Lloyd: So what are you having me do now -sighs-
Me: umm…I don't know…yet…
Lloyd: -_-

Emil: Are you on a sugar rush?
Me: -shifty eyes- maybe…

Me: Q-Q but you have to stay for the story!
Emil: …I'll stay…Marta is cooking anyways –shudders-
Me: ^ - ^ Yay! Now onto the story!
Chapter 7:
Light's pov.
I've been here a month already and no sign of Emil and the little group. The villagers stay away from me calling me a monster. This has to do with me coming back to life most likely. The young girl I helped is named Nori. She has a lot of talent in magical artes but tends to not show it. We've been spending time together this past month and she looks up to me like a big sister. I looked up from my thoughts when I heard voices at the entrance of town. I began to walk over there. I froze when I spotted a familiar blonde haired boy.
"E-Emil?" I gasped.
Emil looked toward the sound of my voice in surprise.
"Light...," he murmured.
Marta looked over at me and turned her head in disgust. I frowned. Emil looked down sadly. I think he knows who I am now. The boy they were talking to said something about the abandoned ranch and ran off. My eyes widened and I began to run after him. Before I got too far Emil grabbed my arm.
"Light…why didn't you tell me you were…," he paused frowning. "Lloyd's sister…"
My hair covered my eyes as I thought about it.
"Because…I thought you would have hated me…," I replied softly.
I was let go immediately. Emil had gone into Ratatosk mode and was glaring at me.
"I wouldn't have hated you! I would've been angry yes but Lloyd was the one who killed my parents not you! I don't get how you can protect him after all that has happened!" He shouted.
I shrunk away but straightened up again just as angry as he was.
"How do you know it was Lloyd? What if it was an imposter! A sister should always be there for her brother! I care about him and I don't think he did what you said he did! It's true he is collecting the cores but that doesn't mean he is doing it to be evil or mean! He must have a reason!" I shouted back.
Emil clenched his fists and glared at me. I didn't want to talk to him at the moment so I turned on my heel and raced after the boy.
"Hey get back here!" I could hear Emil shouting to me.
I continued to run away not looking back. Finally I couldn't hear Emil anymore so I slowed down. I felt like crying so I slumped down to my knees tearing up. The bushes rustled and I was enveloped in a big hug. I smiled softly.
"Hi Nori. Sorry I got caught up doing something…," I told the small child hugging me.
"It's okay Miss Light!" She let go and ran in front of me smiling.
I sighed and patted her on the head. She was so sweet and kind. She gave me a questioning look as I stood up.
"I need to go somewhere were you can't go…please go to the school and wait for me okay?" I asked kindly.
She nodded and ran back to town. I waited till she was gone before making my way into the human ranch. My blood ran cold as my feet hit the solid metal ground. Monsters were everywhere, but that wasn't what terrified me. Memories began to flash in front of my eyes. I covered my eyes and fell to the ground crying. I could hear my own voice crying out in pain from the torture.
'Make it stop! It hurts! Please! No more!'
I covered my ears more trying to block out the sound, the horrible sound. I was crying so hard.
"Just make it go away!" I screamed curling up on the floor in a puddle of my tears.
I didn't want to relive it. Why…why did I come back here alone? I was so mad at Emil that I didn't want to admit I was weak. I wish my brother was here. I don't know how long I lay there. I just laid there curled up crying. I couldn't move. I didn't want to move. I didn't want the pain to come back. I heard footsteps echoing in the hall. My name was called. Emil? No he is probably still mad at me.
"Light! Light are alright?!" Yes that's Emil's voice.
"It seems she had a mental breakdown…she should be fine soon…," and that was Tenebrae.
I heard Marta groan. Emil knelt down next to me. I was still crying as I looked at him.
"E-Emil…I'm so sorry!" I cried hugging him.
He blinked shocked for a minute and returned the hug. I could have sworn his eyes turned red but they were green again before I could really tell. Tenebrae watched silently. He was thinking something but I couldn't tell what.
Jealous Much?
Marta: Grr…I hate Light... -seething-
Tenebrae: Really? I kind of like her… -sighs- And Emil seems to like her too…
Marta: -glares- That's the point! She's stealing my Emil! -shocked- I-I mean…never mind…
Tenebrae: …Are you jealous of Light being so close to Emil?
Marta: -taken back- N-no! Why would you think that!...arrr! Leave me alone! -walks off-
Jealous Much?
Emil ended up carrying me. He wouldn't take no for an answer. I sighed but rested my head on his back. My face was a soft pink. Don't get me wrong! We are just friends! Oh who am I kidding…I adore Ratatosk-mode Emil, but he isn't Ratatosk mode at the moment. We reached this big room with all these machines. Emil frowned when Marta told him he had to put me down.
"I'll be alright Emil…as long as I have my friends with me…I…shouldn't have a meltdown again…," I frowned thinking about it.
Emil sighed and set me down but he would look over at me as if seeing if I was alright. I smiled softly at him shaking lightly.
"I-I'm alright...," I murmured.
He shook his head and looked at Marta who had calmed down a little. She keeps sending glares my way. I wonder why?
"Tenebrae…does Marta hate me?" I whispered to Tenebrae who had floated next to me.
"Lady Marta is bit upset about who you are but I think you'll be okay…," Tenebrae answered.
"I see…," I stated.
Emil and Marta looked at me confused. I laughed nervously and held up my hands.
"It's nothing!"
They shrugged and we continued on our way. Every now and then I would jump when I thought I heard the sounds of the tools on or people screaming. Emil was keeping a good eye on me because every time I thought I heard something Emil would grab my hand gently and wouldn't let go until I was okay again.
"This is the back of it…," I stated looking at the closed door. "I hope Paul is okay…"
The door slid open and we walked inside. There in the back was Paul. We quickly made our way over to him.
"Paul are you okay!?" I asked kneeling down.
Paul groaned and looked up at me. His eyes widened but he remained silent.
Emil was suddenly grabbed by this plant monster. It was the room itself! Marta and I gasped.
"Emil!"
There was a flash. Next thing I knew teacher was standing in front of us.
"Rain!" I cried in surprise.
She looked over at me also surprised.
"Light? Is that you?"
Me: -breaths sigh of relief- all done…
Emil: There was a fluffy moment in there… o-o
Me: Yup! Hey relationships are going to have to start forming sometime!
Richter: …
Me: OoO When did YOU get here?!
Richter: hmph…
Me: Grr…your so rude!
Emil: D': H-hey! Be nice now!
Me: Well since you're here Richter…YOU SAY THE MAGIC WORDS!
Richter: Fine! Please review…
Emil and Me: BaiBai!
