Ellie POV

I was shock of what Akuryo said. I thought he love Elata not me. This is impossible. There is no way he can fall for me. I don't want that. He ran over to me cup my chin and leaned on me. I knew from that moment he was about to kiss me.

"Go away!" I shouted

I pushed him away from me. He looked at me with shock. I glared at him. What does he think he is for trying to kiss me? This is not right. I knew if Elata finds out of what Akuryo said to me, then she'll hate me too, but I got to try. I don't even want Akuryo to kiss me. I want someone who I love will kiss me.

"W-Why?" Akuryo stuttered.

I sighed. "Akuryo, I know right now you love me, but I don't love you."

"There's someone else isn't there?" Akuryo asked. "Nico?"

I paused. The way I was acting arounf him. Was it love all along? Am I in love with him? Does this explains everything? When did I start to fall for him? I remember when I started to have these feelings. It was when Nico came to help me to dfeat the centippii woman. How come I didn't realized this before? Why am I so dence about this?

"Yes," I fianlly answered. "It's Nico. I love him, Akuryo. You love Elata not me. Even though I'm her reincarnation, but I'm still different from her. You can't expect me to fall for you cause of that. Trust me. Elata is the one who you love the most. Not me. Elata."

Akuryo looked down at the ground. I didn't want to hurt his feelings, but this is the truth. He may be a good guy sometimes, but he's not the one for me. Nico is. I wished I would of thought of his feeling sooner, but I was so dence about this. Now I wanted to tell him how I feel. I wonder if I should tell him. Do I just say it when were alone? I'm not sure of how this works, but I have to try.

I walked away from Akuryo so he can think about of what I said. I wanted to leave him some space. As I was walking, I saw a brown mockingbird, whistling to me. The whistling sounds a lot like Rue's. I'm sure that is becaues she whistle to me before she died. I'm sure about that. It'll be awkward to see that she got turned into a bird. It'll still make me regret of whta happen to her. I wonder if her godly or mortal mom or dad is angry at me that Rue died. If they are I don't blame, it's my fault anyway.

As I got to the cave, I saw Nico. My heart lifted up at first, but then Nico was leaning against the wall as if he'd was in pain. I didn't know what happen when I was gone, but I hope he's all right. When he saw me, his eyes were angry, but in pain too. I never seen him like this before. It's like hatered has taken over him. Is he alright? Is he sick? Nico clecnhed his fists. He glared at me as if my soul will enter the Fields of Punishment.

"So how was smooching with Akuryo?" Nico asked

"What?" I questioned him.

"You love Akuryo don't you?" Nico said. "Don't try to predent that I don't know what I'm talking about! I heard everything! After Akuryo confessed, I knew you love him! So I came back here and see how's your pretty little love life going."

I clench my fists. "You don't understand."

"I do understand!" Nico snarled. "You love Akuryo! Even though you're Elata's reincarnation, that doesn't make you Akuryo's woman! You should have thought of this before you fall for him, but no, you were stupid enough to love him instead! I can't wait to see when you and Akuryo finally broke! I hope that you have the same fate like Elata becaues I'm not helping another reincarnation!"

My faced harden. Tears were in my eyes. "Are you an idtiot? Do you think I actually cared about Akuryo? Do you think I love him? Do you actually think of what truly happened? I never loved Akuryo! I wanted Elata and Akuryo to be together! Not me and him! I love someone else not Akuryo! Don't you understand? I love you, Nico why can't you accept that!"

Then there was silence. I couldn't believe I confessed in this way. That's not I wanted it to be, but I couldn't help it. He got me furious of what he thinks of what happen with Akuryo and I. I wished Akuryo never confessed to me. I wished Akuryo just confessed to Elata, not me. Why does this has to happen? Why do things happen this way?

"Your love is an illusion." Nico finally replied. "I never love you. You should know that."

My eyes widen. Tears were dirpping from my cheeks and to my chin. Did he said what I think he said? Did he said my love for him is an illusion? I clench my fists in pain. It felt like I was stab by a knife. My heart felt like it was shattered into a million pieces. Is my love for him is false? was it a hopeless love? If it is, then why was he so kind to me? If he doesn't love me, I would rather be hated by him. Nico turned his back to me and walked away. I fell on my knees. I sob silently to myself. The one thing I regret now is I wished I had never fallen in love with Nico di Angelo.
