asta x noelle

Part 2

"What??" Noelle sees her mother, kind at heart but corrupted by evil.

"I won't!!" shouts Acier." I won't kill my baby!!" She's fighting the evil inside her.

Noelle looks at her mother, "she's fighting herself.. for me..."

But it's too strong, "Noelle, move, please!! I can't hold it much longer!"

Noelle tries over and over, but it's no use she is completely drained.. Acier is struggling to hold herself back

"Noelle... u have to kill me... I beg you, sweetie... please, I won't forgive myself if I hurt you... please.."

Noelle and acier stare at each other. Noelle's eyes tell her mother that she can't move, but even if she could, she couldn't kill her mother...
Acier never saw her grow, or laugh, or cry, but noelle knew she loved her.. noelle needed her mother. Her death affected so much.. This is the one time she got to see her, and she has to kill her...

"Noelle, my baby, I'm so proud of you, and I'm sorry, but whatever happens, please know I would never want to harm you."

Acier can't hold on any longer, and the sword swings forward...
Luckily, noelle manages to muster up the strength to move slightly, but her arm is still cut.

"My baby, I'm sorry." Acier lifts the sword again as noelle closes her eyes, knowing she can't save herself..

"asta.."

Noelle opened her eyes to she her mother, stabbed by asta. Acier is shocked but then smiles, knowing her child survived.

"Noelle.." says asta

Asta runs to noelle (asta doesn't realise that was noelle's mother)

"Hey, u okay?!"

"U came.." Noelle smiles softly

"Of course, come on, let's get you out of here." asta lifts her up, holding her bridal style as he starts to walk away from Acier.

"Wait... my mother"  noelle looks at her mother, who's staring up at the sky, with a soft smile.

"That's your moth--"
