Two Natures

Chapter 10

"Hey, Anna-kay?"

"Hey!"

"What, why are are you shouting in my ear drum?" I asked my room mate. I got up to a sitting position as I stared at her incredulously.

I felt like a hammer was continuously hitting my head, like I just woke up from a terrible hangover that has been going on for months.

"Do you know what time it is?, you were sleeping this morning and now I came back after class, your still sleeping,"

Trix said sitting on my bed looking half annoyed with her eyebrows raised in disbelief, "Are you alright?, I saw this weird looking bottle with some gross thing inside it." She held up a small bottle containing some green looking liquid.

Wait.

I snatched the bottle from her hands and opened it. I took a sniff of it realizing it smelled really gross.

That was when everything started rushing back to me.

Mira, Chronx, her father.

His right hand man.

Shit, I need to go back to sleep.

I don't even think there's another wink of sleep left in me, sleep will have to wait then.

Right now I need to consult with Mr Coleman.

"Hey where you going?"

I was walking out my room when the question came forth by my room mate. I totally forgot she was here, this was a more important matter to deal with.

"Oh, ah, I'm gonna tell my teachers that I wasn't feeling well to attend classes today."

"Oh yeah, you go do that."

I was finally knocking on Mr Coleman's office door.

"Come in.", I pushed the door open and nervously took a seat at his desk, "Ah, it's you, I'm assuming you did it."

"Yeah I did and I remember everything, they turned her into some kind of weapon, but she was such a strong girl before. She knew her responsibilities, independent-"

"She?"He rest his hands on the table observing something on my face, "It seems like a bond had form, even your face is portraying fondness"

"Huh,"I didnt even realised I was smiling, but I am happy to know that what posses me had some form of identity.

"Ha!, well I think you guys have much to talk about, I reckon it will be much better this time."

"Thank you, Mr Coleman, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have understood Mira or her past."

"Of course Ms Wilson, I'm glad to see that your future looks much more brighter."

"Yeah me too." I smiled, it felt as if a burden has been lifted off my shoulders and I felt like I just made a friend that had no secrets and I was willing to talk with Mira.

"Hey, how did it go?" I was back in my room.

"Oh-um-yeah, it went ok, they um, understood my situation." I'm a bad liar ok.

"Oh well, I am tired so, I'm gonna sleep." She said getting ready to go to bed.

"Too early isn't, tell you what," I took out my cell phone from my bag, "let's watch a movie, then you can sleep."

"Didn't you just hear, I'm tired." I'm starting to think annoyance was on of her character traits.

"Oh come on, if you sleep this early then your gonna just wake up too early in the morning."

"Fine, one movie,"  Haha, I won.

"No you idiot, go the other way!" She was shouting at the characters in the movie. Somehow, we all all do that when we become frustrated with the decision that a certain character took.

I was smiling and shaking my head, it was good to see someone so happy, partially because of me. Or not, it was all on the movie.

We eventually feel asleep in the middle of a movie. A good one too but our eyes couldn't stay open for any longer.

At this point as I fell deeper into sleeping I knew this was much more important, I was facing the girl who possessed me. The one that must take responsibility for ensuring my future is safe, no slip ups.

"Mira, you got a nice name, I'm glad I don't have to call you 'it' anymore." I had to start somewhere.

She looked up at me.

"I guess its convenient" She smiled, "My mother always told that Mira meant peace, it would have been great if I could have given my kingdom peace so I wouldn't have to be in this situation today."

I closed my eyes as the pain hit me as I remembered her memory, "I'm sorry about your family, I could see that you cared about them very much and you tried to help them but they didn't take heed to your warnings."

"Yes but perhaps I could have done more for them and they'd still be alive or at least a portion of our generation."

Mira closed her eyes, my guess she was reliving the memories in her head. I can't even tell what she's feeling right now, but I know it still hurts, from the depths of her heart. I still feel her pain as she watched her loved ones life fade.

It made me feel like my heart was shattering in a heart numbing pain.

"I promise to consult with you before taking over again." I was snapped out of my revere as I looked at those red eyes.

"That would be most appreciated," I smiled. "Can I ask you a question Mira."

"Of course."

"Why are your eyes red, is that how you were born?"

"No, my eyes were of a hazel color, but since they tortured me, I became what you see now."

"Oh I'm sorry I asked." I said knowing that was a sensitive topic for her.

"That's alright, the past is the past even if I have certain feelings towards it."

"Well they are kind of kool to look on." I said trying to lighten the mood.

I sighed, it still felt like so much to deal with.

"So does that mean we can be a superhero or something, like Jean from X men or wonderwomen." I laughed, it felt so unreal.

"That decision is entirely up to you."

I looked at her, actually looked at her and then I started laughing, remembering the boys. Which was one weird movie, how I watched it, simple, without parental consent.

"Well I can't be a hero right now, I need to be thinking about my own life since you got me into this mess, I can't wait to come out of this place."

"I apologize for that as well."

"Well you can make it up to me by not doing nothing this stupid in the future, and besides now I feel like I have a special bond with you, I felt your pain and their pain, kind of like we are sisters." We are now each other's anchors, I guess I have found mine.

She looked up at me with a smile, I knew what she was thinking. She now have a family to care about.

I was now sitting in class with a major headache. I guess being partially awake while sleeping is not something I should do often nor for long hours, everything had consequences.

I was zoning in and out of class and I didnt even realize the boy standing infront of me or the fact that class was dismissed.

Shit, he asked me out which meant he's back for an answer.
