Chapter 38

"That can't be true. Those are just your illusions."

"I'm not lying. I knew Alyce from childhood although she kind of forgot me since it has been such a long time. I knew she'd have a reason why that happened. She couldn't have just denied that fact after trying to search you for years."

"Then why didn't she tell me."

"I'm afraid she doesn't trust me as much to tell me that."

"Who is Cordelia?"

"She's your sister, two years older than you. She was taken away when born due to abnormalities. I don't think Alyce was able to see her and old enough to remember.

She might have been someone like you, I'm not really sure since no one has heard from her. She's dead though right now. Alyce said it so herself but I don't get the part where she saw the ghost.

And the part where she said something about Cordelia not wanting Alyce to see her. So give Alyce a chance and let her explain to you. She ran away from home just to look for you."

"I don't know."

"Just talk and listen. There's no harm in that. I'm sure she has a reason enough."

*Lilia's point of view

"You're quite an unlucky brat, Lilia. Allen found out."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I gain control and do as I please."

*Alyce's point of view

Did he really just say that? It must be a lie yet it's the truth. I'm very grateful for that and happy but my worry came back.

"This is bad, Tyki. Since Allen knows now, Cordelia might have taken control."

"What do you mean by that? You never told me about it yet before."

"Cordelia, my sister was born with unusual markings on her face by her right eye. Father didn't like it at all and had her taken away. We thought she was dead but it turns out she lived but died before I met you and Lilia.

She was born with innocence like Allen and when she died, I think that kind of affected her and was able to make her live. Her soul's alive but her corpse is rotting. Due to her innocence, she was able to take possession of people and things.

And when she took possession of Lilia, she wasn't able to leave again. She remained quiet for that time since she couldn't take control. And when we came to the order, she gained control once more.

She hated me and didn't like on how I'm getting lucky. She threatened to kill Lilia if I ever tell Allen. And said that Lilia will die with her unless I find a way so that she can live without possessing other people.

It's only natural to want to live and she's my sister. She's actually dead but I know there's a chance so I didn't try to exorcise her out when I found out. She stayed quiet after what she told me but I think she'll take action right now since she knows."

*Lavi's point of view

Another load of work that will take a week to finish was given to me. I'm not liking this at all anymore. I'm tired and sleepy but I have to do it if I want to gain a month worth of freedom away from paperwork.

Some books fell out. I looked but nobody was there. I picked it up and placed it back. A book fell on me.

"Oh, sorry about that."

"Lilia? What are you doing there?"

"Reading, what does it look like?"

"Why up there?"

"So they won't see me."

"You're a weird girl."

"It's not like you're normal either."

"Normal is just a standard set by people."

"Then I'm fine with what you've called me. I don't really like people."

"Who are you?"

"Cordelia. Nice to meet you, bookman junior."

"It's Lavi."

"But that name won't last long like the others you had, right?"

"How'd you know that?"

"I just do."

"So who are you, Cordelia? Why are you in Lilia's body?"

"I want to and I'm always there. You just didn't know."

"You didn't answer my question."

"Well, how about you? Who is Lavi exactly, bookman junior?"

"Hey, how much do you know? And how'd you find out?"

"I have my ways. Didn't I just tell you that?"

"What ways are they then?"

"I have no obligation to tell you."
