Chapter 20.

Finally,I'm home,let me take a quick shower then make myself myself something to eat,Alisa said while slipping into her black fluffy flip flops. She took a quick shower,changed into her original hoodie, shorts and black sneakers and went to the kitchen to make herself one of her favorite desserts,Coffee Tiramisu with Assorted Berries on top.

After she finished making it,she left it to be refrigerated for twenty minutes to get its coolness and texture.

Then after twenty minutes of eating pocky,it was finally ready.

Now,tasting time. Mmmm....So good and delicious,if I do say so myself. Thanks Arthur and Elaine for teaching me how to cook and bake,Alisa said with melancholy in her voice.

Now,to continue my research,and research a little about vampires in different realms too,Alisa said while going upstairs to the study room with her snack.

Now,that I've settled I can now research to my heart's content and Xia,Xuan and Ming won't be in any danger whatsoever. Then she removed a book on on vampires of another realm on the shelf.

I'll only take a peek then I can go back to my real objective,Alisa said while sitting back with the book.

When she opened,she went in the same trans like state again.

What the? Again? Why me? Alisa groaned while running her fingers through her blonde hair. Where am I now? Huh? A class?

Alisa studied the place then she saw the girl with the silky raven black hair and emerald eyes wearing an attire that looked like a school uniform. A fitting black blazer with a matching skirt,a white shirt and she was wearing black heeless boots and tied a red bow around her neck instead of a tie.

She was sitting next to a boy with short hair but had a long braid at the back and he tied the end of it with a white bandage like band. His hair was the same as the girl's,silky raven black hair but had sky blue eyes and was wearing the same uniform but with pants and black low heeled boots.

Then the girl said coldly,Hey,Tristan, wanna go? Okay but Caelia,I wanna challenge you,okay? He said. Okay,what kind? she asked. Okay,the one who can fly the highest and fastest is the winner, okay? Tristan pointed out. Okay,the punishment of the loser is to hold the winner's hand and make them their favorite snack,okay? he added. Okay,let's go, Caelia said. Why did I say that! I can't do that! It's too embarrassing! Tristan mumbled while blushing and hiding his face.

Okay,1....2....3.....go! And they were off to the skies!

Tristan and Caelia flew higher and higher,Caelia went higher then Tristan tried to go higher but his stamina couldn't take then he went back to the ground and Caelia noticed him.

When he was squatting there he mumbled while running his fingers through her hair,What am I gonna do? I lost to her again! She'll keep teasing me until the day I die!

Caelia swiftly went near him and whispered in his ear,I won again! Ahh....When did you get down here so fast and how did your stamina handle that much gravity? Tristan said while covering his ears because they were beet red.

They started walking then a beautiful girl came out of nowhere and said,Lady Caelia,time to go home, your father and brothers are gonna be very livid when they find out that you're here. Okay,I'll be right there,Evaine,Alisa said.

How 'bout this? Hold my hand and I'll let you win okay? Caelia said while stretching her hand towards him. What? I....Tristan stuttered. You're cold,fierce yet gentle at the same time,just like me but you're personality is just like.....Caelia said. Nevermind,I'm going. See you tomorrow after school if I can come that is,she added. Okay,see you,Tristan said and stood as if rooted to the rooted to the ground looking at Caelia while her hair was flowing with the wind and her emerald eyes sparkling like the stars.

When Caelia started walking away,she mumbled,And here I thought I finally lost....

It felt like days passing by for Alisa watching the two of them challenging each other but Caelia always won every one of them,they eat and laugh together, Why am I seeing this? Alisa thought. What's the point? And I finally got something. Her name is Caelia. What a cute and unique name.

When Caelia reached home,she took a bath,changed her clothes then an empty book with a red cover with golden floral printings and started writing with her font handwriting,

Then she blushed a little,then someone opened the door,she abruptly closed the book and then she panickly said,What the hell? Can't you knock the.... Then she noticed that it was her elder brother. They....what's up,elder brother Meliodas? Is father summoning me,what did I do this time, Caelia said. No,I just came to check on you,can't I? Seems you're doing fine so I'll let you have your space and make sure you eat before bed,okay? He said while ruffing her hair then glanced at the book then left.

Jeez,that was close,Now,let me continue,

*sigh* I don't know why but.....Caelia said while holding the book on her chest.

Then a massive wind blew and changed the scenario, What the hell! Where am I again? Alisa thought.*gasp*

In the outside world.....

Hey Xia,don't you think Mommy has been acting weird lately? Ming said while eating her tiramisu. Yeah,I've noticed,Xia said while eating an onigiri. We'll ask after we've finished here but for now,let's eat our food,drink our blood bags and the elixirs and let's go finish the remaining classes,Xuan said standing.

In the book.....

Hey,what's with all the commotion over there? Caelia said. When she went to see what was happening,she saw Tristan bleeding to death due to spears piercing his heart like a pincushion. *gasp* Tears started flowing. What did you mages and you other bastards do to him? She stammered. Tristan! What did they do to you? Why? Caelia cried.

This.....is the...first time I've seen you....so emotional because you....always have that....blank and expressionless look on your face,Tristan chuckled weakly while trying to talk to her.

It's okay.....don't cry,okay?He said. I've been..trying to gather up the courage....to....Then abruptly he kissed Caelia with all he had. That.....I...love you....So save those....tears.... Remember.....that I'll always..... love you now and forever..... I love...Before Caelia could say it back,he quietly drew his last breath.

Get them out of the kingdom now! Those civilians said. How dare you do this to him! He had nothing but good in his heart but you killed him! Caelia said coldly while looking down. No! Tristan! Don't close those blue eyes of yours just yet! Please! You were actually my first love!

How dare you! Caelia said with tears in her eyes. She spread her wings,flew above the kingdom and said,Dies Irae! And the whole kingdom was destroyed in a flash apart from Tristan's body.

I'm sorry! I couldn't protect you! I wasn't there for you! Caelia actually cried while hugging his lifeless body. I'll bury you in our favorite place,Lake Pienes, remember? When you challenged me to make a sculpture using my mana and you lost to me again?She chuckled sadly.

Then after she buried him,all she could do is look into the horizon at the beach and cry.

Then Alisa's spirit went back to her body then the book closed itself.

I need to find out what those words in that red book means and all about Caelia and her brothers' life. I need to know everything, including that Tristan that boy Caelia fell in love with and made her cry. She actually didn't look like the crying type,Alisa said.
