Chapter 21: Points Of View

I watch wide-eyed at Lisa, while she stops her injury from bleeding, she freezes her wound and then gets up, she starts to walk around trying to see something.

I looked at her dumbfounded as she started to walk with an injured calf. I feel like I can move my body now and my body moves towards Lisa, her head moves suddenly at me after hearing the sound of me approaching her.

"A-Ava..." She says while her eyes are panicking watching me, I look from closer the carcasses, and the smell of iron gets strong with every step I make.

 "I d-didn't intend to kill them, I-I just defended myself!" she stutter while talking as she explains what happened even if I have seen all.

When we are close I embrace her trembling body, she stops trembling and falls to her knees.

*She is probably worried about what will happen to her if somebody sees this, I don't care about what she did, she just defended herself.*

Holding her in my arms I say, "Don't worry Lisa I will help you." I feel her place her head on my right shoulder as she starts to cry.

She looked cold when she killed those bandits that kidnapped me and the other elven children, now she just can't control her emotions like before, it's almost as if she changed through time.

Minutes pass, luckily the alley where we were wasn't really known by the people, we should go to the castle because it was late, and with me ignoring my parents there is a possibility that some guards are already searching for me.

"Lisa, we should go to the castle." I say before looking at her and then her clothes, "... We should do something about these first."

"Mhn... Yeah." She says as I take off my coat and give it to her.

Luckily it's enough big to hide her stained clothes.

"Let's go," I say to her as I grab her hand and exit the alley.

The walk for returning to the castle was uneventful as I concealed myself in the crowd.

ELIZABETH WINDHORN POV:

I glance at the rumor I heard behind me for founding Ava looking at me.

My whole body trembles as I see her, I was surrounded by dead people, stained clothes with blood coming from other people, and she saw all the mess I have done.

She steps closer to embrace me, and her arms develop my body.

*Why she isn't running away? She is hugging somebody who just killed some people*

"A-Ava," I say looking at her while my eyes start to get wet.

I start to tell her what happened and then I feel her hug getting tighter.

My body doesn't support it and I fall to my knees tired of all that happened and with tears dripping from my eyes.

*I can't believe I'm crying for this... I used to kill so many people in my previous life, I blocked all of my emotions to continue to fight against all, I never felt happy or hugged by someone like Ava, her pale arms are soft and they don't hurt me.*

I let myself relax to this sensation for some time before hearing Ava speaking, "Lisa, we should go to the castle." She says before she starts to look at my stained clothes, I can't use water because my vest would attach to my body and make my body get visible, "... We should do something about these first." She continues.

"Mhn... Yeah." I say as she starts to take off her coat and give it to me.

I envelope myself with the large coat, the coat is enough big to give me some free space.

"Let's go," Ava says as she grabs my still stained and dirty hand.

We walk in the crowded streets without problems, even without a coat she can conceal herself from all the people, luckily the coat conceals all of my stained clothes.

I grunt accidentally as I feel Ava going too fast.

"Sorry." She mutters not looking at me, she starts to walk slowly so I can walk without too many problems.

We finally reach the castle before hearing a voice shout.

"Where have you been?!" I hear the queen screaming.

Ava stops abruptly before the queen is in front of her, Emma suddenly slaps Ava, I watched dumbfounded at her while she starts to shout at Ava, we still hold hands together before Emma says something about it, "What about you, Elizabeth?! Didn't you tell her to come after the training?!" She grabs our hands before detaching them.

The king stares angrily at Ava, taking part with Emma.

I look at Ava while she just looks at the ground as they scream and lecture her before grabbing her wrist and taking her inside the castle.
