The Mythicals

Chapter 28: France/Mika

This chapter will have switching of point of views. Also, pay attention to details!

Note: When I was switching point of views, I had only put "guides" for Mika. No, it doesn't imply anything lmao.

-----------------------------

He looked at me with shock. I gazed through his eyes, looking for a more decisive feeling for that revelation.

"But how? How can two people inhabit a body of single person, let alone, a child?"

I couldn't answer. Even I can't piece it together.

"Are you concluding that right away, Nicholas? We can't say for sure if what we found is true. It could just be-"

"It's the only lead we have, France!" He firmly grasped my shoulders, desperation present in his tone. "Can't I just be satisfied for once?!"

"T-That's not what I meant!" I retorted back, my voice rising. "I only want you to look through other possibilities and not be blinded by one seemingly plausible conclusion!"

He faltered back, the hold on my shoulders loosening.

"I'm going to sleep."

I sighed, letting Nicholas go on to his room. I watched him walk away, my conscience swallowing me. I don't know, it felt like I was right but, wrong as well? It's true, we can't just conclude easily...not that I'm stepping on his happiness.

"Uh, is everything okay?" I heard someone speak from behind; it was Mika Cray, who probably heard us out here. Of all people, why her? I'm not implying anything but, she was our topic, so what am I supposed to tell her if ever she asks what happened between us?

"Just a misunderstanding." I began to retreat back to my room, but stopped on my tracks when she continued talking.

"Oh...but shouldn't you resolve it now? I mean, that's what my parents did before..."

"It's not some kind of easy problem, Cray. It's not like you can just talk about it in one night."

"But if you just try!"

She's persistent, kind of reminds me of the two of them. They share the same qualities, but that leads me to another thought. Does this not support the aforementioned theory of her being Micha?

"Or, if you want, you can do it the next day but never let the day end without it being solved! Wouldn't want that to be added to the pile of problems you guys are trying to solve. Think about it, France!"

I never faced her throughout this whole conversation were having though, I can feel that energy beaming out of her. She's probably flashing her fighting look at me right now, with balled fists and all that.

"Whatever."

"You don't have to be cold you know. I mean, if we gotta live under one roof for now, even if you still don't trust me," sue paused, probably looking for the words o tell me, "you can just treat me better."

I looked over to the side, giving her a short glance.

"I told you, you can try! It doesn't have to be now..."

My lips quivered up into what seemed like a smirk, but a smile as well.

Mika's POV

I don't know if that was a positive sign of friendship. Stopping on her tracks to listen to what I had to say is something I didn't expect of her to do, given that she didn't trust me yet. But then, just before she disappeared into her own room, she smiled, or was that a smirk? I couldn't actually tell, I wish it was a smile, at least, I can breathe easy.
