Snippet #1780111

Aelita looked flustered. Yuko's comment about being heroes and Aelita starting a new life and getting revenge made her stomach twist with anger and sadness. She would rather be dead, honestly, than here, the death of everybody she loved still fresh in her heart. She ached to be with them no matter where they were. And Yuko actually had the ignorance to make that comment? Sure she didn't feel guilt, but she had to feel something. She was still alive. She had to have a heart. It must be a cold one though, for saying that, and it hurt Aelita. She looked down and allowed her blonde bangs to shade her leaking eyes.

She watched as one by one, her new teammates were forced to pay her for something they didn't necessarily want. None of them asked to be here, except Gui, sort of. And now they had to get rid of things..material or not...that was important to them. This made her start to think.

What else could she give that was important to her? She had lost everything, literally. It had all fallen, and with it her hopes and wants and desires. It had taken with it her home, her parents...her dear sister. It took her memories. There would be no more science class, no more sitting on her roof and watching the clouds all around her. She even missed the City elves. They were cruel and against everything she believed in, but at least they provided amusement for the Underground. The way that they pranced around all high and mighty and preached the word of Emeran was silly and unnecessary. Education was much more practical and important...

Then it hit her.

Her education was the only important thing to her that she had left. Aelita clenched both her fists and her teeth together, angry that she had to be stripped of her thirst for knowledge. What would life be like without it? She couldn't even imagine. She didn't want to imagine. Would she become like one of the City? An idiot who could barely speak, let alone understand everything going on. Would she even be able to remember anything from before the event? Hopefully, Yuko would leave her with some knowledge, at least who these people were and why she was here. But then again, she was a cold hearted witch.

The blonde, red-cheeked elf walked towards Domeki slowly, barely able to pick up her feet and move forward, barely noticing the red-headed newcomer that had just arrived. She quickly cast anaccusing, angry glance at Yuko and stopped before the black haired boy with glasses. "My token of appreciation at my heroism is the only thing I have left..." she stopped, not wanting to finish her statement. She almost considered her other option: staying with Yuko. But that would be worse than anything. She took a deep breath before continuing. "Take my education. Take my knowledge. Take the last thing I have, you evil bitch."

Suddenly, her mind went blank and she passed out.
