Ken had left before Conny had finished eating. Lilly and Newbie was having some tea, it was quiet and Newbie felt calmer than he ever had since he got here. After they had finished their tea Lilly took Newbie around his arm.
- Come on Newbie, I will show you around, because I bet that Conny didn't show you everything.
She said and looked at Conny with a "I know you too well" smirk, Conny sighed, he ignored Lillys assumptions and looked at her with a little guilt.
- Actually, I need to borrow him for awhile...
Newbie didn't understand what he meant with that, and the long silent when Lilly glared at him.
- I mean... don't you have some work to do! You should...
- Yeah, I get it.
Conny hadn't finished his sentence before Lilly answered back, he seemed a bit surprised by her sudden cooperation, but Lilly had suddenly calmed down.
- I just remember that I DO have some work to do!
She turned to Newbie, and put her hands together.
- Sorry! lets have the tour later, okay?
She looked sincerly at Newbie, and with not much of a chose he just nodded. Lilly turned upset towards Conny, for a last time, he still seemed a bit nerves and then she walked out from the kitchen. Conny sighted, this time a bit louder.
- Why does she always do that?
He stood up and walked towards Newbie.
- Sorry that I had to disrupt your and Lillys plans, I will explain when we get there.
Conny walked towards the door and held it open.
- After you, my friend.
They had reached the fifth floor and walked in a rather dark hallway, the light was weak and they we
It felt like they had been walking for forever, but after around 10 minutes they had finally arrived to a door. Conny put his hand on a screen that was attached to the wall, the red light changed to green and they walked in.
The room was just as dark as the hallway, Newbie walked in and looked around. In the middle of the room was something that looked like a coffin. Newbie got surprised, why did Conny bring him here?
- You are probably wondering what this place is...
Conny took a few steps to the coffin, the room didn't seem to be that big.
- This is where we awaken our abilities, well... besides Lilly...only a hand full of people are born with it while the rest need to "awaken" it... Ken, Leo, Allen...everyone, including me of course... we all have been here.
He pointed at the coffin, Newbie was shaking his head, he was starting to feel scared, and Conny noticed that.
- There is nothing to worry about!
He said with a big grin on his face as he walked towards Newbie, Newbie had unconsciously taken a few steps back and had hit the wall, he had no were to hide.
Conny patted Newbie on his head.
- I mean it... you will be fine.
Connys smile had disappeared but Newbie noticed that his eyes hadn't faltered. how could he be so sure about that, Newbie couldn't grasp anything, he felt so weak...
- You're strong!
Newbie didn't understand, everything was happening too fast... what was going on, what would become of him...?
He felt like crying, this was so unfair, and selfish, he couldn't even talk back, or ask anything!
Conny realized that Newbie was shaking, he sighted. This kind of situation wasn't his thing and he didn't know what newbie was wishing to hear and what would be best thing to do. All he knew was to guide, go forward and make the path... but at this moment Newbie was all alone, he had to make his own path.
- Sorry... I...
Suddenly the door opened, it was Lilly, she seemed a bit breathless as if she had finished running a marathon, she was staggering towards where Newbie and Conny were standing.
- Let... Let me take over.....
Conny didn't say a word, he knew that what he was about to say would only make things worse, he silently went to the other side of the room and leaned towards the wall.
- Are you okay....?
Lilly asked. Newbie shook his head, he was still shaking. She put her hands on his shoulders.
- It's okay to be scared... And I hear you just fine, I know you feel all alone, but I'm here, and I will be waiting for you.
Newbie looked up and saw Lilly smiling gently towards him.
- Didn't I promise to give you that tour, there's so many things I want to show you!
Newbies started to cry, as something heavy had suddenly ran off him and everything felt lighter, Lilly gave him a hug and patted him on the head.
- There there...
Newbies tears was pouring down his cheeks.
- Thank you...
Lilly said. Those words... was the only thing Newbie felt at that moment, and had filled him up to the point that he couldn't stop thoes tears that went down on his cheeks. Lilly knew that, and Newbie could only nod as an answer while he thought: Yeah... thank you... thank you...
