A chain..he was making a chain, something about it..its meant for me. The thought of being trapped any way was always one of my many fears..I wasn't claustrophobic, but Chains always scared me, in any form metaphorical or physical.
“Oh Midnight..Long long time..little cousin” His voice became much deeper..making the earth feel like its rattling the earth, my voice was lost I couldn't say anything. He had so much pleasure about that.
“You did give my sister so much fun though, she begged my mother to be sent here with you all. With her memories. To watch you all in everyday struggles..I must say it was also enjoyable behind a screen, but not as much as watching you speechless for once, honestly don’t remember a time when you'd shut up with your comebacks, completely stubborn and wouldn’t give in to anything..even when she was afraid which was always your advantage.”
He paused for a second, his grin fading away, his eyes fill with sadness, only thing I could hear where the pounds on the door. But soon he shook his head and his grin appeared again.
“Give in to your dark side and this would have been so much easier. Halflings like us Midnight are special, Keepers are idiots..you know how many Halflings lives they've taken? We’re simply returning the favor..Balance? Whats wrong with chaos??A little magic They have wonderland! Middle earth?! Neverland! Narnia! Atlantis?!” I stopped him.
“Their all just fairy tales and books, none of that's real” He turned to me now with a serious expression.
“Human Imaginations are powerful things..minds...gateways to new worlds, they all exist every book you've ever read! different worlds and dimensions.. Panem from the hunger games, Divergent Chicago, Illea , Midnight don't you get it?? These places all exist! Keepers keep them apart. But they allow humans see into them as their form of Magic...Open your eyes! Don't you realize where the good guys? Get rid of the keepers open the Gates! A world of imagination turned into realality..how amazing would that be? No borders. NO lies! Magic set free..power set free..bridges to the unknown to the amazing..” The very idea...
“Why was I against all this then? If its something so...crazy it was amazing?? You're not telling me the whole story!” I screamed.
He got angry, I could see it in his eyes “You know why..” He looked at his chain “One day Midnight..you can't hide from it forever” and he vanished as simply as that in a lighting stoke gone..Falik pushed through the door, and he rushed over to me.
“What did he do?!” I stood there in shock, not knowing what to say
“Whats his name Falik...” I knew it..just was worried if I where right or wrong, why I didn't know why, he studied me for a second, his mouth became a frown and whispered his name, as though if he said it too loud, my split personality cousin would return..
“Mauro.”
