Soul

Chapter 7

Love.

My Heart of confusion

My life that had been missing a piece

Of my puzzle

Had found it

And put it all together

Now I see that beautiful picture

That it shows

The colors and patters

The feelings and emotions

My adventure on this road

Has just

Begun.

Chapter 7

We had stayed that way for a while. Just accepting that now we had found, and realized, what we had been missing. Our other halves, each other. I felt blessed. I fell asleep that night easily, like I was floating on a cloud. I crawled into my fluffy bed, and before I fell asleep, I looked at my walls that have been covered with things that have happened in the past days, the furniture and the building. Even the people I had met. There was a little empty spot in the middle of it all. I wondered what I would paint there. I fell asleep after that.

I had just wondered around the rest of the day after figuring things out with Joy. I know I am not a romantic person, I know I am not the Mr. Right, and I know I am not the innocent guy. I wondered what Joy had seen in me though. But right now, it didn’t matter to me, because I had her now. But the thing that worried me the most, I had someone to fight for now; someone to protect. But how? Against this King of Darkness, I’m powerless. It’s my greatest fear of that day, when I can’t protect her, or the others.

I had flown down to the 5th floor, where the bedrooms were. I was about to go into my room, when I looked at Joy’s. I felt like an idiot, but I went in anyways. She was asleep on the bed, she looked like a baby, sound asleep. I wondered why I found her annoying at first, why I didn’t like her. I think it was because I didn’t, and wasn’t aloud, to know for a while. But when I did find out, why? That’s a question I can’t answer myself. I know even with my powers, I am no Super Man. I am no saint, I am no romantic. I walked over to her, and sat on the side of her bed, she slept soundlessly. I moved a hair that was on her eye behind her ear. I just watched her sleep for a while. It was the most calming, and peaceful thing I had been, and felt in a long time. And then I just mentally punched myself in the face. WHAT THE HELL WAS I DOING?!

I went to bed shortly after that, I quietly closed her door, and walked into my room. What am I becoming, and what was going to happen next, was something I wondered as I laid onto my bed that night.

I woke up the next morning, got dressed, brushed my hair, and got up. I opened my door to see Aiden there. "I have something I want to show you." He grabbed my hand, and we ran down the hallway. "What’s gotten into you? Where are we going?" I asked him, he jumped off the edge, put me in his arms, and flew down the entrance/exit. "You’ll see." He said to me, smiling. I decided to go with it, and smiled back at him.

He brought me to the edge of the building, where he had dropped me when we got here, and I had to run to catch up with him. The gates were open, and a forest was in front of us. It was not the same one that we went through to get into the glass and get here, it was… brighter. It looked magical. He put me down. "Follow me." He told me. I grabbed his hand, so I wouldn’t lose him. He just walked quickly, and made me into a jog to keep up, as we hurried over to an unknown place.

We had gone through rocks, bushes, trees that hit my face, and when they did Aiden laughed, and I hit him with a stick that I found on a ground, making him laugh even more. "Where are we going?" I asked again. He looked straight ahead," Somewhere." He said. When he said that, it reminded me when I asked him, when he took me that day in the park. I sighed and shut up. He moved another collision of tree branches, and revealed a beautiful meadow. I had let go of his hand, and took a few steps forward, we were surrounded by trees, but there was this huge area of just wild grass and flowers. IT was like that one place in the book, ‘Twilight’. I spun in circles as I walked around. I felt like a happy little kid again. I laughed," This place is BEAUTIFUL!" I shouted, I was in the middle of it by now, and really dizzy. When I stopped spinning, I fell down. "You klutz." Aiden said to me, bringing a hand to help me up. I had regained my focus and grabbed his hand, seeing he was off guard, I pulled him down. I stood above him," Who’s the klutz now, wing boy?" I teased. He smiled and tripped my leg, making me fall backwards. He rolled on top of me," Dummy. You can’t beat the master." He said, referring to himself. He was on top of me and I just laughed. It felt like we were both kids again. "You moron," I teased at him," get off me." "Make me." He challenged getting his face close to mine. Naturally, my face turned hot red. Aiden was completely different from how he used to act and treat me. He treated me nicely, and lovingly. I know we had only figured this out yesterday, but it felt like now, our love has been happening for years. I pecked him on the lips, not expecting that, he let his guard down, and I pushed him over. "Haha! I am VICTORIUS!" I shouted. "You weirdo." He said to me, and we lay down beside each other, staring into each other’s eyes for a long time.
