Yumi: There has been a long pause between the previous chapter and this one. For this I apologize. The 3rd path of Add has come out, and I am slightly saddened. He looks so evil, and not like the Add I know. His eyes are soulless and black, and his smile is empty. However, I will learn to work with this path in my fanfiction. He will just be slightly colder I suppose. Well, a lot colder. )':
Enough about that though: I shall begin the story. :)
Ara's P.O.V.
It had been a while since I had seen Add. The last time I had saw him was two weeks ago, when he had attacked Eve. Why did he attack her? It was as if he had wanted something from her. Just who was this man? What if all I thought I knew about him was a lie? My thoughts were interrupted by an irritated voice.
"Ara!"
I snapped out of my trance only to see the face of a certain irritated red head. "Oh, sorry Elsword. Today I'm kind of in the zone." I smiled awkwardly. Elsword's face changed from an angry one to a worried one. "Not just today, you've been like this for a while Are you okay?" My smile faded away. To tell the truth, I was a bit hung up over Add, but I couldn't understand why. I had only spent three days with him!
"I'm fine." I said unconvincingly. The rest of the elgang looked at me suspiciously, obviously not buying it. I fidgeted nervously in my seat. Thankfully, Eve saved me from further embarrassment. "Anyway, we should go back to planning our trip to Bethma." I sent Eve a grateful look, then tried to listen to the rest of the meeting.
"We should complete our job advancement quests before departing from Elder. We will need to be in acceptable condition to continue our quest." Eve continued on in a monotone voice. Rena nodded sadly. "I heard that the lizard men are being driven mad by an unknown force, and Kayak is asking for our help."
"We still need to finish helping Hagus with the clearance of Wally's castle. We need to focus on that." Raven reminded us. I found my mind drifting away from the conversation once again. All they were talking about wad fighting, and I couldn't stand it. How will I be able to achieve my goals? How will I be able to save brother…?
I abruptly stood up from the table, six pairs of eyes looking at me from the action. "I'm going to take a walk." "But we're planning strategy!" Chung protested. "I won't be out very long, just fill me in when I come back." I said turning towards the door. "Ara wai-" Raven's voice was cut off by my closing of the door.
I sighed as I walked away from the house. I looked at the sky, as a smile appeared on my face. I was finally out of the house. The warm air enveloped my skin as the sun shown down on me. I walked down the path leading to the center of Elder. I needed to go grocery shopping anyway. I walked into the market, and started to pick out some fruits. I put some melons and apples into my bag, and continued on my way before meeting a large collision. "Kyaaa!" I squealed as I flew through the air. I landed with a thud on the ground. When I opened my eyes I saw a hooded figure running away.
"Hey!" I yelled as I dashed after the figure. The collision might've been an accident, but that person seemed suspicious. I continued running after the person. It continued this way for twenty minutes. Soon, I was panting for breath. I continued running until the person came to an abrupt halt. Unfortunately I was still in motion, thus I bumped into the person again.
"Kyaaa!" I went flying again. What was with this person and bumping into people?! The person's hood flew off to reveal white hair and a familiar face. "Add?!"
