The Children of Light

Chapter 12- Kiara

I grimly looked out the window. Today is the day in which I ask Blake for his decision. I was trying to be positive but I just had this feeling that he was going to reject me.

I felt really annoyed. What is in him that made me feel this way to him? Why do I want him to come with me so badly? "That's because, Kiara, you have always been lonely and alone." I thought to myself. I had always accepted that truth, but now having someone else besides family in my life felt good.

I decided to be brave and not to be negative. I'll just go by his house this afternoon to ask him about his decision but right now I needed a walk outside to relieve all this stress of seeing him again. Also the fact that I still need to get my parents.

I walked out the door and listened to the birds outside. I watched them jump around and chirp. Why can't I be like them, so care free without a care for the world? My mind started wandering and I didn't realized where I was going until I felt two dim presences that weren't close enough for me to figure out who they were, but close enough for me to feel them in the back of my head.

That's when I noticed I was close to the mall. I was pretty curious on who they were since one of them felt pretty familiar. They didn't feel threatening so I didn't bother conceal my presence or hide myself.

I turned a corner around the mall and then I saw them. It was Blake with his girlfriend. They were holding hands and the girl was talking about something excitedly. I felt something heat up in me. Anger. How dare he waste time with his girlfriend here at the mall shopping when his parents were in trouble.

I started walking toward them. I was so angry. I felt face flush from the anger and something else. Jealousy? Envy? Well, it didn't matter. I need to solve this once and for all.

The girl hadn't seem to notice me yet, but I saw that Blake did because his eyes widened when we had eye contact.

"Leave now or conceal yourself quickly!" he yelled using telegraph since we can communicate in certain distances with our minds.

I angrily replied, "What do you think? This is all just a game?!"

"I'll explain later, please leave before I do something that you will regret."

"No, I need you to explain this right now."

He saw that there was no changing my mind and that he was running out time before his girlfriend notices me.

He quickly grabbed his girlfriend's waist and pulled her close. I stopped dead in my tracks as I watched him lean his face close to her. I watched as I felt my heart rip and his face dipped until his lips were on hers.

She seemed surprised at this unexpected kiss but recovered and wrapped her arms around his neck. So they kissed with his hands on her waist and her hands around his neck with lips interlocked.

"Hurry, hide your presence. I can't keep this up." he said and his voice sounded strained and desperate in my head.

I quickly recovered from my shock and replied, "Fine, I will only if you come with me for my parents."

"I will. Anything. Just hurry. Please?"

"Don't forget what you said, I'll meet you at your house later."

I quickly whispered the spell of concealment but continued to watch the couple. Blake had quickly pulled away and looked embarrassed as hell which seemed really funny to me even though I wished that I was the one being kissed. I grinned evilly and knew this will just be one of the things that I would make fun of him about.
