My Devious Lover

   "Got you"  murmur of an angelic voice. The most beautiful song in my ears. Alexa try turn around to see who it was, but the face of her angel is drifting far.  She can’t make a move. She started panicking. She’s crying frantically but she cannot utter a word, it’s her birthday she remembered. "Are you okay"  "Do you hear me?"  you'll be fine now. "She is awake" those were the only words she hers before a deafening shout, load screeching of vehicles took all her senses.  She still don't know what was wrong. The only thing she remember before she drifted back to dark abyss. I was in pain!   what's going on! please..................help..............me............. where am i………………….mom  dad...................... my ange………….l come back…………………….. her voice fades Everything went blank. ____________________________________________________________________________________   “Hey” a slight tap on her shoulder seems to drift her back to the moment. It was past 12 noon and you can still see how everyone in the cafeteria just enjoying the break after class. Math subject is what I hate, I literally don’t get it. It was like I’m being taught of something in a language I don’t yet know about. I don’t know, it feels so foreign to me. She thought in mind why? She is trying to remember where was her mind wander off before her best-friend Kyle aka Kylie, Well, just known to her, disturbed her solace. She remember it was her 18th birthday when he admitted that all along he is not a guy, I felt sad knowing how that secrets might hurt his family. It was an issue we rarely discuss because he is not ready for it, the consequences of lying to his parents. I wish it didn’t went this far, cause in the end I know, it will hurt them. But I realized they’ll be more hurt now than before, they’ll be in pain not because their precious one and only son was gay, but because we fooled them and never had given them the benefit of a doubt, that maybe we must consider the idea- what if they’ll listen and will understand him and that of all people his family especially his parents will be his first line of defense to those that will gonna hurt him for just showing who he is inside. That blurry incident when I was fifteen, I lost my parent in a car accident which by far, with little memories that I had – that’s all I know of. Everything is still vague. I feel guilty whenever I and kyle has to do a lot of extra efforts in order for his family, who took care of me, who help me live again, find purpose again, yet here I am knowing everything about kyle’s sexualit. I am still silent. “kyle, what if it is the right time”? Knowing the tone of my voice. He didn’t respond. I thought he is just merely avoiding the question but I guess I was wrong. “I guess, I like that man” motioning her to look at the direction her best-friend is looking at. It was three hard-looking male and a woman. A woman whose presence can make every girl feel envious. A model type of a woman I might say, petite with a gray hair and gray eyes. My eyes zeroed to a man walking behind these movie-like individuals. Their eyes met on a fraction of a second then out of sight as the group manage to blend with the others. In my pheripheral vesion I could see how the man flexibly motion for the girl to order. There is something in his eyes that makes her want to look more. He looked freed and genuinely happy but serious.   “Who’s your bet?” I heard they’re our senior. He continued talking about the group. The woman was Olive, the man with …………….   The Bell rang and for a blink of an eye everyone is hurriedly leaving. Making the canteen deserted in just a spur of the moment.   Class has ended as smoothly, but my mind is still seeking for answers. What had come across her mind while she’s in the cafeteria can’t easily be shake off. She sudden shrugged out of annoyance. "wanna come" kyle and some of our classmates are giggling, she wasn't really aware at how the group was able to be just in front of her in the middle of the pathway. She never thought, her mind is still  wandering. "nuh" her instant response which is kinda weird. They look at me in disbelief but with a hint of worry "you okay sissy?" "don't worry" I smiled. " im just feeling sleepy today, would you mind if I'll just catch up"? Gladly without more gathering of data which is the usual before her friend could actually let her go. She walk past them and she could feel not just the heat of the blazing sun, but also their stare behind her.  Gladly she's already far from their vision.  She search for the surroundings, with a heavy sigh she took the opposite route on her way home.   She walks into the wood remembering all her literature teacher has discussed earlier. Most of her classmates got scared unlikely she felt a tingle of excitement and curiosity. She continue walking and it was too late when  she realised that  she has gone a little bit far than to what she supposed to. She look at the surroundings, it was like she had entered a new dimension, she didn't know there is some strange yet so peaceful place like this. "no one has tell her about this before" she murmur The sun seem to set an ablaze at the center of the woods, almost 10 tress, big trees has form like a circle and seem to welcome everyone that comes.   "hmmmmmmm it feels like a dream" she laid down and feel the greenery on her foot. She closed her eyes and just feel as the air kisses her well-being.   She felt tensed, she felt voices.   Then a hard devious laugh followed.   "Finally" it is all the things she was able to understand. The sound becomes clearer and clearer. They're marching toward her. She made a grip, steadying in a sitting position yet ready for what seem to be coming. There's this deafening silence. More than the tremor that sound could caused, it can't be compared to the silence she's experiencing. Bringing all the courage with her, her shaky legs begin to decide on its own, totally ignoring what her mind is telling. To get away from the noise..... She quietly moved quick not away from the ceremonial sound, but  nearer. She heard strange sounds............. "hello"  her head swirl and her heart stop as she heard  whisper. She felt the coldness of the lips that spoke. Then suddenly everything was gone. All that there is was her. Standing alone, and shaking _________­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­___________________________________________________________________________    Logan is europic that it took down all his senses. He is in the middle of a ceremony that he could kill anyone who will ruined it. His family is present while everyone is uttering different words far from the natives. It was a code that no one can decipher including the youngster. It was a gift that will only be received once you fulfilled the golden rules of these kind. Only a few had succeed, for it has required sacrificed, a great one.  It saddened him at the very thought of his father. His love for my mom requires him to let forget receiving such gift.  He was so determined to pass the test and was able to hear understand the sound of it's language.  I remember every time I ask him, if he never regretted refusing such gift just be with my mom's side.  he would always look at me with pure intent in his eyes and would tell me " Your mom's presence is enough for me to understand all the kind of language that there is in this world"   I couldn't fathom what lies beneath his words.   His attention drawn to the presence. He will be receiving the honor and achieved those task then one day he will be the very first in his bloodline  to understand the language of power and mysteries.
