It had been some time since that awful day that Vincent was hurt. Honestly, it really was such a waste of time. She became a sophomore and then the summer break began, and naturally, Elise at the top of her year across the city. She was given an award by the Minister of Education for her diligence and effort when really, she didn't try at all. She never needed to, did no one understand this? Mercedes and Serenity went on and became Juniors, it wouldn't be long until they became proper adults either, would it? "I'm heading out." Elise murmured, putting a gold jacket on with her white blouse and skirt, looking positively stunning if it wasn't for her face. "Okay, take care!" Cynthia was still hurt by Winter's lifeless form, comatose in the bed. No doubt she blamed herself. Security went up tenfold, and with Winter as a highly valued target, there were guards shuffled around to always be watching and following her once it was time for her to wake up.
"Gah! Hyah!" Elise threw her ninja star, the blade forming a beautiful arc as it slashed across the sky. She was in the woods outside the city - a special experimental room was being built but it wasn't yet complete, once it was finished she would be able to train inside the safety of her home - but that wasn't an option that was available to her right now. The blade of water returned to her hand, floating gently above it and she swung her arm again, the water star shooting out yet again. Rain continued to pour, and she raised her arm to shoot spikes of water from the sky onto imaginary enemies. Since Vincent's injury Elise had been honing her powers. She needed to be the strongest. Then, no one would be able to compete with her. Winter was useless - so it would make the most strategic sense to assign Vincent to guarding her at all hours of the day. If Elise could become strong enough to protect herself from all enemies, she wouldn't need to risk Vincent's life anymore.
The rain continued to fall and Elise felt someone approaching. She hid behind a tree, glaring through the darkness. There was someone there, she could feel them. Her rain was tracking their movements, forming a trace around their body shape. She knew this was 012, he was here. No doubt because of the rain, he knew she was here as well. "Come out, Elise, I know you're here somewhere." Obviously there was no way she was interested in an exchange of words with the evil. "Let's negotiate. It doesn't have to be a big fuss." 012 was calling, yelling over the rain, but the water drenching him could feel the metal waiting for her. He was here looking for a fight.
"I hope you had her killed. Allison, I mean. You know her as 009." 012 was still talking as if nothing was wrong. 009 was locked up and a special injection was given to her every night at precisely midnight to lock away her limbs, her eyes, her ears, so she would have nothing but regret. With her senses gone there was no escape for the rat. "She's a threat. She knows who we all are, so I think we would all benefit from having her eliminated." Elise couldn't help but agree. Letting that woman live was nothing but a mistake that would bite her in the rear eventually. "Oh, the knives? That's just for self protection, you know how it is. Come on, we can work together. All you gotta do is bring this knife into your house, and I'll take care of the rest."
If anyone was going to kill 009, it wouldn't be this rat. Elise would rather do it herself, even if it meant getting her hands dirty. She wasn't going to let any tool of 012's to enter her home and threaten those she cared for. Vincent wasn't here right now, he was still recovering from having exploded shards of metal pierce his chest and abdomen. Elise would simply leave the rain here over the forest and make her way back into the Chrysanthemum. She wouldn't speak to the rat because what was the point? It was as much sense as trying to speak to a tree. "Then - I won't tell anyone where Winter is, so you keep my secret too. How does that sound? Come on, you know you love a deal like that."
Okay fine, she could accept that one. She would indicate her acceptance by letting the rainfall stop. "It's a deal, so don't forget it!" She left the forest, letting her parasol down, where one of the security staff's vehicles was waiting for her to take her back home. Cynthia was happy about Elise going out more often, but she didn't know the black eagle was spending her time training. She didn't need to rely on anyone, she wouldn't let Vincent get hurt anymore.
