“Why are you here?” Anna asked. She wouldn’t have noticed he was there, only if she continuously watched the fight. But she noticed something different from him, he looks somehow off, like he wasn’t the same as before from where she had last remembered. Anna trained his eyes to him. She couldn’t pinpoint what would it be, but never had she gotten herself wrong. Surely, something happened to him just like what she heard. The rumours in SALEM stating that the wolves has been punished by the Gods. One of the reason why they vanished, but Anna knew better. The Gods owed their Alpha. They wouldn’t just do something to offend them unless it would be a must. “I hope you wouldn’t mind me offering you some tea, Alpha.” She said before having one for herself. Anna may have been young, but she had been through more than what others had experience before. Borne through war, left by her biological parents—humans, who were more than cruel as they left her on this community whereas it’s either to kill or get killed, murder somebody or get murdered. On that place, if Anna is weak, she’ll die. If she is frail, she wouldn’t be able to survive there. But that doesn’t means she had not been on a brink once. Of course Anna have a taste of what doom was like. She had almost have herself killed at the age of 19. It was just a relief that Khaled had saved her. The scars running on his body, and the wounds he had gotten from that day is one of evident of his heroic act. He may have appeared scary, but he is a good man. Anna couldn’t help herself but smiled at those memories, right before she bring back her attention to the man she was sitting opposite with. She did not earn any responses and so she continue. “I heard what happened in Salem, you disappear to which I found absurd.” Anna picked up the glass—her own and bring it closer to her lips. She takes a small sip while looking at him. “What happened, Midas? And you seems...to be quite different at all.” She did not hesitated, but voice out her worries. “A lot had happened, Anna.” That’s what he uttered to her. His voice was cold, it made her shudder, his spine are chilly from the cold breeze earlier that morning. The sun was already up, the sky is blue, and it was shining, but it offers no warm or perhaps, it was because of Midas. “A lot have, Midas. I know some, but I couldn’t tell, whether I really know what took place in Salem.” She uttered underneath her breathe. “Where were you during the days? Where had you been through this years?” “A death happens.” He briefly replied. “Whose death?” “It wasn’t important.” He brushed it off, although he mentioned that somebody died. But who dies that had cause for them to end up like this? That was her question. Intrigued, but to how she observed, it seems like he doesn’t have any plan of telling her who. Anna crossed her arms. Her eyes studied him, when something drawn to her. Anna had just realized something. “But I have a question.” Unknowingly she said, stopping Midas from his tracks. “Who are you? You know you couldn’t fool me—” “I am Midas.” That’s what he said. “Look closely Anna.” “But whose Midas I am speaking to?” With that said the male in front of her chuckled. He laughs all the way as if Anna had just solve something that nobody had ever done before. “I can tell that you are smart.” He said. “But you know whom you are speaking to.” With what said, Anna’s eyes widened on its own accords. Disbelief was written all over to her face. It was just too impossible. She was too stunned to speak. Shunned on her feet as she intently raked her head, and so she was right. She wasn’t mistaken that she is speaking to, the visit she had was not from Midas but to another part of him. There’s this myth that has been going on around about an Alpha who have two parts: the good one and the bad one, the evil and the chastise part to whereas both balance each other, but some things happen. They would be able to get separated, but with a price. Once the evil part left, it would be a disaster, and that happens only when he wanted something, when his desire is so strong that the others couldn’t stand it. It is the wantons that pushed them alongside with it. She couldn’t believed it, not even had she expected for this things to happen. Anna had known Midas, but never of sort had she met this side. “Who died?” She pry, the questions lashing out as they grow and grow much bigger ahead. She knew whoever it was, it actually meant something to which she wouldn’t be able to find out much easier. It wouldn’t be easy now that she is speaking to Midas, no, but towards the darkest version of himself. She was scared, but the encounter was giving her some adrenaline to which she couldn’t quite tell. But one way or another, Anna would find out. She knew she will as there are no secrets that were often left out in secrecy and in hiding for so long. @cycy
