Voice.

~6~

Lillia managed to fall back sleeping last night despite the hours of sleep she had in the afternoon. She got up, got ready, got to school She has always been the kind to reach school early like how cliques would get together in the morning and gossip. Just that Lillia do not have friends... and she is not looking forward to 1 because to her, it's just another burden.

Lillia: Dang it's quiet in the morning. Let's see...how to get to my class...

Lias: There's a directory board behind you

Lillia: This school is so huge they need a board for students to get to classes... I'm over here...and my class go after the science labs, Gyms and music...room...

Lias: What's wrong? Thinking of somebody?

Lillia: Got it right this time... sigh

Just at this moment, she jolted at the voice of someone she knew too well.

Leo: Lillia?

Lillia: L-L-Leo

Leo: what's wrong? You were mumbling tp yourself. Are you lost?

Lillia: Yeah...but i found my way so..yea...

Leo: I see...

The tension was so high both of them knew this was getting very awkward. Very.

~

Should i ask her? About that day or does she already know.. it felt so surreal i'm convinced it's a dream but at the same time, not.

~

How do i start out conversations again? How's your day? How are you feeling today?Argh socialising is so hard!!!

Nope. It's just you.

Leo: hey..mind if i walk with you?  I'm heading to the music room.

Lillia: sure i guess..

We of them started walking but carried the awkwardness along.  Say something Lias.

Lias: Lillia, sorry to break this mood of yours but i sense another manifestation. But it's very far. We need to go now before it reaches the final stage.

THANK GOD. Ironically...

Lillia: I...uh gotta go... i need to meet a teacher. See ya!

*Lillia dashes away*

Leo: Talk about escaping. The staff room ain't even open. This is a chance for me to confirm things.

Leo tailed after Lillia, not thinking any of consequences that would possibly befall upon him

Lillia ran to somewhere she hoped no one was there and jumps to a roof. She concentrates her energy to her right leg and her leg started glowing. She was about to leap of when Leo caught her.

Leo: Lillia!

Lillia : Shi-

She lost her focus and balance and tripped while she head-slammed the ground. Ouch.

Lillia: did you see anything?

Leo: What are you Lillia? I saw everything. Including your transformation you did last week. Tell me everything. I want to know.

Lias: if you weren't a Reaper, that would've been a confession.

Lillia: You have no idea what you're getting yourself into.

"NOIRE LUSTRATIONIS"

Sudden gusts of wind surrounded Lillia and overwhelmed Leo. He faltered back and lost his balance while burning this very moment into his soul. When the wind dissipated, Lillia was right there. Right in front of him but he couldn't believe it.  The Lillia he knew, thought he knew, had black hair and blue icy eyes. But what he is seeing..is a demon. One that was clear to him not to mess with.

Lillia: This is who i am. What i am. Think through things again before asking me anything. I'll be at the rooftop.

With that, Lillia flew away. Leaving Leo sitting there, dazed.

Lias: are you okay?

Lillia: I'll be fine.

Lias: It's at Central City.

Lillia: Got it.

As the got closer, Lias seemed to be more worried. And nervous. Which was very unlike Lias.

Lillia: why are you so quiet? Especially when we're getting a meal you're always annoying.

Lias: Meal or not it's SS-Ranked.

Lillia: SS? But that's

Lias: the final form that any phantom can be. Human form.

Lillia: this is gonna get nasty. Start casting Memory wipe barrier.

Lias: it's useless. Every human is dead.

Lillia: Dead? it did it all alone?

Lias: I'm not surprised. This is our first time against SS. Think you can handle it?

Lillia: think again who you're talking to. I'm the strongest Reaper. If i can't, then the world is doomed.

Lillia is starting to rage. It took the lives of so many humans. Humans with families to return to. Families that are waiting for them to go back. Families that are working hard to earn a stable life. And when she thinks about how all this warm families are killed, there's no way Lillia is ever thinking of saving it.

Lillia: I'm diving in.
