WHAT THEY TOOK FROM ME

CRUEL FATE

I woke up feeling a big thump on my head like a hangover. I remembered what happened yesterday. I remember vividly what the seer said about me brining doom to the world. I sighed. Stood up from the bed, did my daily routine business and went out like every normal day. I pretty well want to look normal and give hopes to the people that prophecies change. I remember the first time they brought me here and talked about saving the world from impending doom. So it actually meant saving the world from myself because practically everything the seer meant is that I will be an accomplice to the long lived demon, Tyrus. Apparently there is only one way to avoid not being an apprentice to Tyrus and that’s only if I don’t have s*x with him.

“And why will I have s*x with a demon?” I asked Thaila. She is also an elder and she is explaining the remains of what the seer said after I fainted.

“I don’t know but she said through the phase of your life you will figure out something about yourself and she made mention that Tyrus will not come as a demon to you.” Thaila replied me.

“Phase of my life? Figure out something? f**k, I don’t want to figure anything else about me. This is enough figuring. I don’t want to figure any other thing out. Carrying the burden of the world is enough for me.” I said with too many emotions. I know that has a full stop but trust me I still have a lot to say.

I looked up to Thaila and smiled. I hate bad vibes and as much as I hate it, I don’t like to give people bad vibes. I went to Tash and Ryan. If anything, they are the best people to be with during times like this. I went to them with my smiley face. That was merely to cover up what I am feeling inside of me.

“Hey, where have you been? After you left for your meeting yesterday, you didn’t show up and now you are showing up quite late today. Why?” Tash is the first to throw questions at me. I don’t judge her because I know deep down, she cares.

“I was a little indisposed and decided to go to bed early.” I lied. Since the news haven’t reached them yet, I guess the elders are trying to put the magical world in peace and not create unnecessary worries when we can handle it ourselves or so I want to believe. I just want to hear someone say it’s going to be alright and that I can fight through this.

“Everything will be alright, you can fight through this.” Ryan said. He listened to my mind.

I got used to saying he listens to mind because he emphasised on the fact that he doesn’t read minds, he listens to our thoughts and I told him it was rude because it feels like he is intruding our privacy. Surprisingly, his other emphats can hear the mind of other people only through physical contacts but he can hear the minds of people without contacts and as long as they are within 10 metres range. As much as I don’t like him listening to my thoughts, he can’t help it and for the first time, I am happy he can hear my thoughts.

“Where did that come from?” Tash asked no one in particular but it was directing to Ryan.

“Just felt like she needed to hear those words now, though I don’t know why.” He replied to Tash’s question. And after that Tash and I started gisting about what I missed out on yesterday.

I wasn’t listening to any of the things she is saying. I was contemplating on either telling her about the prophecies but then questions came popping up in my head. What is she leaves like the others do? What if she suddenly hates me and doesn’t view it from the way I will be feeling now? I want to cry it out but I can’t, I shouldn’t because I am the Overlord here.

“Tash? Over here, it is your turn to serve.” Gretta called Tash. Looks like we’ve approached lunch. Normally, I wasn’t supposed to eat with them but like I said before I ruled us all equal.

“You guys coming to eat?” Tash asked both Ryan and I.

“I will be there in a moment.” I said and we both looked at Ryan for his answer.

“Will follow in a jiffy.” He answered her. Tash just nodded suspiciously and left.

“Why didn’t you go with her?” I asked Ryan.

“I figure you might need a friend.” He said and I just nodded. “Mind talking about it?” he asked me.

“No, sorry not for now maybe some other time.” I want to figure this out before I tell Tash and Ryan anything. After a while, I told him to leave me as I wanted to be alone. I didn’t stay there either, I went to the green field Ryan took me to and just stared and adored how peaceful nature is. I envy nature.

“Is it too hard to give me happiness? It hasn’t even been up to a year and this is happening already? Why is fate so cruel to me? Just once, just once, give me a glimpse of hope for once and I will be grateful and ask for no more.” I said this out loud in between sobs. I was in serious tears.

Why does it have to be me? I thought fate has stopped messing with me when everything seemed good. Then why now? Why? Why? Why? I am still sobbing. I am a mess. This isn’t what I wanted for myself. Right this moment I regretted wishing to be the Overlord. Death was also a choice but committing suicide will send me automatically to hell and that is been punished for my wrong doing but what about being the devil accomplice. That automatically means I am against the Creator. Hell no, I don’t want that.

“You said you are the destiny changer; why not change my destiny for good? Change it, I don’t want this bad fate/destiny. It is too much for a young girl like me. It is damn too much burden for me to carry.” I said to the Creator wishing He was listening to me. Yeah, He is definitely listening but not helping me out. I need Him just this once.

I was crying too much and I wanted to control it so I just did what I have always done.

Love is in the air every sight and every sound

Love is in the air, in the rising of the sun

So far, every moment we've spent together has been awesome

But I promise you, that the best is yet to come

Since the time I've met you, I cry a little less

Laugh a little harder and smile all the more

Just because I have you, my life is a better place

Every day with you is a wonderful addition to my life's journey

You're my paradise and I'd happily get stranded on you for a lifetime

Just when I think that it is impossible to love you

Any more than I already do, you prove me wrong

If someone asked me to describe you in just two words, I'd say *UNIQUE DAISY*

Love is in the air everywhere I look around

Love is in the air, when the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you are an illusion

Don't know if I see truth

What on earth did I think about all the time before you?

If loving you was a job, I'd be the most deserving, dedicated, and qualified candidate

In fact, I'd even be willing to work for free!

Your smile is literally the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life

Love is in the air, in the whisper of the tree

Love is in the air in the thunder of the sea

Don't know if I feel safe

But it's something that I must believe in

If only you knew how much those little moments with you matter to me

You do a million little things that bring to joy to my life

I know fairy tales come true because I have you

There are only two times that I want to be with you: now and forever

My six word love story: I can't imagine life without you

Love is in the air, I see you everywhere

Love is in the air, I don't know what is and what's not

I don't know what it is, but I am sure

If nothing lasts forever I will be your nothing

Yeah right, I am not sane. In this predicament I find myself, I still do this. I do this only to calm my nerves or to stop me from crying. It is either I recite a poem or read one of my favorite bedtime stories.

“Found you.” Ryan said

“You always find me.” I replied. I pretty much stopped crying before Ryan showed up.

“Why do your eyes look swollen?” Ryan asked me.

“I took a long bathe in the river.” I lied.

“Your clothes looks dry and the river looks peaceful.” He stated the obvious. Just before he was able to push forward with his questions, we heard some squeaky noises in the woods. We got curious because it was late already. Yeah right, I spent almost half the day crying and pitying my life.

“Who is there?” I asked in a loud tone but no answers came forth. I asked couple of times while taking each steps behind Ryan towards the bush/woods. After a while we parted to search the woods. And he told me to be careful. Ryan caught the person.

“Over here Tiwa, I caught him.” Ryan called out to me.

I could hear the person pleading Ryan not to hurt him. The voice sounds familiar I just can’t point out who this voice belongs to.

“Who is that?” I asked Ryan after I got behind him.

Ryan turned around while holding the person’s hands behind him, holding it enough for the person not to escape. After they turned, the person turned out to be;

“Ope?” I asked a rhetorical question.

I don’t know what’s happening but I definitely know it is fate messing with me again. As if yesterday was not enough
