Hi readers! FYI, I'm trying to end the story soon. So sorry if the story is in a little rush. It's because I have an idea for another story. So this story will end soon.
Gon ran as fast as he could to get away from Killua. He headed to Elizabeth. Elizabeth turned around and saw the two boys chasing each other. She gave a small chuckle seeing the hilarious boys.
"Elizabeth San! Help me!" yelled Gon.
"No, don't ever help him! He's dead, from ME!" Killua yelled.
Elizabeth laughed away. Soon, she stood up and gave them a big slap.
"Ouch!" said the two boys in pain.
"Now now. No more playing the fool. Go to bed now to continue our day tomorrow!" she said. The two boys didn't reply a word. They took their blankets and went to bed. But Elizabeth wasn't sleeping. She stared at the campfire as she thought of a plan to perish the small devils that'll soon chase after her. While the boys take a rest, she prepared some weapons to perish the small devils. She'll need all the help she can get from Gon and Killua on this. She gave a small sigh. All of this hard work could be a waste if she fails.
Every second is precious. I can't afford to lose this time!
Ever since she was young, before she died, she always had competition with time. Its just too fast. She always run, but can never escape. Soon, she found that time had stop, the time when her eyes met a boy. A kind hearted one too. A boy with hazel coloured eyes with blonde hair. And two years older than her. A boy named Bryan. Time felt like it wasn't important anymore.
Yes, sweet memories~
Time has changed. It does not reverse.
The next morning, Gon and Killua were energetic. They went to see Elizabeth how things were going. Elizabeth wasn't on her usual mood.
"Elizabeth San? Are you okay?" Gon asked.
Elizabeth was startled. "Oh Gon, Killua. You're awake..." she said softly.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong?" Gon asked again.
Elizabeth shook her head and stood up. She told them to quickly continue with their job on making the portal for her to go to heavens. Gon and Killua didn't know what's wrong with her. But they'll find out soon. They resume on making the portal. And after three hours, they were done! Elizabeth had a bit joy in herself. While Gon was a bit sad of her leaving. She looked at Gon and Killua. She was crying.
"Gon... Killua..." she said while sobbing. "Thank you for helping me from the start till now", she continued. "I don't believe we can ever meet again. Never. So I hope...-".
"You don't have to cry, Elizabeth. We know its time for departure", said Gon. Soon, Gon started crying.
"Oi, Gon! Now you're crying!" said Killua.
"Killua, the feeling of leaving someone is too strong for me to handle!" said Gon while sobbing. Soon Killua's eyes were watery. But no tear dropped. He doesn't want to join the crying scene. Elizabeth couldn't say anymore. She hugged the two boys tightly.
Killua had made his first tear.
"S-see Killua? Not even you can handle it!"
"Now now... We... Shouldn't cry on something simple like this", comforted Elizabeth. She let go of the boys who helped her throughout the journey. Gon then wiped of Elizabeth tears.
"Elizabeth I'll always remember you", he said. Elizabeth's eyes were wide open. That line sounds familiar.
"Elizabeth I'll always remember you"
She finally remembered. That was the scene from her childhood. It was a day before her best friend, her only friend's death. So much memories were locked up tight, till she met the two boys who unlocked it and sent them free. Is Gon really Bryan's afterlife person?
Elizabeth smiled at the boys before she opened the portal. Soon, the boys will never see the girl Elizabeth Bathroy ever again. The case of the murder from the Strange Tail Girl will come to the end.
"I'm sorry for troubling you guys", she said. The boys waved their hands to her before she made her step into the portal. Elizabeth walked slowly towards the portal, but then she suddenly stopped. She felt that something was not right. Gon and Killua wondered why she'd stop. Then, a few 'myic myic' sounds were heard by Gon, Killua and Elizabeth. Then, small devils appeared between the forest trees.
They're here... Finally here... Was I too late...?
The small devils attacked the three. Elizabeth threw the weapons she made last night to Gon and Killua.
"Gon, Killua! Use these to stop them!" she yelled.
Without wasting a single second, they activated the weapons and attacked back the devils. Elizabeth closed the portal so that none of the devils enter heavens.
The fight took about half an hour. But no one had their victory yet. Suddenly one of the devils made a secret attack. It ran towards Gon and Killua, who were distracted by the other small devils. Elizabeth saw that attack. She pushed the boys away and got stabbed by the sword.
Gon and Killua were speechless.
