Between Earth and Gods Part 2

Chapter 5: Purity and Decay

'Word the author: I'm sorry it took so long to take this chapter out, but as you will probably see by far longer than the other chapters, I needed some time to gather my thoughts and I also strayed from my original ideas a bit, not to mention I lacked motivation at times. I may be more motivated if people seem to be interested in my creations, simply adding a comment or voting for my story, and promoting it may motivate me more and I'll advance in my story faster. My usual writing program expired its yearly license and I switched to the free version of Office Suite, still using the free version of Grammarly. Thank you to all those who supported me so far and gave my story a read even if skipping through my story.'

Murmurs and whispers are heard as in a dream becoming clear words as the young man wakes up. He'd wish for nothing more than to stay in bed and catch up on some more sleep, but he has tasks to attend to, and the workload recently increased needing to be attended promptly until the children's scheduled departure comes. He wakes up and with a swift move he puts his T-shirt on, and gets out of bed, stretching with a yawn.

Twin A: - Good morning Virgil, the only time you wake up so late is when you are wounded, or hurt ... Did your wounds open up again?

Young Lady: - No, we just had to talk about some things and it took more time than we realized.

Fat boy: - It must have been a memorable night, it's the 1st time in forever we've ever seen you wake up so late.

Being the oldest of the children and the only legal teenager between them he has a somewhat understanding of what a couple might do behind closed doors or sight, of course, the reckless boy has some kind of knowledge on the matter but it's not yet well sunk in ...

Young Lady:- It's not what you think, or how I'd wished it to be, but it was nonetheless a memorable night.

Reckless Boy: - For a second there I thought you finally grew a brain, but I guess I had high expectations from you, once born as a fool you die as a fool, and what's worse is that from their natural way of thinking they go through life without realizing how many people they hurt or how many hearts they break ... You are no different, and your charm makes you more dangerous ...

Fat Boy: - Your idealistic way of being and thinking kept us safe until now, but with time it also built scars, and now they run deep at some more than others, and soon blood will start dripping out of some of them, you need to forsake some of that idealistic way of being if not for yourself at least for the rest of us ...

Twin B: - Wow, I didn't understand a word you said, but it seemed so poetic, so beautiful. it's not perfect but still a solid 8 out of 10 ... did you come up with this on the spot?

Fat Boy: - No, I needed hours to think of this ...

Twin A: - But, what does it mean?

Fat Boy: - It's a message for Virgil, if he doesn't understand then nothing will change and all my hard work will remain unrewarded.

Young Lady: - He may be a fool but one that cares, probably more than any of us here. We will see a positive change soon enough, if not today then tomorrow ... because that's just the way he is, smart but clueless, wise yet blind, now that we opened his eyes and showed new variables to him, change will come for the better ... Because that's just the way he is ...

Reckless Boy: - But no matter how you try, he won't even lay a finger on you ...

Twin B: - He won't lay a finger on her? Is it something romantic like father would have done with mother if she was still alive? ... like dancing in the darkness in the moonlight, like I saw in a movie once?

Twin A: - I remember that movie, that scene was so romantic ...

Young Lady: - More or less like that ...
