Chapter 45
I got up early and prepared a few things. It's a good thing they let me choose who will come with me.
I don't like bringing anyone I don't know that could be a spy of that inspector. The three finders were the ones I worked with before so I can trust them in a way.
In an hour, we were all gathered and boarded the train. Tim pointed out the direction which we followed.
It seems Cross isn't as far as I thought. He's in a country somehow near.
We were walking in town following Tim. The finders looked for a place to stay at before we parted. And it's a good thing they were away because akuma suddenly appeared wrecking places.
They somehow expected us to be here. They weren't ordinary level ones. There were a lot of level twos and threes as well. I have to hurry up. I can't let them take too much of our time.
The walls were quiet. Silence lingered in the halls. No one was around.
Only a cold wind blowing made a noise. The rest of the place was in silence.
Where is everyone? What's going on? How come no one isn't here?
Where are they?
The girl continued walking in search of anyone in sight as the walls suddenly came crashing down. Shrieks were heard. Cries for help came into a deafening sound.
What's going on? Why is it that way?
Horror filled her face as she saw her comrades beneath the collapsed building. Blood was flowing mad like flood. The scent was drowning. She feels like going crazy any minute seeing them that way.
"It's all your fault."
"Monster!"
"Freak!"
"I hate you!"
"You should just die!"
"Die!"
No! Why is this happening again? And of all people, why them? The people I've finally came to trust.
"No! Stop it! Just stop!"
The other teen by her side woke up and saw her struggling in her sleep.
'She's having a nightmare. I have to wake her up.'
"Cordelia! Cordelia! Wake up! Wake up, Cordie!"
"Stop! Stop! Please stop!"
"Cordelia, wake up!"
"Stop!"
'What should I do? She can't hear me. I have to do something. Alyce even threatened me with words to protect her before leaving. And even without those threats, I should wake her up. It will do her no good.'
He shook the frightened girl and continued calling out to her until she woke up.
"Please wake up, Cordie! Wake up!"
"Stop! I'm not a freak."
"Yeah, you're not one."
She didn't hear him though and continued crying. It took some time before the girl was exhausted and fell back asleep.
'She can't really hear me but it's a good thing that she calmed down after awhile and fell back asleep.'
A knock came the door and came in the younger brother of the girl with a concerned face. He had heard the commotion outside.
"What happened, Lavi?"
"Nothing. Some things just got out of hand."
"Bookman is calling for you. I'll take over."
"Sure. I'll be going then, Allen."
*Allen's point of view
Cordelia's condition is worsening each day. She would have fits every night due to a nightmare. Some say though that the body is rejecting the soul.
I don't want her gone. Even if it had been a short while, she'd been real kind to me just like Alyce.
I want to help her but I can't do anything right now. The only thing we can do is wait for Alyce to arrive back with help.
*Alyce's point of view
Besides the akuma, why do the Noah have to be involved?
Kanda and Miranda are doing fine taking out the level ones and twos. I'm the one facing the level threes than Road who added up. She wasn't able to bring me to her world but she did make it harder for me to finish at one.
"You should just give up, General Wynne," she said playfully. "I might let you live if you return Uncle Tyki to us. The earl has to talk with him about some things."
I merely ignored her and continued fighting. It took an hour before I finished up the level threes. I'm really tired.
Road is still fighting and adding more akuma. It's a good thing I brought Miranda with me so my energy was restored fast.
It took hours before we all finished them except for Road who said maybe she'll be back some time.
"I guess I'll play again some other time. I'll make it more interesting since this day was boring."
I rushed to the inn with the exorcists before Miranda deactivated her innocence. The finders had already called for a doctor who will treat our wounds.
Kanda healed fast after a few days as expected while I was still recovering from a few wounds. I dodged the attacks most of the time and only received a few but that was too tiring.
I didn't let it stop me though and continued searching for Cross. We continued on the journey looking for him with Tim. I used my innocence to avoid being seen by any akuma. I can't let anything stop us from arriving on time.
