A New World Awaits

Chapter 2 : Lies

Sorry this story is so late I completed this chapter and totally didn't even think to press the publish button. I didnt notice my mistake until I made a new cover and looked at my chapters that I wrote. I'm sorry but I hope this makes up for it!

Heading to wherever he decided in his mind I hear him ask "Have you took your pills yet?" "Oh no, I didn't we should go back so I can." He turns around to face me so fast I don't have time to blink as he grabs my shoulders with his big hands, "You need to never take the pills or the injections you hear! Never do it again they are killing your mind!" He let's me go and shoves his hands into his hair and sighs heavily. "I..," my voice trails off as I stumble over myself trying to figure out what to say.

After minutes of silence I finally am able to form words into sentences, "What do you mean they are killing my mind?" I look deep into his eyes as he returns the gesture and I see something shift behind his eyes. What was that? I ask myself, probably nothing to worry myself over..

"I know because I've seen what its doing to you." "To me?!" I scoff, "I've never seen you before and here you are flaunting about that you've been watching me! Do you know how creepy that is?!" He puts his hand over my mouth preventing me to say anything further but I lick his hand and he reels it away from my face.

"Look," he says sternly looking deep into me, "I know you think you've just met me today but that's wrong. You might not believe it yet but if you stop taking the pills and injections you'll start remembering things and seeing things you've never seen before."

"How could you say that?! Here you are telling me to just..disregard everything I've ever learned just because you, some strange boy, tells me to!" I can't stop myself I'm boiling with anger and my chest rises and falls faster as my breathing increases. He just looks at me with a calm expression, "You need to calm down you're being too loud." "Damn it I'll be loud if I want to!" I quickly raised my hand to my mouth. Oh no did I really say that. He looks at me taken back a little but it vanishes as soon as it was there.

He pulled me along with a dreadful silence hanging between us. With the given silence I start to begin to have my mind run off into a different world as it questions everything I was forced to believe. Lies, that's all this world has now. As my mind keeps wondering I accidentally bump into his body. Ouch.. He grabs my arm and pulls me to a slow moving river.

I stare completely starstruck. How...this is so beautiful. "I always come out here to relax..its just so beautiful. How the moon just hangs in the sky bright, and smiling down at us. Watching over us as the stars do too. Everything in the sky watches over us. They know we need protecting. The man in the moon..the guardian of the night." His voice is like water cascading beautifully down a cliff, leaving everything mesmerized in its wake.

But my mind getting the best of me, "Who's the man in the moon?"

He looks over at me as something dances behind his eyes then he looks away. "My dad used to tell me the story about the man in the moon, the guardian. He looks over everyone protecting all of us from the monsters that hide in our world. My dad used to like talking to me about it all the time."

"Your ..dad?" He looks over at me with the corner of his eyes, a small smile playing on is lips. "Who knew your accent would have this effect on me," he says barely a husky whisper as he leans his body a little closer to mine.

What is he talking about accent what accent. I mean I did notice I talk a little different but so does everyone. I keep talking to myself and I didn't notice how close he was to me now.

Ahh! Shit! Shit! Shit! He leans in close to my face our noses almost touching, heat quickly goes up my neck and across my face as I lean a bit back. "What don't like me so close?" He asks smirking. Oh I'm gonna wipe that smirk off your face.

One thing led to another and I find myself on top of him as he looks up at me with the smug face of his. "God I hate you," I say as I quickly get off of him. "Oh don't say that you're hurting me." "Well you deserve it." His places his hand on his chest fake gasping, like he's pretending to be offended. "How dare you." "I dare very easily." I say as I put a smug look on my face.

After a while of talking and laughing by the stream we walk back. We walk as we talk in hushed tones. "Hey! Hey you two stop where you are." A voice erupts from somewhere as I turn my head in the direction to see a security man walking to us.

I don't like cliffhangers as much as the next person but that's all I can think of for this chapter. I'm sorry.
I hope you have a good rest of your day!
See you next time! 💙
