Chapter 7 Healed

Olivia could not tear her eyes away from Little White, it was like she was entranced by it. She swore she heard him speak.

" What are you"

Sweat dripped down her face as deadly auras curled around her, like suffocating shadow tendrils. It was so strong that she was suffocating.

"Little white"

His eyes were locked on her system. Ignoring her call. 

With a flick of her wrist, the system disappeared. Little white turned towards her, his eyes held hidden emotions.

" You want me to find the sacred flame..why?"

She had been to the sea of her consciousness, and had met Eritrea who told her to find the sacred flame. But there was no way Little White would know about that.

The snake stared at her before curling into a ball, he yawned, his eyes closing.

It was like everything that had just happened was an illusion to Olivia. She knew deep down that there was more to him, his aura was powerful than that of the S beast she had encountered.

"And…. How did he lure those Craghoul monsters away."

Olivia couldn't help but to think about it. She was certain that this little snake is not what it seems like.

" Should I tell Alexa?"

Her brows knitted together, " Maybe I should study it more."

Her mind wandered to the conversation she had with Alexa " so I will meet the others soon."

The pillow deepened underneath her " Sacred flame, chaos, Monsters, Gods. How am I connected to all this? I must find the sacred flame."

Her eyes fluttered closed, comfortably wrapped in the blanket of darkness.

Little white eyes snapped open, he slithered closer to her, his eyes staring at her face.

Whoosh.

A gold blinding light filled the room, it hues caressing Olivia´s skin.

But as soon as it came it was gone. A man figure was lying beside her, his long silver white hair spread on his pillow, his curious grey eyes staring at Olivia, his finger poking at her cheek. A smile creeped on his rosy pink lips.

His eyes turned grim when he saw how bad she was injured. His eyes turned gold, his hand on her forehead. Gold energy swirled around them.

After he was done, he turned into his snake form again, a look of disappointment crossed its eyes.

 " I am too weak, I need more cores."

Its eyes fluttered close.

Morning came, but there was no announcement of its wake. The light in the bunker remained as it was.

The door to Olivia's room burst open.

" Time to wake up."

A voice woke Olivia, who seems to be having her best sleep in ages.

Her eyes fluttered open, stretching as she yawned.

The nurse's eyes widened in surprise, she was speechless.

" What?.. Do I have something on my face?"

Her brows furrowed in confusion, her hand touching her face here and there. But.. she failed to realise that, she was feeling no pain.

" I will check on you"

With that, the nurse came closer to her, she started to unbandage her wound.

Grasp.

Olivia, who was bracing herself for the pain, felt nothing but a grasp from the nurse. The nurse stumbled back in shock.

" What.. how did you… how is it even possible?"

Olivia's eyes turned grim, she looked at her body and it was as if she had never been injured, her skin even looked better than it was before she went to fight with the monsters.

Her cold yet surprised eyes turned towards the nurse. Their eyes locked in contact. Dread in their eyes for different reasons.

Olivia cautiously climbed down her bed.

" What's your name?"

Olivia´s voice was cold and daunting, she knew if this matter escalated, she would gain attention from the higher up. She skillfully opened her hand, little white slithered to her.

The nurse who could feel the change in Olivia´s aura, stumbled closer to the door, she immediately turned around to dash out. But.. she was too late.

Olivia's hand immediately grabs her, pushing her against the wall. Her eyes moved around with uncertainty. She doesn't know how she would threaten her not to talk about what she has seen.

" I don´t know how it happened, can you promise not to tell anyone?"

The nurse nodded her head hastily. Healers do not have affinity to fight, she needed to leave, she could feel a stronger aura beside her. It was so powerful and suffocating, that she felt shivers down her spine.

" Betray her, i will find you, and give you an agonising death"

A voice threatened, in her head. Her eyes widened in surprise, she was the only one who heard the voice.

" I Promise, I will keep this secret."

" Wasn't that too easy? What about if she is playing a trick on me?" Olivia's eyes throw daggers at her.

" i don't believe you"

" You should because my flaw is truth"

Dread etched on Olivia's face " it means you can´t lie right?"

" Yes, so you should believe me"

" Believe you, isn't this like shooting myself in the leg? You are going to spill the beans, if you are asked"

Olivia´s hand unknowingly tightened around her throat. The nurse's hands clawed at hers.

" Too tight, too tight" she squawked.

Olivia rolled her eyes at her, letting go of her. She didn't know why her hand tightened, but she couldn't take a life.

Olivia took a deep breath, her hand tugging slightly at her hair.

" What do we do now, we can´t let them find out about this."

" I have an idea"

"Let's hear it."

Olivia looked at her eagerly. Her eyes glinted with hope.

" I can do a makeup on you, and nobody is going to know"

" But we don't have any makeup tools" her shoulders slump in defeat. The higher up will turn her into a lab rat. 

" But how the hell did I get healed that fast, I don't have that ability."

Whoosh.

" TaDa"

Olivia's eyes opened in surprise, " You can conjure things?"

" Yes, I am a healer, I have the ability to conjure anything I want."

Her voice a little boastful. She started to paint woundlike injuries on her.

" You promise to let me off, right? And tell the god that he should not give me an agonising de ...."

The door suddenly bursts open.

" What is going on here?"

Alexa's cold voice echoed in the room.
