They all stared at Gon.
"Looks like Gon forgived her and wants to help now"
Elizabeth gave a small smile. She closed her eyes slowly.
"Fine. I'll tell you who Bryan really is", said Elizabeth. "Bryan... Was a good friend. Sometimes you just can't predict what he'll do", she said giving a small smile again.
"When I was 6, I ran away from home. My parents usually don't care where I go. As long as I return by 10. If even one second pass, I'll get beaten. Bryan was the first person to find me. I was hiding in a cave near a forest. He gave his hand and got me out from there".
"We were friends for six years till that incident that Gon saw", she said.
"What happened then?" Killua asked. He somehow got attracted to the story.
"We were playing together with another friend. We used his disk to play catch. Suddenly the toy fell into some bushes. He blamed me for making it dirty. So he yelled at me. Bryan tried to help me by saying that I'm innocent", she continued.
"What an idiotic friend you had", said Killua.
"You can never last a day with him", Elizabeth said while facing the other way.
"Then what happened next?" Killua asked.
Elizabeth faced the two boys and continued her story. "The idiot boy chased Bryan to the dangerous abyss nearby. He pushed Bryan down and died. I couldn't stand the feeling of anger and pushed him down as well".
Killua looked down. Feeling pitiful to her.
"No need to have feelings for me. I'm born to kill ever since then", she interrupted.
"So, he was your good friend?" Killua asked.
She only nodded. Gon saw in her eyes that she can't forget that memory. Forever!
"Elizabeth! What do I have to do to help you to rest in peace again?" Gon asked. "It's not like I'm chasing you away but, I wanna help you. It's hard to say it..."
"Fine. But if you want to help me, you'll end up in danger. Would you pay the price?" Elizabeth asked while crossing her arms.
Gon nodded. Killua joined him. Suddenly Killua felt like helping her too.
"Well, I'm not responsible for your safety", she said.
"We can take care of ourselves. All we want is help you", Killua said, while standing up from his seat.
Gon turned to Killua. "You'll help too, Killua? Yes. Then I'm not alone"
"State it and we'll help", Gon said, while standing up with Killua.
"Then it's settled", she said while standing up, too. "Foloow my instructions if you want to help!"
"Osu!" said Gon and Killua.
"These kids are... Like Bryan... The feeling of helping others..."
"I came here to gather some stuff to make a portal to the dead. I knew that I'm registered to enter hell. But I want to join Bryan. If you kids can help me make one, I'll rest in peace. Got it?" she said.
"Got it!" said Gon.
"Where's our first destination?"
"The jewellery store", she said.
"Wait... We're stealing?!" Killua asked.
"Well you boys DID wanted to help. Or you want to cut off the deal?" she asked.
"I'm not cutting the deal. I want to help you to reach heaven!" Gon said.
"Then trust me on this. If we don't get caught, you boys still have your good name", she said.
"But how about saving money to buy it?" Killua asked.
"Saving money takes a long time. And I can only be here temporarily. If I stay here too long, I'll be erased and I'll be burnt. That's why I don't want to waste time", she said.
"Fine..." said Killua.
"Now since it's day time, it's not a good time to rob yet. So let's collect the other things to make the portal", she said.
"Gon I need you to collect a white bird's feather. Killua, you go get some black soil", she continued.
Gon and Killua were ready to help Elizabeth Bathroy to return to the skies and be with Bryan.
"Will this work? It'll take time to do this. What if this fails?"
