Juncture Of Regrets

Chapter Five: Skylar and Alex

Why would Layla even want to start a war. I need to find the real reason why? Why is she doing this. I know we have to kill each other but why is she going so far to start a nuclear war. Layla, the other new girl in my life.

Skylar. Skylar. Skyla.... r. I was sitting in class in school when I thought this. Skylar. Sky la. Layla. Lay la. The wind travel through the sky. I made the connection.

Skylar , the sky in Skylar is a hint for me while la is for Layla. She is playing a game. She wanted to me to find out who she is. She started dating Thomas to turn my friends against me. That wouldn't be the first time someone tried that (Christian technically tried in the original timeline).

Still the thought that there are others like me and Skylar roaming around and changing the past. Why am I different from the rest? The same goes for Skylar. Why are we the ones that have to fight off. So many unanswered question. The story of the Alex the Hero of the Wind of Time Vs Layla aka Skylar the bringer of death. This was getting faster and faster.

I decided in lunch time to face Skylar.

At lunch, I waited in my form room. Thomas came in with Skylar. She had a mischievous smile. This confirmed my theory.

"Thomas stand away from here!"

Thomas shouted , " No , she is my girlfriend. She told me about you and how you asked out Skylar."

He was pissed. He was the angry to the next level.

I need to speak with her in private. Thomas didn't seem to want to. This was a problem. Every time I walked forward towards Skylar, Thomas moved forward to me. He was like a bear protecting his cubs if the cub is an evil mastermind who was on the verge of blowing up the world then yeah.

"Skylar! This is enough! We need to talk!" I exclaimed.

She smiled again. She didn't speak to whole time. This was more suspicious. I needed to get past Thomas but I didn't want to fight him.

"Listen Thomas , I don't want to hurt you."

"Come at me. Fight me!" Sadly him saying this made me cringe.

I raised my hand. I focused on the wind. I felt the wind. Wind blew through the windows knocking Thomas on the ground. He was out cold. "Sorry Thomas. I had no other choice."

Skylar finally spoke after all this time, "So you finally discovered your powers", she giggled, "and you discovered me. How did you find me? My name or was it something else. I leave some hints to help you or did you get help from the Lord of the Void", she paused, "That must be it. He helped you, he probably helped you master you power and he helped you to find me. He must like you better than me." She smiled mischievously but there was a hint of sadness. She was sad that the 'Lord of the Void' helped me more.

"He never helped me. He only showed up once. He told me everything about my ability without showing how to use it and told me that there is someone else like me and we have to kill each other or we would be erased", said Skylar depressingly.

I managed a chuckle. "he he. so, you are sad that he likes me more. Understandable since this is about life or death and the King of this game helped me more", I paused to recollect my thoughts, "Let's go before everyone else comes back and by the way dating Thomas was very unnecessary. You were just hurting him since soon as one of us dies, he will be heartbroken and depressed."

She smiled at me again. The dang smile. It was the reincarnation of evil, "That was the point" Skylar spoke with that smile. I texted Alisha that I found her and I am going to speak to her on the way to the back of our school. This was the time to answer all my questions.

"I wanted Thomas to feel depressed like the original timeline. I was told by the Lord of The Void. I thought making the things you were trying to fix worse would help but I didn't have enough time", Skylar gushed.

"You son of a bitch!", I declared.

"What? I didn't fully do everything. Like I was going to tell Elise that you loved her and make her ask you out again and to make Christian tell everyone once again that you are a psychopath and make your so-called friends scared", she babbled.

"but as you could see. I didn't have enough time."

I snapped, "why? Why?"

"think about it. I wanted to make your life hell like you did to me. Or what you are going to do in the future. I am Elise daughter. My name is Layla Kelly."

"Elise Kelly...." I mumbled.

"You in the future, use your power of the Wind of Time to save people like a hero while my mother, who accidently saw you using your powers since you kept it a secret from the whole world, just sat there crying and alone being a single mother as she felt bad about happen to you and blamed herself and worried that you took the whole world under your burden. There is five of you guys protecting this crappy world. My mother tried to help. She spoke out you. You just witness Alisha's death, my mother just tried to help and... and..", her face was a bundle of rage and sadness, "and you just. you murdered her using your wind. The girl you hated for breaking your heart died in your hands. And now here, the daughter came to destroy the things you love. This world and the people you care for."

I stuttered, "I... I... I... I don't know what to say."

"The Lord of the Void, gave me the chance to save my mother but that isn't enough. I needed to ruin you so why not destroy the whole world."

I yelled, "This won't bring you mother back but it will just kill her. You are starting a nuclear war."

She replied, " yeah but this is better as she won't need to feel the sadness and the isolation of her first husband leaving her because she was so hooked on you."

I spat, "So, this it. You would go to these lengths to kill me, " I looked into the sky. It was cloudy. I started to laughed, "If I didn't know that Alisha was going to die. I would of gave up my life so you would of stop this craziness but I need to save her."

"So, the game is on. You Vs me. Alex vs me. Alex the Lord of the Wind of Time Vs Me, Layla the Lord of the Dark Wind of Time. The murderer and his victim. The Hero vs The Villain. Let the show down begins." A surge of black wind rushed all around her like it was worshipping her. The Goddess of the Dark wind. That name made me laugh. She created a portal from the void and pulled out a sword.

She exclaimed, "This is Excalibur. The sword from King Arthur himself. We can travel anywhere in time or bring things from the past into the time we are in. It's one of our abilities" she smiled that smile was the same as before but now I know its meaning. It's a smile of sadness and revenge.

"I will go and set the stage for our final battle get ready and say your goodbyes."

She ran through a void portal. Now I will need to find her again. I sighed.

Now if I think about it, she looked a bit like Christian. It couldn't be. Only that man would have left her wife like that with her daughter. So, they end up together in the future that I create in this timeline with my powers.

I didn't realise while we were talking but I think someone was watching us, the wind told me but I was too busy focusing on Skylar...I mean Layla. I leave it for now. The person would have just been confused.

I ran towards my next lesson. I bumped into Christian. "Hey Alex, you been dead? I haven't seen you properly in a while", I laughed and forced a massive fake smile.

I replied, "Well, I have been busy with life and Skylar and a new girl. She pretty and kind. Anyways we have history, right?"

He punched my arm, "Remember, you need to be with Elise not this new girl. You said you had a crush on her and it's obvious that she has the same feelings so, stick with her." I awkwardly laughed as he said this. If he Christian was Skylar's father then, this means he is the monster that leaves Elise in imperil to my hands. As her husband, he should have protected her against a demon like me. I am demon. A monster. I shouldn't be alive. I shouldn't have this power. I keep causing harm and mistakes.

Christian grabbed my arm and we headed towards our history classroom. I was waste but he is just cruel.
