Council Meeting Interrupted

CHAPTER 2

"Miss, Elyhea, you were seen in the South part of limbo at 2:37 talking to someone with a mask on. Who were they? And what did you want from them?" the head counsellor, Oscar demanded.

"You do know... what you're doing is illegal right?" Elyhea casually played with her nails

"We're doing this to protect the residents of limbo, Miss Elyhea." Isla added

"Well, aren't I part of the residents? How are you protecting me? I've lived here for 14 years. I am considered a local now by the law. And the law states it is illegal to invade a local's privacy. It doesn't require me to answer any of your questions." she retorted. while glaring at the counsellors.

Even if they were the ones "interviewing" the demon was the one dominating the room. Sitting like she owns the place. No fear in her eyes, while the council did have it in theirs.

"Can you answer the questions this time? It's one of the last time's you'll have to do this. Just cooperate." said the head counsellor, sighing.

Elyhea, intrigued. opened her mouth to say something, but quickly put her hand over it. "I have to go," she said, already running out of the council meeting room, into the bathroom, locking it. She started vomiting.. Blood out. she looked up at herself in the mirror, gritting her teeth, she punched the counter. "Agh, why is this happening!!?"

She put her hood on and began to walk out of the council building. She knew hiding her face did nothing when her black and blood Red crystal tips wings gave her away immediately.

"Hey!" suddenly a voice coming close called "I knew you wouldn't come to me, so I decided to come to you. Even though we both know you're killing yourself. And I am right." Daniel said.

"Can you shut up? We're walking in the middle of the city. No need to tell people information they don't need."

"Oh come on, Elyhea. Stop being so grumpy. You know I met someone today! She was so pretty. I thought, I would die just looking at her." he said with dreamy eyes

"Hm." She Replied, not interested.

"..I know… well, I think. She was a half blood fairy and half angel. She was making rings and giving them to small children, she was so beautiful, El. She had blood fairy wings with little lines of white going through them, brown skin and was

wearing a dress. Oh! And she had red eyes like you! except hers looked alive."

He muttered the last part.

Elyhea, looked at Daniel with a disgusted look "Very funny, though. You did fall hard huh. Did you even talk to her? Or were you just staring from afar like a stalker?"

"I… tried to go up to her. But—" "You were a wimp?" Elyhea cut him off.

Daniel rolled his eyes and said "Yeah, when you'll find someone. You will be too."

"I won't, my eyes are enough to make anyone fall to their knees" Elyhea said

"You're so sure when you haven't even dated someone yet " Daniel mocked her.

Elyhea turned around, facing Daniel "I can make you the test subject if you want to know so badly." she said looking straight into Daniel's eyes, her own glowing.

Daniel chuckled, "By using magic?"

"Why not?" she tilted her head.

" You'll only get into a bigger mess because of it." Daniel said, not moving away.

"How can you be so sure?" Elyhea said, moving her face closer to Daniel's holding her stance. "I can do this too, El. I am a crystalian as well, "Daniel said, smirking.

"Yeah but it'll wear off for you because of your half assed spells, Not for me~" she sang.

Daniel rolled his eyes."If I wanted to make her my slave, I would've already done it, but that isn't love. I would be using her. Some day, I'll be fed up with it. But with love, I know I won't be." eyes glimmering at the thought of it.

"When did you become a lover boy? I thought you dated for the fun of it." Elyhea said, moving her head back,more disgusted she put her hands back in her pockets and continued walking.

"When I figured, it was leading me to nothing." he shrugged, following her.

IT. Doesn't lead to shit either, only pain remains She thought

"Hm,were you here to tell me about her?" Elyhea said, going into the dark forest.

"Yes, but I also wanted to talk about your health.. I saw you running out of the council meeting room with blood coming out of your hands. Sigh. When will you listen to me?"

"You know, what I am doing is for the best. For everyone."

"Killing yourself slowly is better for everyone?"

"Yes."

Quietness filled their presences. Soon, Daniel spoke breaking it "I don't want…. I don't want to lose you El. You're the only Family I have."

Elyhea stayed quiet and kept walking. Family. What a lame excuse for traders, betrayers. She scoffed. The only "good family" for lack of a better word, was Ruby and Daniel. Everyone else was no one to Elyhea.

"I'll try to.. think of something else, other than that potion." she agreed, looking away from Daniel. They had reached Elyhea's house.

Daniel immediately smiled happily and hugged Elyhea "Thank you, big sis." he said chuckling.

"Yeah, yeah. Now get off of me." she said after a good minute.

Daniel giggled at that "Can i have a cup of coffee before I go? I have a lot of work to do after."

"Come in."

Elyhea was lying in bed right now. Lost in thoughts of her life, The past came flashing back to her.

"How can you be so? ..so Disgusting Elyhea. You're a disgrace to both demons and Crystalians. How can it be.

I married your mother specifically for her powers, yet still look how her kids turned out. Pathetic. I guess that's why she died. She wasn't the powerful Crystalians I thought of her to be. She was weak. Just like her kids."

The king said angrily looking at 11 year old Princess Elyhea. as Prince Ross stood by him. "Look at him. He is powerful even though he is just a royal demon. Too bad, you can't be as good as him even if you try your hardest . Pathetic idiot. I Guess it's because of him only having my power. Demons were always the most powerful species."

He chuckled darkly."Good thing your mother is dead, I would've tortured her. because of her offspring." "IF ruby turns out like you, I would kill her right then and there.

If she doesn't get powers I will make you watch her die in front of you. And IF she does have powers. Then I'll make her day of judgement here. Which you won't be here to see. As you are not wanted here! Be ready for your new life. " he giggled.

The king got up from his throne and angrily walked towards little Elyhea. Grabbing her hand harshly he dragged her out of the throne room. Throwing her on the floor outside of the room and finally before closing the doors on her face. He spit on her.

Elyhea sat there on the ground for a while, blankly looking at the door.

How can he be so cruel to me? Am I nothing? She thought

"Ellieee, here you are!! Come play with me. I am bored! I am already done with today's studies and training!" a little girl jumped on elyhea giggling as she hugged her beloved sister.

Elyhea closed her eyes. Sighing. she looked at her little sister with love filled eyes and a big smile. "Oh that's like my baby sis!! Have you eaten?'

"No.." Ruby said slowly. Looking away from Elyhea pouting.

Forgetting her pain, she spoke softly "Come on, let's fill your little tummy. Then we can play ok?" Getting up, holding Ruby's small hand.She started to walk towards the dining room.

"You promise? We'll play, and you won't leave me to go training again?" Ruby asked her brown sparkling eyes Filled with hope.

"Yes, I promise. I'll play with you, " Elyhea said with a soft, warm smile.

"Yayyyy, then let's hurry up!" Ruby ran while pulling Elyhea with her. Who chuckled at her silliness.

"Hope, you're fine. Rube, sorry Ellie can't come to you." Elyhea said, taking a deep breath. She should sleep now.

i have to somehow come up with another potion tomorrow. One, that doesn't slowly kill me. She thought.

As she looked at the bottle on the bedside table. She grabbed it. "One last time." she said. Before drinking the whole bottle. Coughing a little.

"Sorry, Dan." she said before falling deep into her slumber.
