The Alpha's Destiny (COMPLETED)

CH 26 - Familiar Darkness

Chapter 26 – Familiar darkness

Darkness greeted me, darkness so silent and black it seemed like death had finally caught up with me. My memories were hazy I couldn't remember much, I couldn't remember anything at all, to be honest, it was empty.

I had no memories, what was there to remember anyway? A brown haired male flashed before my eyes, his green ones holding mine for a fleeting moment, yet the male, beautiful beyond reason, meant nothing to me.

Who he was didn't matter, nothing mattered. I didn't know who I was, what my name was, I didn't even have care for if I was alive or not. Death didn't bother me, I had nothing to mourn anyway.

I sat, my hands braced on my knees as I sat cross-legged on the hard surface for hours upon end. Time didn't phase me, the silence was comforting, I had no worries, nothing to be afraid of.

It might have been weeks or even months before a light turned on, I was fed twice a day, a water broth, the taste knocking on distant parts of my mind but never broke through. I would feel immense déjà vu for split seconds before it was gone again.

The light blinded me, the pain familiar yet I wasn't used to the uncomfortable feeling. A man, dark-haired yet light eyes like me, and a female, fair skinned and beautiful. She smiled at me and the notion tugged a string in my mind but not hard enough to make me remember who she was.

I knew something was missing but the man spoke to me, his voice reassuring me. "Darling, we have searched for you for a very long time, welcome back home." His husky voice made me grin at them, they smiled back in return and the lady held out a hand to help me walk out of the blank room.

"Who are you?" I asked as I padded barefoot down the hallway, they walked on either side of me yet their hands were joined behind my back, they looked very much in love, I was envious of the feeling but I couldn't place why.

"We are your parents and I promise to explain it all once you have eaten a proper meal." The male spoke, no my father, it felt strange yet exciting to be able to say that. The feeling put another grin on my face and I stayed silent for the remainder of the walk.

The kitchen was full of people, bustling back and forth, some in uniforms and others in training gear. People of all ages were here, a community. The whole place was a large family, I could see it in the way they smiled at each other and laughed loudly when one would speak in a funny manner.

I felt put off, I was smiling yet it didn't reach my eyes. I felt hollow inside as if I was forcing myself to smile but I shook the feeling off, these were my parents why should I feel odd?

I was shown my room, it was grand, themed around neutral greys with beautiful accents of blush pink. I thanked my parents as they left me to shower and change. An overwhelming need to sleep overtook me halfway through the day.

As I lay down sleep found me easily but in the last moments before I succumb to the darkness yet again I saw the male flash before my eyes again. I let out a gasp as emotions of sadness, pain, anger, hatred and loneliness hit me at once. It was gone too fast for me to register it and it took another memory with it.

It wasn't until I fell asleep that I truly remembered something.

***

The sky was clear, it was every day, nothing ever changed no matter how hard I wished it. The grass was always green, the same birds always sang.

I would watch over my people in peace like I always had but it never stopped the curiosity to see what true change was like.

I a world where you only watched other people live, a world where you could dictate everyone else's lives but not your own it was always lonely.

I had created love, I had watched countless people find it between them. I would watch some lose it and watch others resent it but never was I able to feel it myself.

I was the most powerful being in all of history and yet I could do nothing but change the fate of other people.

I had never had parents or siblings, I had never even had friends but I wished for it every breath I took. I was the life source of all supernatural beings but I felt normal, I felt I was nothing but a small inconvenience in the path of life.

I created soulmates, I matched people together, I wasn't always right but I could also give true happiness to so many people. I could gift love and happiness to all but I was sick of it all.

It was recorded as impossible, nobody had ever tried it because I was the only one of my kind.

Without me, the fate of the world would go on. I had already predicted the next millions of years, my disappearance wouldn't make any change until my predictions ran out.

I had never thought I wouldn't be able to get back. I had jumped from place to place but couldn't go back. I had lost my memories. I had lived many lives, but never once had I found true love.

I had never predicted love for myself so there was no way I could. I forgot who I was, I forgot that sometime, maybe not soon, but one day it would all go away and without anybody to fix it there would be nothing left to fight for.

Love had caused wars between countries or between two friends but it also brought people together, it formed bonds and without it, happiness would never be truly found, sadness would not be felt in the sense of a broken heart and first love would never occur again.

The meeting of two people from different lives paired together by a feeling stronger than even my power.

I couldn't feel it, I couldn't remember it but I needed to restore it.

***

A memory, not one from this life, but one I felt stronger than anything. I was surrounded by love, a prediction I had not made. It had been millennia since I had left but I had been changing fate with every step I took without realizing it.

I had never meant to find love, never expected to find true love. I had never thought I would get to look into the eyes of my love and know they felt the same way as me.

I had only ever had dreams which faded with time but those dreams would change time as we knew it, bonds were still being made and broken but mine, mine was alive.

I could feel it at that moment but not seconds later it was gone. I was empty again and I had no memory of my recent realization.

Just familiar darkness...

***********************************

This makes no sense at the moment but it will. I had never initially planned this part but when writing this chapter my brain took me here and I'm in love with it. 

I needed a little more spice because I didn't want to do the whole "Oh no I'm trapped I need a man to save me" act.

Also any predictions?

Enjoy, vote, comment, that stuff, thanks,
