My Vampire Twin

Chapter 29 - The Great Apology

Celina's POV

After all the talk I excused myself and started making my way towards my room.
But...

"Where is it again?" I asked myself while I looked from left to right of the corridor. I was literally shaking. Cyrus offered that he'll walk me to my room but since that I wanted to have some time alone, I said that I know how to get there by myself.

I sighed and started walking again.

Ash dragged me all the way to the room where I met everyone so I didn't actually get to see where we were going.

I stopped at my tracks when I saw a glass door on the left. I gasped at the sight that was on the other side of it.

"...A garden?" I whispered and made my way towards the door.

I turned both the handle and pushed both the door open, inhaling the clear air that the air blown towards me.

The garden had all sorts of flowers. It kind of formed as a maze and in the middle was a fountain that was surrounded by a couple of wooden bench. On the left was a table with a couple of chairs. I almost smiled at the scenery but I felt a pain in my chest when I remembered about my resting place. It was a simple meadow with a big tree but it was my favorite spot there. I remembered how Shawn and I rested there after my practices.

I smiled slightly and sighed.

I closed my eyes and held both of my hands together over my chest.

"I wish that they aren't too worried about me." I whispered.

Soon I heard a laugh of a girl. It wasn't an insulting laugh, but an amazed laugh. I looked up only to see a girl that somehow looked like an angel. She had black hair with streaks of red on the end just like Ash's hair, she had red eyes that matched the color red on her hair and what intrigued me the most is her wings, her wings are... black. She slowly landed and folded her wings behind her back.
"You're still worried about them even though they kept you hidden with full of lies?" She said with a confused tone.

I smiled and shook my head. "Technically there is only one person who kept telling me lies. The others were just kept quiet or didn't know anything like me." I said which made her smile indicating that she didn't want to argue anymore.
"You look a lot like him." She said while she made her way towards a bench. As soon as she sat down, she patted the space next to her telling me that I should sit beside her.

"A lot like who?" I asked while I walked towards her.

She giggled. "You're brother of course. Though unlike you, he is really unsociable." She said with a sigh. "He's always serious about things, I couldn't even joke around him, and sometimes he always says mean things but who am I to complain? I'm a nobody." She said with a faint smile which made me held her hand.
"No you're not." I said with a smile. "You're here with me, and doesn't that mean that you have to be somebody in order to be with someone? So therefore when you are with someone, you're presence is also there which means that you're there and that you are somebody because if you're a nobody then you wouldn't be there." I said which made her eyes widen and look straight into mine.

Soon enough she was laughing hard. "See? I told you that you were totally different." She said which made me laugh with her. Despite her appearance, I really like her a lot. She's nicer than she seems.

We were telling stories to each other for a while when I heard something shrugging at a bush.

I walked towards it and separated it from the middle with both of my hands.
The worry in my eyes turned into a glare.

"What are you doing there Mr. Sis-Com?" I asked which made my Brother awkwardly laugh.

He rubbed the back of his neck and stood up. "Rubbing the back of your neck like a genie's lamp wouldn't make an excuse magically appear." I said which made him laugh again. "So?" I said which made him clear his throat.

"Just checking on how you were doing... so how are you?" he said.

"Gee, thanks for asking in a non-creepy way." I shot an eyebrow up.
"Sorry." He said which made me think of an idea.

I pulled on his arm and dragged him out of his bush.

"Whoa. Slow down, what are you doing?" He said while I forcibly tried dragging him towards the girl who I was talking to but it didn't even give me much progress.

I eventually gave up and tried catching my breath. But then an idea came to me.
"Do want me to ignore you for the rest of my life or what?" I asked which made him froze. I didn't need an answer, his sudden change made it clear about what he wanted. "Then come with me." I said which I finally had him come with me.
When we reached her, she froze.

Cyrus cleared his throat. "Thana." He said.

So she's Thana huh?

Thana nodded as a response but it became awkward.

I sighed. "We've been talking and Thana said that you've been treating her badly." I said which made his eyes avert mine. "Apologize." I said which made him ignore me.

I glared at him but it didn't seem to work this time so I got another idea.
I smiled and held Thana's arms.

"Hey Thana? Can you be my big sister instead? I don't want a brother anymore." I said with a pout which made her speechless and Cyrus gasp with all his might.
"Okay! Okay!" He exclaimed. He sighed and walked over to Thana. He closed his eyes for a second and kneeled on one of his knees and opened his eyes. He held Thana's hand and took in a deep breath. This sort of looks like a marriage proposal than an apology to me, but nonetheless, this should be enough.

"Thana..." he said gently. "I seek humbly for you most--" I stepped on his feet which made him hiss.

"Just apologize like a normal person!" I exclaimed which made him sigh.

"I'm sorry for all the things that I said." He said which made Thana slightly gasp. "I know I wasn't the kindest person but I see that now. I've been pressure by all the priorities and the responsibilities that I didn't have the time to slack or joke around." He said which pretty much contented me.  "But to be honest, even if my sister didn't force me to do this, I would have apologized either way." Wait, wait? "The night when we brought Celina back, I made you cry didn't I?" He said which made her eyes widen. "That was the time that I realized that I've been too harsh on you for the past few years. I only realized that when I realized that all the pressure was over and made me realize that I was wrong." He sighed. "So, since that my sister is watching rather than letting me apologize with just the two of us, please, forgive me Thana." He said which made a tear roll down her cheek. She was still speechless.

I cleared my throat which made her snap back into reality. "Uhm... I-I..." she tried to speak but she couldn't so she smiled gently and held Cyrus's hand that was holding her other hand. "It's alright, stand up, you might hurt your knees." She said which made Cyrus stand up quietly.

I clicked my tongue. "If you ask me he could have prostrated himself." I said which made his eye widen and her smile warmly.

"Apologizing is enough for me." She said with a smile which made me realize something.

She really is kind.

I didn't have to say that to Cyrus because when I looked at him, his face was burning red.

When he realized it, he quickly looked down and hid his face.

"W-Well, if that's d-d-d-done I'll b-be going n-now." He said which made me shot an eyebrow up.

"Stuttering isn't helping you hide your embarrassment you know." I teased which made his cough and turn around.

He began to walk away and with a few minutes that passed, he was gone.
I turned my face to Thana and saw her face cupped in her hands.
"H-H-H-H-He apo-po-po-pologized!" She exclaimed that was followed by a squeal which made me cross my eyebrows.

"You did hear what I told him, didn't you?"

**

Is this chapter boring? I wanted to let Thana and Cyrus have a little moment since that I didn't want all the chapters to be just about the twins. I tried my best with a couple of lines that Celina said and I was a little bit satisfied with it.

Let me know what you think about this chapter.
