[Chapter 3: The feeling I don't understand]

Just when I was about to go met up with Elsword, Novia came up to me, and her face was in a bad-tempered. "Eve, come with me for a moment."

I stare at her, knew something was up. She leads me to the parking lot. I look around her and see no people there. (What's with her?) I sigh silently, (I thought something were up?)

Confuse with my thoughts, I feel the tight rope tie me up I can't even move. Even though I have much power, I can't fight back like this. Suddenly, two men approach in front of me while Novia turn her back on me. "Don't move or speaks." They say, "Or you'll die."

(W-what? So this is a trick?!) I thought, (Damn it… I should have notice sooner.)

"…Let's go before someone came." Novia smirk at me, "What's with that face? Scared?" She laughed at me. I frown at her, "What do you want from me?"

"…." She keeps quite. I get angry, "Money? The successful for the business? Or to kill me away from Elsword?"

She look at me irritable and smiles like a devil smile down upon at me, "Shut this girl up. And as soon as you done, we're out of here."

I suddenly feel foolish by what happen. And I always thought why I always want to kill people behind someone's back. I'm just a fool that get angry easily. Especially with this big one here. I don't really know why I get angry so much. If it possible, I want to use some of my skills right here and kill the two men. I can't kill Novia because she's the daughter of the Paris famous hotel owner. They are in between the business, so I can't.

While I'm thinking that, I feel a hard pressure on my stomach. It's hard and hurt that I don't have the power to fight back. I faint. After that, I feel that the men push me inside a car and blindfold me. The car start moving and I have no idea where they could take me to.

The car stop and I'm shoved onto a hard, concrete surface. I can smell saults and the sound of the water splashing.

"Take off her blindfold." Novia says.

They take off my blindfold and I stare silently to the ground and Novia starts to speak; "Now no one can find us here in the warehouse near the ocean." She laughs.

"…What do you want?" I gaze at her.

Novia speaks madly, "I'll go straight to the point. Break up with Elsword."

(…That's it? She brought me here for this?) I sigh silently, (Oh well… I'm going to say it anyway. For Elsword's sake.)

"No." I look at her. But then her face turned red, "You don't deserve Elsword and you say 'no'?!" She frowns.

I smirk, "Well, the truth is that you don't deserve him either." I grinned, "And the reason I said no is because I love him."

Her face grows even serious, madder, and the more of that grow, the more I enjoy it. "You snotty little…" She raises her hand, but then put it down, "You still love him even though you're in this situation?!"

"My feeling for him won't changes, no matter what you do to me." I say.

(I have no choice but to say that.)

I look at her in the eyes and her mouth twists with fury when she sees I won't look away. She smile evilly at me, "Boys, make this end."

"Yes, Ms. Novia!"

The two men raise his gun at me. The one point at my head and the other one pointed straight to my stomach. If they just shoot it at me at once. Guns can hurt me. Or kill me. 2 shoots, I'm dead.

(I knew this would happen.) I thought, feeling despair, (…Why am I feeling so hopeless? Am I sad to go?)

I stare to the ground and wait for the gun shoot sound. But instead of the gun shoot sound, I heard sounds of men shouted.

"Arghhhh!"

I look up and saw Elsword and Eisuke fighting those two men down. After that, Elsword walk up to me and smile at me like when the two of us in his suite alone, "Looks like I'm here on time," He pats my head, "Did they hurt you?"

I shake my head, "No they didn't. But how did you know?"

He smirks, "I'll explain it later." He unties the rope that was around me and he helps me up. The doubts fill my head, (Why did he have to be so kind?) I thought, (He was here on time… No shame.)

He looks at Novia. The way he looks at her was different. Angry, mad, worried, the care I feel. Whatever he did to me, I'm not going to fall for him. I regret it in the past.

"Why did you do this, Novia?" He says. His voice is kind of mad. I look at Novia who was speechless and looking surprise at what just happen. Her face become pale, "E-Elsword… I-I…"

"Answer me." He step up to Novia, "…Tell me the truth, Novia."

She stare to the ground, cannot face him, "…Okay, if you say that…" She looks at Elsword, "It's because I want her out of your life! She doesn't deserve you! So that's why I brought her here… just to talk to her alone."

Elsword's face was displease, "…Women are hard to understand…" He mumbles, but then speaks, "I know how you feel, but things can't change." He said, "And besides, I love Eve. No one can tear us apart."

Elsword then pull me close to him that I can feel his warmth. (It's just an act…right?) I thought, (…Why am I acting so different after I'm will be with him from now on?)

I can tell all of that was an act. But there was something behind it. It was so real I could believe it.

Novia look at us, her eyes were almost red. She's angry, but speak calm, "…I understand. But… I think I found my true love." She turns to look at Eisuke.

(…Huh?)

"What do you mean?" Eisuke says. Novia then smile happily and walk over to Eisuke, "My love! I found it!"

"Pffft… Just as I planned." Elsword smirk mischievously.

"What… you!" Eisuke groan.

I nodded, "So this is your plan…" I says, "Make Novia fall for Eisuke."

Elsword laugh with amusement, "Yep. You're so smart." He pats my head in amusement.

"I'm not a dog." I sigh.

Novia cling on Eisuke and she smile happily. Eisuke still have that mad face on him. I look at them and can't help but laugh silently to myself. It's really marvelous for seeing the two of them here. The question still on my head, 'how did they found me?'

I'm sitting in a limo with Elsword and Eisuke. Novia have to go back to her house with Nova. Eisuke frown, "I hate you. That woman is too fat."

"Isn't she your type?" Elsword laugh. Eisuke look at Elsword irately but then turn his face away.

"So, how did you found me there?" I decide to ask. He then smiles, "This." Suddenly, he reaches his hand out to me, closer and closer to my neck. He reaches his hand behind my neck and pulls something out. "Is that…a tracking device?" My eyes wide open.

"Yep." He grinned, "I know. This kind of thing is scary. It's like someone stalks you with this kind of electronic."

"…I'm gonna get you back, Elsword." Eisuke talk like he displeases, "That woman is not even my type and now you giving her to me."

Elsword chuckle, "Sorry 'bout that. I have no choice."

(No choice? Can't he just let it go?) I thought.

"But there's one thing I learn there." He sigh deeply, "…There's nothing scarier than a jealous women. I learned that a lot now."

"…Agree." Eisuke nodded in agreement.

I look at the two of them having a frighten face, I almost blurt out laughing because of their faces. "So, what now?" I say, "Do we continue acting…?"

Elsword suddenly smirks, "Of course. We'll keep pretending until they go back to Paris."

"Okay." I nod, "So if that's over, you'll let me go, right?"

He looks at me patting my head with a smile on his face and without a word. He then looks away, "…Yeah. You can go. You can go free."

Sad. His voice sounded so sad. But it was just my imagination. He would never care about someone like me or feel bad about me. If he knows I was a Nasod, that's another thing. Elsword, who was trained by Red Knights…to search for an El Shard could never understand me.

We went back to the hotel after all of the horrible things happen.

After the shower, I walk back to the bedroom and overheard Elsword talking to the phone, "…Did you find her?"

('Her'? Who is he talking about?) I thought as I listening in, (Maybe it's his girlfriend?)

"Oh… Nah, it's okay, you did your best. Anyway, thanks a lot." He hung up and sighs, "…I'll find you, I promise."

The step getting closer and closer. The door open and I couldn't escape in time. His eyes open wide when he sees me, "What are you doing?"

"Um…"

"…You were listening in?"

"I didn't mean to…" I said, "I was going to go in then I overheard."

He nod, but then walk away. I decide to ask him anyway, "So, who's 'her'?"

"…" He silence, but then speak, "…None of your business." Then he walks into the bathroom. His word was cold.

(I guess that person must be his girlfriend.) I thought as I walk into the bedroom, (Oh well, why do I care.)

Listen to the tone of his voice, it's sad. Is that person really important? Why do I care? Do I feel sad just being say, 'None of your business'?

"…I feel like I want to know who's that person is." I say to myself as I lay down on the bed, "He would never tell me about himself or even his life."

The question keeps going on and on in my head until Elsword came into the bedroom with his sad face. Our eyes met for a moment, and then he lay down on the bed, turning his back on me. I decide to sleep with his back on me.

10 minutes later, I can't sleep. I look back at Elsword who still haven't turned his face to me. The reason I can't sleep is the question. I don't really know why I care so much. What if it was his girlfriend? Do I care?

(Oh whatever… I'm just gonna ask so that I can finally go to sleep.)

I decide to sit up on the bed and speak up, "…Are you awake?"

"…." There was no answer back at me, but then he speaks, "Yeah…"

"…Can I ask you who that person that you were searching for is?" I say. I can hear him sighing and seems to be annoyed by me, "…Why did you want to know?"

"Oh…" He suddenly sits up and walks toward me, "Now you're asking me twice… What do you want to know?"

He was right in front of me, his eyes look down upon me and it was kind of cold, "Why did you want to know…?"

"Um… It's just that… I was just curious," I say nervously when I see that cold eyes. He then brings his face close to mine, "…You don't know about me, so…"

Our lips were close enough to touch. Unable to go anywhere, I close my eyes shut. Instead of the kiss, he pinches my cheek, "…So don't try to act like you know about me." He smirk, then he walk back to his bed.

(I-I wasn't expecting that…) I thought, (But I want to know… Just why?)

I shake my head, trying to get that question off me. I lay down on the bed when he just about to speak up, "…I'm just gonna tell you one thing." He says, "The person I was searching for is very important."

"…That's all?"

"Yeah." He says, "Good night." He pulls the sheet and covers himself. Confuse, I sleep.

(What the heck… So that person is important to him… Is it his mother?)

I don't know any his sibling. His parents must be dead. (…It's his girlfriend.) I thought, (This feeling again…)

I sigh silently to myself and finally go to sleep for work tomorrow.

I'm in a VIP room with Rena, Aisha, and Ara. They got to work here too. "Eve, you were gone like 2 days! Where were you?"

"Oh… I…" I stop my sentence.

"Hm?" Aisha slide her head to the side, "You what?"

"I… I were sick." I lied when I remember those 3 rules. Ara smiles, "So you're better. Good for you, Eve."

"Yeah… I haven't learned the skill…" Rena sighs, "It's really hard to learn."

"Ohhh, the new skill that you were learning?" Aisha chuckle, "Sure looks hard."

These 3 have a special power. I know that Elsword have it too. I have to be careful of anyone who I didn't know. They might take my power behind my back.

Everyone have a weakness on their power. If that weakness spot got destroy, the power will go inside the body on the one who destroy it. And that person will gain more power.

"You guys can go do another room. I'll take care of this one." I said.

"Okay. I'll go do in room 1543." Rena smiles and then walks out of the room. Then Aisha follows her.

"Well then, another time, Eve." Ara smiles, and walk out of the room.

Suddenly, Moby and Reby appears in front of me. "Hello, Eve! How's your day?" Moby smiles.

"As usual. Things happen a lot lately." I sigh, "The guy buy me at the auction and his business and all… it's a really long story."

"Ohhh… Who's that guy?" Reby says. I pull the sheet up, "Elsword. I have to obey him about everything."

"Well… I feel bad. You're a Nasod Queen and you have to obey him…" Moby frown, "But is he in the Red Knights Group? The one who was trained by the Red Knights?"

"Yeah. I know that I have a special power like him and I still have to obey his 3 rules." I groan, "…Pain."

I suddenly hear a footsteps coming down the hall way, then Moby and Reby disappear. The person who came into the room is Baba.

"Oh, hey." I greet him. Then he smiles back, "Hey, my angel." He wink, "How are you doing?"

"…Fine." I say, "Um, why are you here?"

"Just want to see you're okay about last night." He said, "Novia took you to the warehouse, right?"

"Yeah…" I said, "But Elsword and Eisuke save me so I'm alright."

Baba grinned, "You know, that Elsword guy is really something," He suddenly said, "He can be confusing sometime. Especially about love. Something like that."

"…I guess so too." I nodded, agree, "I ask him about the women he was searching for and he just say, 'The person I was searching for is very important'. He could never tell anyone about himself."

Baba's expression suddenly turn serious, "The woman he was searching for, huh." He said, "You want to know?"

"…Know?"

"That woman he was searching for." Baba smirks. Then I nodded as soon as he finishes his sentence, "That woman he was searching for…was his older sister."

(…His older sister?) I thought, (So she is very important to him, huh…)

I don't know why I feel relieve that it's not his girlfriend. I still have to know what she's look like so that I can find her. Maybe he'll let me go if I found her.

"Anyway…" As I was going to speak, a pager shivered in my pocket, "Elsword's calling again…" I sigh.

"Well then, why don't you go?" Baba grinned. "Must be an emergency."

"Okay, thanks." I hurried out of the room.

I go into the penthouse and there, Elsword waiting for me. "You're here on time, great job." He smiles, "Well, gotta tell you one thing."

"What?"

"When I page you, come here within 3 minutes." He smirks, "Got it?"

(3 minutes?! Is he crazy? I can't make it here in 3 minutes.) I sigh, but nodded, "Okay…"

"Good, good." He pats my head, "So, we're going out again."

"Um… with Novia?" I said, then he grinned, "Yeah. And we have to drag Eisuke with us."

I laugh silently, "Right."

"This is such a pain. Why did I have to go?" Eisuke frown, "I hate you…"

Elsword laugh, "Don't be so mean, Eisuke. Just think that the reason you did this just for me."

"As if I wanted to do this." He sighs.

"Oh well. Eve, change into something. We're going shopping with Novia," Elsword smiles.

"Okay, okay…"

We drive a limo to the cloths store. Novia's happy as if nothing happen between me and her. She walks around happily, looking for dresses. Eisuke standing next to me, frowning while Novia dragging Elsword around with her. "Why did I have to come…" Eisuke sighs, "I know it's for his business, but can't Soryu come instead of me?"

"Sounds like you don't want to accept the fact that Novia likes you?" I grinned, "So that's why he decides to bring you along."

"I know that. But I don't really like Novia. She eats like a pig." He frowns, "When is this gonna be over…?"

I chuckle, "That's what Elsword says when he mentions Novia into the conversation."

I standing there, chatting with Eisuke and I glance over to the side and see a pair of rings set. It's full with diamonds, stones, and some of them were a normal ring. A ring is a symbol of a couple if I wasn't wrong. A couple ring. I don't really want it for a reason.

(That's too stupid for a human. Couple rings…?)

I look at it for a long time while I thought and Elsword walks over to me and look in the direction that I was looking in. He then grins, "What, you don't have a ring?"

"No. I don't really want one anyway," I say, "I was just looking at them."

Novia run over us and drag Eisuke with her, a smile on her face, "Eisuke, let's choose my dresses together!"

Eisuke frown, "Fine, fine."

Elsword laugh, "Sometimes, I feel bad for him," He turns to the counter and look at the pairs of ring.

(What is he doing?)

"Hm…" He picks up a diamond white ring and wears it on my middle finger. Then he smiles, "I'll get this one, please."

"Of course," The employee smiles.
He then look at my hand and smirks, "I like it. Keep it on."

(Seriously, what's with him?) I sigh silently.

"What do you think of my sexy black lace, Eisuke?!" Novia smiles as she poses.

"Not so bad, I guess." Eisuke spoke while he's looking at other dresses.

Novia pouted, "Let's go pick out another dress for me!" Then Novia drag Eisuke over to the back of the store.

Elsword laugh, "Poor him. But I have to do this to success the business deal."

"I understand that." I say, "Um… But can I ask you something… again?"

Suddenly, his face become serious, his eyes are looking into mine, "…If it's about the person I was searching for, I won't answer it."

"…Sorry." I sigh, "I won't ask for it again."

Elsword then smiles, "…Thanks. You're a good pet." He pats my head, "It's a pain for me… so don't ask."

"…Sure, I won't again." I say, "I know how you feel. You don't have parents…after all."

His eyes are open wide, but then turn to his serious face, "You know already…?" He sighs, "I'm so bad at this game…"

"Game?" I frown, "I know it was you since I met you after that auction. But did the others know?" Then he shakes his head, "No. I never tell them. Well then…"

Suddenly, he grab my chins up, "You are very wise, Nasod Queen."

I shake his hand away and look at him in the eyes, "I know who you're searching for." I say, "…It's your older sister, isn't it?"

"…." He was silence this time, but then he look away, "…It got nothing to do with a Nasod like you."

(Hmph… Cold.)

Elsword look back at Novia and Eisuke. They still walk around. Then Elsword turn back with a sigh, "Y'know… I never thought you'd know. …Who told you?"

"Oh. Baba told me." I said, "But I was curious and can't help…"

"That thief again…" He sighs, "But why are you so curious about that?"

"…I don't know." I said, "Even though I know that you are trained from the Red Knights to search for El Shard… including your sister, I could not trust you. And the fact that I ask… Well, I don't really know. The feeling just tell me to."

Just then, he smirks, "Oh? You have feelings? I thought you don't have one."

"Of course I have one because of my friends taught me!" I raise my hand at him but he caught it with an evil smile on his face, "Surely you can trust me. I'm a good guy after all…" Just when he was about to kiss me, Novia run over with a frown, "What are you doing, Elsword?!" She cling to him, "Don't do stuff like that in front of meee!"

"Okay, okay…" Elsword sigh, "So, are you guys done shopping?"

"Yep! I got sooooo many dresses!" Novia smile brightly, "Time to go back to my dad's office, hm?"

"Finally…" Eisuke sigh heavily. Elsword laugh after the act of Eisuke, "Of course, let's go back."

(…He would never tell me.) I thought, (Why did I want to know anyway?)

After we done taking Novia back to Nora's office, we all go back to the hotel. I'm in Elsword's suite, waiting for him to done taking shower. I sit down on the sofa in the living room, a little exhausted. Just then, I heard Elsword's voice.

"…You find her?"

(…Again…? He asks someone to search for her again…) I walk over to the bedroom so that I can hear it clear.

"Oh…" I heard him say, "Thanks Raven, you're a big help. And ask Add if he find her….Yeah, thanks." Then he hung up with a sigh again.

(Add…?! T-that guy who kidnaped me to his lab?!) My eyes open wide of my thoughts, (…They are friends? With Add?! I can't believe him!)

After I have a big sigh, I go into the bedroom. I see Elsword lying on the bed, his eyes close. I sigh silently, "…Did it go well?"

"…..I guess." He finally answers, "You can go to work tomorrow. There's no schedule tomorrow and you can sleep first. I'm busy tomorrow." Then his eyes close again.

(…Human are hard to understand. Especially a person like him.) I thought, (Why did he have to search for his older sister? To have someone else search for him? She's that important?)

I decide to shower and sleep. Thinking what will happen tomorrow. Well, that jerk still alive and it make me a little displease.

Som's Note:
