Hi. I'm still Tobias, this isn't Eliza whose writing this. We haven't found her.
We had searched everywhere around the place that we saw the ship floating in midair.
We had settled down in the forest only for a short break. Little did we know, that our unasked question would soon be answered: Was Rachel and Eliza still alive?
The heartache of losing Rachel was almost too much for me to bear… I've also noticed Ax looking uneasy, as if he missed Eliza.
I bet that Eliza would have prayed to… somebody… that'd Ax would maybe (just maybe) see something in her that he didn't before.
I was the first one to spot it - a moving shadow. A giskori. I instantly realized who it was.
Eliza! I thought-bellowed and flew straight at her.
With in one quick movement, I was pinned against a tree. The giskori's eyes were silver with a tinge of gold in them, the others just stopped talking and just… stared at us.
It was weird in a way.
Why did you try to come get us? We heard Eliza's voice in our heads. Her voice sounded husky when she "said" those words instead of when she normally said them, in her normal voice, when she was human.
Because - Eliza didn't hear the rest of my reply, because then she blew up in my face.
No, not blow up, blow up! I meant when people… or rather a giskori in this case… gets really mad.
All of you left us behind for us to defend for ourselves! I thought that we'd stick together!
Then I "heard" myself ask this next question, even though I wasn't exactly thinking about it: Is Rachel alive, still?
Rachel? …Yeah… she's alive.
That's when I noticed Jake's concerned face, and his him ask, "Why do I smell something burning?"
I could just imagine the color draining from Eliza's rather… muzzled and… black… face.
Oh… that's… nothing…
I knew it was a lie, and I could also "tell" that the others knew it was a lie too. We all knew what was burning.
The flesh -and fur and scales- of our nearly exploded companions. The explosion had caused more damage then we could have imagined.
I felt myself being freed from her grasp and I saw her bolt away deeper within the woods.
