Chereads / Electra City / Chapter 18 - Chapter Eighteen

Chapter 18 - Chapter Eighteen

"She finally went to sleep. Don't be afraid, young light, ask me your worries..."

"Madame Ash. First of all, thanks for welcoming me. I just met Electra. But she's a friend I must---"

"liars don't live long to lie, did you know that?? electra may tolerate your fake sympathy but, don't taunt me. or I'll just obliterate you and stupid city.."

"..I am sorry. I want to know Electra's Past."

"hmm.. it seems she went through human horrors once more.. we are war orphans. the difference, electra lived a far worse life than i, the queen of the underworld. enough to make her weak. still, she's far stronger than me. she just never had the heart fot it.. but seeing her today, things have changed. she changed. i don't recognise my friend.."

"Then, stop her. Don't let her lose herself in killing. You can still help her.. You are her friend, right?"

"hope won't bring you far.. the thing that changed my friend is not human, but something supernatural. i won't gave time to deal with that.. i'm sorry, but the electra i knew is gone.. you must cope with it, or she might kill you. i warned you, young light.."

"I don't want to. There's enough war with the villain association. Enough death. Down City doesn't need more people like Electra. It won't survive..."

".....it seems without knowing, that you fell in love with her...amusing[Smiles]..."

"Huhh!? No!!?? She's a---"

"a what!?"

"Nothing. Sorry for bothering you, good night.."

"if you still manage to keep her in check for three years, i might have a way to get our electra back.. but don't ever let her lose the only link she had before changing into her current self.. understood??"

"Y-Yes!!"

Queen of the Underworld. Senseless, humanless. A real monster... Maybe the rumors about her were wrong.. To me, she shines brighter than my own mother....

"...stop hiding.. i thought you were asleep. why are you here??"

"I came to see if my friend was still my friend.. Am I wrong?"

"i feel you... but keep your killing intent in check, stranger. you may posess my electra's body, but, i will still kill you if you try something funny."

"Da--Maria.. I'm Electra. I just lost what made me human. But I'm still the Electra you knew..."

"electra promised to never kill last time i saw her."

"I know. And it's me.. You don't know what happened to me after the cold war. You know shit. You just expect me to be the good samaritan I said I would be.. But I went through hardship just like you. I tried to live a carefree and romantic life. I tried to stray from the horrors we were in the past. Instead, I got betrayed by the person I loved, used and left for dead. What do you want me to do?? Pardon once more and go fuck myself... No! I want to be like you. I saw on TV all the carnage you did to the Xmerican state. I saw you and I felt, freedom. I want that too. I've had enough of looking down. I went to Down City for its peacefulness. And I was wrong. There's no such place as peaceful on this shitty globe."

"....don't go dying on yourself, then. cone find me if you ever need help.. i'm still your sister...."

"..Thanks..."
