"Hiura! What are you doing here?" Amara's surprised voice rang out and everyone froze, Hiura turned upstairs immediately and saw Amara standing there looking at her with wide eyes, she winced mentally... busted.....
Lily frowned immediately and looked up at Amara, then back to Hiura, she looked on, confused. Amara looked down at the frozen people, alert went off in her head. "Um... did I say something wrong?"
"Amara Zhao! You are such a...." Hiura started tightly and let go of Kai, Amara blinked and walked down towards them.
"What? What did I do?"
"Wait.... you're not Cecilia?" Lily asked slowly, everyone rolled their eyes.
"Duh! Cecilia's not as 'cold' as her!" Amara said immediately, Hiura just took in a deep breath and considered weither she should knock Amara dead or not.
"Then... why did you say you were Cecilia?" Lily said and turned to Hiura, Amara turned to her as well.
"You were... pretending to be Lia again?" She asked surprised, Hiura glarred at her and then pulled down her hair.
"What do you think? You think Kai would let me hold him when I'm not Cecilia? I would have been dead a long time ago!" She said and dropped her bag onto the ground.
Lily smirked and crossed her arms, "I don't know whom this Cecilia is... but if she's anything like all of you, then she's nothing more than a liar. Low." She commented.
Hiura paused and then looked into her eyes, her whold body gave off a dangerous vibe, Lily took a step back unconsciously. "Girl, I don't care who you're the cousin of... say anything else, I'll chop you into pieces and I'm not joking about it."
Lily swallowed nervously and Hiura snorted, then she started to take off the long white dress, "seriously.... how are you guys doing now?"
"Same old, same old." Charlotte said, Kai walked past them and sat on the sofa.
Hiura stripped down the dress, showing her usual clothing, black all lover. The sword hung on her waist, looking dangerous.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in England with the Majestics trying to locate Lia?" Tyson asked and looked at her, leaning back onto the wall.
"I came here, because I was worried that all of you might decide to go crazy." Amara rolled her eyes at that.
"Thanks so much for worrying about us Hiura." She said dryly and went up stairs again. "Oh yeah, do you want to see my baby?"
Hiura looked at her then smirked, "if she is as retarded as you, then no."
Amara sent her a glare immediately, but walked up anyways. Hiura walked over and sat on the sofa as well, runing a hand through her hair, "I'm going to dye it back tomorrow, I don't like this hair."
"Wait! Who are you?" Lily's high-pitched voice cut through the air, Hiura turned to her.
"I'm Hiura, the last member of the Blood and Roses, do you have a problem with me?"
Lily tilted her head and blinked. "How come you look like Cecilia so much?"
"They just look a lot alike, not many people can tell them apart." Ray said and looked at Hiura, he actually thought that she was Cecilia at the first glance, but her eyes gave her away.
"So... you're not Cecilia?"
"No! How many times do I have to say that to you?" Hiura said annoyed.
"Then... why did you come in pretending to be Cecilia?" Lily asked confused, everyone looked towards her curiously as well, yeah, why did she come in here looking like Cecilia?
Hiura paused and then blinked, wondering if she should tell them the truth. "I just wanted to show you that... Kai's already got a fiancee, maybe you should dream about someone else."
Lily flushed again, Kai just looked away bored, the others all sighed, Hiura looked around, dispite their happiness of seeing her again, they're worried as well. "Don't worry, Kazuya's with Robert and the others, he'll go and get Lia out when they locate her."
"You're so confident that they'll locate her? Why?" Naomi asked, does she know what she told Robert?
Hiura looked at her and then shrugged, "I just have a feeling that they'll find her soon, that's why I left there and came here. So... what have you guys been up to?"
Max stretched tiredly and closed his eyes, "nothing much. We have been teaching the kids here how to blade."
"Interesting... I'll join you sometime." She then glanced at Kai. "Too bad Lia isn't here... or else the two teams would be able to teach together."
Kai just grunted and stood up, walking past them quickly, he walked upstairs, Ray gave her a look. Hiura looked at Kai with a smile after he had disappeared from her sight, she looked at Lily, her smile deepened.....
[Japan- Afternoon]
"Robert, it's Seith, how are you doing?" Seith asked as he sat in front of his computer, checking site after site for a cure on Cecilia's poison.
"It's good to hear from you again, I'm fine, is there something wrong?" Robert asked, typing on his computer.
"I need your help on something." Seith then paused and then sighed. "Do you know someone called Cecilia Joseph?"
Robert stopped typing immediately and turned to his phone in surprise, his voice tightened. "Yes, I do know her, why?"
"Robert, I'm in Voltare's mansion right now... and Cecilia's here with me." He said slowly, Robert's eyes brightened, Naomi had been right. "And... the problem is that... Cecilia's sick?"
"She's sick? Did you send for the doctors?"
"No... not that kind of sick... she's sick, meaning she's going to die soon." Robert's eyes widened in shock, he listened on closely. "Voltare... injected a kind of poison into her, she only has two weeks left. That's why I need your help."
"What do you need?"
"I need you to get her out of here, as soon as possible."
"Of course... we will do that." Robert said, and turned off his computer, finally, they found Cecilia.
"Thank you."
[Europe]
Robert hung up the phone and starred at it for a few seconds before turning around and smiled, everyone looked up at him confused. "Robert... all the searching must be getting to your head." Enrique noted calmly.
"Guess who just called?"
"Who?" Johnny asked lazily.
"Seith.... Seith Hiwatari." Robert said excitedly.
"So?" Oliver asked boredly.
"Cecilia is Voltare's mansion right now."
Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and looked up at him surprised, "are you sure?"
"Positive."
Kazuya stood up and nodded, "when do you want me to go?"
Robert looked up at him and then smiled, "now."
[Japan- Night]
Kazuya landed on her balcony, expecting to be stepping into snow, but landed on a glass case instead, he blinked at it but didn't say anything. Then slowly and quietly, he opened the French door leading into Cecilia's room. Voltare needs better security.
Stepping into the room quietly, he looked around, adjusting to the darkness in the room, then noticed the small figure on the huge bed, he walked over and leaned over Cecilia.
Cecilia shfited a bit when she felt something patting at her cheek, with a sigh, she slowly opened up her eyes and looked into deep blue eyes. She frowned, can't see anything else beside the pair of eyes.
"Who...."
"Lia, it's me." Kazuya said softly.
Cecilia's eyes widened immediately as she reached over and turned on the low light, giving the room a warm glow, but dimly. She turned back and saw Kazuya standing there, she looked at them relieved and then smiled.
"Long time no see Kazuya... how have you been?" She said with a laid back tone, but not hiding the happiness in her eyes.
"I'm fine... now, let's get you out of here before anyone notices."
Cecilia flung her sheets aside and Kazuya went over to the closet to grab something for her to wear, Cecilia touched her feet onto the cold floor and tried to stand up, she wobbled a bit, Kazuya caught her quickly.
"Lia... are you okay?" He asked worriedly, Cecilia looked up at him smiled.
"Kazuya... can you wait for me for a second?" Kazuya nodded, she smiled and slowly walked over to the case of snow, Kazuya followed her.
Bending down, she opened up the case and reached her right hand inside, like Seith said, it's freezing cold. Slowly, she wrote something on the snow, and then closed the case, she then stood up and turned to look at the room.
"Kazuya... do you see that huge paper ballon above my bed?" She said softly and pointed up, Kazuya followed her finger and nodded. "Do you mind slicing it open for me?"
Kazuya smiled and with one flip, the ballon was sliced open, and he's standing beside her again. The paper ballon opened up, blue hyacinth fell out from it. The blue hyacinth flew down onto her bed and she looked at it with a smile, after a minute, she turned to Kazuya and nodded.
Kazuya smiled back and picked her up easily, she's like a feather and so small... he frowned at that realization, but didn't say anything else. Just like that, they disappeared into the darkenss, the blue hyacinth is still falling onto her bed......
[Next Morning]
"Cecilia, I just contacted Robert yesterday, and he...." Seith stopped short when he found no one in the room, the curtain is flying with the wind, he blinked, a bad feeling coming over him.
He looked towards her bed, she's not there anymore... the only thing remained is the blue hyacinth, covering the whole bed. Slowly, he walked into the room, he figured the flowers softly and picked up one of her pillows, it's still tainted with her scent. With a sigh, he put it down, and looked towards the balcony.
He walked to the glass case and front it's clear sides, he saw two words:
Thank you.....
He starred it numbly, unable to move.
Cecilia... she had left........
