Syna and the Worlds End

Chapter 20: The Power of Love

I love Syna too much for my own good. As I’m laying here, holding her, listening to her breathing in and out, I remember that love is a weakness. I decided to close my eyes. Love is a weakness. If I keep telling myself that, maybe I’ll believe it again. Here is an example of love being a weakness.

I could burn the world down. I could destroy everything, rip families apart. I could make the human race go extinct and slaughter every animal, no matter how cute and cuddly. I could destroy the Council of Witches, allowing vampires to feed freely, helping me to complete my mission of destroying all life. However; I can only do this if I’m two-hundred and fifty percent sure that Syna was safe from all of this. As long as she was safe and alright, I could proceed to eradicate life from the planet. No one who stood against me would be safe. Even those who stood with me did not have a great chance of survival. I snuggled my nose into Syna’s neck. I would rebuild the world, but my way. With Syna having no memories, she could help. With me, her, Iridessa, Mom and maybe Dad, we could create the ideal world for all of us, with beautiful waterfalls and gorgeous oceans and beaches. Just us and maybe some of the people who stood with me. It would be perfect. I just need to tear this world down first. I pull Syna even closer to me. Peace. That is my goal in the end. All because of Syna. Without her, I would be content with the end of the world. I have even discussed this with Vex Venom himself, and he supports this. He even agreed to help. As long as Syna is happy, so am I. Her happiness is all that matters to me. Sleepiness consumes me. I let go of all thoughts and loosen my grip on Syna.

“Silas, wake up! Come on, let me go. Please?” A cute voice said from beside me. I groan and tighten my grip on her.

“No, you are going to stay right here until I’m ready to get up.” I say as firmly as I can in this sleepy state. She sighs.

“Silas, come on. I need to use the restroom. Also, your sister is staring daggers at you, so you may want to get up to talk to her.” Syna urges. I groan again as I let go of Syna. I then sit up.

“Need something, Iridessa?” I practically snap at her as Syna gets off the bed.

“Get up, you lazy bum. You, Mom, Miss Syna and I are going to the beach today. Mom got Miss Syna a swimsuit, so don't worry about that. Mom and I also want to talk to you before we go.” Iridessa said as she walked out the door. I change out of my pajamas and into normal clothes. I’ll change into my swimsuit at the beach. I walk out of the spare room, which is now Syna’s room, to go talk to my mother. As I approach her, her mouth curves into a smile.

“You stayed with Syna last night,” She states, still smiling.

“Yes. Yes I did.” I already knew there was no point in denying it, she probably walked in on us sleeping, so why not take pride in it?

“Well, good for you. Now, what Iridessa and I wanted to talk about was not your love life, it was her. Notice that she told you about Syna, Rubyrose and I, but not her. Iridessa, take it away.” Mom said, turning to Iridessa.

“You know that I am part witch, correct?” I nod. “So that would mean that I should have a special ability, right? No. I have special abilities. One of them is dream-hopping, which means I can view your dreams and interact with you through them. I can do that with dreams, daydreams and nightmares. Yes, I did see what you plan to do with the world, and I have nothing against it. Another ability of mine allows me to see your deepest, darkest desire, even the ones you are not aware of. My last ability is…Is…” Iridessa looks as if she is about to shed a tear.

“Come on, Des. He won't hate you, I promise.” Mom tells Iridessa in a comforting voice.

“Thanks Mom. You're the best. Silas,” Iridessa says, turning to me. “My last ability is that of, say, a corrupt cupid. I can make people who already love each other get together. Heaven, right? Wrong. The happiness only lasts from anywhere between three and six weeks. After those weeks are up, the fighting begins. I made them hate each other, and there is nothing I can do to reverse it. Think of it as giving them everything they ever wanted and making them wish they never wanted it in the first place.” Iridessa tells me sorrowfully. She takes a deep breath.
