Victims of The Voice

Chapter Four (4): The Names we are called

It's been a few hours since everyone arrived in Ceilis and the sun was setting down, the people of Ceilis offered them, hospitality.

Emily—
Emily walked around a desolate area of the streets as no one seemed to live here, she sighed as she thought of the names she were called, they must've known about her outburst of her Phoenix as Emily took a deep breath in, she saw a small dock that seemed to call her forward. Emily walked slowly towards the dock as she heard splashes of water nearby 'Is there an Ocean in Ceilis?' As Emily walked closer, the splashes of water got louder, she arrived to a large pool of water as she saw a dark cavern in the distance as she looked she saw the long oak stairs, she strutted down and reached to the bottom, she saw the glistening, teal sea, it mirrored her reflection... as she swayed her hand against it, she couldn't even look at herself after all the damage she did, she didn't feel like a person at all... Emily crossed her legs as she at the bottom of the oak stairs, looking up at the clouds that surrounded Ceilis, she sighed, she felt drops of tears run down her cheeks. She could feel them running down.

Trellis—
The nice feel of the water calmed Trellis down, for once he felt safe... he felt waves around him as he head creaking footsteps as he turned to look up, he saw a blurry figure, it was hard to see through the water, Trellis saw blobs of red and brown as he recognised the figure, he swan upwards to see her.

Emily sat there, legs crossed. Just then a familiar face popped out of the water taking Emily by surprise "What the-!?" She whispered loudly "Hey! it's just me." Trellis spoke, Emily took a relieved sigh "It's just you...". As Trellis hopped out of the water, Emily saw his shimmering in the sun, water drooped from the end of the hair "What are you staring at?" Trellis joked "U-Umm, Nothing" Stuttered Emily, Trellis chuckled, Emily saw a small smile form on Trellis, it felt nice to see him, she also smiled with warmth in her heart "So..." Trellis replied as he sat next to Emily "What's wrong?" Emily was silent as she slowly answered him "What do you mean? Nothing is wrong!" Emily tried to cover her shaky voice "No you're not. I could hear your muffled crying." Trellis said as his face turned to a disappointed look "Y-You could hear me crying?" Emily stuttered again "Yes." He replied straightforwardly, Emily looked down at the water that waved through, reflecting the clouds and brightness. Emily took a breath on as she spoke "Um... Well some how they found out me losing control..." She waited for Trellis's response as he replied back "And...?" Emily hesitated speaking "And... they started to call me a Monster..." Trellis was stunned 'Monster...' As he thought for a moment, Emily started to have tears roll down her face, Trellis tried to comfort "Sorry... I'm not the best at comforting people..." Trellis spoke, Emily chuckled a bit "Heh...It's fine." "Put your hand in the water." Trellis suddenly said "What?" Emily questioned by this sudden command "Trust me, it'll help." Trellis assured, Emily even though she was skeptical still put her hand in the water as she took off her brown, leathered fingerless gloves, she put her hand in the water and started to giggle as she felt the little fish nibble at the tip of her fingers, "Why are they doing this?" Emily asked as she laughed from the fish, Trellis looked at the teen as he saw her smile once more "There doing that because they think that your hand is food." Trellis smiled at her, "Well...I mean your right it does help, it actually feels quite relaxing." Emily exclaimed 'Like a massage'. The two young stone keepers stayed there for hours and hours on end as they laughed and chatted.
