Erika’s Vengeance (4/5)

“You looked a little weak from the encounter, i didn’t know what else to do.” Erika looked at the boy and asked if he did anything fishy, “Calm Erika, you need to rest…” he handed her the tea and sat on a chair opposite to Erika and watched as she drank the tea, “tell me… how long are you going to keep this up?” The boy didn’t understand what she was inferring about, “don’t play dumb with me Arkomanan… i know you’re just disguising yourself as the boy.” The boy laughed uncontrollably to the accusation and assured her that he wasn’t the Arkomanan, “ooookay? I have a question… where am i and what is this place that I’m in?” The boy explained that he wasn’t allowed to answered that question, “For reasons that you know too much also means that you can not know more as it could prevent the events not coming true… or that’s what I was told." There was a knock on the door and the boy stood up to go and check who it was, Erika slowly stood up too as she felt like she lost most of her energy, the boy opened the door only to be given a box addressed to Erika, "Erika! Theres a package for you... what?! Open until 040 MRC! But how is that... oh... right! I shouldn't have made a scene... I'll be in the toilet, crying if you need me." The dashed into the bathroom and started to sob, Erika opened the package to show a message from... Macro. Erika was shocked to learn about what she read.

The world around Erika started to go black as she returned to Zyber, she felt shock to what she read but knew that what was said mustn't be spoken, Erika stood up feeling like she had been gone for more than an hour, "Erika!" Azriel was shouting her name, Erika ran to Azriel as she saw that he was starting to feel weak. "(Coughs) Erika... you need to listen to me... the effects of the ice are taking its toll... I'm not sure how long it will be until I'm dead but... going back to why I'm really here, Cal and Macro have found Erin... we have to move!" Erika understood and followed Azriel to where Cal was...

She then stopped in her tracks and looked around her, she didn't know why she was doing these actions but to her, she felt this was important for her to do so, 'Erika! Erika! Erika! ERIKA!!!" Azriel began to cough violently, "The fate of the galaxy is depending on us and you just want to stand still like a statue? Let's go!" Azriel tried to get Erika to move but he couldn't, "tell me why?"

Azriel didn't understand what Azriel was referring to, "why do you care about saving the galaxy that you to be this unhinged?!" By the tone of her voice, Azriel felt like he had some explaining to do.
