Chapter 37: Explanation

The sun was finally setting, and darkness will temporary rule the sky. He walked inside Ana's room and saw his sister sleeping in bed. Her chest steadily rises and falls as she's breathing with complicated runes orbiting above her, siphoning her Mana, and repairing her damaged body.

Only to freeze in horror and confusion.

Horror because as he saw Jess, wearing a bakery uniform, as she sitting on the bed and gently petting Ana's head.

Confusion because Jennifer is asleep on her lap.

Jess pressed a finger to her lips with her other hand and whispered. "Shhh, you don't want to wake her up do you?"

But Gill couldn't tell if she's talking about his sister or her niece. "H-How did you get in here?!"

"Gill," said Jess in a clam voice. "You should really be quiet..." her hand moved to Ana's throat. "And it would be so easy to snap her fragile neck right now..."

"Okay, okay!" urgently said Gill, his voice now a whisper. "I'll be quiet, just please don't hurt her."

"Then don't give me a reason to." Said Jess as she placed Jennifer, still asleep, on the bed next to Ana. It was then she saw Jennifer snuggle up to Gill's sister. How adorable.

"She's only one block tall, now 8 years old, and so innocent." Said Jess, looking at Jennifer as she moved a strand of black hair out of her sleeping face.

She then pulled out two blocks of wool and placed them down across from each other so they have something to sit on. She turned to Gill. "Let's talk." She said, gesturing to the wool block.

Gill is nervous, afraid, and angry. But he didn't dare show it, not when his sister's life is on the line. Jess raised any eyebrow. "Aren't you going to ask anything?" she whispered. "I won't be here long."

"Are you going to hurt my sister?" he asked.

"Wow, worried about your sibling when you're the one facing the demon." She commented. "I'm just here to visit."

"You'll really answer any questions" he asked quietly. "No lies?"

"No lies." She said. "Ask away. I got no reason not to."

There are so many thing he needed to asked, and there is so much more he wanted to scream in rage. He wanted revenge for what Jess did to him, to the Ocelots.

But he just can't take that chance, and he needs to know or it'll haunt him.

"How did you even get in here?" he asked, slightly afraid of the answer. "How do you know where I live?"

"Everyone knows where the Ocelots live, I just had to listen. As for how I got in..." She then pulled out a blue orb. "Do you know what this is Gill?" she asked as he tried to Scribe it.

"Mana?" he said unsure. "It's Mana, but something more..."

"I guess you're not as smart as you think you are." She replied. "This is a Mana Core, the one thing inside every being that has Mana, and defining them what their Class is. This is the very thing that allows the person the regenerate, to shape, and to wield Mana."

"I saw you rip one of those out of Maya's chest back in the Twilight Forest." Said Gill, the name itself still brings him pain. "Is that why she couldn't trap you in another illusion?"

"Yep, but it was mostly due to how pathetic of a mage she was." She insulted, earning a glare from Gill.

But it didn't affect her, if her bored face is any indication. "And since this is tuned to her Mana, I used it to bypass the security system for this home." Said Jess, putting away Maya's Mana Core. It was then Gill noticed something wrong with Jess's right arm.

"You have a right arm." he stated, pointing at the odd limb. "How?"

"I figured it was time to get temporary replacement." She shrugged.

"How did you lose it in the first place?" he asked.

"That's personal, Gill." She said, remembering what Ivor did to make sure she lived when she used Conquest for the first time.

"But don't worry," she reassured, stretching out and flexing her fingers on her right arm. "like I said, it's a temporary replacement. I just borrowed it."

"What do you mean borrowed?" he asked. looking at her right arm. He then realized why he felt so weird by looking it.

It looks familiar.

"I thought you would notice by now, Gill." Said Jess as she rolled up the sleeve on her bakery uniform to reveal a tattoo that said 'M&G' in the middle of a heart.

"B-But t-that's-s-!" he said in shock, disturbed as anger started to rise. "You're sick, Jess. Sick in the head!" he quietly shouted.

"True, I'm sick of this cheesy tattoo. It makes me feel disgusted knowing that this is on my arm." Said Jess, flexing the limb she cut off of Maya's body, and stitched it on with her new skill [Flesh Harvest].

[Flesh Harvest] (Active) Level 1

Must have Harvester Class in order to use. This skill allows you to rip and/or reattach body parts with black threads.

Cost: 500 Mana.

"I guess that piece of trash was good for something after all." She commented, examining the cross-stitching and pedicured nails on her new limb. "Too bad she's not here to hang around anymore."

Gill got angry, stood up from his seat, and started yelling. "Don't you talk about her-!"

SHWOOK! Arrows made out of Mana barely missed Ana's sleeping head. "Indoor voices Gill." Warned Jess, her face is blank, still looking at her nails as her other hand is pointed at Ana.

"Compared to other magic users, Maya is nothing more than an embarrassment, an insignificant spec; that I've decided to honor by paying the slightest attention to." She said. "So. Sit. Down."

Gill froze with fear for his sister, and tried to keep still as he sat down once again, and occasionally glancing at his sister. Those arrows sunk really deep into the bed.

"Any more questions?" she asked. "I'm going to leave soon."
