Chapter 4

The first rays of morning hit Amelia's face, making her awake, she had a very awful night, she has been crying all night but she managed to sleep just by a miracle, when she got up she noticed a certain object in her hand. Amelia recognised it the object, it was the bracelet that she has given to Zel, a long time ago.

"He is gone……….he left me again" sobbed Amelia.

Amelia had hoped that it was all just a awful dream, but the bracelet in her hand just proved to her that is was not.

When Amelia saw him yesterday she was in shock, she was divided about going to him to hug him and welcoming him back or to kiss him, in the end she decided to do absolutely nothing.

And she certainly did not expect that reaction of him when he found out that he has a daughter. He had made entirely clear that he doesn't want anything with her and Sylvia.

Amelia had hoped that the pain in her heart would finally be gone with Zelgadiss arrival. But no. Looks like Amelia was born just to experience pain, her mother was killed by a horrible bandit, after that her sister ran away, and her uncle Randy and her cousin Alfered betray her by trying to kill her father, and now………Zelgadiss. She might always sound like a very happy girl but she can also feel pain, she has been caring all this sorrow inside of her for a very long time.

But she must go on…………she has been doing fine without him all this time, so she must go on for Sylvia's sake. And one thing is for sure, she has no request about having Sylvia, she gives Amelia the joy that she has forgotten in a very long time.

But Amelia hates injustice…………she hates it a lot. "Well………I better go eat breakfast, or Miss Lina, Mr Gourry and their son will eat every thing, again."

------

When Amelia arrived to the dining room, Lina and Gourry where already in their same old food fight and little Maia was happily eating 51 pancakes of his own. this kid's got a big appetite, I wonder where he gets it from.

"Good morning Mommy!" greeted little Sylvia.

"Good morning sweetheart." Amelia greeted back but she blinked in disbelief when she saw who was sitting near Sylvia, drinking tea. Zelgadiss. He didn't left.

"Good morning, Amelia" greeted Zel, with a weak smile, acting like if nothing happen last night.

But Amelia didn't say anything to him, she just bowed her head and sited in her seat, eating her breakfast.

Zel was stunned by Amelia's reaction, she normally would be all cheerful in the morning. Looks like she is still mad had him. But why? He didn't left like he said he would. He had hoped that this way she could understand that he cared for her and Sylvia.

"HEY GOURRY, THAT WAS MY COOKIE!!!!" Shouted Lina.

"But you have eaten mine!" replied Gourry.

"Aunt Lina, how can you and uncle Gourry eat so much?" asked Sylvia.

"Well girl, I don't know about Gourry, but I was been bless with multiple stomachs" joked Lina.

"Really, are you a cow, Aunt Lina?"

"WHAT!?!?" yelled Lina angrily.

Sylvia jumps out the chair and hides behind Zelgadiss. Zel could not help but to smile in a fatherly smile when her daughter did this.

"Aunt Lina is so scary, Rocky."

"I've already told you Sylvia, call me Zel!" said Zelgadiss

"I like Rocky better!"

"But it is Zel!"

"RockyRockyRocky"

Zel was about to reply when he noticed Lina and Gourry, laughing.

"What are you two buffoons laughing about!?!?!?" demanded a very angry Zel.

"Sorry……...Rocky!" laughed Gourry, who is holding a hysterical Lina.

"Rocky…….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. That is so rich!!!!" laughed Lina.

Maia was still eating, that is why he's not been laughing.

"Oh Rocky, your so funny!" said Sylvia.

Every one continued to laugh at Zel, except for Amelia, who was still eating quietly, ignoring the scene that it is happening right in front of her.

15 minutes later, every one finished their meal.

"Man the meal was so good" said Lina happily tapping her belly, she then she got up and looked at Gourry. "Ok Gourry, go get your sword so that we can go kill some bandits."

"Ok!" said Gourry as he walked back to the room that he and Lina shared.

"Already going Bandit hunting?" asked Zel.

"Yup, I've heard just yesterday that there is a bandit camp near the frontiers of Seilune. They probably got some treasures with them" Lina giggled at this last remark.

"Can I go too, mommy?" asked Maia.

"Sorry sweetie, this time you can not go and watch mommy and daddy kill some bandits today. You are going to stay here and play with Sylvia. Ok?"

"Oh damn!" said Maia, very sadly, he always like to see his parents beat out some bandits.

"But I tell you what. As soon as you finally perfected your first FIREBALL, you can go kill bandits with daddy and me."

"Really?" asked Maia very hopefully "Hurray! I'm will soon kill my first bandit!"

Zel sweat dropped. Lina is starting to be a bad influence to her son.

"I'm done, excuse me." Said Amelia very civilly as she got out of the table and leaved the room.

"Amelia, wait!" called Zel, but Amelia didn't listen, as an alternative she continues to walk away. So Zel ran after her.

"Why is mommy so sad aunt Lina?" asked Sylvia.

"I don't know girl, I don't know." Lina would also like to know what happened last night, she'd hoped that Zel and Amelia would finally be together after all these years.

-------

"Amelia, wait!!!!" called out Zel, reaching for Amelia, but she just keeps walking, ignoring Zel. Finally he reached her. "Amelia what's wrong with you?"

Amelia turns to face him. "Why are you here? I thought that you decided to leave!"

"Well………lets just say, that I saw the light."

"You expect to convince me like that?" Amelia snapped.

"Amelia, Why are you still so angry? I didn't left"

"That is beside the point!"

"Then what is the point?"

"Just leave me alone!!" in this last one, Amelia ran down the hall with tears in her eyes.

"Amelia…." Zel only watched Amelia run away down the hall, which is the only thing he could do right now. What it is wrong with her, why is she acting like this? She is being so distance, but why? "Why must my life be so complicated?"

To be continue………

Sunny: Amelia is still upset, what's up with that?
