Chapter 9

“What? Aren’t you happy to see me? You were always happy when you saw me before!” Alyster gave a happy smile, showing off his pearly white teeth. A breeze of wind came by, lightly ruffling his different shaded brown hair. Light shone, the tips of his hair looking blonde instead of brown. He wore slightly worn out pants and a loose T-shirt which was slightly ripped. On his shoulder, hanging off it was a brown bag, presumably with nothing in it.

Eliza stared at him, gaping. She looked in his eyes, searching – what happened? Those blue eyes of his were ocean in colour, standing out above all of his features. Eliza remembered when they were young, she had been scared by a few other kids for fun, but he glared them off with those penetrating eyes of his. Those young moments were good, but they were gone. They were only stored in memory, and couldn’t be redone in the same way.

“I thought you were dead!”

“I was dead. Now I’m not. HE has resurrected me.” Alyster closed his eyes for a second, before opening them again, those eyes of him changing from happy to see her to hard and mysterious.

Jade coloured eyes narrowed at the man, suspecting him of many things. “Who the heck is HE? Resurrection? I don’t think I’d believe in that.”

“You still have that yapping mouth of yours. Why don’t you just shut up a little?” Alyster glared at her. Those blue eyes – they looked as though they had changed to a darker shade of blue than it already was – she didn’t remember they changed colours.

“Well, if I was to shut up, then you should be dead. AND STAY DEAD!” She shouted at him, throwing the nearest piece of junk at him.

Alyster quickly moved his head to the side, effectively dodging the piece of junk that was thrown by the girl he used to adore. “Don’t throw things at the person that you used to love…Eliza.” His voice was hard and stony, sending a shiver down the exorcist’s spine when she thought of those times together.

“Just shut up, will you? You’re not the one that had to go and fight the akuma! You’re only a coward, running away from everything! You’re such an idiot Alyster!” Eliza screamed at him, grabbing random pieces of junk, yet again throwing them at him.

He dodged them all easily with a poker face. “That won’t work.”

“Ha! Whatever you say – stupid piece of crap!” Eliza muttered. She glared at Alyster for a brief second, before deciding that she wouldn’t associate herself with him, just like she did before, after he left her to kill the akuma.

She turned around and started to walk back the way she came, going down the mountain of unwanted rubbish. She heard the racket of tin cans as Alyster stumbled after her, attempting to follow.

“Wait up!” Alyster called after her.

Eliza, being in the pissed off mood she was, completely ignored him and continued forward, her hands clenched into fists and to her sides, swinging to her walking momentum.

The female exorcist remembered that Alyster, when younger, used to follow her after she got mad, and since she was the one that was fast at walking, he had to use ‘wait up’ all the time so that he could catch up.

“I told you to wait up!” Alyster placed his hand on Eliza’s right shoulder, securing a tight hold to it so that it jerked her back.

She stopped.

Her head turned slightly, her eyes looking to the very side, to see a few of his features. She didn’t talk.

“Eliza, look, there’s no need to get mad. We’re both here now. We’re both resurrected.” He spoke.
