Eli: Hello! Back again. Yes, the song is from Mulan. Shinara, no one is too
old for Disney! I think I'll pass the choclate covered ian's, but if you
have any gummy Gabriels..... Cindy, I'll try. I suck at spelling, and me
have no spell check. Darkness, you didn't know me when I was six, and yes,
that is how I acted. Ask me Uncle Kenny. Anyway, here's the next chapter.
Enjoy!
Eli was about to start another song when she saw someone standing by the door. When Ian tried to put her back on the ground, she wouldn't let go. She shook her head, but continued to stare at the person by the door.
"What are you doing here?" Ian asked him.
"Uh, Mr. Nottingham, you ordered a sword a while back and it just came in." Gabriel stated slowly. "Is this not a good time or...."
"Now will be fine." He answered. He unlocked the front door and they stepped into the house. Gabriel stared at the little one on his back. Crazy assassin dude with a kid? It was way too surreal.
"Eli, I need to put you down now." He told her. She was very hesitant to do so, but she eventually crawled down from his back. He turned to Gabriel and motioned for him to follow.
He led them into a huge office room. Eli wouldn't leave Ian's side. Ian could not figure out why she was so uncomfortable. But he did notice that she wasn't going anywhere near Gabriel. He figured he should get this over with as soon as possible.
Eli stood at the edge of the desk. She kept her head down, sneaking glances at Gabriel when she didn't think he was looking. He noticed and smirked. He waited for her to look up at him again. When she did, he made a face at her. She giggled slightly and put her head down again.
When she lifted her head again, he did the same thing, and this time was able to get a smile out of her along with another giggle. He walked over to her and kneeled down to her level.
"I'm Gabriel, what's your name?" Eli bite her lip and looked over at Ian. He nodded at her and she looked back at Gabriel.
"Eli." She said quietly.
"How old are you?" He asked her.
"Six." She answered. She noticed his key chain sticking out of his pocket and smiled. "Gangar."
He looked at her confused. "What?"
She pointed to the key chain. "Gangar."
He looked down and laughed. "Oh yeah, I forgot about him. You like pokemon?"
She nodded her head. "Uh huh."
"Whose your favorite?"
"Pikachu. I have one. Wanna see?" She asked.
"Sure." Eli went over and pulled on Ian's arm. He shook his head.
"I need to do this first." She pouted and he sighed. "Go down the hall, turn right, your room is the second to the left."
"Thank-you." She said, smiling. She walked out of the room.
Gabriel stood up. "She's adorable." Ian nodded. "Is she your kid?"
Ian looked over at him, clearly shocked. Gabriel didn't know weather to run out the door or fall to the ground laughing. "No, she is not. Why would you ask such a thing?"
"Well, she kinda looks like you, the clothing and all, and..... It just seemed like she was." He stammered out. Ian just shook his head and passed Gabriel the check.
"This was the price, correct?"
"Yeah, yeah." He said as he shoved the check into his pocket. Eli came bouncing back in with her pikachu doll.
"This is pikachu." She announced proudly. Gabriel smiled and nodded.
"He looks very cute. What level is he?"
"Fifty-five."
"Ah, your a master." He told her. She giggled again. He looked at his watch. "Alright, I have to go. See ya, Eli." He said as he began to leave. He nodded at Ian and then walked out the door. Eli watched the door well after he was gone.
"Eli?" Ian called after her. She didn't reply. "Eli."
She turned her head. "Yes?"
"What is wrong with you?" He asked. She shook her head.
"Nothing." She answered.
"Are you sure?" He knew he wasn't. Her cheeks were tinted red. She shook her head again.
"Uh huh."
