Obsius

10

The cold night air always gives me calmness along with the animal sounds is waking up for the hunt at night. I wasnt in the mood for doing my homework because of what happen at school earlier.

My secret that I had been buried deep inside of me had been exposed to the others especially my best friend, Ollie. When darkness consumed me, I had given the bullies a warning and they ran away with a nod and a frightening in their eyes but I didnt dare to look at my best friend because I will expect to see his frightening green eyes after I show him my true self.

So I make a decision to run away from him without even looking at him. I heard he called my name but I didnt stop or turn around and I just ran away to my home.

So here I am sitting by my windowsill across my room while watching the night scenery. A dark very creepy woods and a beautiful meadow across the woods. I had told Max and Lily about my power and I can tell by their expression that they are worried.

I also told them that if Ollie came looking for me, just tell him that I dont want to see him. They just say okay and they tell him that if he ever come here.

But sitting in my room while hugging my knees doesn't help me. I need fresh air and so I decide to climb down on my window and headed to the meadow where Ollie and I used to play.

The meadow was glorious expanse of grass and wild meadow flowers, grass gust gently in the breeze. The meadow flowed like a sea of green over the hillock and the two feet grass waved in the cold breeze.

For the night summer, the air was cold for me but Im still like it. I was walking up on the hill and the fireflies flew all around me and I can see the darkest sky, the stars light the sky like the snowflakes in the night just like the bandage wrapping around my arms.

I try to forget about the incident but it was so hard to forget it because the darkness already part of me. I was sitting under the oak tree up on the hill while looking at the stars.

There's a small little pond nearby the tree and sometimes I will play the water and looked at my reflections. I remember how I saw my own reflection earlier, my hair is as black as charcoal and my eyes are black like a demon itself.

And what I see right now was beyond me because it's happening again just like before.

She had the same features as me, same hair style and pale skin just like me except for the hair and eyes. I was so confused and terrified of my own reflection in the pond. Then she was smirking at me and that make me even more shocked.

"Who are you?" I whisper to her.

"I'am you and you are me. I'm like a shadow of you."

"But I'm not like you. What are you?"

"Some people called me dark angel and some people called me a demon. Depends on what people want to believe." She said still smirking to me.

"But why are you doing this to me?"

"I had seen you suffer my dear Luna and I don't want to see you suffer anymore. Soon when you getting older and older, the darkness inside of you will grow more powerful than before. And you will realize how much power you can have."

"What?"

I was so shocked but before I even get more answer from her, I was interrupted by someone who called my name behind me. I turn around and I see Ollie coming near to me.

"Ollie?"

I whisper to myself but then I turn around and looked back to my reflection, grey hair with grey eyes. Shes gone now and looks like I would never get the answer from her anymore.

When I was thinking out loud, it makes me realize that I was totally crazy right now. I was talking to my reflection and it only my day even crazier.

"Luna are you okay? What are you doing here all alone especially at night?" He said once he already beside me.

"Nothing."

I said and walk past him and sitting back under the tree and not dare to look at him. Then he followed behind me and sitting beside me. Im still not dare to look at him but instead my fingers brushing along my necklace and I open my locket. We didn't say anything, just silent keep accompanies us.

"You know, my father used to say to me that after we die, we will become the stars to lighten up the dark sky and guide us so that we won't be lost."

"You mean Max?"

"No I mean my real father before he dies in front of me." Hearing that makes him startled and look at me.

"You never told me anything about your real family before."

He whispered and still startled but then a while ago he gifted me the sympathy look on his face to me. Then I take out my locket and show him the picture of my family inside it.

"This is my real parent and my little sister."

"I didn't know you had a sister before."

"Her name was Aurora Blackwood but I always called her little peaches because she's as sweet as a peaches and she always called me Lulu because she doesn't know how to pronounce my name when she was younger but that name stuck until she was growth."

"She sound like a sweet little girl."

He said giving me a warm little smile to me and I smile back to him too.

"My parent, Jacob and Emma Blackwood, they were very loving and caring parent and no one can ever replace them in my heart. Don't get me wrong, I love Max and Lily for taking me as their daughter and I'm very grateful but sometimes, I just wish parent were still here."

"How did they die? I mean what happen to you?"

And so I tell him everything about my past and my family to him. He deserved to know what Im truly am and what Im capable of doing too. I tell him everything single things, from my parent die until Max found me. After everything I explain to him, he seemed accepted me.

"One more question. Why aren't you telling me about you're the Obsius before and that stone somehow give you power?

"Because I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me. You heard what I say before. I killed people and I don't want you to be afraid of me and that's why I never told you."

It doesn't change anything Luna because you're my friend. The only friend I had since I got injured myself. It's true that I was terrifying at first but I know deep down, you still there. I know my friend that I know was still there in her."

He gave the warmest smile to me and I can't help to cry. He was startled when he saw me burst into tears and I quickly hug him. Slowly he hugged me back and after a while hugging each other.

"You know, you look terrible after you cry and there's a mucus on my cloth." He smile and chuckled at the same time.

"What? You will pay for that." I laugh and chasing him.

We were burst into laughter of happiness and chasing together under the stars.
