Eliza (Book 1)

.+* Chapter 5 - Magic *+.

Ellie's View:
I went into my soul, seeing the souls I had absorbed go behind Eliza in fear.

* Ellie..h-how could you do such a thing?! Those people had LIVES to live.

* Oh well.

Eliza pushed me into a large puddle of souls. They grabbed me and dragged me down.

* Hey, let go!

* See how it feels to be forced out of your own will?!

I used magic, forcing the souls off me.

* You don't want to mess with me Eliza, the only reason why you're here is because of me.

I glared at her with pink darling eyes, I was not of the mood for her petty talks.

* Gaster will make you something you're n-

Eliza's View:
Ellie blasted me back, warning me never to mention that name again.

See what happens if you disobey me?

* Ellie no matter how many times people tell you, never forget that you are your own identity.

I swapped, it was already the next morning. As much as I wanted to be with Grim, I was here unfairly... unjustified.

"Good morning, Eliza." He smiled over at me.

* Grim.

We turned to face each other. My heart beat getting louder and louder again. I had to do it...

* Time is precious and I've used it unfairly to come back to life...I don't deserve that.

"Eliza, what do you mean..?"

I kissed him, and the world seemed to notice how hurt I was to let him go one last time.

Tears ran down my eyes as I looked into his.

* If only the world was on our side forever..

I took out the soul, separating myself from Ellie's, everything went black.

* Table time!

Of course. One Eliza was crying emotionally.

* That was the most BEAUTIFUL scene ever...-!
She wiped her tears while finishing her popcorn.

I frowned, it was this all over again.

Sofia's View:
I stepped through another portal. Why was I still doing this? It was helpless. I knocked on a few doors, the person I was looking for wasn't here. I walked through snowdin and saw something very upset... so I thought it would've been nice to help them feel better.

* A-Are you alright..?

He was holding a flower, he shook his head.

* I'm sorry f-for your loss... I've lost a lot of people in my life, so which I loved very dearly...

He sniffed.

"I lost my lover.."
He began to cry again.

* Mine too, but I know they'd want us to be strong for them, r-right?

He nodded.

"Thank you, uh-"
He lifted his head and we froze in place. This couldn't be right. It couldn't be...

* Brother?!

"Sofia how did you find me?!"

That's all he had to ask? I slapped him hard across the face, furious.

* You left me, alone, all this time and THAT'S all you ask me? No wonder why Gaster sent me to find you...

"Gaster? What does Gaster want from me?" He asked.

My heart fell to the fact he couldn't care less about me anymore...

* He never finished the experiment h-he started on you.
Grim walked home and I rushed after him. Was he out of his mind?! I teleported on.

* Where have you been all this time, brother?

"Finding a-"

* Life, yeah I remember. But what about the 'we'd do this together' part.
Grim went silent and looked down. He disappointed me.

* You don't have to answer, I get it.. I'm pretty useless anyway. Do you mind if I stay with you for a bit?

"Sure, it's the least I could do for my little sister. We have a lot to catch up on." Grim smiled at me, and I smiled back.

We had a talk about where we both ended up, it was rather interesting. He had done very well, I was proud of him. 🙂 After a while, my chest starting to hurt. I zipped open my bag and got my soul reading machine. Grim had a confused look on his face.

* What?

"What is that?"

* A soul monitor.

I took my soul out and Grim looked rather shocked.

* What, never seen an unstable soul before?

"... Not THAT banged up!" He exclaimed.

I placed my soul in the machine where it could rest and scan for any abnormalities.

* Grim stop looking worried, I'm fine.

"How long has your soul been this way?"

Oh so now he cared?

* Years, Grim. Nobody I've met has been able to fix it. I doubt you would.

He apologised for everything, explaining how he would've gone back for me if he could. Of course I forgave him... it was just a shame to realise how family wasn't his priority like how he used to be. I guess people change.

"Can you use a lot of magic with that soul of yours?"

* I wish, merely teleporting depletes my magic.

At least I knew I was in safe hands.
