"Oh father, there you are, what're you doing way out here?" Isla said as they came closer, he turned to look at her and he softened, she smiled at them and stood next to her father. "Hello Roctis-nim, Jaruga-nim, Oh my, Frankenstein are you on your way back home? May we come with you, we were just on our way to say hello to Raizel." Isla smiled and he looked at her, obviously wanting to say something, her father protested that she go with him next time and she giggled; Severus sighed and stood there with his hand to his face obviously hearing this for the millionth time. "Alright, I'll see you later father, take care now~, hey Frankie let's go~! I'll leave you behind~! You too big brother~! Bye Roctis-nim~! Jaruga-nim~! Father~!" Isla called cheerily and she turned around after she had skipped ahead of them, Severus smiled gently and he and Frankenstein walked together to Rai's mansion after her.
"Pardon our intrusion Sir Raizel." Severus said as they entered his room, he was staring out the window and then turned towards them, Isla was frozen by his beauty and her face flushed slightly. "Today my little sister wanted to meet you so I came along just in case." Severus bowed slightly and Isla's heart was pounding, she took one step back and then ran out, everyone looked at her surprised and Severus sighed heavily. "That girl, honestly she can't be honest with herself." Severus sighed and bowed to them then left chasing after her, Isla was at the front doors outside, she was leaning against the wall, her heart racing so much it hurt.
"Wh-what's wrong with me?" Isla asked herself shakily and she clutched her heart squeezing her eyes closed, her father was watching from afar, finding it strange that she had ran out to quickly and was acting strange.
"My child, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Urokai, Isla and Severus's father, asked walking up to her with Roctis Kravei and Jaruga Siriana, looking worried, Isla glanced up at him panting and she clutched her chest with one hand as she stood up with a strained smile.
"No, I'm fine father; you don't need to worry about me." Isla said obviously confused and panting, Severus opened the door and asked why she ran out so quickly. "Well it's best if I get going, I have plenty of stuff to do, and I'll see you all later then." Isla said hurriedly then ran back to her house and slammed the door closed panting, Urokai sighed worriedly and went back to attend a meeting called by the Lord.
"Urokai you don't look so good, are you alright?" The Lord asked him when the meeting was coming to a close; Urokai snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at the Lord worriedly.
"Um Lord if you don't mind me asking…does your daughter give you problems or make you worry? Has she ever been acting weird at all?" Urokai asked worriedly, remembering the way Isla was acting lately, ever since she met Rai.
"Hm? Daughters always cause worry so don't fret about it. Besides what's she doing that's got you so unusually worked up?" The Lord asked him from his throne, Urokai looked to the side and laughed nervously and got to the point.
"Well whenever someone mentions Sir Raizel she tenses up or runs out of the room, clutching her chest, sometimes a hurt expression passes over her face and she leaves the room looking troubled. But when she went to go greet him for the first time, after a couple seconds she ran out panting, acting quite weirdly, she was flushed and I could tell something was bothering her." Urokai got straight to the point and the Lord looked surprised, he crossed his arms thinking and by then most of the Gajus had cleared, Gejutel Landegre and Ragar Kertia were the only ones left besides Urokai.
"Ah! Could it be!?" The Lord exclaimed opening his eyes suddenly, the three jumped when he was so sudden and Urokai asked him what he was talking about. "I think I know what's wrong with her!" The Lord said happily and he smirking happily, Urokai asked what it was and the Lord chuckled lightly. "She's in love!" He exclaimed happily standing up and throwing his arms in the air, Urokai looked shocked and the three of them stared at the Lord. "Heh, but to pick Raizel of all people, well if she's by him then he won't be alone all the time, and plus Frankenstein is by him now, hmm… hey Urokai do Isla and Frankenstein get along well?" The Lord asked and Urokai became agitated at the mention of Frankenstein, he then snapped out of it and was thinking about if she did.
"Now that I think about it I think they do, since Isla isn't fully human, but she isn't fully noble, she's half and half, so she understands the world from both views, she's like him in a way, knowing the world from a human's point of view." Urokai smiled softly, remembering how she valued life more than anyone, the Lord chuckled and said Rai and Isla would make a good pair now that he thinks about it. "Speaking of Isla, I haven't seen her all day, I wonder where she is." Urokai said rubbing his chin thinking, everyone shrugged and went on their merry way about their own business.
"Hey Frankie~! I'm back~! I've brought the things you asked for~!" Isla called entering his lab, she set everything down on a table and he turned around calmly, with a smug grin on his face and thanked her, saying she was a reliable great noble, Isla then lost her happy smile and it was replaced with a sad one and she looked down crossing her arms lonely. "I'm not a full noble, I'm half human, though father keeps telling everyone I'm a full noble, I'm really not, mother is human and she's living in the human world, having had her memories erased about me. She couldn't handle it that I was a freak so she disowned me, leaving me out to die, that's when Urokai, my biological father retrieved me before she could throw me out. I'm weak, I get sick a lot and my powers aren't as great as they should be… hey Frankenstein, you know it too right? That helpless feeling of being utterly powerless… …the feeling of being a freak among your own kind, it hurts, like I'm being stabbed over and over again right here." Isla said sadly as she looked up, tears flowing down her cheeks and a small lonely and sad smile on her face, he looked surprised and she clutched her heart, remembering the pain of being alone. "I just wish there's a power that can take away the pain I feel just by knowing that nobody here accepts me, hey Frankenstein… what do … you think…?" Isla asked, her body becoming hotter and she then stumbled towards him, her eyes closing and she had fainted into him, he caught her and felt her forehead, she was burning up and looked sick.
"Good grief, this child is so troublesome." Frankenstein sighed helplessly and picked her up gently, he was walking out and down to Rai's mansion, and Urokai caught a glimpse from the castle window and saw he was looking down at Isla with hidden love in his eyes. "…Isla…" Frankenstein said brushing a strand of her hair off her face and he gazed at her seriously, and worried, Rai came in and he looked up surprised and Rai stood next to her looking down at her.
"How is she?" Rai asked him, gazing down at her sleeping face, Isla was flushed and her fever was still really high, Frankenstein told him her fever was still high and that she suddenly fainted after talking to him about her background. "I see, so that's it, let me know if something happens." Rai said and suddenly Urokai opened the door after searching for her, he bowed to him and said he saw Frankenstein bring her here so he followed him.
"I'll take her now, this happens quite often actually, it's a miracle she lasted this long before collapsing, it's been a couple months since she last fainted like this." Urokai said and felt her forehead, his eyes went wide then clenched his teeth, cursing under his breath, and he picked her up and looked at Frankenstein. "I want you to stay as far as you can from her Frankenstein; it's your fault that she's like this, the dark energy surrounding you is killing her." Urokai hissed, hatred in his eyes and Frankenstein looked shocked, Urokai then turned around and headed back to his mansion with Isla in his arms, the Lord out walking and escaping from his work.
The Lord saw him looking angry and went up to him and asked what happened, Urokai sighed and looked at him seriously, saying that she was with Frankenstein then suddenly collapsed, Urokai looked saddened and told him that the dark powers that were surrounding Frankenstein were killing her. The Lord looked at her and she seemed to be in a considerable amount of pain, he sighed and then went with Urokai back to the mansion, Isla's step-mother came out worriedly holding a cleaning rag and ran over to them in relief. She saw Isla and looked worried again, Urokai explained what happened to her and she sighed, saying 'not again' and then led them into the house and up to Isla's room, her step-mother told Urokai to stay with her until she came back. Isla's step-mother went out and down to the kitchen; she opened a drawer and took out a small vile with a liquid in it and a small needle and syringe then headed back to Isla's room hurriedly, the Lord still there watching over her. The woman opened the door quietly and closed it behind her quietly so as to not disturb Isla, though she woke up anyway, Isla opened her eyes sleepily and looked to her right, her vision blurry as she tried to sit up but felt a pain in her heart.
"Now, now, child just lie down, this'll sting a little but please bear with it Isla, you'll get better I promise." Isla's step-mother, also Severus' biological mother, said sucking some of the liquid into the small syringe, Isla turned her head away and closed her eyes as she felt the pain as the needle pierced her skin. "Alright, all done, now rest dearie, you've had a long day." She said happily and brushed Isla's hair from her face and Isla nodded, she lie back down and fell asleep almost instantly, the Lord looked at her seriously, thinking hard.
"Urokai, may I speak with you for a moment?" The Lord asked him and he stood up and escorted him out, they arrived in a meeting room and they sat down at the table facing each other, the Lord looked at him seriously and sighed. "All I want to know is…why? Why does she put up with this, she's half noble so she should be able to fight off diseases and viruses, but why can't she? Is it because she's human? And also, I want to know why the power surrounding that peacock is killing her." The Lord asked and Urokai looked serious, he averted his eyes and looked away shamefully, the Lord sighed and he spoke to him.
"It's because she inherited her mother weak constitution, also those eyes, they're so much like that woman's, and as for the power surrounding Frankenstein, she's quite unique in the sense of she can feel the energy around her. Isla loves nature and all creatures, Isla can take the natural energy around her and transform it into anything she desires, healing items, and battle weapons, anything she can imagine she can create. But I thought it was fishy, I went to her mother to ask why that was so and I found out she wasn't full human, she was half-werewolf, it angered me that she hid it from me, now I know why Isla can do that, it's because of her mother's unique werewolf blood. Even among werewolves, that ability is only passed down through the leaders of the packs, but Isla doesn't know she's a quarter-werewolf, she thinks she's half-human half-noble, I think it would devastate her if she found out." Urokai said and suddenly the door opened and Isla was in the doorway, tears in her eyes and a hurt expression on her face, Urokai was caught off guard and the Lord looked surprised.
"Well now I know, so that's what you think of me then? A freak? Because you're right, I should've never been born in the first place! And especially to a no good father like you!" Isla yelled crying and she ran down the halls, Isla's step-mother ran after her calling her name, Urokai sighed and looked worn out, saying it was inevitable.
"Well, I guess this is for the best, maybe now she'll be happy, perhaps her and Sir Raizel will hit it off, but I don't like the idea of my daughter going around with boys, ah~, daughters cause such worry." Urokai sighed and sat back looking up at the ceiling, though I wouldn't be lying if I said I was glad she was out of my way, I need her out of here so I can kill Frankenstein, Urokai thought to himself and the Lord looked at him then left after a few seconds.
"I hate you father!" Isla yelled at him from outside and ran out crying, she instinctively ran towards Rai's mansion to find Frankenstein, the Clan Leaders that left his mansion saw her running down the road and Roctis stopped her and she looked up at him. "Roctis." Isla sniffled and cried, burying her face into his chest, Roctis was the only other Clan Leader she could turn to, he was always there for her, and he put his arm around her and asked what happened. "Urokai he…" Isla sniffled and then explained what happened with the Lord; Roctis sighed and closed his eyes, he then turned around and headed for Rai's mansion a few meters away, saying he'd ask if she could stay there awhile so she could calm down.
