"We shouldn't had asked Alyssa about her last name," Gon says as he was slightly feeling guilty.

"Yeah, I guess so." Killua muttered.

The two of them were astonished in Alyssa's sad expression written all over her eyes, it was a touchy subject, but all they wanted is to know more things about her, that's all. They left Alyssa sleeping with a blanket around her as they started hunting a witch while she was taking a rest. Replenishing her Nen.

"Do you think that we crossed the line?" Killua says.

"Crossed the line?" Gon repeated, titling his head in process.

"I know how it feels, to be all alone. Shrouded in complete darkness with no light is like being isolated in an unknown island, I bet she also felt like this kind of feeling before..."

The spiky haired boy frowned, "but what did Alyssa meant about that she has no last name?"

"She is an orphan, of course she wouldn't have an last name. Unless, she remembers it." the white haired blu answered.

"Then...what about we give her an last name?!"

Killua's eyes gouged out, flabbergasted. "Are you stupid?! We can't give her an make-believe last name all of sudden!"

"Is that so? But I just thought of a good last name for her." Gon says.

"What is it?"

His lips curved in a smile as it then formed in a cheeky grin, closing his eyes and let out a closed-eye smile.

"Camellia!" Gon cheered.

"Camellia?" Killua asked.

It's probably an effortless name. In the back of his head, he thought.

"Her hair is like an camellia colour! And it also smells sweet, like flowers!" he added.

Then Gon started to turn around and began to walk. "Let's get back to work! The witch might appear by now."

Killua stared at his back that was moving forward, unable to say anything.

On the second thought, Camellia is rather a good name...

Alyssa's POV.

"You damned brat! Your so useless!"

I got hit by the fist of the woman who claimed herself as my mother multiple times till my cheeks bled and bruises appeared on my skin.

Oh, yes. I remember this sensation, this tingling feeling of blood and pain.

"I'm sorry, Mama." I cried as I raised my arms to protect myself, afraid of getting hit again.

"I wish I never adopted you!" she yelled as she pushed me down on the floor before stepping on my chest.

Tears rolled down my floor as I was clearly defenseless against her, she began to stepped on me again and again. Until I lost my consciousness and drift into sleep.

Yeah, I wish you never adopted me.

My eyes shot wide open as my breathing ragged and my chest was thumping hard, droplets of perspire trailed down my forehead as I felt slight chilly.

"It was just a dream..." I mumbled while touching my forehead and letting my fingers travel against my pink locks silently.

That's when I notice that Gon and Killua weren't here, all that's left was the cozy blanket wrapped around my petite body.

I stood up as I picked up the fallen blanket and fold it neatly before placing it on a table nearby. My first instincts told me to look for them, so I complied and went with the flow.

"What's your last name?"

I don't know what my last name is, ever since I was a child, my parents abandoned me without knowing what was our family name. Maybe they told me or I just couldn't remember it.

I don't even know what my parent's faces looks like...

In the corner of my eyes, I noticed something flying? I turned around to get a picture of it and found a glittering butterfly fluttering its beautiful wings aesthetically.

How pretty...

It went towards something as it sat on someone's fingers, a gorgeous woman appeared right before me.

When did she...?!

Suddenly, the scenery changed. Flowers bloomed everywhere as if the church didn't existed in the first place. The sweet scent of fragrance entered my nostrils as it was intoxicating.

Flowers...? Where did it came from?

"Oh, hello there, traveler. Where did you came from?"

A soft, intoxicating voice asked me as I flinched. She smiled at me, then I lowered my guard a bit and smiled back.

Wait. Where did I came from? 

"I was inside the church earlier..." I spoke truthfully.

She chuckled. "Church? There is no church here, my dear."

Maybe...Just maybe...

The woman started to walk towards me as I subconsciously began to step backwards slowly, feeling the sense of danger in my heart.

This person...is dangerous! I thought as a sweat slipped on my forehead.

"Why are you stepping back away from me? Do you find me scary?" the woman asked as if reading my mind.

I tripped backwards as my butt fell against the floor, I trembled in fear while looking up to the woman standing in front of me.

Slowly, she reached her hand towards me, as if that hold will swallow and gulp me to death which made me so afraid that I almost tear up.

"NO! HELP ME—GON! KILLUA!"

CRASHED!

A flash of sparks and brimming flames appeared as it attacked the Witch that was right in front of me, soon enough, the fake, glassy illusion, shattered.

The magnificent butterflies flown up in the air as it slowly faded away, however, I just sat there, looking up to the two boys who saved me.

Then they stretched both of their hands before me, waiting for me to grab hold of it. I smiled as I slowly grabbed it. They pulled me up in my feet to stand up again.

"Are you okay?" Gon asked me.

I nodded, "Yes. Thank you." they both let go of my hands as it dropped down in its place.

"That was a close one." Killua stated.

I chuckled. "But you two came in, and saved me just in time."

They looked at each other as they smiled and nodded.

"I guess I could say that this is Mission Accomplished?" I said.

"Yeah. We finally defeated the Witch hiding in the church." Gon says.

"We just have to get the Jenny and go travel somewhere. There are lots of places filled with Witches." Killua suggested.

"You have a point. So where should we travel next?" I asked, amused.

"Hmm...Anywhere would do, just somewhere interesting." Killua hummed, giving out his opinion.

"Um, about that...there is somewhere I would like to go to." we both turned around and saw Gon fiddling his fingers.

"Oh, sure. Where?" I asked.

"I want to go back to Whale Island."

??? POV.

She is all grown up.

I stood above the church's roof as I watched the three kids talked to each other happily, how careless.

She has an great potential...

"The potential to be the Queen."
