Marcella's Office

[Anna Leigh Williams]

A few minutes passed, and Marcella's phone chimed. 'Isn't she supposed to be with daddy? Weird, he always makes sure he snags her whenever he gets the chance. I'll come pick her up since I'm heading that way. I have a present for her anyways! '

About twenty minutes passed when Ely quickly knocked, and entered the office. "Hey..!" She quickly took notice of Marcella's tears, and immediately rushed over to her, "What's going on..?!" She knelt in front of the crying Marcella, and took her hands. The necklace Marcella gave her still hung around her neck. 

"Talk to me..."

Marcella managed to smile lightly at the sight of Ely, but it did not last long once she caught wind of her immense sadness. Her eyes were red and puffy, her make-up was distorted as it ran down her rosy cheeks. She watched as Ely tried to console her, but as she looked into her eyes the harsh reality set in that she eventually had to tell Elysium the real truth as to why she told Ely to come here...


She took a deep breath in, trying to stay as calm as possible but her hands were clearly still shaking from the emotion and shock of it all...

Marcella brought a hand to Ely's face, as tears of her own began to pool in her eyes once more as her heart began to break for Ely. She loved her father so much.. and Marcella hated to be the bearer of bad news, especially to Elysium..


"E-Elysium..." Marcella began to speak, her voice on the verge of cracking under pressure, pausing in between to recollect her thoughts.. before returning her gaze towards the woman in front of her...

Suddenly, the pressure became too much and Marcella automatically started to bawl in her hands not wanting to be the one to tell Elysium about her father but she knew she had to be the only one to tell her no matter how much it hurts her...

"C-Chris is dead Ely!! Your father has died, Elysium! I-I'm so sorry..!!" Marcella confessed, through tears of her own as she realized that Ely no longer has either of her parents...

Elysium then was beyond worried when Marcella began to cry uncontrollably. "Marcella..." But then her ex step mother spat out the words. Elysium's eyes slightly widened. "...What!?" Her heart sunk, as she staggered back onto the floor. She clutched her chest, as a wail crept from her stomach. "...W-What happened!?" Where was she to go? What was she to do? She had no idea. She looked at the floor, vacant. Almost like a switch, her face suddenly went blank. 

Elysium stood to her feet, and walked out of the door...

She walked downstairs, her eyes locked forward. A car was at the door, waiting. Elysium opened the door, and entered the car. "...What are my orders...?" She asked. "I need you to track down Projects NT-01, NT-02, and SN-95...." A voice spoke in the shadows. "...Alive or Dead...?" Elysium asked. "Oh, they need to be very much alive. But, I believe you can do it... NT-03..." 

Elysium nodded, as the car pulled away....

Marcella watched as Ely's expression turned cold and shallow, something that Cella would already anticipate from the younger woman. Her hazel eyes glistened with tears as she watched Ely leave out of her office, without saying much to her.

There, alone in her office Marcella's only company consist of the silence that enveloped her. Marcella sat back in her office chair as her mind consumed with thoughts of Chris and the wonderful times they shared...

And now they're all gone, along with him...
