III Sun x Moon: FALLEN [complete]

Chapter 10

Elaine Cross

"Babe, I need to stay here for a while. You and the others can go back to the camp and never mentioned this place to anyone since only you can see the entire land out of your FALLEN state."  I linked only LJ since everything between us was been broken because of my shift earlier.

'Okay, but be careful. I don't have any link from you aside from being your synchronization partner.'

"These monster can't harm me aside from you."  I giggled as I told her the truth that she was the only one capable of hurting me.

When our link was cut off, I noticed that the monsters out here was having simple life like what we have back in town and like us, there were also gangsters, bullies or simply bad monsters and those monsters were the one who were attacking the town.

"Who were the beasts here?" I asked while I was looking around the land while walking.

"A lot." Malour replied but kept on walking that made Velvet shrugged her shoulder to let it just go that I nodded to.

As we're on the way to nowhere, I felt something tugged my stomach at first it was bearable but as we got somewhere closer to the creepy dead tree along the road, it was getting heavier and bad. I started to vomit black blood. Velvet and Malour were shocked to what's happening to me but I know that they knew what's happening to me. I looked at them with emotionless one then stood up like nothing happened. I walked ahead of them like I know where they were talking me and I did since this particular beast was calling me. for some reason that I’d like to find out for myself.

At the front of the creepy dead tree, I stood firmly and attempting to touched it but Malour stopped me.

"STOP! It's a cursed tree. Everyone who touched this tree turned into dark fallen." Malour halted me but I gave him a nodded then smiled.

"Don't worry this beast need to be out from sometime." I chuckled but Malour held my arm tightly.

"Malour, this was one of the beasts I came for. They've been calling me since I'm awaken." I calmly told him but he didn't budge.

"Reveal what's need to be seen. Take this hand to set you free." I chanted that made the ground crumbled and the tree began to crack on its own since I never touched it because of Malour.

The tree began to shuttered in half and within the cracked tree, a very Goth little girl showed up and it has wings. She was small like a porcelain doll with black wings and she went to me with blankness on her face.

"What's the name of thy?" she asked me while floating and Malour held his ground defensively.

"I'm Elaine Cross." I answered that made her looked schoked from hearing my name then she flew around me in such adrenaline of happiness. I guess.

"Finally, a Cross line found me. I've been waiting for years for their line to find me then here you are. I'm Kurotsubasa." She said in such excitement that made me giggled then she sat on my shoulder and glared at Malour's familiar.

I sighed then shook my head then looked to where the road and I saw in such distance that there were a fight happened.

"I think there was a ruckus over there." I told Malour and Velvet while pointing that direction that made then rushed toward it.

I followed them and it was not a surprised at all. Monsters challenged anyone who messed up with them. They looked idiots yet this one was interesting when they fought. A turquoise like monster with long spiky tail, strike in such flash to its opponent who just looked like hulk with stone like skin but its opponent blocked it with thick sand around him.

"Sand manipulator." I mumbled that made Kurotsubasa agreed as we both sat on the sideline watching in amusement while Malour and Velvet tried to stop them yet they couldn't.

"Should we help them?" Kurotsubasa asked me with her cute little voice that made smiled calmly.

"Nope. We won't help unless they ask for our aid." I responded to her that made her nodded and we both watched them carefully like we're studying all of them.

They fought in fast pace but my eyes still can keep up with them until this one was getting me so bored and I don't like it much. I stood up with calmness yet so damn bored to watch them repeat their counters over and over again.

I passed Malour and Velvet that made them stopped while I kept walking toward those boring monster then stopped them in instant. They were frozen to their ground while growling at me but I don't care as I yawned in front of them.

"You two fought so boring and I don't like it much." I kept yawning that made them pissed off even more but they were still frozen to their places.

"Master Elaine, what do you want me to them?" Kurotsubasa asked me that made them jolted then stood up straight like they don't want to mess with her.

"Oh nothing Kuro, let just went back home. I'm so tired." I just told her that made her nodded then she spread her wings wider and bigger enough to make me fly with her.

She placed herself to my back then we flew back to the castle and landed to the garden where Velvet took me in when I fainted. When we got there, I help myself out to roamed around the castle just to find where was the bathroom and a wardrobe for my clothing since I've been using this clothes since this morning.

"Master, why you're with that Malour geezer?" she asked me as I entered an unused room with complete necessity needed.

"I have to learn about the FALLEN's life." I replied that made her nodded as she followed me inside the bathroom and dipped ourselves in to clean up.

After a relaxing bath, we changed our clothing when a mad Malour entered the room without knocking and it wasn't surprised to me since I've got the idea that he'll see me naked. Malour stunned a bit then went out immediately to the room and I can hear Velvet laughing voice then she's the one who entered the room.

"You know this room, belongs to Rose when she was your age." Velvet said while smiling like she remember something from distant past.

"I know I smelled her scent here that's why I let myself in since I knew she wont mind at all." I respond while I'm wearing old clothes of Rose, her sister.

"You're funny one. Just like your mentor Ayame." Velvet chuckled as she let herself sat on the bed.

"So she's been here?" I asked her with a bit shocked into my tone as I began to comb Kurotsubasa's silver wavy hair.

"Of course as well as MIR. They've been here since my sister chooses them to be a medium between FALLENs and your kind." She confirmed with simple smiled on her face.

"Well, that's why I'm here."  I nodded as I took Kurotsubasa and sat next to Velvet.

"And I'll be the one who will kill you then." Velvet chuckled as she stood up.

"Can't wait for tomorrow." I chuckled as well then flopped on the fluffy bed.

"See you then." Velvet said then left the room that made me and Kurotsubasa slept.
