The God And His Bride - Episode 22

 

Alixi

Long ago I had a blessed, one with the Lixi blessing, she had merited it with her pure heart and her honest ways.

She had been beautiful, generous, kind, giving.

I killed her.

She wished for too much, abusing my blessing and becoming greedy, you do not command a god, you certainly do not command the god of gods.

This human, this little human in front of me is becoming greedy, Wishing to me in one breath and commanding me In the other.

When I had blessed her I had thought things would go different, because I knew her child light, I had influenced her birth but it's apparent that humans never change.

They fucking do not change.

Disappointment is only the beginning of the many things I feel towards her.

This man Ezra, He must pray to his own gods, his life is on the balance.

"What do you mean he's going to die if you leave?" I ask slowly, as if talking to a simpleton. 

"It's just like I said, he's going to die, before I came in here his body had been wasting away, me present in here is the only thing keeping him alive, I step out, he dies" He says as if discussing the weather with me. 

I can't believe this, I won't believe this, hold on, What if I'm being pranked? What if this is all a big joke? 

"How do I believe you" I say, pulling away, sitting on my butt. 

"Child, don't do this" 

"No, I don't believe you, you are Ezra and you are playing on the fact that you know about my secret, I didn't  forget I told you, i remember I told you, isn't that why you left me? That and because you got a big record deal? What was it again? You couldn't handle dating a freak? I do not believe you or this or you" I say, my mind spinning, refusing to believe the truth staring me in the face. 

"Star" he says simply before leaning forward and placing his hand on my head. 

My eyes immediately fall close against the onslaught on voices in my head. 

"Oh God... That baby is soo cute.." 

"I wonder if there's some leftover chicken soup from last night..." 

"Oh God, what am I going to do about the kiss last night...." 

"No.

. Please don't hurt me.. It hurts.." 

"I'm so drunk right now..." 

The voice bombard my brain and I groan, it's been so long, so long. 

Inside all of the different tones, the different thoughts one voice rings true. 

"Do you believe me now Sona?" He asks but he's not speaking out, he's speaking into my head. 

Oh gods. 

"I believe, I believe, please make it stop" I say, outloud. 

The noise goes down drastically and stops at once. 

I lie back on the rug, tears filling my eyes and eventually spilling. 

I remember, oh God I remember those times when I was little, I remember being able to read minds, I almost ran mad when I couldn't stop hearing the thoughts of other people, I was so tired every day, all day, those days. 

I wished for it to go away and I woke up one morning and it was gone, He had done it, the boy with the dark wings and star tattoo on his head. 

"Why do you weep" He asks, standing, walking towards me and crouching before me. 

I sniffle, rolling over and looking into his eyes, my hand tucked under my head, my body curled in a ball. 

"I find I do not like the sight of your tears very much Sona" He says, lifting one hand to wipe a tear that's rolling towards my nose. 

"You left me" I find myself saying brokenly. He pauses, his eyes darkening. 

"I'm not holding you at fault but I just want to know what I did, did I say something wrong? You left me when I really needed you" I say, specifically, he had left when Ezra and I broke up, he was distant before but that period was a clean break, getting deserted by two men in my life was too much for me to handle.

Another bout of tears overtake me but this time they are silent, They roll freely, I don't stop them, my eyes are locked on his. 

His eyes trails the tear tracks, he looks pained.. 

"I find I hate knowing I made you cry" He says, wiping my face. 

I open my mouth to ask my question again, but my phone rings somewhere in the house. 

"My phone.." I don't finish before it materialises in front of me, Ringing and demanding attention. 

I won't say that didn't freak me out, I seat up, folding my legs under me and picking the phone. 

"Hey Mila" I say into the phone. 

"Where the hell are you?" She screams into the phone and I pull it away from my ear. 

"Don't you dare pull that phone away from your ear, you deserve to get railed at, now, where in the ever loving hell are you" 

"Something came up, I'm kind of at Ezra's place"  I say, that last part a little bit whispered. 

"Did I hear you right Star?" 

"Yeah" 

"Send me the address, I'm coming to get you and I'm going to kill that jerk, after slapping reality into you that is" She says. 

"Mila.. Mila, something really big happened" I say and she pauses. 

"Send me the address Star, or else I'm coming with Liang" 

"Sending the address right now Mila" I say and she disconnects, she must be really angry at me, she didn't even say bye. 

I turn to Ez.. Alixi to see him gone from my side, he's on the sofa, how does he move so silently? 

"That was my friend, Mila she's coming over, hope you don't mind" I say and he shakes his head, his eyes stuck on me. 

A stomach growls and I raise my brow at him. 

"You are hungry?" 

"I don't get hungry" He says and his stomach growls again. 

"Yeah, you are human now, you must be fed, what would you like to eat?" 

"Embrosia" He says. 

"Sorry dude, we don't have that here on earth, bacon and eggs should do" I say and he looks confused. 

"Come on, you wil like it" I say and he still doesn't budge. 

"OK, well, let me go see what's in the fridge, don't bother standing up to help" I say, moving away, after a few seconds I hear his footsteps following me. 

I smile.
