This time Lexie tried so hard not to ask Ciel about his type of relationship with Isiah, the first day they met he told her that he was waiting for Isiah to come back and she was stunned by his answer.
Isiah was dead yet this kid kept saying that he was still alive and that he was going to come back soon.
She was too upset whenever she heard him say his name or speak about him, and the most disturbing part was that she didn't know why she was feeling that way . The source of thɪs content is noⅴelfire.net
The sky was always gray these past days and the weather was hotter than usual. Those who came from other districts couldn't recognize the temperature difference but those who lived their whole lives in district one knew that something was wrong.
She managed to make Ciel some clothes to wear and took the dress he was wearing for the past 2 months and hid it, it was something that belonged to her sister and she was never going to lose it.
Lexie knew that the new leader Yogev took care of all the bodies and that he buried all of them, she actually saw a bunch of his mages taking her family's bodies to the collective funeral and she wondered that day if he was insane .
The rage inside of her wad grew so fast, now even her breaths were burning her from the inside, remembering that she failed the mission and she got to live after that .
She spent a lot of nights crying alone in the institution, usually, she cried whenever she saw Ciel, looking at how cute he always remembered her with her sisters.
Only a few weeks before the triple full moon she started to actually prepare herself for the worst-case scenario, it was in the past event that her life changed completely.
However Ciel was so calm, he was a kid and he had his fears and sad moments but the fast pace of him regaining his calmness was beyond normal.
Ciel's eyes held a huge pain that he was not revealing to her and she wondered always what kind of things he buried inside of his heart, from his looks she was sure that he was not from district 1, and for him being here and above all the odds with Isiah was something weird.
Isiah whom she knew growing up was never this way, he was so rude to the point where she was sure that he would never help anyone let alone help a kid in the middle of the apocalypse .
"Orange…orange " Ciel said interrupting Lexie's thoughts, she was surprised because he was holding a basket of oranges, the last time she checked she knew that the entire forest was damaged which made her question him very hard to know from where he got that basket .
Ciel smiled innocently then said:" I …fixed it "
"Fixed it ? Fixed what ? The tree ? "
Ciel didn't know whether he did a good or a bad thing, so he just nodded while putting the basket on the ground. Lexie was so surprised, she said with excitement on her face:" you can use magic ? How ? "
He didn't answer her other question, she knew that she went too far so she took the basket from him after drawing a big smile on her face, then said to him:" Little Ciel has a huge power I guess, you are still young yet you did something incredibly amazing"
Ciel smiled back at her then said:" I can't fix a lot …just one..just one "
He didn't explain to her in a good way, but she was able to understand that he could fix only one a day .
Lexie went hunting in the morning, after the fire in the forest, most of the animals died which left all the people there with minimum resources.
Since she met Ciel they were always eating some fruits he grabe with him, she wanted to make him a good meal but she came back after hours of searching with empty hands, she felt devastated, she cried all her way to the institution where she knew that he would be waiting for her .
She was not the type to cry for such small things, she still can't remember when was the last time she cried before all the sequence of events.
She had to make sure that she was not followed by anyone before going to the institution. Ciel was waiting for her in one of the classes just as she asked him.
When their eyes met she felt like she was not worth staying with him and she was not going to cook him a decent meal, her magic was not that strong , she learned how to use it to defend herself but not to cook or summon things to cook .
" I am sorry, " She said the moment she saw him walking toward her with a cute smile on his face .
"I brought fruits," Ciel interrupted her.
He peeled orange and gave it to her right away, she wiped her tears before he sees them then said:" Only two weeks before the triple full moons, and still you buddy didn't show up"
Ciel was surprised by her expression so he replied as he was planning to sit on the chair next to him:" I want to stay with him"
"Why ? Why do you want to stay with someone like him? You know that he is not a good person , right ? Well….please don't be afraid ,I am not going to do anything but I just want to make sure that you know all the facts about him, he is not a good person Ciel, Isiah never cared about anyone, and I am afraid that he would only hurt you once you meet again "
" Isiah…is …good " He replied to her, very scared of what she was saying .
"I really don't want you to stay with him if he is alive as you are saying, you didn't even stayed for a long time with each other "
