Chapter 25.

When Alisa returned home,she felt weird,like her mana and stamina was just fumbled with.

(She doesn't remember anything that happened because the voice that was inside erased her memories.)

Mommy! You're back! I thought you forgot us! Ming jumped,squealed and hugged Alisa. Okay,okay,I'm just exhausted because I've been flying places to places,that's all. Those days felt like months,Mom, Xuan said. Yeah,I can't argue there,Xia added.

Okay,I'm going to get some rest,if you need anything,I'll be in the study,Alisa said while going upstairs.

*sigh* Then she went to take a bubble bath. She went and stayed in the tub for a while.

You can't even remember the ones you love and the one that meant the whole world to you. You keep ignoring it,but you can't escape it. People close to you will only end up dying because you can't remember,a little girl's voice said. Alisa inhaled deeply so as to connect with her core. And as soon as she did,she said,Who are you? And what are you talking about? If my hunch is right,you must be the one who is always controlling my body and giving me those weird dreams,Alisa pointed out.

Yes,I have. But do you have any idea where you come from? The voice said. Yes,I'm an aristocrat of the vampire race and the daughter of the deceased Arthur and Elaine. The voice chuckled and said, Go and ask that man with the green hair,Tatsumi,was it? to tell you where you really come from.

You can tell me. Tell me,Alisa said. I can't. You'll die if you don't do it yourself. Caelia...... Then there was a pause. What did you just say? Alisa said eagerly. I said find out for yourself, she said. No,you called me by a name. What did you exactly call me? Alisa said frustrated. Find out for yourself, the voice said and then disappeared.

She got out of the tub,wore her lounging clothes and went to the study. Tatsumi,she called out. Yes, miss,Tatsumi answered. I want you to tell me where I come from. That's an order not a request,Alisa said coldly. Queen Elaine said never to tell you,Tatsumi stammered. Tell me now! I'm not asking I'm demanding,Alisa said fiercely.

Okay,I'll tell you. It was the day Elaine was giving birth,Tatsumi said seriously.

Tatsumi touched Alisa's temple and she was able to see what was happened back then.

Flashback.....

Scalpel...Scissors...Megumi said.

Look,she's okay,Arthur said while looking at Elaine and their baby.

Arthur....Elaine...you're baby....she's dead,Megumi said while gritting her teeth. No.......Elaine shouted. Arthur stood there while tears were flowing. Arthur wiped his tears and hit Elaine's acupoint and she fell into a deep sleep.

What happened to the Young Mistress! Tell me, Megumi,please,A past Tatsumi said flustered. Her stamina,mana,powers, everything,the flow of power within her was equivalent to Ariella's and Ariana's combine while she was just born. She couldn't take it. And her heart just...stopped,Megumi sadly explained. Tatsumi let go of her shoulders and left the harem hospital. Stop! It's raining heavily and you'll catch ice heart. It's very painful,Megumi tried to follow him. He stopped and said,Megumi, just leave me alone. I'll be fine. Then he left.

(Ice Heart; A condition where when one contracts the cold when it's both raining and snowing at the same time. When you are infected,one's heart freezes and beats a maximum of two time per minute.)

When Elaine woke up,her wounds and fractures healed up. She said coldly, Arthur,I'm going home, don't follow me. I'll be there before you know it. But....Okay. It's snowing and raining,you'll catch Ice Heart. Just....leave me alone. Then she left and walked home. Arthur and Tatsumi behind her,they saw what looked like a teenage girl carrying a white swaddle. She waved her finger and a beautiful black and golden cot appeared out of nowhere.

What are you doing? And what is that? Elaine asked coldly. Are you here to harm my lady? I'll kill you, Tatsumi said ready to kill her.

(Is that.....me? Alisa asked. Yes,miss,Tatsumi answered.)

She turned around and saw it was a little girl with blue and golden garments and had lavish sky blue hair. I'm not here to hurt anyone. But if push comes to shove,I'll have to kill you,she said coldly. Her navy blue eyes looked at them with quiet bloodlust and coldness.

My name is Nimuë. I only exist to protect this baby. But where I live with my lords is way too dangerous. She must live,she said coldly.

It must be fate because you just lost your baby,she said. How do you know that? Tatsumi asked. It doesn't matter. You have to take care of her no matter what,understand? Nimuē said coldly and looked at them intently. Elaine flew quickly near the cot and carried her with such gentleness. Your name is Alisa, meaning great happiness.

Good,Nimuē said. I can't tell them her identity. If they know too much,they'll die a very gruesome death,Nimuē thought. Then she disappeared.

Tatsumi let go of Alisa's temple and she asked,Do you know that mysterious girl's origin? No,she didn't tell us,she just gave us you and left,Tatsumi said.

And Elaine said that there are two of her brother's kids will be coming to live with you,Tatsumi said nervously. There was a pause. Tatsumi started tensing. Are they annoying? Do they pry into other people's business? Alisa asked while eating her snacks. He was shocked that Alisa didn't flip out.No, they don't. They mostly spend time reading,Tatsumi said. Okay,fine. But if they're nuisances.....they die,Alisa looked at him coldly. He gulped and said, Okay,miss. I shall take my leave. It's been three years since my lady and her husband died,she didn't cry and weep but she took the lives of every single soul that conspired to kill them. She has been cold to everyone even Xia and the others. She's seventy years old today. She doesn't want to celebrate, Tatsumi thought.

After he left,a picture appeared in her mind. It was Caelia and Nimuē laughing.

Why would I suddenly think of that? Alisa massaged her temples. It must be that voice acting up again!

*sigh*You don't even remember Nimuë.

After a few hours,Xia,Ming and Xuan left for Chaldea and Alisa stayed at home all alone.

She fell asleep on the study's bed.

In her dream......

Where am I? Alisa thought. That's....Caelia and Tristan across from her. Who is that girl next to him? Alisa thought.

I just don't love you anymore,Tristan said. And pierced Caelia seven times. Caelia stammered, A man's.....word is.... untrustworthy.

*gasp* What the hell was that? Why did Tristan betray Caelia? But he said that he loved her,didn't he? But most importantly, why did I feel hurt,angry betrayed and rage inside me?

The answer to that. Oh,It's super easy but you can't remember that too,I'm afraid. The voice said.

I'm sorry but I have to take over temporarily,it added.

A pair of huge white wings appeared on her back again.Then she sat on the window frame and said,Chikai! And then the white book with golden floral patterns appeared with the golden feathered pen.

She flipped the next page and started writing,

I'll scream out a love,

That will never stop ringing,

Taking everything in where I stand,

For that's where our light lies.

With unyielding emotions in tow,

I'll live through the ends of hope,

With you tied to a dream.

A beginning will someday,

Be born from our own hands.

And with how kind you are,

I'm sure your voice will be able to change the world.

People can't rise up alone.

So let's reach out

Our hands together,

Towards a future beyond limits.

I'll scream out a love,

That will never stop ringing,

As we butt heads and come

To understand each other,

Creating light along the way.

I'll run through my emotions of giving up,

I'll be the one to live the edge of my hopes,a dream connects me with you,

Every time I blame someone,when I'm afraid of making mistakes,

I realized,that it's truly me at who I should be looking.

Those words of yours that changed me,move my heart,

I still seek an unseen yearning in my throbbing heart,

The winds of your winding feelings,

They passionately swayed in the depths of your eyes,

You won't turn back.

I start a journey through the shining days,

I take my steps to edge my hopes,a dream connects me to you.

I don't want to lose to sadness,I want to conquer hatred.

I want to come face to face with my trembling brittleness and overcome it.

So,I say this to you,even if someone laughs at me,

I will continue to protect that voice that lives along with me.

I'll scream out a love,

That will never stop ringing,

Taking everything in where I stand,

For that's where our light lies.

Then she closed the book and put the pen on top then she said,Kurito! And it disappeared.

Then she said again, Chikai! And a black book with golden floral printings appeared but with a devilish red feather pen appeared with it.

The voice said,What I'm writing right now in this book will give you a little push so as to remember everything. You know the meanings of everything you've written in the three books.

The she started writing,

*Hizashi to ame,

(Watashi wa sakini susumimasu......Sore ga watashi o kizutsuketa to shite mo,anata ga mò watashi no soba ni inakute mo,watashi wa sakini susumimasu.

Nē,watashi ga anata o aishi,jikan no awari made anate no soba ni iru koto o shide kudasai*!)

Then she closed the book and said,Kurito! And it disappeared along with the feathered pen.

After Alisa gained full control,she said,That damned voice! Always taking over without my consent!

Then she went down stairs and started singing a song.
