25. Ember City part 2
"Any sign of her yet?"
"No Kid, nothing."
"Okay…"
"We'll find her, don't worry."
"It's been three weeks…"
I've been at Hiro's place for three weeks now. We've become friends, and I've started to adjust to Ember City. It's a nice place; it has the same sun and moon as Death City, along with the same feel…the feel of home. The feeling I've missed dearly.
I put my backpack on the coffee table and sat on the couch. Hiro walked over and sat by me. "Hey are you okay? You've been spacing out allot lately." Hiro said. "I'm fine. I just…almost forgot the real reason I came to Ember City." I said. "And what's that?" He asked. I shook my head. "You're better off not knowing."
Hiro started leaning closer to me. "What are you doing…?" I asked. "I really like you Alissa." He said. I blushed and pushed him away. He looked at me, confused. "I'm sorry…I can't. It's not you. I can't forget the reason I came here. I can't do this Hiro." I said. "Why not?" Hiro asked. "I have a family back home. I have a fiancé, a daughter and I have more than I ever have had. I had to come here to get rid of some bad people but I brought you into this and now you're in danger! I'm sorry Hiro, but I have to go." I said, picking up my bag and walking to the door. Hiro stood. "Alissa wait!" He said. "I'm sorry Hiro." I said, walking out the door.
I ran. Ran as far as I could. I fell onto my knees and covered my eyes as tears slid down my cheeks. "What am I doing? Now Hiro might die…I shouldn't have left Death City…but Kid still might be in danger…"
Death watched Alissa through his mirror. He watched her push Hiro away and run. He watched her fall and he sighed. Spirit stood beside him. "So you know where she is?" He asked. No answer.
"You haven't told Kid yet?"
"It was her decision to leave. She has her reasons." Death said. They watched the mirror as Alissa stood up and walked toward a broken-down building. She went inside and the mirror started to get fuzzy. Death growled and smacked his mirror. "Darn thing! Oh well, looks like I'll have to start my part sooner than I thought." Death said, the mirror turning off. "Kid, I know you're in here. You can come out."
I turned on my flashlight and looked around the room. It was dusty, but looked as if someone was just in here. "Aunt Arachne, I know you're here. Show yourself."
Spiders built up and Arachne was soon smiling at me. "Hello Alissa. Are you ready to go yet?" She asked. I scoffed. "You seriously think I would go with you after what you did? I'm here to put an end to you." I said. My hand started glowing, and then my arm turned into a sword. It started glowing red and I smirked at Arachne. "So I can see you've been practicing." She said. I started running toward her and swung. I missed and she swung her arm at me, sending me flying back. I crashed into the wall and gasped in pain. I shrugged off my bag and stood, brushing myself off. I felt wind in the room and smirked at Arachne. "I'm ready for you Alissa."
Hiro ran through the streets of Ember City. "Alissa!" He called. "Alissa where are you?"
He stopped when he heard noise coming from a building. Hiro crept toward it and peered inside. He saw Alissa, floating in the air, her eyes glowing white, and a woman. Alissa shot a ball of energy toward the woman and she shouted in pain. "I see…you really have been practicing. Maybe you can join the witches coven...Mitsuki is already in it." Arachne said. Alissa froze. "What?"
"Alissa?"
Alissa turned, her eyes huge with fear. "What are you doing here Hiro?" She hissed. "I came to find you. I wanted to make sure you're safe." He said. "Hiro get out of here!" Alissa shouted. "But Alissa!" He protested. "Your friend was dumb to come for you. His life is the cost that he will pay…!" Arachne said. She shot a dark ball of energy towards Hiro and Alissa shoved him out of the way. "GO!" She yelled, as the ball hit her, slamming her through the building.
"You're saying you've known where Alissa was this entire time?" Kid shouted, glaring at his father. Death was maskless, his dark hair hanging in his face. "Yes. Alissa asked me to keep it from you until she was either almost going to fail, or until I thought she needed help. She needs you Kid." Death said. "Why didn't you tell me where she was from the beginning?" Kid shouted. "She knew you would do this is why!" Death replied. Kid stopped.
"Father, tell me where she is. I have to go help her." Kid said, his hands in fists. "Kid, I can't send you alone. I have to send someone else with you. I'll send Black*Star and Tsubaki." Death said, just as Black*Star ran in the room. "Ready for duty!"
"Alissa! Alissa open your eyes!"
I let out a groan of pain and felt a sharp pain in my back. I opened my eyes and everything was fuzzy. As soon as my gaze cleared up, I saw Hiro looking at me, a worried expression on his face. "Are you okay?" He asked. "A-Arachne…" I muttered, sitting up, wincing at the pain. "She's in the shed…I don't know where that lady came from, I've never seen her here before." Hiro said. I heard a noise and looked towards the shed. Arachne walked out. "Hmph. You're making this complicated for yourself Alissa."
