Chapter 6
After I had been assigned as general, I went straight to my room to sleep. Lilia had already been asleep in hers. I closed my eyes to sleep and after awhile I fell asleep.
I opened my eyes and found myself in the streets. Why am I here? As far as I can remember, I was in my new room at the order. It must be a dream.
I continued to walk and then from day, it suddenly turned to night. It was dark just like before. The streets are familiar. It is almost the same as when I met Tyki.
I stopped. Would I meet him here? I don't think I want to go on farther. I thought for awhile but my curiousness made me continue to walk on the same route at the same pace.
How weird? I just realized that it wasn't raining like before and the street lights are brighter than any should be normally. It wasn't the same and yet I was still curious what would happen if I reach the point where I met them.
I continued to walk and saw the same scene where I saw him holding the child. I looked closer. He is not holding her. He was holding something else but I could not see clearly.
I looked on the ground and saw Lilia on the ground unmoving. There were no wounds on her but from what I saw, I knew she is dead.
Had I been gone too long? I should have done the same routine to avoid this. Tears streamed down my face. This is just a dream, right?
"So I had a witness this time. It's a pity that you're such a beautiful lady but I can't let you live. I can't show you mercy. A Noah can't when he has to kill. We were born this way," said Tyki as he walked closer.
I stood frozen when I know I should move.
"I'll make it less painful at least. I'll rip your heart out fast like I did with the others."
This person is not Tyki. He's a different person. Tyki wouldn't kill Lilia. He wouldn't say such words but it is the truth. The Tyki I had known never existed. He was just playing with us to please him.
"How unsual? Are you not scared? Why aren't you moving? Any person would have screamed or ran away when they hear that they'll be killed."
"I'm not afraid. This is just a dream."
"Believe what you will then."
He came closer and then his hand went passed through and held my heart.
"You know I killed your brother almost like this. The only difference is that I made a hole in his heart. Would you like to have it the same or different?"
Images of the scene where Allen was almost killed by Tyki showed.
"Goodbye, Alyce."
I woke up suddenly and wondered what the dream was about. I was sitting up and staring into space and then I remembered. It was just suppose to be a dream yet it felt so real, I actually thought he was going to kill. And yet he is going to kill me since I'm an exorcist while he's a Noah. Tears streamed down my face when I didn't really want to cry.
I have to accept the fact that he's a Noah and he will very much kill us without hesitation.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was 5:47 in the morning. I tried sleeping again but I couldn't so I changed clothes and then walked around the order to try and remember the place. I walked for half an hour until I got lost. Where am I?
I looked around and found myself in a place I haven't been to yet. I continued to walk and bumped into someone. Both of us fell to the ground and then I looked up to the person who apologized to me. It was Allen.
"What are you doing here?"
"I got hungry and tried to find the cafeteria but I ended up getting lost," said Allen.
I laughed and then said, "It is understandable that I'd get lost but you've been here recently and for a year."
"I'm sorry then for getting lost."
"It's fine. At least I finally saw someone. Can you try finding it there then? Where are we by the way?"
"I don't know."
"So how are we going to find the way back?"
"We'll continue walking around?"
"I guess that's the current choice."
We continued to walk for half an hour until we reached the cafeteria. Jerry then cooked us up some breakfast.
"Hey Alyce, where were you? I knocked at your door but you weren't there. I came to give you your uniform. It's finished. It looks nice but I can't believe you didn't tell us even if it was expected that you were going to be a general," said Lenalee.
"You are?" asked Allen.
"Yes."
"So Alyce is a general now?" asked Lavi. "Why didn't you tell us?" he said in a manner that a child would when they don't get what they want.
"I didn't really like the position so I'm not into saying it out loud like an announcement to everyone."
"But it will be announced."
"I'm hating it even more."
"Change into your uniform after eating. I want to see the new general in her uniform," said Lavi.
"No way am I wearing that."
"But you will," Lavi said it in such a way as if he's scheming something that it actually made me worried.
