"The Lost Boy of Atlantis"

Chapter 8

A/N: This is what happened to Mew when Gulf wasn't around for so long :-{

***

Mew was sobbing. Everything hurts on him at this moment especially his heart. Gulf has been out for about 8 hrs, was he planning to really leave him to rot like this? Maybe Gulf really wanted to dispatch him then. He knows he shouldn't think this way but he just can't help it. How can he not? If Gulf wasn't going back for him for so long already. Wasn't he worried even a little? Too bad for him to think he was someone important. He clenched his fist and forced himself to stop crying. He must trust Gulf and forget being a weakling.

Although he was only a human unlike the people here who has powers, he still should think of ways to do things on his own ways. He must not back down and be brave to face all the possible consequences that they might get after disobeying the norms in this island. This mindset of his will be really convincing if Gulf was here with him, discussing and talking everything out for settlement. But where is he? He doesn't have an idea. As he was in deep thoughts he became unaware of the arrival of the person who will end his mystery. A man he knows, no other than the king, Gulf's father.

He rose his chin up and saw the man's stern face as usual. The king never changed the expression on his face, he had witnessed it a couple times already. Although he was commanding, disappointed, sad, happy or angry. All he does is to make a poker face. So, you can't really know and identify his feelings through his face, that's why it will all matters on the words he will say.

"You're still here." the King started

"Seems like my son really like you." he continued.

"Do you know where he is? Please let me see him. Is he alright?" Mew worriedly ask ignoring the King's first statements and forgetting about the fact that he should be polite and not talk casually cause he was talking to a king.

"I can bring you to him." Mew smiled thinly as the king said that to him. He also break the spell of the shield so it was now gone already.

Mew knew he shouldn't trust the king a 100% because he knows that the latter want them to be separated. But he had no other choice, he is desperate to know where Gulf is. They walked for about 3 minutes until Mew feels something like deja vu. After a lot of thinking and observing, the event of their first meeting of Gulf pops on his mind. Its been 3 months since he arrived here so he didn't instantly realized the path they are going. When all of the memories flooded in his mind sink in like the singing Gulf whom he thought at first as an angel and how he pleaded for Gulf to make him stay at least for a week, he already know what the King is up to. He will make him out of the portal forcefully. He is clever enough but why the hell he let himself be tricked by this cruel king?

His desperation leads him into trouble.

"You are clever, so you already realized that I will going to drag you out of my kingdom." the king suddenly talked, back facing him. He paled. How the hell can he win over this creature who can read mind? He closed his eyes and breathed a deep sigh.

"Please, can't you just let me see Gulf at least for one last time?" his voice cracked and the tears are overflowing no matter how much he hold back.

The king faced him and showed him an image where Gulf is. He was shocked to saw him with another guy and worst they are kissing. He hold his mouth to suppressed his cries but it didn't help, it just gets louder and louder until he can't take it anymore and he request on the king to stop it. He was lifeless.

"So, do you want to go back now?" the king asked expressionless. He shook his head.

"I still want to talk to Gulf. I will only believe on him." he said bravely. The king creased his brows.

It was the truth that he was affected by the scene he watched, that's why he cried so hard but he is not idiot to believe it so easily. Gulf had told him before that the king is capable of anything so he believe that the scene that he just watched right now is only an illusion.

"Bravo. I admire your cleverness and courage." the king flip his finger and with that, he floats on the air, he got startled and panic but he didn't let that emotions shown on his face. He tried his best to look calm and composed. He is still thinking positively that Gulf sooner or later will be there, for him.

But Gulf never showed up until the last minute.

He called him and shouted his name as louder as he can for like a thousand times already. But to his dismay no one comes for him. No Gulf.

The king gave him a wicked smile before throwing him to the portal. As soon as he was thrown, everything went black. But only one thing is for sure that's been clouding on his mind, its Gulf, his angel.
