Elise 2 (COMPLETED)

Chapter 10

I tried to take a short nap before my mom would come home, but I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was that Jaski that took over my body. I knew that when Suni said that it was alright he was lying to make me feel better.

When my mom finally got home later that night, I told her about Suni, but not about the other Jaski, the Synth, and definitely, not about my spirit coming out of my body.

I took off the strips of fabric that wrapped both Suni's and my hand. I cleaned both of our cuts over the sink in my bathroom. I asked if it was okay if I could leave his cut exposed so that it hopefully wouldn't draw attention to my mom. He agreed, and I did so. Gladly, my cut didn't come to her attention, but Suni's did.

"What happened?" She asked.

He started to panic and blush little. "I, um, I-"

"He tripped and scratched it on one of my sculpting tools for my clay." I butted in. They both looked at me and Suni gave me a weak little smile.

"You really need to clean your room, Elise! Especially now that you have friends."

"Mom!" I blushed. She was right. I didn't have any real friends before I met Shaney and Annie 3 years ago in 4th grade.

"Okay. But you need to clean that room. Go. Go. I need to clean his cut." She said.

"Alright." She took Suni to the bathroom, telling him things like "I'm sorry that this happened." and "Does it hurt?"

Meanwhile, I went up to my room and cleaned it up a bit. Suni came back after a few minutes with a gauze pad over his cut and medical tape wrapped around his hand holding it on.

My mom yelled up the stairs.

"Be careful, Suni. Elise, I have to run to the store. Be back in 10!"

"Okay." I yelled back. Then I heard the front door shut, then lock.

Suni sat down on my chair. I was going at a pretty good pace with cleaning up, but then the cut on my hand started to hurt.

"Ah." I said softly, grabbing my hand, dropping the items that were in it.

"Elise?" Loni asked.

"I'm fine."

"O-Okay." It sounded like she knew that I was lying. But then I realized that it wasn't what I heard. It stung me, like when one of my Demons has an extreme emotion. Then it hit me. I stood up and faced Loni with a plain look on my face. Her smile turned into a look of confusion and shock.

"E-Elise? W-What are you-" She started. I put my hand up at her as if to stop her words. My hand started to glow.

"Honi" I said.

"What are you doing, Elise?" Loni asked. Now she looked really confused, but deep down, she knew what I was doing, but she was questioning in her head: "Why me?" , "How?" , and "Would it work?".

"It-You can't-" Shina said.

"Zaki." I continued. I could feel her name as if it were a demons. It was there. I could feel emotion. I had a feeling telling me that it was going to work.

"It just might." Shana said, rubbing her chin.

"But-!" Yanu yelled.

"LONI!"
