Chapter 16

Amelia and Zelgadiss, face to face. Not even one of them believes that they are finally alone. Zel has been waiting for this moment for days, but Amelia is scare, scare of being hurt again, she had suffered the enough, so she did the only thing she could think of. She ran.

"Amelia wait !!" Zelgadiis runs after Amelia and managed to grab her from behind.

"LET ME GO!!!!!" shouted Amelia trying to break free from his grasps.

"NO!!!" Zelgadiis shouted back. "I will not let you go until you promise to listen to what I have to say!"

"Alright, I promise!" Amelia lied.

"I don't trust you! I want you to give me your word of honour that you will listen to me!"

Amelia cursed Zel for being so intelligent to even use her word against her. She has no choice. "Alright………I'll listen to what you have to say."

Zel lets her go, and as promised she did not leave, but she keeps her back against him.

"Amelia," Zel started. "I'm sorry for what I have said that day, you'll probably won't believe it, but I was afraid."

"I think you have been afraid all your life!" said Amelia in a soft voice, but meaning to insult him.

"You're right." Zel replied, in his own soft voice.

This amazed Amelia, she expected him to react back at her insult but not like this.

Zel continued "you always a much easy life than me Amelia, even of all the bad things that has happened to your family you have the joy of having a families love when you grow up. I did not have that when I was born…….."

"What do you mean?"

"I never meet my parents when I was born, for what I know they die when I was about 11 mounts old, Rezo was the only one who has ever take care of me, and you know what he has done to me………so I was afraid that I might not be a good father to Sylvia, but after I got to know her better, all my fear has passed away."

Amelia let out a few sobs. "So……..you only stayed in Seilune because of Sylvia, haven't you?" Amelia wanted to hold her tears but she can not help it. At least this way she knows the true.

Zel looked at her, even if she has her back on him she can tell that by her voice she wanted to cry. "Amelia don't you remember what I said when I returned back to Seilune?"

Amelia blinked "What?"

"You have asked me if I have returned to try to find a cure, but I said that I have returned for something else."

It is true, Amelia has been so stressed that she completely forgotten about that. "Then why did you returned?"

"I've come back for you!"

Amelia blushed. "M-me?"

Zel managed to let out a small soft smile. The same smile that he gave to her when he said that he was going to protect her from Copy Rezo. "You have always been on my side ever since we have met, even if sometimes I try to put you away because I am a very friendless guy but you never stopped to try making me feel better about my self, I started to develop a strong feeling for you, one that I could not understand, one that I was not use to……… but most of all, you saved my life."

This last statement finally made Amelia turn to him, with a confuse look on his face. "I……I saved your life?"

"Yes, thanks to that bracelet you have gave me…….on these last years, ever since I left Seilune, I spend all my time trying to find a cure, I could not sleep or eat because I was so consume on finding a cure that I could not think of anything else, one day I look at your bracelet and I remembered your face, remembering the stuff that you were always saying to me, you were always saying that you liked me just as I am, words that I refused to understand, It finally made me understand of what I feel for you……….thank to the friendship and love you have gave me it made me finally understand that I don't need my cure to be a normal person, all I need it was my friends, and you………if it wasn't for you I might have end up like Rezo."

For the first time in many years Amelia started to fell hope in her heart. "Z-Zelgadiss, are……are you……trying to say………"

"I love you Amelia….. I know that I never show it, but it is the true……I have no regrets about having you and Sylvia, I love you booth. I want to start all over again; I want us to be a real family."

Amelia finally smiled, that smile that Zel and every one else have been missing so much, and with tears in her eyes, but these tears are different, they are tears of joy. "Oh Zelgadiss……" Amelia jumped on Zel and locked her arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss on his lips. Zelgadiss did not hesitate to return back that kiss and wrapping his arms around her.

After 10 minutes of kissing, Zel gently pushed Amelia, and reached for a box in his pocket. "Amelia there is something I wanted to ask you when I returned to Seilune, but I was interrupted when Sylvia show up." Zel showed her a box and open it, inside there is a golden ring. Amelia gasped of amazement and joy. "Amelia, will you marry me?"

"Yes!" said Amelia and she jumped on Zel again and gave him another big kiss, but this time Zelgadiss lost his balance and crashed against the paper wall, passing to the other side, and guess what they have found, they have found Lina, Gourry , Filia, Sylphiel, Martina and Zangulos with their hears pressing against the wall, Amelia and Zel blushed furiously.

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING IN HERE!?!?!?!?" they booth shouted at the same time.

"Well……" started Lina a little embarrassed of being caught. "It was all Gourry's idea!"

"What!!!" shouted Gourry "It was not mine……I mean it is but……but you……….and then………….now I'm really confuse."

"Oh my Gosh, Sylvia" said Amelia remembering her daughter.

"It is true, she is still trapped in here!" said Zel.

"No she isn't……" said Sylphiel and Filia at the same time.

"What?"

"Sylvia is with Xellos and the kids. I made these two lie, so that you and Amelia could work out your differences!" confessed Lina with a smirk on her face. "And my, my, my, Zel, I never though I would hear you say such mushy stuff."

Zel blushed furiously "SHUT UP LINA!!!!!!!!!!"

Amelia looks back to Filia and Sylphiel. "I would have expected Miss Lina to lie, but not you two!"

Filia and Syl had their looks of shame on their faces, but Amelia smiled at them. "But it was for a good cause, I thank you!"

"Yeah……..me too" said Zel, and then formed a fireball. "But still…..."

"You guys tricked us!" finished Amelia forming a fireball of her own.

"Yeah I guess…." Laughed Lina then taps Gourry on the shoulder. "Gourry………I'll leave this to you" and starts running away.

"WHAT??? No way Lina! I'm coming with you!!" said Gourry running after Lina, with the other after them!"

"COME BACK HERE!!!!" screamed Zel and Amelia running after the gang.

"This is a sort of thing I was expecting from you Lina!" said Gourry still running.

"Yeah I know!!!!!!" said Lina still running.

"But why am I running too? I have nothing to do with this!!!" complained Martina still running.

Unknown to any of them that the two mysterious persons and their dog have been watching them the all time.

"Rats!" cursed the mysterious man. "Does this means that I won't be able to kill Rock-face?"

The mysterious woman was in silence for a moment before starting to speak. "Hum………That Zelgadiss guy hasn't convinced me yet, so he need to be putted on the test." Said the mysterious woman, and then turned to the mysterious man. "Looks like you will have some work to do, Air Jay!"

The mysterious man now known as Air Jay smirked evilly. "Thank you babe……I was already planning this scheme. Let me think if it is too cruel……why yes it is, but I'll do it! HA HA HA HA HAHA HA HA HA!!!!"

To be continue………..

Sunny: finally, Amelia and Zel are reunited again.

Alandra: as you may guess we are using Air Jay in this fic. But this isn't the same Air Jay of our group, it is and Air Jay created by us. It may have the same personality of the original, but he has a different story and nature so he could fit on the Slayers story.
