~Chapter 27: Forgiveness~
A soft giggle echoed throughout the hallways. Long silver hair tied up swayed as she skipped down the path. Her tongue twirl around the lollipop in her mouth happily. She opened the door to her room and inside was full of potions and books. It was a large room and Echo skipped past her bed and table.
She took a blue book out of a shelf and the shelf began to move. Behind the shelf was revealed to be a secret passage. Echo skipped inside the passage and the shelf soon covered it once again. Echo walked down the stairs and in the room, there were capsules with a green liquid inside. One of them reveals to have a certain red head. Her red hair flowed around her and her eyes were closed. Her body was mostly revealed and were restrained with metal chains.
"Hey... Elsa.. Do you remember how you got into these capsules? It was your fault for not minding your own business. You shouldn't have left to help Feita.. If not, then your little brother wouldn't have to suffer. He wouldn't have to look for more power. Now that he achieves a more stronger power, he's a threat to Wally's plans."
Echo chuckled softly and snapped her fingers. The room became brighter and capsules surrounding the room were each holding a person inside it. Echo smiled brightly before staring at a picture with Aisha in it.
'Aisha... How are you? I... I'm useful.. See? I was telling the truth when I told you to run away from here. All these people in the capsules... They're all nosy people. Wally's plans.. As long as I listen to his orders, and continue on making more clones of these people.. Then.. I'll be free. I'm doing this for my own freedom. Aisha... Wait for me. I'll be there with you soon enough. My job to clone them is going to be over soon as Wally's plans succeeds.'
Aisha's eyes snapped open as she looked around her surroundings. She realized that she had fell asleep in the library. Raven who was reading his book, looked up and gave Aisha a soft pat on her head.
"You look tired. Go back to your dorm."
"Raven... What are you doing here?"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm on duty. Unfortunately, I've been skipping class too much. To make up for it, I have to stay and help the librarian whenever she needs help. And... You should be back in the dorms anyway. It's already six.. The library is only open until five."
"Oh... Thank you, Raven. I have a question."
"Sure. What is it?"
"Rena... What's your relationship with Rena? It's strange... You and Rena..."
"Our relationship... You could say that... She was my best friend."
"Was..?"
"Yeah. Here. Answer this question of mine. Would you forgive your best friend if she betrayed you? She killed all your friends. However.. The moment she tells the truth, she says that she lost her sanity. Would you still forgive someone who betrayed you?"
"I would forgive her. She lost her sanity. That must mean... She doesn't even know what she's doing until after. She must deeply regrets it inside her heart. She'll be wanting my forgiveness. And I'll do that. Forgive her, plus... Getting mad at her just because she betrayed me won't bring the others back. I.. I would start all over again with her. I'll repair the relationship. It's better than losing a precious friend."
'To forgive someone. Rena.. Maybe.. I should listen to Aisha, and repair this relationship with Rena.. I want to be friends with her again. Maybe.. Seris would be happy about it as well. After all... Seris trusted you, then I should trust you as well.'
"Thanks Aisha..."
"You're welcome~ I hope you can resolve your problems. I should go now. Bye.. Come to class, okay?"
Aisha smiled sweetly at Raven who merely nodded. Aisha felt better after talking to Raven. Her dream about Echo disturbed her, but... She felt better. She smiled genuinely and skipped towards the dormitory. At that moment, she bumped into a certain red head.
"Aisha... You should watch where you're going."
"Elsword... What are you doing?"
"Probably where you're going as well."
"Oh.. I'm going to the bath house where I'm going to relax in the warm water. You want to come in with me?"
Aisha smirked widely as she teases Elsword. Elsword covered his blush as he looked away from Aisha's gaze. Aisha grinned as she held his hand tightly and dragged him towards the dormitory.
"I was just kidding~ Get ready and have dinner with me! I don't want to sit alone. Oh! Let's invite Raven, Rena, Chung, Eve, Ara, and Elsa~"
Aisha's smile gave a warm feeling in Elsword's chest as he silently nodded his head. Back in the library, Raven bowed down politely to the librarian and walked back to the dorms. He smiled softly as a certain person's voice ringed in his mind.
"Raven! You better treat Rena as before! I'll never forgive you if I see her shed at least one tear! If I didn't cry out of sadness when we were together, then Rena, our best friend shouldn't have to shed tears either. I'm watch over you two. If you guys stop denying your feelings, then... Get together and name your child 'Seris'!"
"Seris... Sometimes, you're going overboard. Rena and I are just friends, best friends. Don't get any wrong idea, idiot.."
Seris smiled as she watched over Raven and Rena with deep sincerity and happiness. Her best friends are making up and... They can get over the horrible past.
'Seris is gone, but will always stay in your hearts.. Rena.. Raven.. Remember me, okay?'
~Author's Note~
Spring break is over, so... Back to two days. Every two days, I'll be updating the story. If I don't have homework, I'll work on the story~ :3 Sorry, but no Chung x Eve this chapter. XD Main characters, but let's let our other characters have some spotlight. Plus... I want to let Raven have some sweet moments with Aisha. I don't support them, but I think of them as siblings.
Seris.. In my opinion, she's a playful and cheerful person. She also trusts her friends deeply, and will do anything to protect them and give them happiness. I want to show that.. Seris is a good person~ :3 At the last part, it's Seris who's talking from Heavens.
Oh! I'll give out some information on when someone is a certain number reviewer. If you are the certain number reviewer, then tell me which pairing you want, plot or I make the plot. Okay? :3
Here are my replies to my awesome reviewers~
Konjiki No Yami: I know, but still... XD So sharp! Well, let's see what's going to happen next!
BIAxDiA: Aye... However, there's a problem. Aisha doesn't know about it yet. So... Who knows when she'll be able to comfort Elsword, but.. They're getting along.
Yumi-San Angel: *sighs* This is why he shouldn't be too trusting of others.
JiroBuster976: You have your answer now. XD This is why this is a huge twist in the plot~ :3 It's for everyone to predict what's going to happen. Chapter 22: Secrets and Dreams, it's only about Aisha's dream of her past/secret of being a slave while Eve dreams of her beloved Chung dying. He's open towards Aisha a little bit now. Open to the point where he gets teased by her.
Reaper53: O_O Um... Okay? I don't get what you're saying, but okay...?
Kat Neko983: XD Well, no worries. If Kiyo doesn't tell me, then he'll have to select someone from my reviews for the one shot planning. Actually, you only missed it twice, because I haven't thought about making any one shots for the 50th reviewer. So... You only missed it twice. When's your birthday?
Hospes: Well.. They're not going to drag innocent people into any kind of trouble. And... This will lead to some kind of new disaster. That feminine voice... :) Guess who. XD She's a nice girl, but I gave out a hint in the past about Echo. Remember she said "I'm more useful to them."? It was a hint. If someone/something's useful to you, then wouldn't you take advantage of it? And... I also checked. You were the 146th reviewer. XD I went back and count. :3 Thanks~ Although, I couldn't have done it without any of my awesome readers' support! :3 *parties with you* XD
RubyCrusade: As you read, you'll learn who. XD Nah, I don't ship Elsa x Raven. Even if I do.. One of them is going to die. Dude, do you know what you're saying? Your story is going to be much better than mine! :D Well, I shall wait for you to update~ :3 And... You'll find a lot of twists in this story that might make your head hurt for thinking too much. XD
NobelTJ99: Alright, Bro. XD Get ready for the twists.
The-Great-Me-sama: So... I fit in the fast updates and short chapters category? XD So... You're happy? :3
Thanks for reading!
