Caretaker
Half and Half Meet
"So you're the Noah of Shadows, then?" Libya asks straightforwardly.
"Yes-" Gabby suddenly turns to their golden-haired friend. She sighs. "I'm sorry to report this, but your friend, Caretaker, has just lost her game."
"She's lost her game?" the white-haired boy stutters in shock. He stands up, now being able to, and walks over to Gabby. He's instantly shocked from crossing something.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that! I forgot to mention that there's a restricted line for crossing this side," Gabby says, though she doesn't seem sorry. More like entertained.
"Yes, you're so forgetful!" Allen growls at her. She gives him an apologetic smile.
"So how did she lose her game?" Libya asks whilst she stands too. Gabby shrugs as she kneels in front of their golden-haired friend.
"It appears as though she's been manipulated. Someone has hijacked her brain and let themselves in," Gabby informs.
"Well, who was it that was suppose to be?" Libya asks.
"I'm not sure, I don't know who shows up until they do. Even then it's hard for me to figure out who they are and try to give them the right persona," Gabby explains.
"So, who was her opponent instead?" Allen asks. Gabby hums a moment.
"There's only one way to find out," she says as she places her finger upon Caretaker's forehead. She's transported into the exorcist's mind. She falls onto the leaf-filled ground of a forest. She dusts the dirt and leaves from her clothes and hair. A sudden body is flown towards her and she ducks fast. It object falls to the ground with a groan. Gabby realizes it's the golden-haired fellow from the group. She appears to have lost her consciousness. Gabby glances upward to the perpetrator that had hit the exorcist.
She sees another Caretaker.
She glances back down at the fallen one, then back to the standing one. What trickery is this? The difference between the two is the one that's standing. Her hair straight, whilst the original has curly. The standing one is immediately angered by Gabby's presence.
"What are you doing here?" she snarls. Gabby is a bit surprised that they recognized her.
"You know who I am?" she asks as she stands too. The exorcist rolls her eyes.
"Of course I know who you are, you're the one I fled from!" she says whilst pointing the Noah. Gabby is a tad confused, but realizes who this is.
"You're my ability!" she says gobsmacked. "You've been in her this whole time?"
The girl snorts. "Ever since she were born; a mere eighteen years."
"But you've been gone for over twenty!"
"Well, I had to find the right host, now did I?"
"And you chose this one because?"
"She's connected to you in some way."
"In what way is she connected? I've never met this girl in me life!"
"She's someone very special to you, let's put it that way."
"I don't have time for this, why are you trying to kill her instead of me?" The girl snorts once again.
"Isn't it obvious? I want her body for my own!"
"So your planning on just killing her and taking the body along with? Why not share?"
She laughs. "Share? Are you mad? There's no way I'll share with this mere human. The reason I left was to collect my own body for once."
"Can't you compromise? She's just a girl, can't you show some mercy?"
"Well well, I'd never see the day where Gabrielle Kinn would show, let alone speak of mercy. I thought you were a Noah."
"I am. There's just something about this girl that tells me she isn't worth killing. Just compromise with the girl and move on!"
"Why in such a hurry?"
"I want to go over my results! I'm dying to analyze my test." The girl sighs.
"All right, have it your way. Leave." She waves her hand and Gabby is sent back to the main room. When she arrives, the trio of exorcists are staring at her from across the room. She lifts her head and removes her finger from the golden-haired girl. Right after, her eyes start to flutter. She opens them to find the Noah girl from earlier kneeling in front of her. She's confused and gormless to what just happened. Her comrades are joyful that she's not dead. Gabby only sighs to interrupt their ecstatic reunion.
"I hate to break it to you, but I must inform to Caretaker that she hosts my other half of Noah," she says with distaste. Caretaker is a bit taken back.
"How do you-"
"I was in your mind, 'member? I was the one who saved your miserable life, you should thank me by the way," Gabby says whilst crossing her arms.
"Uh, thank you?"
"You're welcome, now leave, all of you. I have work to do." With that said, Gabby waves her hand. They all appear in the Order.
How's that for generosity?
So, I've finished part of the revision process. I'll be taking a break from revising for the next two weeks. I'm sorry if it's a tad confusing when you read after this chapter, but I'm going on a trip and writing my own original story. I hope you've enjoyed the story so far, and keep on reading in later events. Please review! It's much appreciated, and it helps me fix any errors that I've made.
