Chapter 31
I woke up and found myself in infirmary. Lilia who was by my side suddenly held onto me while crying.
"I'm glad that you're awake. You've made me worry so much. You've been unconscious for more than two days."
I looked around and saw Allen, Lenalee, Lavi and even Kanda.
"Where's Tyki?" I asked despite knowing how they'll react to my question.
"They're asking him a few questions. You should just rest. You need it. Would you like something to eat?"
"Where is he?" I stubbornly asked.
"The bastard is in the damn cellar," said Kanda with irritation.
I then tried getting up but was stopped by Lenalee.
"Your wounds haven't fully healed yet."
"And so is his."
"What is your relationship with that Noah, Alyce? Why are you so concerned for him?"
"There is nothing between us. I'm not concerned. I just can't have him dying since I haven't got the truth from him yet."
What a liar I am, although it's true that there is nothing between us. He said so himself.
"He's a damn Noah. They don't die that easily."
"Have you forgotten that I placed seals that only I can remove? He's the same as any human that can die."
"Let him die then," said Kanda.
"No."
I'm getting stubborn lately but it is true that I don't want him to die even if I hate him.
"Why?" asked Allen. "I mean why are you concerned for a Noah?"
I don't really hate him and he ...
"He saved my life."
"What?" said Lenalee and Allen in surprise.
Lavi and Lilia didn't seem surprised since they know why. Lavi just tried to pull an act but I know he really wasn't. Kanda retained his usual expression but I know he was surprised even if it did not show.
"He saved you. Why?" asked Lenalee. "He's a Noah."
"That's what I'm going to find out."
I stubbornly got up from the bed then went down to the cell after changing. I didn't bother to wait for them or get any permission. I just left.
I used my innocence to hide my presence so they didn't exactly see me. I arrived there uninterrupted.

*Tyki's point of view
After Alyce blacked out, I was brought down to the prison cell for interrogation. They tried asking me questions by beating the hell out of me but I didn't feel like answering so they got nothing from me.
They didn't like that I was silent so they continued on with it until I lost consciousness.
My wounds reopened while new ones were added. There were a few bruises and broken bones too. If I was in my black form, I would have healed faster but since I'm not, it will take quite some time. It didn't matter since I can't feel anything anymore.
.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps. The cell was opened then the person who made the sound came in. I was expecting a kick or a hit but a warm hand stroked my hair instead.
"They really treated you cruelly. Sorry about that."
The voice was gentle, kind and concerned. It felt so familiar. It belongs to her.
It can't be though. It must be a dream.
I tried opening my tired eyes and saw a glimpse of her face.
"Sorry about this, Tyki. I'll do something about it."
I reached out and held her hand that felt so real. I can't believe it though.
It feels real but impossible yet there is still a chance.
My hand that held hers directed it to my lips and let it touch.
After that, I let it be distanced by a few centimeters then tried to utter the words I had been keeping to myself for so long.
"Eu te amo."
