Mystery past

Thoughts of a Slowly Turning Cynic

Mike's p.o.v.

I was glad everyone wasn't homophobic. In fact, it just made me like his friends even more. I mean they hadn't done anything...unlikable in my standards at least. When I first met them I honestly thought that they would be...horrible in just many ways, but no I found soon that wasn't the case. Most of Kyle's friends were like that- manipulative, dubious, and hypocritical. This group of friends wasn't like others I'd met. Which made them only more likable in my book.

But I wasn't comfortable, yet.

There was still some questions needing to be asked though...like why Lilly? They had brought her here because of Lizzie. I mean honestly though why would Lizzie choose Lilly?

Lilly is famous, really famous because of how unique her power is, her connection with Lizzie, and her overwhelming power. But, why? I mean there was the obvious effects it would have on Lilly- well anyone in general- obviously. Then again because of my classification as a phone; I should know that there must be a few missing pieces of the puzzle.

It didn't make sense and I needed answers. Lizzie was the villain-the antagonist. The cause of all the obvious mysteries, and the cause of the ones to be uncovered in the future. It was bad enough there were mysteries, but these weren't normal mysteries they were caused by a villain/antagonist.

Someone who had bad intentions, intentions that just don't keep everyone safe.

Regardless of whether or not the villain or antagonist believes in genocide or world dominance some people just don't cut it. People will either plainly fight for what's right or will just get in the way. There will always be one loss at the very least.

We were dealing with a villain/antagonist who had an advantage, and a few mysteries up her hands. And a villain/antagonist who has an advantage against the hero/es, or protagonist/s; is not one you want to deal with.

A knight wouldn't want to fight a merciless dragon who knows his weaknesses and has advantages in size, strength, and knowledge.

And if he did he'd be fighting a losing battle.

Which was our situation at this point, and if it came to fighting with these conditions that was a death sentence, a quick one too...at the very least. That was only and only if we were very, lucky. Which given our current situation the chances of that happening were 2%?

It was fighting a losing battle.

How refreshing Kyle comes and with him trouble.

Fortunately, that could be easily changed- we could have a bit more of a chance- with a few words- planned out carefully, and well thought out- there could be no misunderstandings that would end badly in this situation.

I'd have to talk to the group first of course and see what they thought. There could not and would not be any 'picking the fruit before it was ready' something like that could put us all in a worse situation.

For everything to work out I needed to speak these thoughts out loud- to them.

And that is exactly what I did.

Everyone looked at me, their mouths dropped, there eyes wide.

There was only silence.
I've failed or so I thought.

Lilly was the first to speak.

"S-s-o...you're saying I'm famous?"

"Yeah, you are."

"Ah, no wonder my house is so big. It makes sense now...well actually it kind of doesn't. Because I could be famous but that doesn't mean I'm rich. Plus Kyle's my housemate so...is it Kyle who's rich and bought the house? Or the other way around?"

"The other way around and you are rich."

"Why? Why am I rich? Why am I famous?"

"Pfft. Anyone in this room can answer that question! Anyone on this planet could answer that! Maybe even farther. Pfft. You're famous for your unique, dangerous, and yet beautiful power. Your power is so rare that only one other wizard has it. You're famous for your amazing personality and your heroic actions. You're famous for being one of the most powerful wizards to ever have lived since Jernt Corning! Not to mention smartest, and-and dangerous! You are dangerous!"

I laughed.

"What the hell Mike! I am NOT Dangerous!"

Lilly's breathing sounded frantic.
Her face looked panicked and her eyes were wide.

"You didn't say that Patra!" And with that, she took off.

I waited until I couldn't see or hear her to speak.

"Damn it! This is serious! This is almost war and she's here acting like a gnikcuf teenager. And I'm the father!"

Patricia and Kyle made eye contact then nodded.

They left.

"I can't deal with this Kyle! How is it when you come you always bring trouble with you?"

"You don't have to. I'm sorry."

And like that my heart barer left me.

What am I going to do with this? They better get her situated. I know it
must be hard not remembering anything. Especially not knowing your famous and everyone telling you about yourself. Things even you don't know about yourself that a stranger could tell you. That. Must. Be. Tough. I hope this ends well. Well, we're safe for now at least I can be sure of that much. May death have mercy on me.
