Chapter 3-Crystal Glass
Sakura and Anomalous came to room #217.
Oh... Anomalous split, and half floated to her earthsuit. After so many years of waiting, His perfect timing has arrived! Sakura watched quietly. This was Anomalous' time.
Anomalous slipped into the lifeless body. It began to morph, the bones strengthening, the face warming as blood flowed into it. The pale skin regained a normal flesh tone.
The body that was shutting down changed it's mind. It was coming back! The muscle in the arms and legs started rapidly growing, changing the useless dead limbs into ones that would work as soon as the girl figured out how.
Slowly, the girl stirred, for the first time. Her eyelids opened, revealing ice blue eyes, that had Anomalous' sparkle in them. She sat up, and willed herself to float. *Oops! I forgot, I can't do that anymore.*
Anomalous laughed. No, but I can. A shame you're retaining faith for God. I would have enjoyed sharing this body. Crystal winced. *An earthsuit is meant for one soul.* Crystal relaxed and smiled. *What you really want is to be able to boss Eli around with the whole human you!* Now Anomalous winced.
Crystal turned to Sakura. She slowly spoke her first words. "T-th-tha- thank you!" Sakura hugged her friend, surprised she wasn't being sarcastic. Maybe she just didn't have speech down.
But Anomalous was still there. It's her first time in a human body. She didn't have childhood, although her prolonged soul state will help her quickly. And I'm the one that's sarcastic, not her. I had to protect her, you know. She'd been dreaming of me for years: a sister. Eli just helped her. Sakura smiled. "Thank you, Anomalous."
The Cardcaptor turned to Crystal. "Can you walk?" Crystal struggled to get out of bed.
She stood by herself a moment, smiled idiotically as all babies do, then collapsed. Sakura sighed. "I guess you really are coming from ground zero."
Even though Crystal had strengthened her earthsuit immensely by returning to it, it was still extremely light for it's age. Sakura blushed. "I'm going to carry you on my back, out the door. I can't think of another way." The girl nodded solemnly Crystal's eyes seemed innocently young, yet wisely ancient. Sakura's back tingled, at the thought that this girl had never been a child.
