Dark or Light

Chapter 9 - It's difficult

"You're right," I said and felt my eyes get teary eye a bit, but I had to hold it back. I can't let him win this. I took a deep breath and put on a fake smile. "I'm just as idiotic as other girls to believe in such myths. Sorry for disturbing your life, Knight. Have a nice day," my lips shake and I place the back of my hand to my mouth then turn walking away.

"L-Legna! You know that's not what I meant!" He shout at me and I heard him stand up, and run after me. I wipe my eyes and threw away my trash. He place his hand on my shoulder and I close my eyes so I couldn't look at him.

"You made yourself clear," my voice became crack and shaky then a tear slip from eyes. It roll down my cheek and Knight lift my chin up gently, then I open my eyes to look at him.

"Don't cry," he mumble wipe my tear away. I slowly start to feel my heart beat fast but then I snap out of it, pushing him away from me carefully.

"Just leave me alone," I said clearly and wipe both of my eyes, "I know what I heard. I don't mean a damn thing to you," I laugh while sniffling looking at him. "I don't know why I thought I was so special thinking that I can change you to be a better person, but I see that I was wrong."

A pool of tears cloud my vision and my eyes sting; then I felt someone's hand touch my shoulder. Knight stood in front of me and he look mad.

I look over my shoulder to see who it was and it's Mark staring down Knight with a mean look. He gently pull me back then took a step forward towards Knight. They stood face to face glaring at each other and they both stood tall.

"Why have you made her cry?" Mark ask in a deep rasp tone and Knight took a step closer to Mark looking directly into his eyes.

"This isn't your business nor fight, prince boy," Knight spat and poke Mark's chest hard but he didn't move an inch. "Stay out of it," he threaten.

"I'm protecting her from people like you that hurt her," Mark said and push his chest, and Knight took a step back. Knight laugh and rose an eyebrow looking at him.

"Like me?" He said. "Where were you when your bratty girlfriend attack Legna? Huh? Where were you when Legna was getting harassed by that jackass?" Knight push Mark with both hands and he flew back slightly. My eyes widen and I took a step forward to stop it, but Mark put his hand in front of me.

"This isn't your fight, Legna. Let me handle this," Mark said to me and he look at me with confidence which made me smile. Knight look at me then back at Mark and step down from the fight.

"You'd prefer to have him by your side instead of me, right?" Knight ask and my attention went over to his eyes. He seem sad and I didn't answer. He nod and wipe his mouth looking away. "I see. I hope one day you'll realize that I was the one. If it wasn't for me, that pedophile would've still been here."

He turn around and walk away from us. I can feel his vibes of anger and he punch a locker so hard, he broke the door. It crush inside the locker.

My mind was telling me to let him got but my heart was telling me to chase after him. I took a step forward but Mark held me back.

"Leave him," he said, "he just needs to calm down. He'll be back." Knight walk out of sight and I felt like a part of me left me, but it feels like Mark is filling in that part.

Mark turn his body to face me and I look behind him to see if Knight might have been there, but he's completely gone.

"Do you know where he's going?" I ask him and Mark shook his head and sigh. I frown and look up at Mark as he stare down at me.

"Did Minhee really attack you?.." He ask and I nod as I took out my phone then let Mark watch it.

As he was watching it, he sigh and rub his mouth shaking his head listening what she was saying to me and seeing what she did. Once the video ended, he gave back my phone and look at me. "I'm truly sorry about what she did to you," Mark apologize, "I'll talk to her about it."

I nod and sigh as the bell rang for the next period. I had to go to P.E. and Happy and I are in the same class together.

"See you later, Mark!"

I walk away from Mark and wave back at him as he smile waving back at me.

2 months later...

I sat in my room alone studying and text Mark all day. It's 22:00 (10 o'clock) and it's a school night. I told Mark that I was going to sleep. He sent me and goodnight message saying "Sweet dreams, dork. I'll see you tomorrow :)"

I smile to myself and lock my phone then let it charge. My dad walk in and so did my mom. Then smile and walk over to my bed, kissing my forehead. "Goodnight, Legna," they said.

"Goodnight mom, goodnight dad," I reply and they smile walking out of the room. The shut the door and turn off the lights, then turn over in bed and close my eyes.

Legna's dad P.O.V.

"This isn't right," I whisper and stare at my beautiful wife. She chuckle and walk to our bedroom, and I follow behind her.

"What do you mean?" She reply and I sigh then poke her waist and she chuckle.

"You know what I mean," I said and she grin looking at me then walk into our bedroom. "I know that you sense Mark's scent on her," I sat down on the bed and my wife sat behind me massaging my shoulders.

"I know, dear," she tried to calm me and it was working, "but she also has found Knight." My eyes widen and I groan.

Why now? Why this generation?

"It's so hard being Satan and a father of a mortal," I bury my head in my hands and grunt, "I love Legna so much but I'm not ready to lose her again. It took me centuries find her soul and bring back my little princess. I just want to her be with Knight."

My wife wrap her arms around my shoulders and hug me. She bury her face into the crook of my neck and kiss it gently.

"So why are you stressing about it?" She ask and I slowly pull away from her and look at her. I stare her serious.

"Because I don't know who found Mark's soul and brought him back," my wife's eyes widen and unwrap her arms from me.

"You mean you didn't bring Mark back?" She raise and eyebrow and I shook my head. She run her fingers in her hair and stare the ground.

"How is it possible?" I ask and we sat in silence. We didn't say anything for a good minute and she mumble.

"Maybe he brought himself back to get Legna back," I look at her like she was crazy.

"Impossible. He would need God or me to bring him back!" I nearly shouted but she cover my mouth to keep it down. Legna doesn't know she's a daughter of Satan.

"Unless his love for her was so strong that he was able to come back himself," she stare at me and I blink staring into her eyes.

No...

I turn my head and got off the bed shaking my head. "No, no, no. I refuse to allow that," I said and my wife got off the bed walking up to me, and look up at me.

"Just think about!" She said. "The poem! The last things Mark said to her! By day, by night. I'll find another way, for all eternity. Don't you see? He found a way!"

I shook my head and clench my fist tightly. My breathing became heavier because I became infuriated.

"I'm not gonna let her love him," I growl in anger and my wife step closer to me caressing my cheek. I soon calm down and look into her peaceful relaxing eyes.

"You know you have no control over love," she said. "You know it's a natural thing not even the Gods above or below can't control. It's up to Legna's heart to choose who she loves," she stroke my cheek with her thumb.

I look down and close my eyes leaning my head against her hand. My hand relax and I sigh nodding. "I know, dear. I just don't want her to make a mistake again of killing herself," I said.

"I know. Let's go to sleep now," she said and I smile.

"Okay." We lay on the bed and turn off the lights. Legna...please choose the right person. The world hangs in the balance of you.
