Chapter 28: Eli's Harsh Words
Minerva was excited that she had finally captured another Hermione Card but when her father asked her why the maid had been taken away she lied, telling him that she had fainted.
"Is she going to be alright?" her father asked.
"They said that she should be fine," Minerva answered.
"I'm glad to hear that," her father said and he headed into his study.
Later on she told Kero that she hated the idea of lying to her father. Kero told her that it was necessary to make sure that no one found out about the Hermione Cards.
"I still hate lying to him," Minerva said.
"Don't worry about that, Kero-chan said, placing his small hand on her own, "This will be over and then you won't have worry about this anymore."
"I can't wait," Minerva said.
The next morning Minerva decided to take a break from school work and head to the park. It was a nice, warm, day and she was looking forward to time to think. She sat down on the swing and started to move forward and back.
"Nice day to think you're so important," said a harsh voice and Minerva stopped what she was doing.
She turned and saw Eli standing there.
"What are you doing here?" Minerva asked him.
"That's for me to know and you to find out," Eli said, grinning, "So the all powerful Cardcaptor can't even tell her father the truth. You're just as weak as your mother."
Minerva body filled with rage. How dare this little thing insult her mother?
"And why can't you leave my mother's memory in peace?" Minerva asked him, "She's dead and so that makes you think you can just make fun of her."
Eli crossed his arms and smiled.
"I know a lot about your family," Eli said, "And trust me when you find out the truth you're not going to be happy."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Minerva asked him but Eli had already vanished into the distance.
When Kero asked her what was wrong she didn't answer. She wasn't going to tell him that Eli had taunted her. Anyway, he lies about everything and this wasn't something new to her. She knew that he was looking for any chance to take the cards away from her so that he could capture them. And even though she knew that he couldn't take them away it still made her wonder if he knew any magic that could be done to make him their Master.
Her father didn't come home that night and so Minerva made dinner and took it upstairs so that she and Kero could enjoy it. And then she wrote her friend a letter. She hoped that Alice had some ideas. Her owl took it in its beak and flew out the window.
"So what were you writing to Alice about?" Kero-chan asked.
"Nothing," Minerva said, "I just want to tell her that I captured the Sword Card."
"Okay, but couldn't it of waited until we all got back to Hogwarts?" Kero asked her.
"Nope, girls keep each other informed," Minerva said and she went down to clean up.
"I don't like this," Eli said to his father, "That Minerva wench has some of the cards and won't let me have any of them."
"And are you planning on doing something about it?" his father asked.
"Of course," Eli said.
His father looked at him, "As long as they don't hurt the cards then do whatever you want. But I won't stand by and let you harm the cards if I sense that their in danger."
"Fine," Eli said and he left his father alone.
A/N: Sorry about the short chapter. The next one I'm hoping will be longer. Next up: Yuko's Thoughts
