The magic in us: The Cross Of Two Souls

13: Explosions And Disasters

"I don't know what to do anymore, I want to listen to Ms. psycho but where do I even begin," I say falling on my back.

"She just told you to fix what's inside you, what does that mean for you?" Rorie says sitting next to me.

Making room I start to think about it.

"Does she mean my trauma? She could mean my emotions, why is this so hard to figure out" I say picking up a few small rocks from the ground.

They lean into their hands and stare into the sky as they say, "maybe it's understanding, you've been fighting against the Covenant the whole time but maybe there's an in-between you can exist in"

They have a point. I can create a compromise, granted I'll still hate them but I'll at least be able to tolerate them more than I do now.

"Yeah maybe, got any plans today?" I ask and they get up.

"Yeah, getting off this cold rooftop, you do realize that it's fall, it's too cold to be up here," they say gesturing for me to get up.

They help me up and we head back inside.

"You got any plans?" They ask and I smile.

"Yeah, I got a date later tonight," I say and they grab my shoulders, stopping me in my tracks.

"You have a date and didn't tell me? Are you starting to forget about me?" They say jokingly and I roll my eyes in response.

Stepping through the window I say, "as if I could get rid of you and I was kinda busy yesterday with the whole...thing"

"Oh yeah, well I hope you have a great time tonight, let me know if you need anything," they say heading for the door.

Before they walk out they spot Adam. Greeting and hugging each other, they finally take their leave.

"How are you holding up?" Adam asks as I fall onto the couch.

"I'm good, we talked about a lot of things but it still left more confusion but I'll get through it, I always do," I say turning on the TV.

I can tell that he's staring and thinking of something.

He blocks the view of the TV and says, "your acting more sluggish than normal"

"I'm not acting sluggish, I'm just tired, I think all the excitement from the past few weeks are finally catching up with me," I say jokingly and he cracks a smile.

He quickly hides it and says, "no we're not doing this, we've got to do something"

"Why, why can't I just rest here for a day" I whine and he gives me that look like he's not taking no for an answer.

"Ugh, what do you have in mind?" I say sitting up.

Now he smiles as he says, "give me an hour to figure that out"

He rushes to his room and I yell "just don't make it too long, I have a date remember!"

I hope he heard that.

At least I have an hour to just unwind before he makes me do something active cause knowing him, that's exactly what he'll do.

I make myself comfortable on the couch for the time being and scroll through social media.

My eyes slowly start getting heavy until I completely pass out.

Waking up in a pile of leaves I find myself in a forest.

Dusting myself off, I look around and find a path to follow.

Walking along the path I hear twigs snap behind me and when I turn around I see a masked person holding a knife.
