Colour And Strings

Chapter 36

*Encre's POV*

"There, there, are you okay now Geno?" I asked the trembling little girl.

She gives a small nod.

"Hey!" I turn around to see Azure and Rufous out of breath, did they follow me?

"Listen girl, you best not just run off with that look in your face, me and Azure was scared sh*tless!" Rufous shouted and lean his back on the wall for support.

"I'm sorry, oh let me introduce you, this is Geno and Geno, this is Azure and Rufous,"

"Sup,"

"Hello!"

"Hi, it's nice to meet you Azure, Rufous," Geno said with a little bow as those two walked in and stood beside me.

"Anyway, are you feeling better now?" I asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm better now, thank you Encre," she said...wait...what?

"Geno...did you call me Encre?" How did she know?

"Yeah...someone told me..."

I grab her by her shoulder and shook her.

"Who told you that!" I shouted, the only ones who know about my name is God, a few angels, Uriel and Fallacy and they wouldn't come to tell her, I just know it.

Azure and Rufous look surprised by the fact I raised my voice.

Whoever know my real name is someone I don't know, he or she could put eveyone I know and me in grave danger if they start talking about it to someone else and the Devil heard it.

Even that person could be in danger.

"Encre, please stop, you're really loud," Geno said

I apologised but still insist on her telling me who it is.

She just smiled a bit.

"Its okay, that person wouldn't tell anyone or put anyone in danger," she said, almost as if she's reading my mind.

I sigh a breath of relief, if it's someone she trust that much for her to say that then I don't think I should worry.

I smiled back.

"I see, sorry for shouting then," I said.

"Seriously, I never thought you'll be like that, though you are just like Azure, he can be really loud sometimes," Rufous said as he cross him arm and Azure playfully punched his shoulder.

"What? He?" Geno asked I just put my finger infront of my lips and made the 'shh' sound for her to understand.

"Anyway, sorry I didn't visit you sooner, there was some trouble that held me back, I'm sorry if you felt lonely," I said but she just laughed.

"It's okay, it's not like you will never come back to see me, beside, I wasn't lonely at all,"  she said, very much to my surprise.

"...Did someone else visit you?" I asked.

"Umm...in a way I guess?" She said with a little frown.

"Was that person someone you know?" Azure asked

"Yeah, I denifently know him," she said...him?

"Did this person visited you yesterday?" Rufous asked.

"...Yeah...he did..." why is she answeing like that? So many pause.

"You talking about me?" I turn back to the door and saw a guy with raven black top, pant and cloak, he carries a bendy sword behind him, like the one Death carried.

Wait...

"Hey Geno, you're looking better today,"

"...? Reap-" before she could finish her sentence, the guy cuts in and turn to me.

"Hey, you must the girl who took care of her, I'm Eric, nice to meet you," he said and walked to the bed side...what's with the name Eric? It's everywhere!

"What are you doing in that outfit?" Geno asked,

"Its not that differen from yesterday, but you're looking cuter everyday," he chuckled a bit and lift Geno by her chin, almost forcing her to look at him.

"Wha-! Ugh! Shut up," Geno said, turning away and blushed like a red apple as Eric laughs and pets her.

Rufous, Azure and I just stare at the two with wide eyes, a bit like cats eyes. I don't know who he is but they seems adorable together. I think those two think so too!

"Okay guys, it seems that would like some times alone! Let's go back!" I said slightly pushing them.

"Yeah right, it's just getting to the good part, I'm going no where," Rufous said but Azure dragged him out.

"I'll visit you again soon okay Geno? See ya!" I give a wave and quickly walked out following Azure and Rufous.

*Geno's POV*

"Wait Encre!" But she's already gone.

"*Sigh* Okay why are you looking like that and what do you mean yesterday? You never left me." I asked Reaper.

"What? Miss my good look already?" He chuckled.

"Actually, how can you touch me? I thought anything you touches dies," I asked and he held out his hand.

"Gloves," he simply answered and laughed, I give a small laugh.

"Really? That's all it takes for you to touch me? Leather gloves?" I giggled.

He look at me in a really weird way that I slow down my giggle until it stopped.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

"You just look too adorable when you giggle," he said and close in on me, his right hand on my left cheek and using his thumb, he slowly move to my lips and caress my lower lip. His eyes stare almost intensely at my lips.

"It makes me want to eat you up," he finished his sentence. I suddenl felt the familar feeling of my blood rush to my face, I move away from him so fast I fell off my bed.

I can hear him laughing his head off, I slowly climbed up, I can see him laughing so hard that he's actually rolling on the ground with tears in him eyes.

This made me feel so embarrassed and angry.

"Shut up! If you have time rolling around laughing! Go get me a nurse! I need my shot now!" I shouted, he weakly got up, holding his stomach with one hand and wiping his tears with another.

"Alright, I'll be *chuckle* back in a bit," and he walked out. The blood is still rushing to my face, I got into my bed and pull the cover over my head, he's really the worst.

"Wow, I never seen him laugh like that," I quickly pull by cover down to see a man, I think he's around...24?

No, wait...who is he and why is he here? I grabbed the paper on my desk, ready to attck if he make any funny move.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't hurt you, put the paper down okay?" Did he know I'm using the paper for weapon?

"Since he's enjoying himself so much, I'll let him off just this time, take care of him for me okay miss?" He look down at me

"He's a really lonely guy, a bit like you, he hate what he is,"

...

"That's all I'm here for, I just want to see my little brother, he haven't return home in a long time," he look up at the ceilling
"It seems like the time here is different, what a perfect place to slack off," he chuckled.

Then he stood up.

"I'll get going now, see you soon," and with a blink of an eye, he's gone.
...what is that guy? How does he know all this?

I feel fear rising inside of me.
