Twisted Fate

Chapter 2: Quality Time (Part 1)


It was five in the morning and Ellen opened her eyes. Tim was still on her chest, sleeping. She couldn't help but smile at the little golem. "Tim" she said. "Wake up" she put a finger on the little golem's head, tapping him. The golem looked at her and a few minutes he flapped his wings. With a smile on her face she gently hold the golem and brushed his head "Ready to go to the town Tim?" she asked him and the golem nodded and flapped his wings again in confirmation.

She then pulled herself out of bed and went to get a hot bath before going to the town. About thirty minutes she was done and immediately put warm winter clothes and boots. She had a white long winter jacket that has two white puff balls dangling where the jacket is locked and her hood were covered with a light yellow somewhat dirty white fur line. Once she was done, she opened the door and to what surprised her was the stranger. He was wide awake and he seemed to be looking at the only photo frame in the room. She was expecting him to be asleep in this hour. Maybe he just wake up early because of the cold?

He seemed to notice her as he looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Good Morning Menina, did you sleep well?"

Ellen smiled at him and nodded. "Yes, I slept like a log last night. How about you, s-?"

"Please call me Tyki" he said and his smile never left his face. "Sir makes me sound like an old person"

Ellen giggled. "Did you sleep well last night, mister Tyki?" she said and she could swear that Tyki's eyes gleamed gold then back to his chocolate brown eyes. Was it just a trick of the light?

"No need for formalities, my dear" he said. "Just call me Tyki and yes, I did sleep well, thank you for asking" he smiled and put down the picture. Ellen smiled. "May I know the name of the beautiful girl who just saved me from the cold?"

Ellen blushed yet again and looked at the floor. "Ellen… Ellen Walker"

Tyki chuckled. "So… um… Tyki? I'm going to the town, maybe you want to come with me, maybe find your niece there?" she asked but didn't look at him.

"I would love to, menina~"


In the town

Ellen and Tyki were walking together in the town. Her hood was up and only the half of her face could be seen. She was also holding an empty basket. Timcanpy was hiding on her pocket. Tyki was beside her, following her. She could feel the stares that were drilling on her head. When she looked around, many girls were staring at her. What did she do wrong this time? Even though her hood was up, she could still feel the stares. She was holding up her sneezes too which means that she was being talked about. She really hated stares and glares, it reminded of her of her childhood when she hasn't met her adopted father Mana yet. Remembering the past, she walked aimlessly. But Tyki snapped her to reality.

"Why hide your face menina?"

Ellen blinked and looked at Tyki. "Force of habit, I guess?" True, it was a habit for her. Mana did give her a jacket as a first gift to her on her birthday, the day when he decided to adopt her. Now that her reddish brown hair turned white, she had to hide it. After all, people were judgmental and she might be in big trouble.

Tyki chuckled. "What's so funny?" Ellen pouted. Tyki looked at her and his smirked never left his face. "Nothing, menina" he said. Ellen stared at him. Didn't he have a niece to find? "Aren't you going to look for your niece?"

"My niece is just around here somewhere, she'll just pop out if she wanted to" he smirked. "Why Menina? Do you not want my company?" he said and by looking at his face, she could clearly see the man's pretended-to-be hurt expression.

Ellen shrugged and couldn't help be annoyed. "Not that I don't want your company, but family comes first you know" Tyki frowned and Ellen could swear the hint of annoyance in those eyes.

"TYKIIII!~"

Ellen blinked and saw a girl ran towards Tyki and hugged him on the neck. The girl was wearing a white blouse and a purple skirt and on her hand was a pink umbrella with a pumpkin head on top, she seemed to be a twelve year old girl, but judging from her eyes, it tells age. "See, I already told you, she will just pop out if she wanted to"

"Nee nee Tyki who is this?" the little girl said with excitement as she looked at her. She could feel even more uncomfortable. Instincts telling her not to trust this girl and she should ran for it. Something about her was not right. "Aren't you a shy one?" the girl said as she slowly goes to her. She was in deep thought and she didn't even notice that Tyki's niece pull down her hood revealing her white hair and her visible mercury eye.

The people around them started to stare at her even more.

"Angel"

"The rumored angel!"

"So it's true!"

People started to gather around her. The crowd was going closer and closer to her. Their hands were reaching out for her. She could hear Tyki called out of her but couldn't hear him because of the crowd's ranting.

"Angel blessed us"

"Bless us"

They repeat those words like a mantra. Why are these people calling her angel? Their eyes full of greed. She was now surrounded, what should she do now? There was no way to escape. She couldn't fight them or hurt them. Master has told her not to hurt innocent people. From her pocket, Timcanpy flew and bared his sharp teeth on the people like a guard dog. The crowd slowly backed away because of the angry golem.

Ellen picked and collected herself up and ran towards her home. Tim soon followed her from behind.


Tyki watched at his Ellen fled from the crowd. He could see fear on her eye. Now the question is… Why did the crowd just go after her all of the sudden? By the looks of her, she was surprised and this was the first time she experience this… event.

There was a man not too far from him. He put his hand on his shoulder. "Excuse me" The man looked at him with his emerald eyes. "May I ask why you are calling the girl, rumored angel?" Tyki asked.

The man chuckled and patted his shoulder. Tyki held the urge to just kill the human in front of him. "Ya see lad, there was a priest that visited here not too long ago and he was searching for that angel, a girl with the appearance of an angel, with her white snow hair and mercury eyes" he said. "He said that she blesses people with a good life and luck in the future, for she was sent by god" Tyki's eyebrow twitched.

An exorcist?

An exorcist making fake rumors?

"Nee, Tyki" He looked at her. "There are exorcists here" she was pointing at to where the exorcists were. There were two exorcists and a finder shadowing the two exorcists. One exorcist had a long raven blue hair while the other exorcist was a red head with an eye patch. Are they going to get her? He didn't felt any Innocence on her or near her for that matter…

Road was smiling at him. "Are you worried about her Tyki?"

He eyed the ninth child with annoyance. It was because of her. She ruined his plan to spend at least a day on Ellen to get to know her more to earn her trust. "Don't tell me" she even smiled even more. "You like her, don't you?" she giggled. Tyki still eyed her and his eyebrows were twitching. "You really like her!" she said with a happy and joyful voice. "You really really like her!" she sang. "Nee, Tyki, she's pretty and cute! You should totally go for her!" she was twilling and she was putting her hand on her face. Comically, Road had hearts in the background "I bet your babies will be cute!~ I'll be an auntie! And Papa will be an uncle and Millinie will be a granpa! Kyaaaaa!~"

Tyki twitched on Road's fantasy world.

True, Tyki would like that idea, but it was too soon and he just met the girl for goodness sake.

"What are you waiting for Tyki, go after her!~" the ninth child said as she pouted to him.

He sighed. This was going to be a long day for him. But for the sake of his Ellen. He turned around and walked through the vast forest to find her house again but this time with Road by his side.

When they arrived at her home, Tyki knocked at the door. After a few minutes of waiting, the door slowly opened making a tiny hole on the side and he saw her. She was sad and something was troubling her.

"May I come in menina?" he said and gave her a soft smile.
