"Oh my! A mysterious young man with three eyes? Who else is with him? Will Lieza reveal herself? Are these strangers looking for Lieza in order to give her to Harmonia? What is Grenseal thinking? All these questions and more for Chapter Seven: The Big Secret." Elle comments.
"We are hiding no one, Triclopse." One of the villagers stated.
"Don't lie to me… you won't like me when I am angry…" The Triclopse called back.
"We swear we don't know what you are talking about! Alen is missing from the village, has been for a few days now. We don't know where he went. This girl came by the day after he left, Eri claimed she was her daughter that disappeared years and years ago." Another villager answered.
Oh Great…What do I do now…I'm exposed… somewhat…what should I do… Lieza thought to herself…
"Take me to her…" The Triclopse said quietly.
Crap! Crap crap crap crap crap crap! Come on think quickly…come on…. Lieza looked around and tried to blend into the crowd and sneak away.
"Right this way…" One of the villagers led the man to Eri's home.
I know its only been a day or two… but I wonder if Mr. Kima has SOMETHING done for me... Lieza questioned to herself. She quickly but stealthily snuck to Mr. Kima's workshop.
Please be open... please be open… I need to get out of here… she thought to herself. As she approached the door and turned the knob, Mr. Kima was standing there sweeping up the hard wood floor. "Mr. Kima! Do you have anything ready for me yet?" She questioned nervously.
"Eh? Lieza? I have those clothes YOU wanted. The ones your mother asked for aren't done yet." He responded.
"Perfect! Can I pay you for the two sets for me and take them today?"
"That wouldn't be a problem, young Lieza."
So Lieza handed Kima a pouch of gold from her side and waiting for him to return with the outfits. He promptly did so and Lieza kindly took one and stepped into the dressing room. Quickly she undressed and looked at herself in the mirror again.
"I just can't believe this is me… I've changed so much… Not much I can worry about… I'll just have to deal with it for now." she said quietly before starting to dress in her new clothes. After a few moments she steps out fully dressed. She wore new light brown colored heel boots that came up to about her knee. Above that was a deep forest green skirt with light green around the edges. The skirt ended right above her knee. As a top she wore a very light purple almost see through shirt with a deep purplish blue top that covered over where the see through was on her midsection. A golden necklace was around her neck. As well as a long crimson red cape with a strange symbol on her back.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Kima. I must be going." Lieza said as she started for the door. Outside the shop she heard her mother getting closer talking to the stranger. "Oh crap… Mr. Kima is there a backdoor?"
"Yes there is… but why?" he states.
"That's all I need to know." She commented quickly running to the back of the store and out of the door. Her mother and the stranger stepped into the shop and look about.
"Kima, was my daughter here?" Eri asked.
"She was… but she just left." He replied.
"Where did she go?" She asked again
"Not sure really. She took some of the clothes I made and went out the back."
"Drat… I need to find her… Mr. Kyrex here needs to see her." Eri explained.
"I'm sure you could still follow her." Kima responded.
"Will do." She nodded before leaving through the back entrance with Kyrex.
Where do I go… where do I go… Lieza thought to herself as she runs through the back alleys. She finds a small enclave to hide at to think.
Ok, I am having problems here, how do I get out of the city without them seeing me. I could climb the rooftops. No I don't think that wouldn't work. With this body I don't know if I'd make the jumps. Oh I don't know… huh? What was that? Footsteps? They caught up to me? Ugh! Quickly Lieza darted from her position and examined the area around her. Nothing. This was good for her. She bolted toward the path she did not follow. Hoping that they would not be there.
