A Failed Summoning To Another World

Chapter 16) Without Him

Fate POV

Lisa: "Soooo...how are we going to find everyone else?"

Fate: "I'll find them don't worry."

Lisa: "What makes you so confident?"

Fate: "I have something of a sixth sense, I'll always know where they are." I chuckle.

Lisa: "Stalker much?" She chuckles.

Fate: "Overprotective." I correct her.

Lisa: "Heh, I'm not sure how much better that is." She says with a wistful smile.

I could take a guess at what she was smiling at.

Fate: "Old memories?" I decide to ask.

Lisa: "Sorry?" She asks blinking out of her thoughts.

Fate: "You had a look that said you were reliving some old memories." I explain with a soft smile.

She thinks for a moment, then smiles.

Lisa: "Yeah, especially now." She says walking closer.

Argh! Lisa! You're making it hard for me to not just throw you into the air and tell you the truth!

Fate: "Memories are important, make sure to have a clear picture when you look back on them." I say repressing the urge.

Though I wish I could take my own advice, it's getting harder and harder to remember them. Them...those two's names are...

Lisa: "They're my most treasured memories, I promised I wouldn't forget them." She says interrupting my thoughts.

Fate: "A promise? To who?" I ask more curious about her memories than mine.

Her smile becomes distant.

Lisa: "Someone very important to me." She says softly.

I give her a small smile, I promise you'll meet him again.

Lisa: "Ahaha, sorry for bringing down the mood. It's a festival, I should be enjoying it." She says with a slightly forced smile.

Fate: "I'll make sure you do." I say confidently with a grin.

Lisa: "Oh you better." She threatens playfully.

Soon the sensation of my thread tells me the rest of them are close.

Ambrosia: "Fate! There you are!" She exclaims running towards us, pushing her way through the crowd. "And you brought Lisa!" She says happily.

Lisa: "Ambrosia! It's been too long!" She exclaims meeting Ambrosia half way and they collide into a hug.

Fate: "You weren't that excited to see me again." I say faking a sad tone and pout.

Sheila: "Do not try to act like a puppy when you're as cute as a rabid dog, it's very unsightly master." She says with her normal straight face and tone.

Irene: "Can you try to not be such a bitch for one second?" She scowls at Sheila.

They glare at each other as Evelyn tries to keep between them with a worried and helpless look.

Lisa: "Oh! You're name is Irene right?" She says in recognition.

Irene: "Yes, and yours is Lisa correct?" She asks turning away from Sheila.

Lisa: "Yeah, I didn't expect to see you here with everyone else." She smiles.

Fate: "She found a reason to stick around." I say throwing Irene a smirk.
