As I watch Tessa left with the broken look on her face. How I hoped so desperately that it was all a lie and she wouldn't walk away from me like that. But no. The truth is right in front of me. No matter how much I yearned to deny.
Tessa is my half sister.
I was wallowing in my misery when a thought suddenly occurred to me, 'Why is my father here in the ball when he said he couldn't attend?'
More and more questions began popping into my mind. Could it be that person wasn't my father? It could have been a trick of light. Perhaps he was an illusion?
I didn't realise that I had already stood up and walked towards the ballroom door. When I touched the cold hard metal handle of the door, I was drawn out of my thoughts and filled with determination. Determined to find out if Tessa's father is mine.
"I need to- " I whispered to myself. " No, I must find out who exactly is that man." I paused.
'Illusion, ghost or man. I will find out. I have to.'
With my strength drained out, I staggered my way back to the portal in the ballroom all the while making sure that my facial expression is composed and that the despair that I was feeling was hidden. Closing my eyes, I imagined myself in my safe haven, cool breeze blowing , soothing rustling of the wheat field and my dear old friend.
Holding on to the easy smile that I always have, I pushed opened the door.

I didn't know what would happen if I went through the portal door alone. I mean, I have only travelled through portal doors with Kaeith.
Kaeith
Just thinking about his name makes my heart clench and lurge at the same time. I shook my head left and right, hoping to clear my thoughts of him. "I can't think of him right now." I said to myself. I clutch the door handle, debating if I should risk travelling alone or not.
I was having doubts about travelling since I wouldn't know if I would end up in some strange place. But I had just wrenched myself away from Kaeith, I couldn't go back to him. And I need a place to pick myself up and fix my broken heart before I could face Kaeith and possibly my father.
Letting out a puff of breath, I clear my head once more and with my fingers crossed, I walked into the portal door and closed my eyes. Only thinking of my 'safe haven'. But what if, what if, I ended up in Kaeith's room? I didn't dare to open my eyes. Not until I hear the soft whistle of the wind against the grass, then I opened my eyes.
I let out a breath of relief as I have successfully ended up in the wheat field. Everything was as I remembered. Except that Kaeith wasn't not there. I started chewing the bottom of my lips as I realised that Kaeith had long since become the center of my world. And everything that I think of, all my memories are associated with, is him.
"I need to get out of it." I said loudly to myself.
УΞДH, УФЦ SHФЦLD
(Yeah, You should)
'Natsuo?! You are here too?' I sent.
ИФ. ΓHДΓ ЩДSИ'Γ MΞ.
(No. That wasn't me)
Natsuo's bored voice reverberated in my mind.
'Trying sarcasm now aren't we?' I joked.

(Miserable ain't we? Petty mortal relations.)
I bit back my tongue and asked instead. 'You do know that I'm not from this planet?
