Kalila's Pov continued.
"What are you doing here? Are looking for the chosen because it isn't me." He crossed his arms. "I know its not, and I've already found him." I stared at him in disbelief. No way not now. "Who is it?" The man other wise known as Cyd sat on my bed as if it was his own and said. "You should know Kalila, he goes to your school." I turned my head thinking about anyone in my school who could possibly be the chosen. Carlos is too scatter brained. The only person I could think of is- "You can't be serious Cyd." Cyd didn't reply. "Cyd, I don't mean to judge ones appearance, but I don't think he's even awakened his Ahksahn yet. Surely it would have awakened then he would know wouldn't he?" "Not necessarily." "Why didn't you tell me Cyd?" I paced back and fourth. "I mean the only possible signs are dreams and seeing the Betsalel, has he saw one yet?" Cyd shook his head. "No, not yet, but he will, and when he does, it will happen-he will awaken the powers of the ultimate seal." "What if he-" I paused and fidgeted around my clothes angrily. "I can't do this, there's no way I can. What if I fail to protect him?" I looked at Cyd with watery eyes. "I do not believe that you will fail. You are strong and intelligent. You know how to fight the Betsalel, and you know what they are and how they fight as well, I believe that you both will succeed. Don't ever doubt Kaila." No matter how unintelligent and ridiculous Cyd looked, he meant well, and he was very smart about stuff like this. Sometimes I wondered if he could see into the future or something. I couldn't say that Cyd was a liar, because he wasn't. He knew everything about the Betslalel, and he knew there was one person in the world to stop them. Ever since I discovered my abilities and when I awakened, he knew what my future would be. I guess you would say he's like a sensei, or something like that. He later left to search for the chosen. It was only a couple of years and now he's found him. "What should I do, should I tell him? You know the Betsalel is going to be after him now." Cyd didn't reply only he studied my room carefully as if he sensed something.
"He'll think I'm crazy Cyd." "Hmmm I don't think he will." he answered. Just then I heard my parents call me. I turned around to ask for some kind of advice how to tell Malachi, but Cyd had gone away. I wanted to sit down and think about this, but my parents annoyingly called for my name. Being frustrated and stressed wasn't a thing I liked, but I composed myself so I wouldn't act all mean and snobby to them.
At the table it was strangely quiet. My parents tried to get me to say something by doing small talk but I answered shortly. They figured something was wrong, and they tried to get me to say what was on my mind, but I couldn't tell my parents. I couldn't tell them that I was the chosen's guardian. How could they believe such a thing? I put on a false smile and told them I really was fine that I was just lost in thought and all, later when I had done the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, I returned to my room and fell on the bed.
I thought about what it was like when I awakened. I truly was scared and believe me it wasn't the most dandiest of things. I was only 13 when it happened, and Cyd knew in his mysterious like manner, that made me question who he was. He was mysterious all right. Showing up when you least expect it or when there was bad news. Well that's what I thought since he always told me when a Betsalel was coming or where they were. He taught me many things, and I figured out how to sense a Betsalel. Its crazy it all is. I didn't even know they existed, but they did. They were shadows, shadows that preyed on darkness of the people. In the best way to explain it so I won't sound so cheesy is that they are created by desires. Everyone has desires right? So how do I-we get rid of them-ok that's where the chosen comes in. He is like some kind of light that drives them away-ok it is cheesy and cliche, I don't blame you for thinking wow so lame, but true. I explained the best way I could. He is the only one able to stop them completely. I think there is a main Betsalel that is letting the little underlings run about-I don't know, but what I do know is that they are not easy to defeat. I have been in contact with one, and the only way to defeat them is through the seal of course. I have defeated some, but I feel as if though there is more to my Ahksahn Gafna. She is of the vines and that's what I attack with but there should be more behind just that.
Pulling back to the present, I think and think of what ways to tell him. I think maybe I should spend more time then break it to him. That way he has my trust and he would have to believe me. I'm scared that no place is safe for him. He doesn't know. If I remember correctly, he said he had some strange dream. I wonder if he saw them there. I blinked a couple of times. And the time when he said someone was watching him.....I wonder....I sat up. The Betsalel probably came in. Worry came over me. I didn't have enough time to wait for him to warm up to me, I had to break it to him soon, or he was going to be in great danger. I was scared to though, because he already felt out of place in school and all that-adding more to him on his life with something as huge as this, I didn't know how he was going to take it. I had to shake that off-his life is more important now he will have to deal with it-as blunt as I put it.
With set determination, I decided to tell him this weekend.
