Scorched Future's

Unveiling Truths

"Oh great! So you're apart of this weird crap too?" I asserted angrily looking at Tarius who had just walked in Kamil's front door.

"Athena, I need you to hear me out and allow me to explain some things before assumptions are made." He expressed calmly while walking toward me slowly.

Kamil was preoccupied with shutting and locking his door when I stepped back. When they both tried to come even closer to me, I held up my hand as a signal for them to not come any closer. I observed them for a moment before coming out and saying

" I am going to need some real explanations in lames terms, not some run around excuses with cover up stories and you both talking in circles trying to redirect my thoughts. Go." I gestured with my hand for them to begin explaining and get on with the truth. They both looked at each other and then looked back at me.

"Athena, you're going to think were crazy." Kamil said while exhaling. Tarius looked over at him with a look that said 'what the f**k is wrong with you' and then looked over at me again

"If you want the truth, you're going to have to trust me." Tarius said bluntly and held out his hand for me to take. I contemplated for a moment debating with myself whether I should take his hand, but whether I liked it our not, I did have feelings for Tarius and deep down I knew I would go along with anything he said or asked of me. Some part of me just seemed to trust him and is put at ease because of him. So, I took his hand.

Athena took my hand and immediately it felt like a relief to hold her again. I was so pissed at Kamil for slipping in front of her and that j had to tell her the complete truth so soon. I mean what high class of an i***t it takes to slip up when you know you need to be extra mindful and careful of your actions.

With her hand in mine I led Athena into Kamil's far backyard. When we reached the spot I was aiming toward I reluctantly let go of her hand and looked over at Kamil who had diligently followed us out here. I folded my hands together, looked deeply into her eyes and said

"What you are about to witness may be very disturbing and you are probably going to freak out, but I need to try not to since I am going to explain everything, okay?"

She nodded in response and I knew it was time to shift. I stepped back, took my shirt off, not breaking eye contact with her and I could see her blush, she averted her eyes and being a Reelora, I could feel how anxious and angry Kamil was, anxious because he was nervous about how she would react, and angry because I just took my shirt off in front of her, needless to say being a Reelora also comes with the gift of being able to feel all of the peoples emotions around me. Like an empath, but better. Continuing my process I took off my pants and I could see Athena become more uncomfortable, and slightly, aroused? She cleared her throat and croaked

"Um, you guys aren't going to r**e me right? This is just a bit odd."

I chuckled in response and said

"No Athena, we're not going to r**e to, we aren't those guys. Well, at least I'm not what about you?" While saying the last part I looked over at Kamil who presently looked like he wanted to rip my head off

"I would never r**e anyone, good grief." He said

I finally faced the other direction since I didn't want her to be completely freaked out, and took my boxers off. I really felt Athenas emotions mix intensely now that I was completely naked, and to be fully honest, I couldn't be more prideful than in this moment even though that sounds a bit self absorbed. I took my short that I had been hold and held in in front of myself to cover up and faced her again only to see she was looking right at me already. That I guess explains why Kamil is in such an angry state.

"Athena, i am going to need to to look at me and not break eye contact now okay?" I said cautiously

"Okay." She said in a very calm voice, but I could feel that she was actually fully of anxiety.

I closed my eyes and when I knew I finally shifted i opened them again.

I did exactly what Tarius had asked and I never took my eyes off of him, but now, I think I have completely lost my mind. Except I know that I haven't because even though it was such a fictional event, I knew and felt that it was reality. Before me where Tarius had stood, a large and muscular buck deer had stood in front of me. I completely fell to my knees and covered my mouth with my hand in awe, not fear, but amazement. Tarius, or the deer Tarius had come closer and sat down in front of me. To be honest, even though I knew Kamil was standing next to me, it felt like it was only Tarius and I in the room. I gently lifted my hand up and moved it near the deer, or Tarius's face only going half the distance before he had moved his head and placed my hand on his face himself and closing his eyes. Kamil seemed to tf ake this as some sort of cue, because he walked over to where Tarius had left clothing and placed it next to him. Sure enough, it was a cue, within moment Tarius was back to being human and had already covered up before I even pulled myself out of the trance I had been in, though he remained seated in front of me.

"I know this is a lot to take in but," he said before I cut him off by pulling him into a hug and whispering in his ear

"You're amazing."

The tenseness that was in his body had released when I said that small sentence, and that made my heart grow even more for him. I was in such shock over what I had just witnessed, but I know that I will be okay and that everything would work out, I just know that it will.
