Colour And Strings

Chapter 41

*Encre's POV*

"Hey Lofn, why are you looking at us like that?" I asked, we were on our way to see the competition, it seems all the damage was fixed yesterdays and can be open today.

Lofn have been staring at me and Fallacy for a long time.

"Are you two couple?" She asked.

"No? Why do you ask?" I asked.

"Because look at you two! Both of you are holding hands like it's natural! So you know each other for a long time?" She asked.

"I guess you can say that, I'm not really sure when we started holding hand, do you know?" I turn to Fallacy. He thought for a moment then shake his head.

"So...you're soul mates?" Lofn asked.

I give a small giggle.

"It would be easier if we could tell who our soul mate is, I just feel happy and safe around Fallacy that's all, a bit like...umm...a rabbit and a...carrot with... Umm... Cake?...Or something...?" I said,

I felt Fallacy tighten his grip on my hand slightly, I look up to him to see if something's wrong but he just started laughing.

Then Lofn stared laughing as well until she's out of breath. After she recovers, she place her hand on my head for support.

"Encre, yo-you are too...what kind of example was that!!" She is still trying to control her laugh. I turn to my right to see Fallacy holding his waist while red started to spread though his face.

"I'm...started to feel offended," I stated to which caused them laughing more, so much that they just sat down on the ground and couldn't get up.

I look around to see everyone staring at us. I let out a sigh and dragged them away by their collar.

*Geno's POV*

I woke up to a hand pushing my arm repeatedly, is it time for medicine already? How long was I asleep for?

I turn to see who it is but no one was there, I felt my arm being pushed again and look down. It's a small child.

She's quite small, up to my waist I guess, pale and her eyes...well, they're all black except for her left eye which have a small white purple.

She's wearing a white hood and a red scarf, very much like mine, which surprised me. She's just staring at me with her lower half of the face below the bed.

"Are you Geno?" She asked, took me by surprise, somehow, I didn't expect her to talk.

I give her a small nod and she smiled.

"I'm Goth and I'm 6 years old, mum and dad sent me here saying I need to go here like my sister did and do everything she did which they didn't tell me," the little girl said.

"What am I suppose to do?" She asked me.

"Well, do you know why you know my name?" I asked.

"Of course I know! I also know daddy's name! And uncle and everyone I know's name!" She smiled.

I give a small smile and pat her head, I'm not too good with kids and even hate them a little so it's a little awkward for me.

"Do you know where your daddy is?" I asked.

"Yeah! But I don't know when he's coming so I need to wait here until he comes back," she said and attempt to try and get in the bed, I give her a hand and she sit on my leg.

"Can we play until daddy comes?" She asked, I hesitated, it's kind of troublesome and kids isn't exactly what I can handle but for some reason I couldn't say no to her.

"Sure, what do you want to play?" I smiled at her and she smiled back, look like I wouldn't feel so lonely after all.

After a few games she suddenly asked,
"Have you and daddy become friends yet?" She said

"I'm sorry, I don't know who your daddy is," I replied.

"You don't? Haven't you met him yet? I thought he was suppose to visit you," she said.

"No, I haven't had visits from you daddy I'm afraid," I said, thinking back to the people who visited me but none of them said they have a daughter.

"Oh, did I came too early?" She said,

"Its okay, I'm sure he'll come soon,"
I said, if she's so sure he'll come, I'll keep her company for now.

"Okay... I wanna see daddy soon..." she said with a sad face.

I look around to see if Reaper is back I though since he's suppose to take souls everyday, he must know how to deal with kids right?

"Okay, can you tell me what your father is called?"

"Azrael!"

"I see, then can you tell me more about yourself?" I replied.

"Oh! Well, I love sweets, I hate small knife! My sister say I'm very childish and play too much pranks but from my view, that's just part of the childhood!"

She sure talks a lot...it do feel very carefree.

"Ah! I haven't told you yet did I?" she suddenly asked

"Hmm? About what?"

"You're my mother,"

"....What?"
