Chapter 85: Lo'ak and Tsireya

(Credits to Kayinuh, on TikTok. I'll be using their idea. Why is it so sad🥲 but I like to watch people suffer 😀)

POV: First person, Lo'ak

Flashback, to the day of Neteyam's death.

I lost my brother and I blame myself. I deprived my father of his firstborn. In his eyes, everything was my fault.

I almost lost him too. In fact, I would have if I hadn't rebelled against his orders. I thought this would've meant nothing but...

The three words, I thought he'd never utter to me, "I see you," I felt his genuine embrace. He was being sincere.

It took a son to die, for him to see the other...

Present time

I was sitting at our usual spot, waiting for Tsireya. Thoughts run through my head, Neteyam's death, him being alive again, Y/n leaving, Quaritch still being alive, Spider saving him...

I rest my back on a tree, looking up at the big leaves covering the clear sky.

So much is happening...

"That's odd," I looked around the forest, "the first time she's a little late,"

I shrugged it off, "I'm sure she'll come soon," I relaxed.

Staring at the pond beside me I stared at my reflection, my eyes, my nose, my eyebrows... my hands. I raised it to see it in the reflection of the water.

Staring at this alien, demon hand, I sighed loudly. Putting it down, I looked up at the sky again.

"Lo'ak?" Tsireya popped out of nowhere, causing me to scream and fall into the water.

She gasped, "Lo'ak?! Oh I'm so sorry," she couched down.

I gasped, splashing water, "You- you scared me," I smirked and laughed.

She giggled and cover her mouth with her hand. I love her laugh.

"Here," she brought her hand out, "let me help you up," I took her hand, bringing me back to land again.

We both smiled at each other, "oh right! Since you have already done well with manners. I was thinking of moving on to something more complicated,"

For the past year, Tsireya has been helping me with sign language, to communicate with people underwater. Her lessons are very helpful and I can spend more quality time with her.

"Okay," I nodded and we both sat down on near the sea shore, "What were you doing,' I asked, smirking, placing a hand on my cheek, and resting my elbow on my knee.

"Oh me? I was just talking to your sister and then we met up with Y/n," She turned to me with concern, "You know I feel very mean saying this but... Y/n has a very odd personality," I nodded.

she continue to talk, "Like at sometimes she's happy. Sometimes she's sad. Sometimes she's angry. Today she said that what if we aren't real," she sighed and shook her head, "that poor girl, I wonder what runs through her head all the time," I hummed.

She looked at me more intensly, "Are you listening," She asked, raising a brow.

"huh- uh what," I lost track, "Oh yeah I'm listening," I smirked and looked up at her.

She laughed and brought her head down, "No you're not. You're just staring at me," she lighty pushed my head. When she was about to let go, I took her hand with mine.

She smiled at me. Her smile is genuine but broken at the same time. I could feel her pain... I know for a fact that Neteyam's death had broken and traumatized her. I don't know how she is able to smile till this day, but it's tells me, that she is a strong woman.

After a few days of my brother death, she did not do much, just stayed in her home. I wasn't able to comfort her and her comforting me, cause at her tragic moments she wanted to be alone.

Till this day, I still feel guilty, on leaving my brother's body with her. I knew that leaving her, she'll traumatized, but I had to save the rest of my family, before anyone else got hurt.

I shook my head, to stop these thoughts and smiled back at her.

"Do you know what a girlfriend and boyfriend is," I asked her, tilting my head.

"What?" 🙂
