Dark Wings: Where The World a Darker Place

Chapter 7: The Sun Rises as the Moon Dies

They say that the Sun represent your love ones or your soul mate, a person that always by your side when you cry or happy. They also say the Moon represent your best friend or comrade, a person that stick by your side forever and ever, who always encourages you and who always fill your life with a smile.

I came home after the party was over; I felt really exhausted and couldn't think clearly. I rested on my bed trying to think more clearly. It was already dark when I came home; the moon has already rise and shined through my window, it was so bright and beautiful. 'You mustn't forget your friends' that's what my mother usually says to me. 'Your friends are always bright like the moon'. 'But....who's your moon that is the most important'. I actually didn't know what it means back then; I used to think that my mother's words weren't important. But now I know what she was trying to say. If I think about moon then I'd think about my friends, and when I think about my friends I would think about people around me; Alicia, Allen, Charles and even Alice. 'You can only have one moon' I remembered my mother last words about the moon. It meant that I only can have one true friend despite I have a lot of friends and that also meant I must choose one in many friends I have. It was strange, why was I thinking about the moon suddenly after I thought about Alice? I knew what Alice did back then from Carvell, but strangely I have a calm reaction; I was more relax rather than angry. From the reality I think Alicia was the closest one, but why do I feel like Alice is closer to me, I think she knows everything about me.

I was still in school even after everyone had gone home, just like what I expected everyone doesn't care about me whether I'm dead or not, everyone hates me like they should be, maybe Malice is an exception..or she will hate me sooner or later. I was surprised by what Malice did back then but in the same time I was glad that she would still consider me as a friend, but I didn't think it was going to last long.

I was in class, sitting there and I was waiting for someone to get me, but who would want to see me when I was hated by everyone in the whole school more over Carvell seem wanted to kill me. 'SLAM' sound the door opened, I was stunned when I saw my brother standing there.

"What are you doing, Alice? Let's go home" he said with a gentle voice of a brother.

"Darien, why are you here? You shouldn't...."I stopped.

"We are brother and sister, it's normal for me to worry about you" he said.

"I don't want to go, no...I shouldn't go...."

He came closer to me then he was standing before me. He looked worry and he looked like he knew that I was having a hard time.

"I know what you've been through, I was trying to convince Carvell but he didn't listen to me....I'm sorry I can't make him forgive you at this moment..."he said.

"You've done enough; I was the one who's wrong after all...it's normal for him to be angry at me"

"I know there's a reason behind what you've done, especially if it's about Malice...I know you care about Malice than anyone here and I also believe you don't want make Carvell angry...so when we get home, you should tell me everything ok?"

I kept silence; I didn't try to make an eye contact with him.

"It's fine if you don't want to tell me...I believe in you, you are my sister after all, but make sure you can solve this problem on your own" he went out.

I rested my head on my desk, it was true what Darien told me; everything he has told me. I sacrificed everything and I will still sacrifice everything for everything that I've lost; my family and my happiness. But I hoped I didn't have a bond between me and my past, my brother kept saying that to me since I wanted to have a revenge for my parents. I took a quick sleep; and I suddenly remembered about my past, the past that I hated.
