She didn't respond to me.
For a moment, she just stared at me.
Not startled.
or neither defensive.
It was a kind of look that had seen every single aspect of human life.
Her lips looked as if they were begging to let the words come out.
She stood so still. So quiet it is was almost unsettling.
"Answers?"
Her voice felt strange.
"You see, Some things.."
she continued, her gaze drifting away from me for a second,
".....aren't meant to be understood just yet."
I think I frowned.
" That's not an answer, Aerielle."
She looked stunned.
I think it worked.
She looked back in my direction, wearing that same calm and cold expression.
"You should go." She said gently.
My eyes narrowed slightly by hearing those three words.
No...no...no.
I'll get deeper. I want to know. I don't want to be left in the dark..
"What are you-"
I stopped.
Something just flickered right now.
A golden light.
But not around me.
It was all around her.
She started to fade into nothingness.
" No no no, where are you going?!"
" Just think of everything happened here as a bad dream, ok? Thank you for talking to me..Vantir..."
Why should I believe that?
" As I was saying, please wai-"
And...
Damn.. she's gone just like that.
Wait...where did she go?
She was just here a moment ago.
What on heavens happened?
Was it just another hallucination?
My mind feels like a total chaos...
Now if I think about it..
How much time has passed since I talked to her?
Why was I even here?
Why is everything happening so quickly?
" Do ya' plan to talk to yourself all day here? "
I quickly turn around to see a awfully familiar face.
" Kenny? What are you doing here?" I asked shockingly.
"Me? Bruh stop jokin' around. We were literally walking together this whole time, and then you just sprinted towards the entrance as if to catch a ghost.
Let's go, Revin's waitin' for us."
I exhaled slowly.
Of course it's Kenny and Revin.
What was I thinking?
My memory feels so fuzzy.
As if something really didn't happen.
" Let's go, V. By the way, wanna grab some ice cream on the way? My treat. I finally got some allowance from our Warden." Or so He says with a bright smile on his face.
Yes, This is it. I can forget everything when I am with Kenny and Revin. All I need to do is to feel this calming and nostalgic emotion.
Nothing more, more less..
" mm-hm. Let's go and have some fun."
This is right. This is all I need right now.
I will be fine.
