"Sarah? "
A seemingly confused start muttering aloud catching the attention of the woman at the door.
"Escuse me but do I know?" ask the woman with a confused look her eyes bright red staring right at him intently.
"She's not supposed to be hear why is Sarah hear it soon for us to meet and that scar..." ed thinks to him self to while staring at the woman.
"Sorry I thought you were someone else ha" ed trys to brush it off as misunderstanding but it just mad the atmosphere awkward.
"Wait your Lady Morgan right that show...from that Holo stream Mm uh Dreamers, I almost didn't recognize you with out your signature mask and pink gloves. " says an overly enthusiastic May as she dashs to the the woman grabbing her arms forgetting the concept of personal space.
But the moment contact was mad the woman had what look like an allergic reaction. At that moment the woman's eyes became empty her skin pail and legs began to tremble and a cold swat drip from her back.
Fear was the only thing she felt as it consumed her hart. Her mind began to race followed by her Hart beat. *Death, death* that was the only think in her mind as she stared at May and Ed as if looking at some eldritch terror. She soundly pushed may back a d tried to calm her nerves.
*That her the foreigner lover did you see how she pushed that girl away. She thinks she's beeter than us. She just an only cares for those urchins, that just an excuse to wast tex payers money on those social parasites.*
*Wait that Lady Morgan, now that you Mansion it. I could even recordnize her with out that freaky mask. That scar it's hideous no wonder she wears a mask what a freak.*
The other customers being to whisper and mutter they're disapproval of Sarah. The waiter not sure how to respond just remain quit including Ed.
The comments if the customer broke her trans and she began to calm down. He took out her gloves and a napkin and held it to her nose. After lightly blowing she placed it back in her purse making sure it was secure.
*Tch*
An irritated Sarah removes hers gaze from Ed and may. She glares at the others those muttering at the back. Her fearce gaze is enough to silence the nay of sayers.
"Cowards." she mutter while looking at the onlookers. "Sorry about that my skin is really sensitive so Id prefer no to be touched "says Sarah while bowing to may as an apology.
"Anyway that me public enemy number uno, I'm supprised your stiff friend there was able to recordnize.Are you two fans"asks Lady morgan
"Yeah I am not sure about Ed there."
"Ow so his name is Ed... Well it nice to meat you Edward " says Sarah with a soft smile hiding a antagonistic aura towards him.
Ed remain as silent and looks at Sarah's with a confused gaze. He just bowed with out shaking her hand and returned the kitchen.
"OKAY SHOW OVER BOYS BACK TO WORK! "
The other waiters rushed back to work as if nothing has happened.
Sarah and may grabbed a seat began chating. Ed would occasionally catch Sarah staring at him but just pretended no to have noticed.During the intire conversation Sarah kept her hand in her pocket.
"um miss Morgan looks like your noise is bleed" says may with a concerned tone has she searches her hand bag for a tissue.
The nose bleed was not the only thing Strang with Sarah as her eyes to were blood shoot. It was as if the blood inside her was wanted to escape.
"It's nothing, it happens every now and then" says Sarah as she grabbed the tissue from mays hand to clean the mess. "is it becouse I touched you?" may ask with a sad tone."Dont worry about about it it's just one more thing that keeps my life interesting" says may with a smile trying to reassure may.
After a few hours Ed's shit had ended.
But before he could leave the dinner he went to pay station at the conner of the staff room to receive his weekly pay. Well some of it as most was deducted to pay for mays meal.
"Sigh, guse I'm having salt water soup for dinner again" ed thinks to his self in malencony as the he receives his pay.*ding is account has been topped up* a robotic voice from his phone suddenly informs him of the transaction.
Before he could wallows is self pity began to feel a sharp thud at the back of his head. It took him by surprise and nocked him down to his knees. *dreep, dreep*As he look down at the door tiles he saw red droplets dripping from his noise.
Hes eye too became blood shoot as Sarah did. His vision began to blur and skin pailed. He clenched his teeth and fists trying to over come the agony but it was to no avail.
*gasp, gasp*"Recoil! " in his agony Ed muttered just a sing word over, and over again as if to keep himself sain while trying to stay conscious. With an instant his breathing began to slows but Hart kept on racing.
His muscles begin to twitch uncontrollable and he eyes cryed with a black liquid with the consistency of blood. It is as if he is getting a seizure.
Like an ery silance after a storm ed body suddenly went still. His eyes remain open but where just empty mirror reflecting the blood stain floor. The black liquid that was leaking out of his ears and eyes had disappeared leaving no evidence of its existence
"..." silants he body lays still his minds gone sliant his near life less body resemble that of a still born.
Recoil is to spring backwards under a powerful force being fired. The backlash of a force, the more powerful the power is the more intens the recoil.
In this story a recoil the backlash of using inhasment or powers. It occurs because such powers are not created buy evolution to the human body has not adapted to using them.
If one over uses a power with out rest or if the ability to powerfull for their body the recoil could end up killing the user.
*huff, huff, huff*
Ed suddenly jets back to life but his once blood shout eyes where know clear as glass his normal black her now a pure innocent white. His body thinner a shorter then normal.
The biggest change was the fact that he had no mouth. Just a patch of pail skin where it was supposed to be.
As he open his eyes his vision start to clear and before was simingly infinite hall way. The place pure White and no matter from which angel you looked there wasn't a single shaddow not even under Ed.
Rather he saw a vast nearly infinite void of white that seemed to stratch on for eternity. When he look down he saw that he had no shadow and his feat were slightly translucent.
With in this void flowed a wighed river of what looked like black thick tar whos waves were slow and clam however. Every so often with in the stream what looked like hand and faces those who'd submerged would try to swim back up filling the tranquil space with deep gurgling noise of something drowning with in
Beyond the oozy River floated a shabby boat with rotten wood. It's oar was missing so it was stuck in the middle. On the boat sat a humanoid figure waring a tone black coat covering it face and most of it body.
The only exposed part was it left hand. It was srony and had a grey tone the nails where over grown some where cracked and unkept, it hanged on the edge of the boat holding a smaller arm that was submerged with the river. It would occasionally moan.
This where moans filled the this white void with a somber melancholic atmosphere. Like a animal that just lost its new born or a mother learn her child has an incurable disease. This figure ignored Ed and just kept cling to that other bing in the river.
*Grating Ash walker welcome to God blind spot/Yes, Yes welcome to Edan*two feminine voices broke the the tranquillity of the void and greated Ed.
"... " ed couldnt respond as his mouth was covered. But word were no necessary for one to see the the coution pouring out of his body directed towards the voices.
* Father has grown stronger due to your precious deaths hell soon awaken /Yes, Yes the starless night draws near.. "
As the voices kept up the espesition dumb Ed became irritated and he snapped his fingers realising a strong gust of wing silenceing them. Though this was enogh to silence the the staring being in the boat simply ingnored them all.
*Geez what crawled up you ass not our foult you got your ass killed a again/Yes, Yes sir my Alpha speaks then truth *
*so what brings you hear eddy boy / the trauma of his last dive almost escape the river Stix cousing what you call Recoil. "After hearing this Ed looks a the river Bank and sees a a humanoid creature trying to crawl out of the black water known as the river Stix.
He slowly approachs the figure as he kneels down for a closer look we see that it has the same figure as him but it skin is completely black due to the river. As he reaches out his out his hand and places it on the creatures head a single tear flows froms his eyes.
This catches the attention of the being in the boat seeing this it raises it other hand and point it frail fingers at the and the thing at the bank.
*Clank, Clank*
The sound of slowly being to fill the air. Out of no we're black matalic chains zip out of the mysterious being on the boats cloak grabbing the creature on the river bank and sending it to bottom. After that it returns to it rutin and watches the river holding something hand.
*the remnants has been delt be grateful zombie/Yes Yes recoil should be undone at least for now*
"Beta will erase some of those peasky memories as to not get the attention of father and his Horse-man, Beta will restore them when nessary /Yes, I shall"
This two voices where nown as Alpha and Beta, one in the same but different entity's. Beta was smerky yet obidant to he sister but dislike Ed. While Alpha was incharge but lazy so beta did most of the work in mantainh the Garden.
*since most of your late memories will be sealed some of your previous abilities will be locked./yes father in unaware of in this loop so unleashing your ability will draw his attention and remember what happened last time that happened.*said may with a condensanding tone.
Ed look down in shame and sandness
*this is to incinviant Beta restore him a bite so he may speak./Yes, yes sister ti's done. *after beat said that a small dagger appeared in front of Ed. It was mad of jade and had a dragon engraving.
The blade floated in front of Ed and started carving his face, it cut open the skin that was covering his mouth. However ed just kept calm and didn't over react
*hope you didn't suffer sir/... *
" Suffer no it just felt like face was being slit in two and my muscles were individually cut out so Im it quit peachy "
*rude much!!/... * yells Alpha angrily at Ed
" sigh, there something different in this loop, to many thing are inconsistant"
*are you referring to that girl May? /... *
"yeah she wasn't in any of the other loops"
*this was bound to happen of course some thing will be different it not like we're rewind time, we simply erase the existing branch in time and transfer your consciousness each time. And in the new universe off curse some things are different./...*
"yeah I know that already what not sitting right with me is Sarah's scar, it to soon for her to get it" says Ed while walking around the white void.
*it probably the old man.. /impossible father is unaware of our meddling thoughs far the must be another reason besides father still slumbers *says Beta interrupting Alpha.
"huh there's no point thinking about it this early in the game, besides I can feel someone messing with my body out side so I'll just be on my way.
*don't forget the pact /yes the oath must not be broken * the two try to tell Ed while he head the opposite site direction from the doors.
Ed simply keeps walking starigh in the void along side the river bank. The closers he walks by the river a few hands start reaching out for him, but e just ignores them like who one ignores incets.
After a few minutes of walking he sighed than walking in the river. As he swam through the river. Even though hand tryed to grab him down he just kept swim ignoring them.
Strang sphere floated down form a deep vortex which then started suck him down.
*Tha pure mpilo energy try no to get lost with the the other souls zombie-man /yes failure would be failure to uphole the oath*
As the two disembodied voice said they're goodbyes to Ed feel deeper and deeper in the pite. "this time it be different and..." as trys to make an emotional fear well his inteupted by Alpha.
*yeah we don't care just keep your word, what you do in these live doesn't concern us/lets him have his heroic exit alpha*
A disheartened Ed jumps head first into the void leaving the two to argue. *he's gone/ yes he's quite rare isn't he alpha*
*yes a mortal who can retain sanity after somany deaths and failures is quit rare but not unique./ he is a fool he should just enter a enter the river and stop this foolishness .
*that would be a violation of the oath Beta/I spouse that true insanity is the act to doing the something muitple time and expecting a different outcome. *
*I suppose where all insain /Prahaps we are*
