The Other Half Of Me

Love in Hell

Saturday was the best day to carry out my plan on retrieving Lyon. I felt a little bit nervous but it was like I couldn't live without him which sounds crazy cause I just met this guy like a week ago. All my efforts would have been fruitless cause  Lyon's shift for the day was over and he was already gone but as if it were my lucky day, one of his co-workers had a hint on where he might be. I was surprised on what I saw when I got there, it was like a farm land but was mainly filled with sliced woods. The factory was really populated making it a little bit hard to find him in the mist of all these craving eyes. I asked a lady if he knew where I could find him but she denied that nobody with the name Lyon works here. It was pretty confusing but as the guys I asked started messing with me, She directed me to a corner and my nervousness flipped in as I came closer to the corner. There he was, swaying like a guitar rockstar as he divides the stubborn wood in front of him with his axe. "Lyon" I called out but he couldn't hear me with those headset plugged to his ear. A guy tapped his shoulder pointing at me to get his attention to my presence. He turned around with a surprise look on his face followed by a frown, He nailed the axe on the wood letting it stand on it's on before walking awkwardly towards me. " hey Jess what's up" he said trying not to meet my gaze. " am good and you" I replied closing the distance between us. " not bad " he said. " Ok Lyon let's get over this, Am really sorry about how our last meeting ended, I kind of overreacted but you do deserve something like that" I said teasingly. He took it rather serious as I could see his frown grew deeper, before he could say anything, i trolled up and kissed him without resentment. I could feel a pain grilling down my throat but it subsided as I didn't give it any attention. I knew it was Aurora's past growling but I got over it. It took me seconds to part our lips as I could feel the urge to keep it running but the gaze from his co-workers drew  me back to reality. Lyon smiled a crooked smile as he scanned me with his eyes showing a confusing expression.
"It's crazy though, a guy that can slice strong woods into pieces could not take care of two drunk fools" I teased him.
He laughed out loud like it was such a funny joke " says the girl that just kissed me without considering her previous act towards a kiss, I must say you do have a very mind blowing fantasy going on in your life, but I did begged you not to put me in your slammed ass lists remember" . I giggled a little bit but embarrassed as I saw the piercing eyes of our audience. " isn't there any place we could talk without getting the attention of the press? I said. " sure , if you could wait for a few minutes, I can get this done and maybe we can leave " he replied. " Don't worry about it, i will take care of it all but on one condition , I want to hear it all, not a single exempted detail from you" a guy said from behind us. Lyon gave him a wink and we left, I decided to give him a few details about last time so he won't be surprised if he meets the crazy me again. " Lyon I want to talk to you about something" I said as I sank fingers into my hair. " sure anything.... you can tell me anything" he replied freely.
" 4 months ago I was raped and I " Lyon stood still on hearing my first sentences, I could see how tense his eyes looked as he stared at me with an exotic calmness while listening to my forktails." I haven't really gotten over the trauma, That's what really happened with the kiss. Am kind of aggressively sensitive to any thing related to intimacy" I explained staring at the floor to avoid his gaze that might wither me but as I heard nothing from him for a little longer while which was unusual. I looked up to see him in shock, standing like a Romania statue. " Lyon " I called out waving hands to bring him back. " am so sorry , I had no idea. I thought you were ...." He said as he snapped out from his thoughts. " I was What? I asked trying to get him to finish his sentences. " Never mind " he responded. " you thought I was crazy" I asked . " maybe, I never knew this was the case" he replied  with total sincerity in his voice. I knew the story wasn't mine rather it was Aurora's but it suits the situation better than mine plus Aurora and I are stucked together right now so her story is indirectly mine. We walked in silence for a few minutes before Lyon placed his hands around my shoulder in a comforting way but quickly removed his hands " am I allowed to do that? He asked jokingly. " you're so bad at this you know right" I said slightly punching his arm. " am just trying to take precautions, I can't survive another punch from you, my doctor advices strongly against that" he teased. Moments with Lyon were always memorable, We walked home tightly in each other's arm, he didn't even realise that we were already at my house as we stood beside the road. " do you mind if I take you for a walk tomorrow to a very special place" he asked.  " nope as long as it's not a volcano, Am good to go" I replied still tucking myself in his arms. We were so into each other that we weren't aware of my mom's arrival. Mom slammed the door intentionaly to get our attention, "Mom" I yelled out of disappointment. At the mention of the word MOM Lyon quickly broke off from me, I thought he got stung by a bee or scorpion as his reaction was so funny. He looked away shyly as my mom came closer " hi sweety how was school" she said with her eyes widely striking Lyon. " mom today is Saturday" I replied angrily cause mom was ruining the moments for me. " Ow sorry I forgot, hmmm Sweety aren't you gonna introduce me to your boy ...... I mean friend" she said with laugh scorching down her throat. " Mom meet Lyon and Lyon pls meet my mom" I introduced dryly. " Lyon ... I like that name " she mumbled. " thanks Mrs Miles" Lyon responded still avoiding her gaze. " why don't you come in for a cup of coffee" mom requested. " don't bother yourself pls I was just about to leave, maybe some other time" Lyon said quickly cutting her off but mom wasn't such an easy type. " no Lyon not on my watch, I can't let you leave without a cup of coffee" she squinted. " mom Lyon would be coming tomorrow to pick me up. You can feed him with your hands if you want, just let him be for today pls" I said with terror in my voice. Mom gave up and left us, we both breathed heavily and let out a huge chuckle. " well seems like it's time for me to shoot off, see you tomorrow" Lyon said as he walked backward slowly. " not so fast, what's the dressing code for tomorrow" I asked mischiviously." Maybe a ballerina dress with a bow tie" he joked. " just look casual, you're always look pretty on whatever dress you are on" he said. He gave me a hug and left, I took a deep breath as I walked up to my house, of course I knew what was waiting for me back in the house, mom is going loose her sanity over this. Immediately I step a foot through the door, She jacked me up and we both landed on the couch, " are you hungry" she asked. " no " I replied trying to figure out what she's up to. " okay no dinner for tonight, Am a little bit hungry but you are going to feed me your story, no excuse" she said dragging to her room. We chatted like teenage BFF's on their first date until the Lord of sleep did me a huge favour by sending her to her dream world. I was so tired when I got to my room but with the way things are, I feel better than ever but little did I know that my radical happiness was going to end with a storm. I laid on the bed thinking about Lyon and I until a vision of one of Aurora's murderer's location triggered to mind . He was heeding towards a bar, the visions seized as he went into it. Oh Lord I could feel the blood in my veins boil out, I tried to control myself but it was too late, i found myself walking outside by 11 pm following a trail umhumanly possible, Aurora has taken over me and there is nothing I can do about it. Powers and supernatural gifts comes with a price and this is one of it I have to pay for letting a spirit after vengeance inside of me. Everything seemed great with Aurora around but now am regretting ever taking this decision, I could see the picture of what she's planning to do to that man circling in her mind. I just have to bear the fact that am going to become a murderer for her sake. We( Aurora and I) climbed high buildings with speed racing to cut a head off and all I could think of was...... HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS COMING FOR HIM.......
