Chapter 14: Rival or Remake? {Danica}

            I was in bed thinking about school. So the new kid can change his eye color, huh? Well I can read minds, block my mind, enter dreams, and my eyes change too, just not the way his does. But they still change. There was something wrong though. Besides the fact that he could change his eye color as he pleases, he seemed just like Rion. The hair, the clothes, the muscles, the height, and even the voice was exactly like Rion. There was something in the air around him. I felt strangled every time he was near me. Something wasn’t right with this Gavin Hilt. Something special, like Rion and me. But different.

            It’s not what you think Dan. Came Rion in her head. He’s immortal like us, but we’re different from him. Like a different breed of immortal. I don’t have time to explain it right now. He knows us though. So you don’t have to pretend around him. You can talk to him if I block you out.

            But why can he change his eye color? And how does he know us? And when did you ever block me out? I replied.

            He was sent to serve as extra protection over you. And his eyes don’t just change color. They change material too. Have you ever seen him change it to sand? Or animal print? It changes material. The only thing he can’t change is his pupil. So if you ask him to change it to gold, it’ll turn into real gold. But there’s one material your powers can’t penetrate. You know how you can read someone’s mind by looking deep in their eyes? Well he can change his eyes into a material that blocks you from reading his thoughts. It’s called Archxiton. It’s a really weird but cool colored material.

            Oh, ok. What color is Archxiton? And can we go talk to him tomorrow? I want to ask him about P.  When can you tell me the truth?  I don’t mean it in a harsh way, but you know what I mean. I want to know my real life story. There was a long pause in the conversation. I heard him thinking about which pj’s he was going to wear. I think I laughed in my mind.

            What are you laugh- never mind. You have that convo with yourself all the time. Don’t act like you don’t. I’ll tell you when P can come into your dream. I won’t be at school tomorrow; I have a doctor’s appointment. So you can hang out with Gavin tomorrow. You know, question him, have mind conversations, pretend like he’s me, etcetera, etcetera. It won’t be so different anyway. I mean, he’s like my twin. Like a replica of me.

            You two are soooooo different, he had amazing eyes and you have the power to annoy anyone you want. I snickered and heard him mock me.

            Yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe it will be different tomorrow. I mean, there won’t be anyone to annoy you anymore. And annoying? Really, that must be your worst comeback ever. And I do to have amazing eyes. You’ve just never seen them. How was I going to respond to this?

            You are annoying. And your eyes don’t change like his. And I have too seen your eyes! They’re just regular brown. If you ask me, he has more pros than you do. And I can’t pretend like he’s you. I felt his heart lighten up a bit.

            Oh, I see. I’m the most annoying, plain, ordinary, and stupid person that exists in the whole world. And my eyes aren’t brown. I felt him laugh a little at his own sarcastic joke. But this is what you fell in love with, so what does that make you? And why can’t you pretend like he’s me? Was I really going to answer that? Of course I was.

            I can’t pretend like he’s you because I don’t love him. Besides, you’re really fortunate to have someone like ME fall for you. I mean, I could’ve fallen for a jock or even Gavin, but NOOOO, I chose you. So feel special Rion. I felt him smile and soften up. I heard the remnant of a silent and short celebration because if my last remarks. Not too special.
