The final day of the fight
Alice held onto the child tightly. She was sleeping soundly under the pile of blankets, unlike the others, who were fighting for their lives, fighting for her. She looked around, and the coast was clear. Good. At least she could tend to her wound and stow away the child somewhere far away from the bloodied battlefield. Lastly, she could also join in the fight with Vincent. Like what they've promised last night, fight together, die together. But, was that really the only way out to save that child in her arms? She glanced down, stroked a finger down the cheek, wiping the tear tracks along the way.
Just then, the leaves rustled behind Alice. She turned back, and glanced. Nothing was amiss. So she continued tending her wound by her side, while looking lovingly at the child on the grass. "Dude, if you're going to creep behind me, you're going to be in deep shit," Alice sang lightly under her breath while trying to pick out the venom in her wound. Another rustle of the leaves, and then the Necromancer came out. "How did you know that I was going to do that?" That Necromancer breathed, black eyes boring into aquamarine. She pointed at her head, and drew out a graceful looking sword from its snow white sheath.
"No more talk. Let's end this through and through." She muttered, and threw the sheath down. The Necromancer gasped. Never in his life has he actually seen a pure white sword. Shielding the child from the Necromancer, Alice brought down the sword, trying to cut through the Necromancer. Unfortunately, she missed and instead tore a part of his cloak. She realized that she couldn't fight with a child in her arms, for fuck's sake! She threw the child down unceremoniously, which bounced high enough to land with a loud thud. The child then wailed so loud that it could wake the dead. Alice walked up unsteadily towards the Necromancer and raised her sword. With a battle cry, she ran towards the Necromancer and stabbed him, but at the wrong place. Alice groaned. It would take a while for him to materialize back to Earth, which meant more work for the gang.
"Oh well, who really cares huh? As long as we kill him the next time, I guess its okay, right, Alyssa?" Alice cooed to the child on the ground. Alyssa unclenched her fists and yawned. Just then, the Necromancer appeared in front of the pair of them. Alyssa started screaming in fear while Alice kicked the Necromancer away with her full strength. 5 more minutes to the Necromancer's disappearance, what can she do to defend herself and her own daughter, when she herself is dying from the venom in her wound made by the acolytes?
15 years later
"Alyssa, if you lose this fight, you're going to pay dearly," Vincent growled, brandishing his own Machete out and getting into the fighting stance. Alyssa circled around Vincent, preparing to strike when Vincent starts attacking. With a cry, he flew towards Alyssa, who blocked with her sword, and brought down the Gladius, trying to strike Vincent's left arm. Sparks flew, and Alyssa stumbled. She threw her own sword away and fought with the Gladius one handed. When Vincent lashed out at her, she jumped away and swung the blade towards his. Sparks flew due to the friction and Vincent was shocked at the vast amount of strength that Alyssa contained.
Nevertheless, he tried to injure her, but to no avail. He has never encountered such strength after Alice's demise. Alice could deck him and he could be hurting for days. Imagine Alyssa doing that, like what Alice did. He would really be a wimp, like what Cloud says. Releasing a guttural roar, Vincent charged towards Alyssa and attacked in frenzy, trying to find any opening where he could potentially injure her. "Fuck, this is tiring!" Alyssa gasped out, and even the feather light Gladius felt like lead in her hands. Her whole body was aching, worse than the conditioning that Vincent forced her to do every single day. Ah ha! An opening! Vincent struck in, only to find his Machete flying out his hand. Lewis glanced at Alyssa. "Dude, you okay?"
The way he moved was like fluid. Alyssa thought that she would be injured again, but when Lewis knocked Vincent's Machete to the ground, an unrecognizable feat achieved by Lewis, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then she stood up, fully energized, for she had a partner to fight her stepfather.
"Father, can we fight without any weapons? Since your sword is like, halfway across the…"Lewis did not finish his sentence, for Vincent's leg swung from nowhere, thus making his hair messy. He growled in frustration and muttered to Alyssa "Al, do what we usually do to piss those assholes off."
Alyssa was now left alone, to spar without weapons with Vincent. It's like, seriously, practically impossible to win him without weapons. So she had no choice but to trust in Lewis' screwed judgment and her limited experience of fending off stupid gangsters who mock her and Lewis. She waited. Vincent ran towards her, swinging his fist. Alyssa jumped upwards and landed on Vincent's broad shoulders, and climbed behind to look as if she was being piggy-backed by him. Then she swung her tiny fist and hit his back.
Ouch. Lewis watched from a distance and winced. Alyssa was small for her size, true. But her punches contain pure brute strength that it's virtually impossible for a girl like her. He shook his head, whistling, he walked leisurely towards Vincent and tripped him. Vincent fell towards the ground, and then Alyssa slid off his back. She ran towards Vincent and sang, "Father, father, father! Did we fail you?" Vincent shook his head and walked out of the room coldly. Alyssa flinched from the iciness emitted from Vincent, but plastered a fake, wide smile and faced Lewis. "Now, how will I patch you up?"
(Okay, I thought of ending here. However I think I should not be so evil heh. This will be Alyssa's POV.)
Alyssa'
While I bandaged my wounds, I hummed a song under my breath. Aunt Tifa and Uncle Cloud told me that Mother loved to sing, and she looked exactly like me. Just that she's shorter and noisier. Then I looked at Lewis, who was sleeping beside me. I was obviously, manically, in love with him. Sadly, he would never ever give a glance at me… Unless, I'm injured, or I was involved in some stupid gangfight thanks to him. Or maybe like that situation just now. He would never fall in love with me. Somebody way shorter than him, stupider, will never ever gain any attraction from him. Unless I'm like Yuri, the girl who lives across our house.
After tending my wounds, I turned to Lewis and shook him awake. No reaction, as always. I tickled him and he was up in a shot, his head hitting the bunk bed above mine. I giggled and he shot me the evil eye. "Damn you, Alyssa. Why can't you just change other methods of waking me up?" He growled and chased me around the room once, twice, trice, then he tripped against the chair and fell face down the floor. I gasped in horror and dragged him onto my bed, immediately tending to his scrapes. When I completed that task, Lewis was already asleep. In his slumber, he mumbled "Al, I love you. So goddamn much, but I can't tell you…" I smiled and kissed his lips. He would never know about it. I walked out of the room, and knocked on my stepfather's door.
"Enter," His gruff tone said. I opened the door and walked in. "Father, I'm sorry for what I've done… Can I tend to your wounds?" I asked timidly. A faint smile ghosted across his lips, and he took off his shirt. I helped him to dress the wounds and started to make a move for the door. However the low tone of his voice drifted to my ears. "Alyssa… You look so much like your mother…" Should I ask him about mother? Or should I not? After wrestling with those two tempting choices, I decided to ask him that question.
"Father, tell me about Alice, my mother. Please."
