Eliza (Book 1)

.+* Chapter 36 - Start *+.

Ellie's View:
I sat down for my class when I group of students approached me.

'Ugh, back again? Here to break some arms?' They all laughed, I got out my stationary.

* That would be rather immature, wouldn't it?

One of them snatched my pencil off me. I tried to get it back but they mocked me.

'You're pathetic.'

* Whatever happened yesterday, I'm sorry for what I caused.

They didn't stop giggling, I looked down at my book.

'You get hell for what you did to me.'

The feeling of guilt and sadness randomly flowed through me. It was clear that Gaster wanted me to show some sort of reaction, a fake yet moving one.

* I-I'm sorry...
I wiped my tears, sniffing.

'W-Wait don't cry!'

The teacher came walking in and straight towards us.

'Why is she crying?'

'I-'

* It's okay Miss I just...I was just thinking about something sad. They were cheering me up...

The teacher sighed before walking to the front of the classroom.

'Thank you...'

I smiled at them and they smiled back.

My creator's plan was being put in place.

A few hours later...

I ran out of school, waving goodbye to my 'new friends'.

I had souls to absorb. Gaster calculated that if I destroyed an entire city, that would be more than enough to go back to the real world. After all, he had business to finish off with certain people. I teleported to the next city and didn't wait to begin destroying the lives of innocent people. =)

I absorbed the last soul and teleported to my creator, he was waiting for me.

Well?

I nodded as he took me soul to convinced all the magic together. By doing this, we could override the make belief void we were stuck in. I helped him in making the portal and there it was, a real snow din.

Eliza's View:
I was contemplating as to whether sleep and confront them or simply leave it he for now. I wasn't sure. It was better to get it over and fine with.

Welcome back~

There was a familiar feeling nearby. Maybe I was just over exaggerating , because it was very faint.

There was a knock on the door.

It's always the knocks.

I started at the door as the knocks stopped. Perhaps it was someone that had approached the wrong door. I casted a spell, turning invisible.

Shield.

I created a shield as the door exploded and shattered into pieces right there and then. My shield wasn't even strong enough, the blasts pushed me back against the wall then dropped me to the door.

* Who in the world-?!

I cleared the dust in my face and squinted my eyes to find my glasses.

Get her to give us his location, and do it at all costs.

The voice sounded almost hypnotic. I stood up only to see a pink scythe.

Oh but...that's not possible, right~?

* Where is he.
She asked, raising her scythe.

I tried to speak but I just couldn't. This had to be a dream, and a mean one. My hands began to shake, was I seeing ghosts?!

* I won't ask again, Miss Eliza. Where is he.

* E-Ellie what happened to y-

She graced my neck and crashed me back into the wall, her scythe about to stab me in the hip.

* I won't ask again. Where's Grim Alexander?
Her face was blank yet threatening.

* I d-don't know..! What happened to you?!

She let go of me, seeming frustrated.

* I don't want to force it out of you woman, so just tell me.

She grabbed my phone.

* Call him.

She went to my contact and strolled down to his name.

* Go on then, I don't have all day.

She pressed called and put it on speaker. He answered.

"Hey Eliza. Everything alright?" He asked.

* Yeah, everything's good.

Ellie eyed me.

"...Where are you?"

* I'm at home don't worry. Just invited some old childhood friends over.

"Ah I see."

Ellie raised her scythe to my neck.

* W-Where are you?

"About to go into a meeting, why?"

* L-Like a conference meeting? Like the one we went together years ago?

"Sort off but don't worry, I'll always be safe. It's a meeting on the overground, closest one to the barrier actually. A five minute drive." He replied.

Ellie hang up the phone.

* You're coming with me.

Before I could say anything Ellie had grabbed my soul and absorbed it. I blocked and saw I was in her soul. There were too many souls, too many cries and screams. It was like haunt and torture all in one.

A few minutes went by...

Ellie let me out, but I was in some sort of test tube.

* Ellie don't you remember me..?
She couldn't even look at me.

A Gaster walked into the room.

She won't respond unless she's programmed for interaction.

* You're controlling her?!

I have a right to, I'm her creator after all.

It was THAT Gaster? I had to act normal. I sat down and got it my phone and messaged Sofia, thankfully her name was Sof on my phone.

Texting for help won't do much, only a few people can even sense my presence. All I have to do is trick their eyes.

* I know...

Sofia's View:
I looked at the text Eliza had messaged me and laid Amelia down to sleep. That idiot thought he was so welcome back. Grim started to call me. I answered immediately.

"* Eliza's been captured by Ellie and Gaster."

We both went silent.

* Like brother like sister, how'd you know?

"Her words made sense. She always says things are 'lovely', she referred back to her last conference, childhood friends (hers are all dead), I mean it wasn't that hard." He smirked.

* I'm on my way, I strongly suggest you don't go in the underground.

"Why not?"

* Ellie can only have a form in the real world after death with Gaster. He's clearly here to deal with unfinished business.

"Hm true, you know what to do if there's an emergency." He reminded me.

I sighed and said goodbye then hanged up.

It was time to see someone I'd never think of approaching again.
