Born of Twilight

Chapter 7: "The Confession"

"I'll take a Spinach & Bacon Omelette" She said in such a manner you would think she's never eaten out before.

It was later on in the day after our little make-out session. I decided to throw on some of the clothes Kyrees' father left, and left the house. Now we're at Café Peur like always.

"Macrx, you ordered two stacks of pancakes, a meat-lovers omelette, and a Jr. Sausage Burger. What happened in two days that made you so hungry?" She asked playfully, even though it was obvious she was concerned.

"It wasn't what happened," I started "I just hadn't eaten since I left The Café two days ago" I tried to finish but couldn't help stuffing my face with salad.

Regardless of time, I've never been hungry like this before in my life. I suppose it has to do with the weird abilities that keep popping up. Maybe they're taking effect on my body.

"Hey Macrx, would you mind telling me what happened a couple if days ago?"

I stopped stuffing my face and gulped down whatever was left in my throat

"I don't know exactly..."

I tried to explain what had happened without worrying her

"After I left the Café with my headache, I got to some alleyways before my head hurt so bad I passed out. When I woke up, my head was clear, and it was dead silent outside. When I got home, I climbed in my window like always... And I was standing just a moment... until I heard what had sounded like a jet breaking the sound barrier. When I looked up everything was in shambles, and then I heard a voice before I passed out."

She looked at me with surprise

"What did the voice say, Macrx?"

She asked..

"I don't remember..." I lied.

And then my mind raced to the last thing the voice said to me

"I'll be watching you... as I have been for the last 7 millennia, waiting for you to come again..."

Then my mind boggled once again.

"Hey is there something wrong?" she asked

I tried keeping my headache in check. But this time, I was battling a beast. There was a loud screeching in both my ear drums, my eyes felt as if I was on fire. I felt if somebody was peeling my skin off.

"Macrx! Hey!" she said loudly and concerned

"JUST SIT DOWN" I yelled at her

And at my amazement, she listened, frightened by the tone I used with her.

After a matter of two minutes. The sensations of hell disappeared. I picked up my head, from where it was in contact with the table, while i was cringing for dear life. Knowing, that if I tried to open my eyes, they would sear from the oxygen, I kept them shut. Just a few seconds later, I heard the news click on.

"BREAKING NEWS! AS OF TWO NIGHTS AGO, EIGHTY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MURDERED. SIGHTS OF CARNAGE LINE THE STREETS, SLASH MARKS ACROSS SEVERAL DEAD BODIES."

I opened my burning eyes long enough to make out battered and bloodied bodies laying across multiple streets. I felt a fiery glaze across my eyes, they glowed with rage. Just at that moment, Kyree screamed at me about something.

"Macrx,what the hell?! Why are your eyes Red??! Are you okay?"

Surprise swept across me, I practically flew to the bathroom and shoved a roll of toilet paper in the bottom hinge of the door to keep anyone out. I ran over to the mirror and glared deep into the glowing, dark-red eyes that seemed like strangers to me. The crimson iris pulsated with rage. I no longer knew what was happening to me, but I could contain it no longer. I demolished the glass with my fist, sending shards of glass everywhere.

There was a knocking at the door. "Hey Macrx. Please open up and come out. Whatever's wrong I can help you!" Kyree's voice cried.

I looked over at the door with my frustrated eyes. The anger in my growing by the second, I was almost gone. I ran to the door and slammed it open, surprisingly I wasn't attracting any attention to my situation. Unable to control my body, I grabbed Kyree by both arms and slammed her against the wall, my eyes were about to explode, I wanted to kill her...

"Macr----" She struggled to say

I thought of only one thing I could do to save both of us. I slammed my head into hers, forcefully pressing our lips together. All my anger submerged, and happy thoughts flourished. As I released tension, Kyree threw her arms around my neck, and pulled me in, not letting go for minutes. I lost track of time, but an old lady walked up trying to enter the restroom, as she saw us, she said.

"Oops, I'll just come back at another time then."

We both released each other and looked at the smiling old lady that paused, then walked off. we both started to chuckle.

"Macrx... What just happened to you?" she asked.

"Well.... I'm not really su--" I was interrupted by Kyrees' phone going off.

She looked down and answered. after saying a few things into the phone, she returned it to her pocket.

"Macrx, that was Officer Sky, it was about your house.We need to go now!" she exclaimed. After we payed our tab and got our things together, we left the Café as soon as possible.
