I'm kneeling on the floor with the body of my dad next to me.
"Nooo! Noooo! Nooo!" I scream as I look at the bullet hole in his chest. Who would do this? My vision starts to turn red as my powers activate themselves. My anger rises and all I see is red. I scream again and clutch my Dad's body to me. No. No. No. Daddy please! I scream my little knuckles shake him slightly but don't move him much. My fire moves onto his shirt. He is a son of Hephaestus so it doesn't affect him. I keep crying as I shake his lifeless body. Then I hear footsteps behind me. No no no. I'm activated right now. If someone get's near me... I'll turn them to toast.
"GO AWAY!" I scream at whom ever is near me.
"Tia?" A voice behinds me says. No! Not him. Why? My body works on it's own acord. Noooo! I cry but my tears evaporate. I turn around and a little 5 year old boy with green eyes and dark hair looks at me concerned. I try to warm him, I yell at him to go away. All he does is move closer.
"Dio! I can't control myself!Not when I'm-" a huge flame bursts from my hands, missing him for just an inch. I fall to my knees, I almost hurt him! If I hurt him I won't be able to live with myself. It'll drive me crazy. The flame hits the wooden walls from the cabin. It all starts to burn down. Dio's eyes are wide with shock. I realice he's not using his powers to shut off the fire. He still comes closer and I realice he's trying to calm me down without it. He normaly just shoots water at me, and my fire is put out. But no, he's trying for me to control it. Damn it Dio! I can't and never will!
"Dio please I don't want you to get-" aaaaaahhhh! He screams as a wooden plank hits him in the head. "Nooooo!" I shout and try to help him but my feet get stuck in the floor and I watch as the house crumbles ontop of him. I keep screaming untill I pass out. He's gone... Forever!
I jump up to a sitting position, my hands go through my hair. I clutch at it and start to rock myself back and forth. Dio. Dio. Dio. Dio. Dio. Dio. Dio. Dio.
I repeat his name over and over. Why did it have to be him. The love of my life as a kid, my best friend... Why did he have to be my new bodyguard. I realize there was a reason why I felt like I'd known him forever. Why his eyes seemed familiar, his smile, his laugh. I thought he just reminded me of him but no. But now I realised... he was him. I sob into my knees. Why? Why? I thought he was dead! I sob harder and a few sniffles escape me.I'm crying real loud. I hit myself in the head. Oh gosh! Get a grip! I scream mentally. That usually works! but this time I can't even get myself to see things right. My tears blur my vision up. I see light as someone enters the room. Oh no. Just what I needed. Him... I sobbed louder and moved away from the side he sat on. I didn't look at him. I couldn't. Not now. He sat there for a while untill my breaths got even, like he'd done every single time, I had a nightmare or was just freaked out about my powers. I feel his hand start to stroke my back. I cringe and straighten up. I pull away from him and let out a ver loud, "Nooo!"
My eyes suddenly turning bright yellow. He pulls his hand back, shocked. I press my head in my hands. I just screwed up.
I start sobbing again. I thought I might get a chance with him but no. Now he must hates me. He must have figured it's me, now that my eyes turned to their fiery state.
"T-t-tia???" I hear his voice full of shock. I instinctively look up at him, smiling through my tears as he pronounced my nickname.
"D-Dio..." I sigh the name, my heart splitting in two.
He has tears springing in his eyes. Oh no. I knew he'd never forgive me. He hates me. I look down at the covers of my bed, gripping the fabric with my fingers.
I suddenly feel arm wrap around me. I pull back and tense up. I'm not used to hugs. No one has ever cared enough to give me one, except for my mom. Does he still like me? Or feel anything for me? I don't know.
I slowly wrap my arms around his shoulders and sob into his shirt as he strokes my hair. I feel a tear drop fall on my neck. He's crying... My baby is crying...
"I'm sorry Dio! Really. I'm so so sorry." I say and break our embrace as I grab fistfuls of the bed's covers and squash them hard with my fists. I try to fight back more sobs. "I understand if you hate me now."
He pulls my fists free from the bed and grabs them in his. Then he grabs my chin and pulls it up and he says, a grin spreading over his face. "You have nothing to be sorry for. You're amazing! 'Gift' and all. I've spent half of my life looking for you after you pulled me away from the burning house and they took me to the hospital. You have no idea how much I suffered! I searched for you every where! I couldn't find you. I guess this is the reason why... I should be apologising."
His smile becomes a sad one. I frown.
"No. No. Why should you me apologizing? I'm the one who almost killed you! I'm the one who injured so many people, I'm the one who hurt your family, I'm the one that left. I'm a Mons-" I say getting angry at myself but he puts a finger on my lips.
He takes a shacky breath and pulls his hand and gaze from my lips, making me blush. But I see his face contort with pain.
"I will not! By any circumstances! Let you call yourself a monster! You are not!" He kinda yells at me, pain completely visible through his voice. I let a tear roll down my cheek. He wipes it off and leaves his hand on my cheek, his thumb drawing circles on my cheek. I sigh and look at his penetrating green orbs.
"I don't deserve to have you.." My eyes widen realising what I said and meant. I clap a hand on my mouth, shocked. He just smiles at me and comes closer, making me forget everything. Uh... What's 1+1 again? His sent embraces me he smells like the ocean, like always. He removes my hand from my mouth and comes even closer, are noses tuching. I don't breathe. My entire skin is dancing with nerves. My stomach churns as I get the strange feeling of wanting to laugh.
He then whispers and I can feel his lips gracing with mine as he does, closing his eyes he says to me, "I love you tiara."
He then closes the gap between us and sparks fly everywhere inside of me. I resist the urge to gasp as butterflies have a wrestring match in my stomach. I move my arms up to his neck. He places his right on my hips. Our lips move in sync as if they were meant to be together from the start. Many things that I'm not consious about happened during the kiss.
Like how long we were kissing, or if it was safe to be kissing a guard in my room, or if there was anyone around. In that moment none of those things mattered, I had him, I HAD HIM.... Back.
It was clearer now than it was ever before. I'd never lost my feelings for him. Ever. I let go of everything and everyone, my so called 'dad', my sister, all the royal stuff they want to make me do. After a few seconds we pulled apart, but it felt so much longer than that. We stayed there, within kissing distance, with our noses touching for a while longer. I smiled and this time it was me the one to close the gap.
I can still feel his lips against mine as I lay back down on my bed, I just went for water and said goodnight to him. I pull my finger up to my lips and shakingly stroke it. Bloody hell... He kissed me. Dio kissed me. He loves me? I smile at the thought and drop my hand back down. Then I realize I never said it back. I get up putting my bunny flip flops on and going to his door. I open it and find him fast asleep. I smile, he looks so cute like this and has a huge grin on his lips. I sit down on the edge of the bed. His smile was so big I think it actaully might hurt to have it that way. My fingers dance in circles around his cheek, while the other strokes some of his hair from his eyes.He looks so peaceful, so calm. I lean down, pulling my hair to one side and press my lips to his again. Then I move them to his ear and whisper "I love you too Dio."
I walk back to my room and manage to see an even bigger grin spread accross his face. I love him. I pull my sheets across me and snuggle up to my stuffed seal. I truly do... My eyes close as I think of him, slowly drifting into unconsciousness.
