talking to the moon

Chapter Two

"Good morning everyone!" said Teren ,ugh! oh how I hate this guy, so annoying, I'm surprised mother still lets him in the house, I know everyone secretly hates him, they are just being nice, how sure am I? well before Lina died she kind a taught me how to properly use my deduction skills, its quite cool actually.

"You are all looking magnificent this morning!" he calls out cheerfully to the maids. They just bow their heads at his arrival. Everyone knows that openly showing any disrespect for Teren means instant " you're fired get out!" kind of thing. His mother is like a Lion even I need to respect him ,couldn't even roll an eye at him or else his mother and also my mother will kill me.

I looked at him "Treasure hunting?" I say

He gives me a nod. "It took me all morning to find these its quite cool" he replies, his voice nonchalant, his hands holding the "treasure" he got. Goodness even this small gestures of his annoys the hell out of me. "You know I have to stay here for  a few weeks mother asked me so, exiting isn't?, I get to do treasure hunting everyday, your house has some good stuff I can find, you should try it sometime" He moves a little closer to me and looked me straight into the eye.

"You slept poorly last night" Teren murmurs as he starts to eat, I was startled I look back at him.

"how'd you know?" I said, he stared back

"I-I mean why would you say that? I slept very well last night" he raises his eyebrows I know he wouldn't buy this, his deduction skills are better than mine, heck his even better than my sister Lina. 

I sighed " I'll sleep better tonight, I promise" I look at him praying it'll convince him so he can stop talking and mind his own business.

"You better be" He said then motion at the drink the maid prepared for him. I looked back at my food and ate in silence. Teren finished first and stands up. "I'll be in the garden". he said as he started walking to the door "Like I care" I whispered at myself and secretly rolls my eye, I really hates his guts. 

"Hey Avrielle" I looked at my sister Lana "Hi how are you sister?" I said, looking back at her with my sleepless eyes I smiled she look so alive, so happy, so carefree wishing I could live as happily as her without these nightmares haunting me every night. 

"I feel quite good today thank you very much" she said smiling "Oh I see Teren's been here, how is he?" I rolled my eyes "Just ask him yourself Lina, I'm tired" I sighed and drink the tea.

"Alright then, have a nice day Avrielle, and oh tell mother I won't be back until 5pm I have music lesson's to attend to" she said waving her hand at me " Alright, I will" I said back and wave my hand. 

I returned to my room and lay myself on the bed, I can't help but think about Lina. Oh now you miss her really Avrielle after you killed her? Wow you're one of a kind. I can hear my subconscious whispering to my ear, I don't want this I don't want her dead I want her to be by my side everyday I miss her I miss her so much I miss her smile I miss her calling me little poison berry, I miss Lina. Dumb are you? Are you guilty now? Go let your guilt eat you soon you'll be dead meat too Avrielle. "PLEASE STOP!" I screamed " please-please stop, stop please" 

I woke up and its already sunset, I jumped out in my bed and went to balcony, from here I can see Teren "Still doing treasure hunt huh" I said to myself, I looked at the sky and see the moon its the most beautiful thing ever created in this world, in this universe, my eyes filled with amazement while staring at it, not long after I started to cry, my regrets, my fears, my loneliness, its crippling into my soul, all I can think about is that night the last time I saw Lina, her eyes, the pain in her eyes as she cries desperately for help, her hand reaching out to me pleading me to help her, I-I stand there staring at her until her last breath, I didn't do anything, I could've done something I could've saved her, but no I didn't. 

"I-I'm sorry Lina I'm so sorry" I whispered to the moon hoping that she can hear me. I keep my eyes at the moon hoping to see my sister waving at me telling me its alright I forgave you, but no she can't, she can't, crying my heart out I suddenly feel comfort maybe its Lina maybe its not who knows right? all I know is, this what I need right know............
