Hey guys! Remember this is part of a trilogy, so there's a sad story for Max-Ernest and Yo-Yoji too! You'll know it's me when you see the picture you saw for this one. They all have the same picture. ;) Check them out! And please review! Thank you. :)
Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to be normal.
To never have to worry about anything you couldn't tell anyone else. To have your biggest problem in life be that you couldn't tell your crush you like him, or that you flunked a 100 point test.
I wasn't ever asked if I wanted to be the secret keeper. I never came with a note that warned me about the darkest years ahead of me when I was dropped on my mother's doorstep. I was forced into this. Why? Because one of my parents, whom I had never even met, was once the secret keeper. So here I was, forced to do something for someone I had never even known. For someone who thought it would be okay to drop their baby girl on a doorstep one day.
I guess I had always felt alone, when I really thought about it. Yeah, I had Max-Ernest and Yo-Yoji. I had my mother and my two grandpas. But there had always been something missing. It was as if there was an empty hole in my heart. A hole that needed, yet never would, to be filled with the loving touch of a father. Don't get me wrong, I loved my mother dearly! But I couldn't help but imagine life sometimes with the other parent.
As time went on and it had been four years of being in the Terces, I started to feel like my mother and I were slipping away from each other. All my real problems, my Tercesproblems, I could never share with her, and it killed me inside. I had my two closest friends to help me, but not even they could help me when it came to my secret keeper business. I was alone. I had always been alone.
That was why I couldn't face The Midnight Sun when I was 15. They knew that I knew the secret. They didn't want anything to do with the rest of the Terces Society anymore. Just me, and only me. I was helpless alone. I had my backpack I always carried around, and I also had the some of the few facts that I had bared to learn from Max-Ernest. But it wasn't enough. I was missing my backup. My collaborators. My best friends.
They had offered to help me, to come with me and fight with me. But I was a fool and told them I could handle it on my own. I thought I was so strong back then. I thought I could do anything! Yet somehow, in some messed up, demented way, The Midnight Sun convinced me to join them.
Maybe it was the fact they would give me brand new, beautiful ears. Or maybe it was because I would never die, be forever young. But the biggest reason of them all was that she told me if I gave her the secret, I could have a real family. One that would love me, give me everything I ever wanted, and be there for me. I knew it was wrong. I always knew. And I let the enemy win. I knew in my heart there was no going back after what I had agreed to.
So there I stood, gazing into the eyes what once were my two best friends. They had never stopped fighting. They believed they could get revenge on The Midnight Sun. Unlike me, they weren't as vulnerable.
There was something in their eyes when they looked at me. It was something like true hatred. If I died, they probably wouldn't even care. It was strange to think that two years ago, we were so close.
That was when I realized something I never had before: Those two were my family, and I had been a fool not to see it in the first place. I had had something The Midnight Sun would never have. And that thing was love.
Hope you liked that! Don't forget to review. ;) I love you guys! 3 And check out Max-Ernest's and Yo-Yoji's story too!
