Eliza (Book 1)

.+*Chapter 4 - Ellie *+.

* Wake up.

I opened my eyes suddenly, the soul surrounding me again.

She's not safe!
You need to run, Eliza!
She'll ruin you!

* Hi.

I turned around.

* Oh..! Hello!

Ellie smiled. She used magic, and two chairs, a table and some food appeared. We sat down, she seemed rather nice! We talked for a while. She was a creation of a scientist called Gaster. An emotionless girl.

* So... are these all your souls?

She shook her head.

* Souls are my energy source, I absorb them.

* Where do you get them from...?

* I kill people.

I sat frozen in my place.

* Y-You kill people?!

She said yes, with a neutral face.

——————————

As time went on, I realised that the voices I heard before I met Ellie... we're the souls. They had been murdered in pain, their timelines ruined. But eventually I realised her actions were caused by her creator, Gaster.

One day Ellie was talking to Grim, she was in charge of her own body after all, she chose who came out. I walked around, there were so many souls, billions... no, more! Eventually, I saw an end, it was some sort of mirror..

I looked at myself for a little longer when all of a sudden, I saw someone tall... someone scary, stand behind me. I looked around suddenly but nobody was there... it was in the mirror.

* Who are you..?

He put his hands on my shoulders, and smiled. Creepy.

I will be in your head like a shadow. I know what you're capable of, you can get what I want. Revenge. And lots of it. If you reject this, you'll see more of me come every time you get rid of one, hurting those you love.

And if you think of ignoring the voices, if you dare to tell anybody. Not only will you suffer, but so will Ellie. Make the right decision before you become the cause of everybody's misery and losses.

He didn't let go of my shoulder. I tried moving, but it was as if he had created a force, a rope around me.

* Let me go.

My purple aura began to fill all around me like a bubble.

Accept my offer. Listen to me, and no loss... no suffering will enter you life again. You'll find the happiness you always deserved. All this time people just betrayed you and let you to weep. I'll change that horrid fate.

He was right, I had suffered. But time has value.

* No.

The magic bubble popped and shards of glass pierced him. I ran, and I mean ran away from the reflection. I screamed for Ellie, she owed me an explanation.
