Chapter 22: My Definition

“Mia are you already ready to go to school?” my mom asked me, she’s my other mom. I pulled my self together and took a deep breath.

I nodded, the end of the school year is drawing near. Which means a lot of requirements will be given to us, I smiled at her “Where’s my other family?” I asked as I look at the watch.

It’s already seven o’clock which means I still have an hour to prepare myself and to go school.

“They’re downstairs my dear, I will drive you to school” she said. It’s weird because I should be angry at them but I am not, there’s a big relief in my heart right now that I already know every secret.

It’s sunny out there, I love the feeling of the sun. It reminds me of my childhood memory, the freedom and the feeling of being not afraid of losing anything.

“I will wait for you outside my dear” my mom said after combing my hair. “Promise me you will never leave me again” I said like a child and looked her in the eyes.

She cracked a smile, “I promise I won’t leave you” she said and kissed my forehead.

I already went down and closed my door gently, I sprinted down the stairs and started waltzing in the kitchen. My parents can’t look at me straight, they immediately look away when they suddenly look at me.

Siolyn’s eyes are filled with tears as she bows down her head, her food is in front of her and it looks like she haven’t eaten yet.

I hugged her “I will always be your older sister, I promise” I said as tears fell on my shirt. “Will you still spend your eighteenth birthday with us?” she said and looked me in the eyes.

Her beautiful green eyes looks so innocent and pure, I nodded “I will still be here and I won’t ever leave you” I said and hugged her.

I turned around and my mom hugged me “I am so sorry for keeping the truth from you. We love you Mia” my mom cried. I looked at my father, he looks scared.

It’s the same look when my parents had a fight and my mom nearly left us. He is trying to hide the pain in his chest, he looked away and continued reading the newspaper.

I know that I will totally miss them but I have to move on. The food tastes delicious as usual just like mom used to make.

“We should go” my father said in a casual tone and put on his shoes. “I will go with my biological mom” I said.

He looked me in the eyes, I know that it is painful for him because most of the time he drives us to school. This is the first time that I rejected him.

I hugged him tightly and closed my eyes “You will still be the coolest dad ever, I love you” I smiled and kissed him on the cheeks before walking to my mom, Anjelika’s car.

The last time that I kissed him on the cheeks is when they had a fight. I remember telling him “Dad please be a man, go and find mom. I will take care of my sister”.

I looked at him as the memory flashed back, I blinked at smiled at them before waving my hand.

“This is not goodbye right mom?” I said after fastening my seatbelt. I cupped my face with both of my hands and took a deep breath.

“You can still visit them Mia, I am not taking the privilege of visiting them and having fun with them” Anjelika, my mom said as she drives.

We arrived at the school, I went inside of my room and saw my classmates busy with other subjects. I sat down and placed my bag below my chair “Did I miss something?” I asked my seatmate.

She looked at me and patted my shoulder “What happened to you, did you forget Algebra, Chemistry, Bio and Geometry?” she said.

I raised my left eyebrow and just looked at her “We have quizzes on the four subjects and we have an assignment on those subjects”.

My heart started beating fast, I am scared of what could happen. I opened my bag and opened my envelope, I saw my assignments done.

I took a long deep breath, I remember that I was busy with my assignments the night before the camp.

Papers are being turned quickly, all of us started scanning the solutions on Algebra. I placed in mind that this could be my last quiz and that I don’t want to fail.

Our teacher entered in and he gave us the quiz, I looked at the questionnaire from top to bottom. I am saved, I completely understand this lessons.

After the subject, I look around to find Justin. He is not here, I texted him. Where are you?

It’s killing me, I don’t know where he is right now and how he is doing. My hands are a little bit shaking, I look at my seatmate.

I keep on looking around, searching for clues where he could have been. My mind is floating trying to find him. “Have a little faith, please Mia” Kevin whispered in my ears.

He is here again, why can’t his soul rest in peace? I looked at him “Don’t give me that look, I know that look you’re scared because he might forget you”.

I pursed my lip and tucked my hair behind my ear. What if Isabelle is with him? I shook my head and cupped my face. I don’t want to think of such thing but it’s making me.

Daniel’s POV

 I went to Alexandria’s mansion, her body guards who are also fallen gave me a wicked smile. “You must be crazy” one of them told me and laughed.

Then the group started laughing and throwing rocks at me, I didn’t mind them. “I am here to talk to Alexandria”.

“You’re insane! You will be dead, have you told your brother that you might not come back; how is Isabelle by the way?” Beata said and pushed Daniel away with such force using her power.

“Enough!” Alexandria said and made Daniel stand up. “Are you here to make revenge for Mia?” she said and clapped her hands.

I nodded “I want you to release her, don’t you dare touch her” I said in a raspy voice and looked her in the eyes.

“And what is the catch?” Alexandria asked as she waltzes around her mansion. The paintings are painted during the early fourteenth century, I looked around and saw the mansion is filled with such paintings.

She sat down on her sofa, it looks very expensive. Everything in her house is expensive, it all looks antique and great in the eyes.

A butler gave her a glass of wine, she smiled at him and gave him the cue to leave. I hesitated to sit down, it might be a trap.

I can hardly read her mind, it’s full of random ideas. “I am willing to sacrifice my life just for her freedom” I added and looked away.

There’s a smile on her face, she raised her eyebrow at me. “Not enough still, who will you save Mia or Isabelle?” she said and took a sip of the wine.

The question is very difficult to answer both of them became a part of my life. I don’t want to commit the same mistake again.

She repeated her question “Who will you choose Mia or Isabelle?” she said in a lower voice and stood up.

“Fine, if you won’t answer my question. I want you to, suffer” she said and started playing with her powers she lifted me up and throw me anywhere like a toy.

The cycle went on and on, “Please set her free” I begged and looked at her for the last time.
