9. Fragile that was the word One would forever use to describe that day of fire and death and echoing screams. Fragile like glass that would break once you pressed on the cracks. Their world was imperfect, fragile, so easily destroyed like they were nothing until all he could remember was the smoke in his lungs and the tears of a younger girl with sunshine hair and the prettiest brown eyes.
8. Rage had been like acid in One's veins for years. The rage brimming in his gut every time he and his cepan moved from town to town, from cold houses to seedy apartments, it's quiet, almost unnoticeable even. But it's there none the same, just below the surface. Because the rage kept him sane as he tried to forget the memories of a home he may never come back to and rage made him try to stay alive more. Just so he could get his revenge one day.
7. Cautious what they had to be as they moved through the cities of Malaysia, the dark eyes of the people staring at them curiously every time they moved to a new town, the other students mesmerized by the blue of his eyes. It was ironically hard to blend in when he looked so different from them but his cepan thought this was a safe place and being cautious was the only thing that would keep them alive. So they stayed and he went from school to school, trying his best not to look like a freak.
6. Crush, it wasn't something he had very often. It wasn't lasting, wasn't infinite, it was only something they had here on Earth and not on Lorien. Sure, there were the occasional pretty Earth girls with their welcoming smiles and long legs. There were times even he couldn't keep himself from staring especially at the ones with sunshine hair and doe eyes like the scared little girl he met on the ship and held in his arms so perfectly as if she was meant for him. He could only hope he would see her again.
5. Inspired was such an exhilarating emotion as he wrote word after word on paper, the ink staining his fingertips and splotching on the crisp white paper. What an interesting art it was, to write and to create a perfect world of his own, to trap an emotion trapped between letters and see how it could affect people in the most amazing of ways. It was inspired. A fantastic enthusiasm in his bones as he wrote and wrote until his hand started to cramp.
4. Apprehensive the only thing he could only be every time his cepan went out to do something by himself. Apprehensive was what he felt in between the minutes of mind-numbing solitude as he waited in his house for his cepan to come home. Apprehensive was dawning on him every time his cepan wouldn't answer his calls. Apprehensive was the only thing left to be when he realized he was all alone.
3. Fear that was the emotion One could feel when his cepan didn't return after a few days. He knew, just knew with his mind shouting at him that his cepan was gone and he had to leave. So with a few Mars Bars, some clothes and forged documents in his backpack, he hopped in the car and drove off. He was now completely alone and the fear would never let him forget it.
2. Tired which was the only thing could feel anymore these days. He was tired, from running and always looking over his shoulder for anyone who'd like to take a stab at him. But he was running out of places to run and he had no one there to help him, he was all alone. The sad little alien boy so lonesome, so sad and so tired. But he doesn't stop even when he feels like doing nothing but to shout from the frustration because it was unfair, so damn unfair. And there were just days that he felt like he couldn't handle it anymore.
1. Tranquil, such a funny word to describe how he felt. But nonetheless, he felt tranquil as he waited for them, his would be murderers, the monsters that took away his home, his family and all that he knew from him. But it was strangely tranquil in that dark ruddy apartment because he knew he'd see them all again, his family, his people, maybe the eight others he never met, even his sunshine girl. Perhaps, he thought as he wrote down the last words on the paper, death could be tranquil.
