The Ways of Leland

Opening my eyes

 I feel the goddess warm lips against my head. They stood still, then they blew up. I felt a fire spreading through me. I fall to my knees. I let out an astounding below. This all occurred within a second. It felt like an hour.

The woman allowed me to drop. She let go of my head. I felt the world around me fading away...

"Sleep, my darling. Your newest mission will begin soon." The goddess states as she too slips away..

I woke up back in my room. I felt as if I did go to the party and got a mean hangover. I walk over to the mirror, where I see another way of Leland.

The reality of life can be escaped by going through a mirror, But someone will always be blocking your way.

When I got to school, i was sitting in class with my head burning. The area where the goddess kissed me is burning with strange heat. It feels like i am sitting in front of a campfire, my hands being sizzled by the flames.

Yes, you are walking through the flames, but will you get burned?

I somehow knew that the voices i hear through the calling are lost souls. They search the land, wanting desperately trying to find people, like me, who can hear their lonely wails. I am one such person who can hear them so they stick near me.

Kits is also in class and is currently giving me an earful about how I missed the party."What did you do!! You dont have a life or anything to do with your poor existence, you should have been the first there!" She scolded me.

Kits voice is still as light hearted as ever. It didn't sound like she was yelling, it was more of an exaggerated angry voice. She still smiled, as bright as the sun. It was that smile, the one that burned my soul yet made me feel whole, that made me be so jealous of her.

I kinda just stood there. What was i to say? "Well, i saw a man get horribly murdered in front of my eyes, met a woman who might be a goddess or a woman who needs to be on the cover of vogue, then i became a regalia whatever that means. "

Kits still stood there, waiting for an answer i didn't have. "Well," I started." I kinda got lost around there-"

"Don't give me that." KIts seemed pretty sad. She frowned a bit." If you didn't want to come, you could've just said that you didn't want to come."

" Oh give the guy a break, kitty, he probably had some dark poems and rituals to do." Mike, my guy best friend said, with much monotone.

Mike is a freaking genius, which barely starts to describe this kid. He was a bit shorter than me, but what he lacked in length he got in strength. He had been new to my type of lifestyle, thinking that I was a emo with no life. I sighed at him. Mike snorted.

Before I could answer, our teacher walked in, "Let's get started, shall we?" Everyone shuffled to get into their seats. Then the lesson started.

Our teacher started to talk about the pythagorean theorem, which is very boring and unnecessary to life. I immediately zoned out, thinking about what food i am going to eat when I get home. I sat in the back. So it was okay for me to zone. My eyes started to wander. Kits was trying to write down everything the teacher was saying like the genius she is. But there was something wrong. Her pen wasn't moving.

My head whipped around the class. No One was moving their anything! Even the teacher stopped moving.

"So you noticed." A familiar voice stated. The goddess!

There she was, just sitting on top of the desk in front of me. Her slim tan legs were crossed in front of her. They looked so perfect. Her back was fully erect. Her azure eyes sparkled in the morning sun light. In her hand was another soul. The blue flames did not look as bright as before. It must have been brighter in the night. Was it the same one as before?
