Chapter 15

Normally Amelia would be enjoying the festival with her friends instead of greeting her uncle Christopher, but all of this was just a justification to stay away from Zel. She let Sylvia stay with her father because Amelia believes that her daughter deserves a quality time with Zel, Sylvia never meet her father since the day she was born and Amelia can see that Zelgadiss really cares for his daughter, he saved Sylvia when she was about to get bitten by that little dog. Still this is so sad……here they are the three of them, together but not knowing the true about each other. She only wanted to make peaces with Zelgadiss so that they all could live happily ever after but the events of that night keeps haunting Amelia making her fright to be with Zel.

"Amelia!!!" called a very frightened Sylphiel. "It is horrible, it is horrible!"

Amelia was starting to feel worry about her friend's reaction "Miss Sylphiel, what wrong?"

"It's Sylvia!" said Sylphiel in a scared tone of voice.

Now Amelia is getting frightened, what's wrong with her daughter? "What is wrong with Sylvia?"

"In the Haunted house ride! She is stuck in there!" Did they have those kind of rides back then?

"Oh my Gosh!" Amelia wasted no time and started to run in direction of the haunted house, she did not even bother to warn her father about what happened to Sylvia.

As for Sylphiel, she remained where she was. She felt so ashamed of her self "I can not believe I lied."

------

As for Zel he was resting on the table drinking his tea, and Sylvia was playing with the kids. He believed that in this festival he would make up with Amelia so that for once in his sore life he could find harmony. But once again destiny is against him and Prince Phill is making it worst, he is taking Amelia away from him and now he is trying to take his daughter away, but Zel is thankful that Amelia has let Sylvia stay with him.

Zel's thoughts were broken up when he heard Filia. "Zel!!! Help!!!"

Zel is questioning Filia's attitude "What is wrong?"

"This is horrible Zel! Sylvia is stuck in the haunted house ride!!"

"What!?!?" Zel dropped his tea and immediately ran to the haunted house, not even waiting to ask Filia how she got trapped in there.

Like Sylphiel, Filia felt ashamed about lying. "The shame! I fell so ashamed."

--------

The Slayers watched in secret how Amelia and Zel entered inside the haunted house one by one, Lina chuckled, the plan is working perfectly. "Magnificent!"

"What is going on here?" asked Martina, because Lina did not explain to her the entire plan.

"Are we playing spy games here?" asked Zangulos.

Just then Filia and Sylphiel rejoined the gang.

Lina turn to them and saw the faces of guilt on their faces. "Hey, what is wrong, girls?"

"You force us to lie!!!!!!!" wined Filia and Sylphiel at the same time.

Lina sweat dropped. "Come on, don't make such a fuss! It was not even for me, it was for Amelia and Zel."

Filia sighed "Ever since I meet you Lina I have done the most disturbing things."

"You get used to it." Gourry said, and he was rewarded with a punch from Lina.

"I still don't understand why I and Filia had to tell this lies." Said Sylphile who was so bothered about lying that she did not noticed that Lina hit Gourry.

"Because if it was me or Gourry going saying that Sylvia was in trouble Amelia and Zel would not believe us, so I figure that if it was you two that said that, they would rush right over."

"Well I guess………but I feel so bad."

"What is going on here?" asked Martina again.

"But I don't get it Lina, why in the haunted house? Why did you made Amelia and Zel get in there?" asked Filia.

"Because it is perfect! Nobody likes going inside the haunting houses. So nobody will disturb Amelia and Zel while they are talking. And I chose this moment because Phill is talking to his brother so he will not interfere with our lovable couple getting along."

"Man…….." said Gourry in an amazed tone of voice. "My idea was all that? I amaze even my self."

"But how can you be sure that Amelia and Zel will get along this time, Lina?" asked Filia.

"I feel it in my bones!" said Lina.

"But what the heck is going on?!?!?" asked Martina again because she does not know what happen here since Zelgadiss came back. Once again every one ignored her.

"But say……where is Sylvia anyway? And where are the kids?" asked Sylphiel.

"Sylvia is with Maia, Val and Zoanna." Said Lina "I didn't want Sylvia around while her parents are trying to get along. I guess Zel doesn't want Sylvia to find out that he is her father while he and Amelia are still angry with each other."

"I believe you are right."

"But who is taking care of the kids?" asked Gourry.

Lina giggled "I ask Xellos to take care of them."

"Ouch……the poor guy……"

-------

"GET BACK HERE!!!! YOU LITLE MONSTERS!!!" shouted Xellos felling very irritated because the kids are running away from him, forcing him chasing them.

"No Way!" yelled all four kids very playfully. They just love to torment Xellos.

Xellos jumped to the air and landed right in front of the kids. "Gotcha!"

All the kids shrieked playfully, except for Sylvia.

PACH

She slapped Xellos on the face "Bad Mazoku!"

"You go girl!" cheered Val.

"Xellos-san is so weird." Commented little Zoanna.

"Let's get out of here!" Maia said. And all four kids ran inside a store, a costume store.

"Why must I always have to baby-site these brats?" asked Xellos mostly to himself while he rubbed his face where Sylvia had slapped him, again. "One thing is for sure, I am never going to have any kids of my own!"

Xellos enters the store but he could not find the kids, the store is very big full of rooms that had many types of costumes. "Where are those little beasts?"

"Excuse me sir, can I help you?" asked the storekeeper politely.

"Have you seen four kids coming here?"

"Why yes sir. They entered into the section 23!"

Xellos wasted no time and ran to section 23. He found it and entered the room ready to give some well deserved punishment to the kids, but when he entered he stop, paralysed with fear. He could not believe who was in front of him, a man with a dark cape surrounding his body but with a long dark hair that on the top has a very strange punk structure, Xellos has no dough, it is the same human who turn him into a golden dragon. "AAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Xellos lands on the ground because of the fear "Please spare me!!!" Xellos cover his face, and shaking like a leaf. "SOMBODY HELP ME!!!"

Suddenly he starts to hear giggles, giggles of children, Xellos took the courage to look up and saw that this is not the same human who cursed him. The long punk hair is nothing but a wig, and the long dark cape was hiding Zoanna who was on top of Sylvia, who was on top of Maia, who was on top of Val. "Gotcha !" said all the four kids, laughing at Xellos.

"You little brats!!!" Xellos was about to catch the kids when they all jumped on top of him, and started to run away again. "STOP RIGH THERE!!!" Xellos grabbed three big hats that were near him and throws them to the kids, but it only caught one of them, Sylvia.

"Now I got you, you little…..Huh?" Xellos grabbed the hat which he believed Sylvia was under, but there was no one there, empty. He grabbed the second one and the result was the same.

Xellos was about to grab the last hat, when Maia interfered. "No, no, no! She is not under there!"

Xellos looked at Maia , annoyed. "What are you, stupid like your father? Sylvia has got to be under this last hat."

Maia punched Xellos right on the nose. "MY DADDY IS NOT STUPID! And no she is not!"

Xello rubbed his almost broken nose. "She is!"

"She is not!"

"Is!"

"Is not!"

"IS!"

"IS!!!"

"IS Not!!!!!!"

"IS!!"

"NOT!!!!!!"

"IS!!!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!"

"Alright, you clown, want to make a bet?"

"Why not! How much do you have?"

Maia took out three gold coins. "This is all I have."

"HA!" mocked Xellos "I bet this bag with 30 gold coins!"

Xellos and Maia putted their coins on the ground for the bet, and Xellos grabbed the remaining hat, and, Surprise, surprise, surprise, Sylvia was under the hat.

"WHAT!?!?!?"

"See I was under here Uncle Xellos!" said Sylvia and then slapped Xellos on the face again. "Bad Mazoku!"

"But…….but……but……" that is all that Xellos could say.

Maia already grabbed the money he won. "Thanks for the money Uncle Xellos! My Mommy is going to be so proud of me." And then he ran of with Sylvia to meet with Zoanna and Val.

Xellos was left alone while the kids were running again, and he started to cry. "BUAAAAAA!!! How did this happen to me? Gourry is the Dumb Blonde of the group! I am the Trickster Priest! I am the one who does the tricks!! What did I do to deserve this?"

Does he really want us to answer that?

-------

Zelgadiss is still inside the haunted house, and he haven't found any trace of his daughter, he starts to get worry, what if Sylvia was hurt, or even lost? Zelgadiss shakes his head to try to remove those thoughts from his mind and continues looking for his little girl.

Amelia is doing the same, the haunted house was full of creepy scary dummies but that did not bother Amelia, she only wants to find her daughter. "Sylvia , where are you?"

Amelia was cut on her track when she crashed against the one person she did not expect to see. "Zelgadiss?

"Amelia?"

To be continued………

Alandra: and now Amelia and Zelgadiss are alone, face to face.
