A Leaf In The Stream Of Creation (His Angel Boy)

Chapter 35: Parents Wail.

~Leto~

It's been about a week since everyone saw us together at college, that evening it rained all night and hasn't quit even now and I don't know if it will or why it gives me the feeling that something or someone may be causing it.

It's the weekend and I have nothing better to do than stay and rest in bed as I listen to the rain heavily hitting the roof, I close my eyes as I completely clear my mind of all the bad energies that have been bothering me throughout the past week.

When I finally arrived home that day after Freddie drove us to college, my parents haven't been home and it is starting to worry me that they might never come home.

All this thinking about everything is slowly starting to stress me out and I don't know what I am supposed to do about it all.

My dreams have been full of images and replayed scenes of what happened to me when those guys kidnapped me, about what I did and how much I still hurt.

Opening my eyes I move my hand up above me in the air and I carefully examine the badly burnt rune on my palm, they burnt it so bad that my natural colour of a scar has lined out the shape of my rune in gold.

I can't help but circle it around and around as usual images and snippets of Freddie come running into my mind, I can't help but smile as I remember waking up to him twice in his bed.

What the fuck am I doing?

I can't let myself feel an ounce of happiness because of the way he is, I know I must not get attached no matter how hard it is.

I then hear a shout from downstairs.

"Leto, are you up honey? Your Father and I are in need to have a real serious conversation with you."

I sit up and groan inwardly.

"Yes, I am awake and will be down in a moment."

"Son, do not take too long as my time is precious."

My time is precious- what kind of fuckery is this? My Dad has always acted like he's one of the Queen's guard or something, or some kind of man who expects everything to be a certain way and I can't deal with it.

Groaning even more, I force myself to sit up and sling my legs over the edge of my bed as I feel the pain inside my chest pounding away and I can't help but let out a sob.

This pain has been living inside my chest ever since I woke up in Freddie's bed, I don't know what else those men- if men were what they were, did to me when I was unconscious and that's what sickens me the most.

Washed and dressed into fresh clean clothes, I take one last look in the mirror in my room and swear at myself as my face is almost covered in tiny little gold scars.

No going back now.

I take my time to walk down the stairs, I then slowly enter the living room, standing awkwardly by the door.

"Well, hello parents."

They both look up at me at the same time as they hear me speak, both with forced smiles.

Mum then takes a longer look at my face and her smile falters.

"Oh sweetheart, what happened to your beautiful self?"

I sigh as I look away.

"Mummm, it's nothing."

Dad then speaks up by clearing his throat deliberately.

"Leto, come sit down as we have something important to tell you."

I enter the room fully and sit myself down on the sofa opposite them.

"What is it?"

"You have been 18 for some time now and because of you not being able to celebrate it, we decided to have a little family meal outing to make you feel good about yourself."

I look down at my rune, gently running my thumb over it as I watch it light up its usual shade of purple, I then look up at him again.

"Thank you Dad, I really do appreciate it but I'm going to have to say thank you but no thank you, I really do not want any fuss."

He furrows his brow at me.

"Leto."

"Dad?"

He frowns even more.

"I think it is about time you knew everything."

Mum then makes an objective noise beside him.

"Oh no, we can't tell him everything..."

I roll my eyes.

"Guys, I know I'm not a mundane."

They both look at me agape.

"Where in the heavens did you get that word from? You are not meant to know anything yet seeing as we haven't told you a word."

I roll my eyes for the nth time.

"Seriously, did you two think I was stupid? That I won't just figure it out for myself? I know I'm not normal, I've known from the second I could form thoughts, but you two are just too cowardly to not tell me anything."

Looking down at my joined hands resting in my lap, I cannot let myself even peak a look at what their faces must look like right now, I know I may have gone too far but I felt like it needed to be said.

Deciding that the best option is to just give in and sit up straight and face this head on, as I look up to see both of their faces are still in shock from my outburst and I can't help but roll my eyes.

"How-how much do you know about the shadow world, Leto?"

I frown at him.

"Shadow what?"

Be sighs as he sits forward in his seat.

"The shadow world, how much do you know about it?"

"I've never heard of it, Dad."

He rubs his temples in frustration.

"Then where did you get the word 'mundane' from?"

I one shoulder shrug.

"Not important."

He looks at me like I've just killed his dog.

"Leto Abrams! You tell me right now, I am in no mood for any bullshit."

For a split second I close my eyes and then I open them again.

"Dr. Todd told me at the hospital that I'm not a mundane and explained exactly what that is, plus I killed a nurse who was supposed to be looking after me and the doctor came to make sure that I am ok, that's when he turned up in his true form and that's when he told me about not being a mundane."

He slaps his hands together.

"Has anything else happened?"

Everything I know then comes across my mind, I ignore it as I try not to let it show on my face.

"A lot."

"Are you going to tell us?"

I then look at the both of them very seriously.

"To be honest with you, both of you leave me all the time and are not here when I need you, so no I won't be telling you Jack shit."
