The villain - Part 2

Chapter 5 - "A truce"

Conflicts among people who are interacting are natural . People have many differences in opinions , ideas , emotions , and behaviors , and these differences sometimes cause conflicts . How can such conflicts be resolved ? Two things are necessary for conflict resolution that does not leave one or more of the people involved feeling negative about the outcome : attitude and communication .

I woke up flabbergasted , how long has it been ? . It was morning , seems like I slept all night . I got ready and went downstairs . I walk slowly with the tip of my toes trying not to make any sound , not even the maids should see me . My shoe keeps gliding over the polished floor squeaking . I finally managed to get to the main door .

I let out a huff , damn it was cold . I look around  warping the scarf around my face .While walking I plan how the conversation goes . No way it's going smooth after that time .                       At the hospital , the nurses ask me who do I want to see , I answer them with the name , " Kyle " , they look judging , " He's dead , sir . " . And I got confused , right , he's dead , then who's in the room ? . I looked around with brooding eyes . Another nurse comes and pulls my arm , " Are you confused young man ? , can you describe the person to me ? " , she says warmly . I didn't know how to answer , Kyle is the same description as Kyle the villain ! . " A person from the fire ! " , I said in doubt . The nurse holds my hand and leads me to a room . " The person inside isn't stable at the moment " , The nurse says , " Give him this when you enter " , She said handing me an envelope . Before she leaves I ask worried , " What do you mean by 'isn't stable' ? " . " Oh " , She moaned , " I meant that he's in a bad mood , he doesn't want to say his name to us even " . I knocked on the door and let myself in . All my plans for a smooth talk felt unfeasible when he looked the other way as I entered . " Kyle " , I said sitting and putting the envelope on the table next to him . " Listen , we need to talk " , I spoke with a low voice . " Talk ? , about what ? " , he responded . A frog was stuck in my throat . His voice gets higher , " About what , Tyler ? " , he shouts , " About all what you've done ? , about how you ruined my entire life ?! " . I remained silent . " What Tyler ?! " , His voice louden, " You tried to kill me , you killed my sister , you tried to burn me , now what ?! " . I couldn't say a thing against his yelling , but one thing confused me , " What sister ? " , I said quietly . He paused and looked at me , " Charlotte . " , He responded . I looked at him in confusion as I have never known someone with that name . I stared at him nodding no . I tried to correct him , I thought he's mixing names up , " That wasn't the name of our sister . " , I said pulling my chair closer to him . He said with a quavering voice , " No , no , my sister ! , Charlotte my sister ! , she's dead , I saw her . " , And he started fidgeting around , as if trying to find something . He stops , " you don't know her ? " , he whispered threatening . I acknowledge , " no" . His eyes widened , " then , who did that ? " . He started muttering , I couldn't understand a word of what he's saying . He was confused , I couldn't blame him , though I don't know whose Charlotte , I demanded to know what happened to her . Kyle has given me a blank stare , " Help me " , he terrifyingly whispers . I shout , this was the only chance I could get closer to him , " How about , you stay at the castle , and I'll help you " . Blankly , he nods with yes . I was relived , it was a first step to fixing things up with him .

Before I left , I noticed flowers on the Table , I asked him , " Who gave you theses flowers ? " , considering that nobody would give him , nor that anyone actually loves him to leave him flowers . He answers , " I don't know if you heard about her , you know , Ruby Alarcon ? " , I feel fear in the hair on the back of my neck , " Mother visited you ? " , I said tremulously . He answers so calmly , as if it's a normal thing , " Yeah , Mom comes every once in a while and gets flowers or sometimes food " . Talk about favorite son . I leave running to the castle .

" How long have you been in touch with Kyle ? " , I yelled as soon as I saw my mother . She giggles and proudly says , " The castle wasn't the first place I came to , I knew he lived and I kept in touch with him " . I abruptly spoke , " For how long ? " . " From the day he woke up ! " , Said cheerfully , " Just after your horrible visit " . I sighed in anger , and I tried to race her all this time only for her to tell me this now ? .

Kyle is coming next week , I don't believe that there would be much preparation for it , but yet I'm nervous .
