Butterfly Effect

Chapter 6

Days passed and we were getting closer and closer to each other, but she still didn't tell me the reason why she knows and believes in humans that can turn into butterflies. Each day, I grow more attached to her, and that feeling that I knew her for a long time is getting stronger and stronger. And the weirdest thing is that, I've been dreaming strange things, like a guy inside a jail, a guys and a girl in the land of flowers, but weirdest thing is that the guy looks like me, and the girl? Her face is blurry every dream.

One day, when I was sitting in the butterfly garden, she just appeared out of nowhere, surprising me. "Hi Leandro!" she exclaimed happily while back hugging me. I can't help but smile at her cute gestures. "Hello to you too, Theo," I greeted her while smiling. She sat down next too me and looked at me in the eye, I can't help but to feel butterflies flying in my stomach. "Leandro," I got startled when she voiced out my name. Her sweet voice calling out to me. "Leandro," she said again now shaking me, waking me up from my trance. "Yeah?" "I'm going to tell you about it today!" she excitedly stated still staring at me. I only gave her a confused look. "About me believing in humans who can turn into butterflies," she explained. Ahh! I remember it now. She promised me that she will explain it to me when the time comes. "So, why do you believe in them?" "Well," she took a deep breath before looking at me in the eyes and saying, "because, I am one of them," she finished then I gave her a bewildered look. "Wait, what?" I asked not believing what I heard. She breathed in and out again before saying, "I am one of them, I am one of the humans that can turn into butterflies," "Really?" she just nodded and stood up. "I'm going to show you," she said then twirled three times, then the next I knew, she was gone and a butterfly landed on my pinky finger. While staring at the butterfly, I quickly remembered the butterfly which landed on my pinky when I was eight years of age. The butterfly which is Theo then flew quite a distance from me then turned back into her normal form. "I'm sorry for hiding the truth from you Leandro," she said as she stood in front of me. I didn't say anything nor look at her. I don't know why but I somehow feel betrayed. "Uhh... Excuse me, I think I need to go now, "Alicio!" I was stopped in my tracks when I heard a very familiar name being called by her...
