A Secret and a Lie

A Secret and a Lie Part Two

Mike and I walked down the town later this day. It was cool and the town was getting prepared for the Holly Host."Why are upset?"asked Mike."Your father or something?"I sighed and looked at the ground."Yeah.",I answered."What is he hiding from me?" Mike looked at me and sighed."Don't know,Resa. Maybe something bad is happening and he wants to keep you safe." I groaned and stepped in front of Mike."I know we had problems with our past,but Mike,you have to know something.",I whispered under my breathe. Mike sighed and looked beyond me. His greyish,blue eyes shone and his smile was faded."Sorry Mike.",I sighed. Mike looked at me and used a fake smile on me. "No Resa.",he smiled."It's okay,but really. You need to calm down and worry about your father later..unless it's really important. But,I just want to see you smile." I rolled my eyes and Mike walked in front of me. I sighed and looked behind myself. Before I walked toward Mike, I saw a piece of blonde hair and a face I could remember,but who?

"Soo..",said a lady at the desk. Mike and I were at Jenua Hotel to visit his family before Holly Host began."Your the next in throne and you're her friend?" Mike nodded and tried to keep his face straight. "Can we just head to Room Eighty Six?"asked Mike. I sighed and leaned against the counter. "She's here..",whispered a voice. I raised my head and looked behind me. Two men-in orange and gold-looked at me then the floors. "She caught us. We should tell the leader. He said he saw her,but she saw him and acted as if she didn't know him.",said the one on the right. The other nodded and they walked off. I tapped Mike and whispered into his ear,"I'll be right back."  Mike nodded and sighed.  I walked away and followed the men until they stopped at the water well. "I saw her following us. We should start a small chat with her and leave.",said one of them. "Agree.",said the other. I sighed and frowned. I really didn't need to talk to them-just try to hear what they were saying about me. The men came over, but I had to walk toward Mike. I didn't want Mike to think the wrong thing at all. "Ready ,Resa?"asked Mike. I nodded and we walked upstairs. The men sighed and walked over to the lady at the desk. "Where are they going?"asked the one on the right-his face firm and thick.

Mike opened the door and his mother,father,and his father's mother. "Mike!"cried his mother. She long,sliver like hair with a little bit of blue  shone through. "I'm so glad you made it!" Mike smiled and to his mother to give her a hug. "Same here!"he said cheerfully."I'm just glad your all okay. I wanted to come over and stay until the Holly Host was ready." Mike's father nodded and smiled. His pale face matched his light blue eyes and sliver, gray hair. " Why is that.."he said,but trailed off when he pulled me into the small room. Mike's father's mother was pale and she looked very ill. Her green eyes were dull and she coughed up a little. "Resa.",whispered Mike's mother. "It's good to see you.."Something told me she wanted to say "again",but there was no "again". I waved and looked at Mike. He had a straight face and was trying to stay focus with me. "What brings you by?"asked Mike's father. "A message perhaps?" I shook my head and looked at the weak lady. "My father.",I answered. "Has something for me." Mike coughed and frowned at me. I sighed and looked at his parents. They both looked scared and in horror at the same time."How did she get sick?"i asked,trying to change the subject. Mike's father sighed and looked at his mother. "She has Joinest. The cancer that comes when you turn a hundred.",he answered. "I really don't want to talk much about it. There is no cure and will never.." Mike sat next to his father and whispered. "It will be okay. She'll be fine Father." I felt upset, because my only aunt died of Joinest. "I can cure her.",I cried,wishing I never said that in an upsetting way. Mike's mother looked at me and shook her head. "How?"she asked,tears coming down her face. "Tell me?" I sighed and walked over to the weak  lady. Her head was resting on a yellow towel (which was over a pillow) and her face, warmer than the  summer. I pulled a small bottle out of my jean pocket and poured a little into the woman's mouth. "Just give her this every day, four times."I said and looked at my watch. "All it is Hadu. It should cure her in a month or two-no later."Mike looked at me with his mouth opened wide. His parents had smiles and stood up to hug me. "Thank you,Resa!"cried Mike's mother. His father pat me on the back and smiled bigger. I nodded and walked over to Mike. "We should be going. It's time for the Holly Host.",I said. Mike nodded and we walked out the room-quiet and quickly.
