Chapter 164 - Paper Thin Part 2



*ILLENIUM, Tom DeLonge, Angels & Airwaves- Paper Thin *

Thinking back to her past, Liz has always been insecure about friendships and such. 

Whenever she got to know and love someone, that person would tend to disappear or die by some weird accident.

That\'s why she couldn\'t let go of Raven whenever possible, since a part of her was still waiting for that moment when Raven disappears and her dreams shatter apart.

Every moment of her life now felt so surreal that it just made her extremely happy. \'Even if this is a dream, I would rather live it to the fullest!\' She thought to herself.

Seeing her expression, Raven sighed and sat still, instead of trying to run away from her.

"Um, so I know that Rave here is sixteen," Liz said, trying to focus on the outside world, rather than her own worries and sadness. "How old are you?"

"Wait Raven is sixteen..? Also, why are you calling her Rave? Since when did you two become besties?" Aella asked, not caring to hide her jealousy.

"Hm, don\'t try to avoid the question, Aella!" Liz called out to her.

"Eh? It\'s rude to ask a girl about her age you know," she said, looking away.

"But you asked me first!" Liz complained.

"Raven, help?" She looked at Raven who in return just looked away muttering that she was only sixteen and had no say in the matter.

"Humph, whatever! I\'m twenty eight, happy?" She asked, her cheeks red since she was relatively old, in comparison to Raven who she wanted to be friends with, badly.

"Reall?" Liz exclaimed in surprise. "You look so young! I honestly thought you were younger than myself. I would have guessed you were nineteen or something." 

"Well, I\'m not human, so the age flow is different for me," she shrugged. "As Raven already knows, I\'m a soul weaver."

"Soul weaver? Is that an alien race?" Liz asked curiously.

"Uhm, you could think of it like that I guess," she nodded. "And you know, Raven is also a soul weaver, hehe! So I\'m more similar to her than you are!"

"Hey, stop teasing me!" Liz complained playfully as she was enjoying her time, "but you know what, I get to hold onto Raven\'s arm and hug her, while you\'re an oldy so you can\'t, hehe!" She teased back as she stuck her tongue out.

"Hi," a voice suddenly called out, preventing Aella from lashing out at Liz with another response.

Looking up to the source of the voice, Raven smiled, "Ayo, Rachel!" She smiled. Even though it seemed sweet and genuine, Aella knew she was faking.

Joining the three of them, Rachel got to know them better as she tried her best to keep up with their enthusiasm.

Even though she wanted to ask Raven about how she was doing, she knew that it was the wrong question to ask at this time.

Instead, she just smiled and decided to enjoy watching the showdown between Aella and Liz.

During that time, Zeru and Kayla sat away observing the rest. 

They all seemed happy. It was almost surreal, to think that after what they had witnessed, smiles would make their way back to their faces.

Aside from paying attention to the group, Kayla was still piloting the other avatars.

\'The two Avatars have reached their destination.\' she said to Raven through their mind link.

\'Uhm,\' Raven nodded. In the EDA headquarters, the avatar\'s eyes belonging to her shone with a golden radiance as she took over.

While Raven was able to use Kayla\'s skill "Parallel Processing", Kayla hadn\'t allowed her full access since in her condition, it would make it harder to focus and would only damage her.

That\'s why her main body was now leaning on Liz\'s body. Although her eyes were still open, she seemed tired and almost ready to fall asleep.

Seeing that, Liz made a shush gesture to Aella as she slowly lowered Raven\'s head into her lap.

Noticing that, Raven didn\'t mind and instead she relaxed, allowing her main body to seem asleep.

Passing through the same hall she once did her test in, Raven clenched her fists as it reminded her of what Scott had done previously.

The avatar didn\'t need to breathe, yet she still took a deep breath to calm her nerves down.

Walking throughout the white futuristic hallways didn\'t last long as they approached a large set of doors.

Opening the doors silently, Scott stepped to the side, allowing Raven and Kayla on her shoulder first.

Inside, Raven found herself staring at about fifteen kids that had some special EDA uniforms on.

Their ages seemed to vary from fourteen to nineteen. Some were a bit younger or older.

Each one or two of them had different uniforms, indicating the region or county they came from. 

Raven could see some that seemed Korean, Japanese, some other Canadians, some from the USA, and other countries.

Suddenly, a blonde haired girl waved at Raven who was caught off guard. 

The girl had a wide smile plastered across her face as she started approaching Raven while dragging a dark haired girl behind her.

Scott seemed surprised at the gesture of the blonde girl, yet he didn\'t comment.

Reaching Raven, the girl was now rather nervous, yet she tried to ignore that feeling.

"Thank you very much for saving our lives! We owe you more than we could ever repay you!" The two girls said loudly while bowing deeply in front of Raven.

Standing up, the blonde still had a wide smile while the dark haired girl seemed embarrassed, if anything.

"I\'m aware that you may not remember us, but you saved our lives during that portal incident… we really owe you big time, you know!" The blonde spoke in a British accent that Raven found rather pleasant.

"Uhm, thank you very much!" The dark haired girl spoke fluent English even though she looked Japanese.

"Uhm, no worries," Raven said politely, in reply, "you two are from Nova Scotia, aren\'t you?"

"No way! You remember us?" The blonde grinned, "hehe, it\'s a pleasure being recognised by the one and only SS ranker around!"

At that, the faces of the other kids snapped towards Raven, with various expressions. Some seemed rather happy that a strong person was with them, protecting their backs.

Others gritted their teeth in annoyance. But some didn\'t even seem to notice.

A duo caught Raven\'s attention during that time. A girl that looked Korean who looked at Raven with a smile and even waved when their eyes met. 

And a boy sitting next to her who seemed to be rather quiet, resting his hands on his knees while closing his eyes, as if asleep.

"My name is Isabella, but please feel free to call me Bella," the blonde said with an enthusiastic smile, "and this is Sara."

"Nice meeting you, Bella and Sara, my name is Raven," she smiled while nudging Scott sneakily.

Realising that she was signalling him to save her, Scott coughed with a smile. "Alright everyone, seeing how some of you might want to introduce yourselves, I\'ll give you a few minutes to do so. 

"However, after that we\'ll have to carry on with the formal introductions of the students as representatives of their countries, as well as the instructors and their different roles."
