Eye-dentity 3; the fall

Chapter 2

Turning into Something

*****

            Julian frowned at the image that is slowly forming in the glass of water. Dark smoke field the water and fierce screams cracked and break the glass. He wanted to see a clear future for Dycon since his sixth birthday is coming. He wanted to give him a present from his future but… as he watched the water leaking out from the table, he knew, something will happen soon.

            He whipped it away and tried again but still the same response. He has to warn them, especially Cassandra and Dylan. It looks like Dycon’s condition has worsened.

            He stood but froze when he saw the sun rising.

The day of the Stygian birth has come…

***************

            Dycon actually feel nice when he woke up. He’s in between his mama and papa and they are still sleeping soundly. He gently sat and kissed them on their cheeks.

            They both turned to him and smiled sleepily. His mother gave him a tight bear hug, “Happy Birthday, my prince.”

            “happy Birthday, Dycon,” his father greeted. He grinned as he excitedly jumped out of the bed.

            “Let’s go, mama, papa.. Dapat mag-ayos na tayo!! Dadating na sina Lady Lucille!”

                        He went straight to the bathroom and is followed by his mother. “excited much, anak?”

            “YEEESS!! I really like to wear my ironman costume!! That way, I’ll feel like a superhero!!”

            She laughed and started bathing him. Once their done, she let him wear a  t-shirt first. And when they went down to the kitchen, they saw his father casually drinking his coffee with his co-hunters. They all felt their presence and cheerfully greeted him.

            As he was about to sit, his heart suddenly contracted painfully that he almost screamed in pain. But it’s gone before he can even react. He looked at his mother who’s now eyeing him with concern. He just smiled, not mentioning about what he felt. His mother reached for his hand and squeezed it, her eyes itched with worry.

            “May masakit ba sayo?”

            “wala po, mama.”

            “Are you sure? I saw you winced,” she lowered her voice. He smiled at her and nod.

*************

            She sigh in relief when Dycon just nod at her. When her eyes met Dylan’s thoughtful gaze over the cup of coffee, she smiled. His eyes twinkled and darkened while a grin spread in his lips. She grinned while both of their eyes turned red.

            Nico and Vlad both cleared their throats getting their attention. She blushed and continued eating her breakfast while Dylan rose from his sit. She looked at him when he stood beside her. “Why?”

            “You’re hungry.”

            “Yeah, looks like it, Cassandra,” Nico noticed. Dylan held out his hand and she accepted it. She looked at Dycon who now is busy drinking his milk.
