Chapter 28 : Switch

"You don't follow me." I shout at him.

Caivanial calls out to me multiple times but I can only ignore him.

Who does he think he? To claim me as his own possession?

I walk further away and tune out his voice from my head. I need to stay away from him for a while until things clear up. "So where do you want to go?" Damien asks me as he squeezes my hand.

The nerves shoot up to me and I realise that I shouldn't really be holding his hand. I slide my hand away from his slowly, but it's not subtle.

"Look. Let's just make this clear. Both of us are not going to happen, ok?" I ask him but he sighs. "Alexandra can we not do this. Fighting over a simple truth?"

"What simple truth?" I ask him with a low voice.

"About our love for each other. You know it's true so deep inside you. Just let me show you." he tells me and I step away from him.

"Maybe this is wrong." I say and think about calling Caivanial, but Damien grabs a hold of my hand before I can call out to Caivanial.

"Fine. What if I can prove it to you? That you love me."

"Bullshit." I tell him.

"But what if." "I will not fall for it Damien." "Ok. Then let me take you to Mundurum then?" he asks and my legs start to feel like noodles.

"No. You're not. I'm calling him..." I threaten him with Caivanial but he's not frightened.

"You're going." he says and brings me to a huge banyan tree.

He practically drags me to it and before I could say anything else apart from protesting, he throws me into the banyan tree and I'm getting pushed into a vacuum of darkness. I feel myself getting heavier and I cannot hear a soul or peep, not even my scream.

My breathing was at a high rate and my eyes pointed to every corner to find a bit of light. There was none and this was doom.

After the nightmare, I finally fall on to a soft mush ground and a little bit later, comes Damien. He doesn't land on his rump like I did, and is more professional about it than I was.

I stand up then without his help and start scolding and begging for him to let me back up, but he doesn't allow it. "Damien! This is not the time. Bring me back up!" I shout but he only smiles. "Live Alexandra. Carpe Diem, like what the mortals do."

"No! Now bring me back up!" I shout at him more.

He ends up walking away from me.

Nobody is around and I don't know if that was good or bad, so I start to follow behind him. "Guess someone decided to follow..." he says and I can only put on a grumpy face. "Little Alexandra is in a sour mood..." he says with a huge smile. "You have to bring me back either way..." I tell him and walk by his side.

"If I get hurt you're going to have to answer for it."

"Alexandra..." he tries to smooth it with me, but I get too irritated.

"Stop calling me that! Why do you constantly have to say it like that?!" I ask with furrowed eyes. "Because I like you're full name. It means guardian of humanity you know..." "Well, can you just stop calling me that." "Why?" he asks and I don't know how to answer him.

"I just don't like it..." I try to say but he turns around and steps closer towards me.

His face gets nearer mine and for a second I think he's going to kiss me.
