Never give up
It had spent a month since the tragic event, a dead month and painful fact of asphyxiating and burdened silences as mute death sentences. Life was going on, the girls tried to be strong, yet they avoided discussing the future of the world and of what it would , all were reaching the peak of the more restless torment that often resulted in outbursts or mute silence bitter taste.
It was no good to go back to California, just all four princesses had taken the easy way: the escape from 's hands were wrapped around Mariam's hair , holding the head of the girl who was still spewing once.
She had tears in her eyes, burning throat, completely dry and pungent. Both warned footsteps but did not give us weight. The actress tried to clean up quickly, while Julia opened the bathroom turned back to the girl and saw her on the floor, with her knees to her chest and her head buried in her legs. Blink of an eye the awakened from her trance, and then worried kneel beside her. «Yesterday you fainted on the set, now you threw up ... what's happening?»
Mariam's gaze was steeped in sadness but soon became more turbid. «You don't know nothing, you have not seen anything, okay?»
Julia gently stroked her forehead, ached to see her friend in that state, but knew she could not do anything to help her, but was stunned when she saw the tears scratch her friend's face. «All right, I'll do what you want only if we go to a doctor»
The girl picked up the handkerchief that Spanish was holding out, dying lips nervously. She did not know what to say or do, then simply look out the window with confused look. «In any case there is no where are hurt too.»
Mariam abruptly threw open the bathroom door and Julia followed her into the kitchen, screaming behind the girl. «It is not normal, not at all! All of us except you, we're fine»
«Julia, keep the secret for you!» Said Mariam with a hysterical tone, then stop suddenly. The eyelids blinked in them there was Ozuma who was watching the two girls curiously. «What is happening?»
«Nothing!» Said Mariam now but Julia immediately passed her, watching the boy uncertainly. «Mariam was bad yesterday and today !.»
The looks of the two girls meet with hatred, both were challenging with a full gaze of anger, until Ozuma reached the two women, tugging at his girlfriend with anger and concern. «How long has this been going on?»
Mariam crossed her arms under her chest, her eyes were cold and distant and every way she was impregnated with poison, «None of your business»
«It will need never my business, right? Look at you, you are more and more strange, sour and nervous. Life goes on and we hold to find a solution»
She furrowed her eyebrows and made pop tongue. «Tze, now you claim to be able to find a solution. You really think you know how I feel?»
«I do not know but I have eyes I also» it hurt him to see his girlfriend in that state. Mariam saw fall lower and lower, toward total self-destruction. She was increasingly dull, distant and far away. She not joking with him any more, nor had raised a steel wall that seemed indestructible and Ozuma wanted to find light in the darkness.
«You have not lost you the powers! You was who has ceased to be what it was without a brought Sapphira but I trusted her! It's my fault, not yours!» She trembled with rage exploded violently, her gaze was impassive despite his heart was wet with tears of blood.
«It's not my fault, either your! You can not accuse me of that!»
With an abrupt gesture she broke free from the grasp of Julia, then pushing her boyfriend. «It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault. Can you say just say this? I hate you, I hate the way you do! Did you understand? I hate you!»
Ozuma felt guilty. If only he had not left her alone that day maybe nothing would have happened. «Do not be stupid, reasons rather!»
«It's easy for you! For you it's always been easy. I'm sorry, but you can not understand how you feel» she shouted still trying to run away but he stopped her by the wrist and their eyes meet for a second until the close became weaker and weaker, now Mariam there was no more nothing to ran upstairs, closed the door violently while her back was sliding along the wall and her eyes filled with tears, conscious of the fact that they can not do anything more, venting all the pain that consumed Ozuma was confused, rejected the idea of watching Julia but the only thing he was able to say: «Is it really my fault?»
Julia sat in a chair, shaking her head in confusion. She does not even know what to say, and after a long time tried to restore order in the chaos that reigned in her mind. «She need to takes her time ... it's all too hard for now!»
The room was in total chaos, various clothes and object were scattered untidily on the bed, even on Boris, paper balls had formed a carpet on the floor, while Nadja kept going back and forth with nervous steps, scattering around other objects for her. She could not understand how everything was possible, and yet it was not normal.
She thought and thought about that day. By now it was an obsession, a constant thought, and the only thing Nadja could think of was that something was wrong.
Boris could not take any more. Now were days that the situation was got out of bed and grabbed her by Nadja's hips, downloading her abruptly on the bed. «That's enough, I am exhausted!»
The look of Nadja was suddenly empty and off, felt her eyes pinching and started to bite her lip to hold back tears. «What should I do?»
«I do not know, maybe we should clean up?» He said ironically, and then cast off the fingers with the girl, looking into her eyes.
Her gaze was clear, yet Nadja seemed to have the courage to look him in the eyes. «I do not know, everything has become so ...»
«Complicated? Confused? Difficult?»
«I never could choose the most appropriate words» head became heavy, then dropping onto the bed. The ceiling was the only place she could watch as the tears streamed down her face. «I'm thinking about Sapphira, I hope she is well»
«She did this to you! How can you think about things like that?» yelled Boris angrily, while Nadja wiped away tears. «She have allowed this but we would be dead if she did not cast a spell. There is something is wrong but do not know what»
Boris was silent, merely tighten Nadja against him. It was hurt to see her girlfriend in that state, but would stay next door, ignoring the fact that Kei was listening to everything.
Soon it would burst the biggest problem that would change the fate of the game.
Hilary could not me more than that situation debilitating. Whenever she could regain her life, this became elusive as a breath of the incident had the distinct feeling that she had lost everything, even herself.
Long had pretended that everything was fine, did not pay even a tear, focusing solely and exclusively on the books to study.
Foremost was the only one to understand that she should not surrender. She must not give in to turned to a look out the window and the door of her room, she saw Takao who was pretending to knock, snatching a half smile. «It is from our room,» she said in a joking tone and the boy came into the room, abruptly shutting the heavy tome university, then take her hands. «Now come with me"
A few minutes later they found themselves on the beach, the sun was slowly dipping into the water and the sky was colored pink, red and orange, the salt stung the nose and feet sank into the sand. «Close your eyes, tell me how you feel» whispered the boy. A single word escaped her lips. The student said: «Freedom ... but what do you want to tell me?»
«All or nothing, right? This is your motto,» he whispered in her ear. Takao knew what Hilary cared to give our best and knew that acting like a fool, pretending that everything was going well it would do no had to put aside his usual idiocies and be the rock of her woman.
She smiled sweetly, moving the sand with her feet. «I think it's useless to fall for what has happened. Our group is falling apart but there must be a solution»
«Yes, it is likely. I know, like back to the cave or take tests of courage. Stupid things like that, I think,» he said with a tone 's eyes widened for a second, then she jump into the arms of the young, falling both on the wet sand. «But you're a genius» dhe shouted enthusiastically dragging, but Takao had not realized what he had done. «What happened? I do not understand»
«Hurry, we have to tell the others!»
Dinner was a mixture of tension and glares vitriolic, no one dared to break the eerie silence that dominated the dining room usually very felt the weight of ring in his pocket and a boulder on the heart, Julia shuddered, was the only one to say a word, Kei looked grim at Nadja and Boris, waiting for their confession, Mariam and Ozuma were facing each other and not even looked into eyes, Hilary, instead, she ran her eyes over all, waiting for the right moment it never seemed to was Ozuma to break the silence, asking his girlfriend: «Can you walk the salt?»
She did not even look in his face, sliding the container on the table.
«Thank you»
«As always you have to have control over everything, right?»
«And you…»
«Stop it!» Cried Hilary slamming her hands on the table nervously. «Me and Takao, indeed, have found the solution! Remember? We left the cave fragments of energy, we could go there and take it!»
«Hurrah» Mariam said with false enthusiasm, «Let's kill ourselves once again»
«At least she has found a it will work, so you'll end up being Miss sympathy»
The actress gave him a withering look, instinctively trying to Nadja and Julia. The Spanish had overcome the crisis for a long time, but the thought of being able to still get her powers excited her and terrified at the same time. «It is a plausible solution, point is that something is still too weird »
Nadja looked at her empty glass, and only then noticed the sharp look of Kei and not served the other to guess that he knew. «I did that spell to prevent hurt us»
«Of course, even heed to that ...» Mariam looked Nayra, remembering not to say bad words, but unfortunately it was Dunga to add that word. «I mean, that bitch is a bitch acting like bitchy»
«How many times are you going to repeat that word?» She admonished Mariam, closing the ears of her daughter.
«Which? Bitch?»
The girl rolled her eyes, then turned attention to Nadja. «I think so too. There was something if anyone knows anything, speak now,» no one replied, and, once again, the actress began to play with her food, ironically whispering: «Well, no one says anything»
Ozuma looked at Mariam with an expression nervous, uncertain whether to speak or not. «I have got to know it and believe it is not bad. I just have premeditated everything for personal purposes»
The noise of a chair caught their attention, while Mariam got up, throwing her napkin on the the feeling of nausea and disgust had attacked again, then add annoyed, forgetting the phone on the table: «I'm going to vomit»
It took several minutes before the situation returned normal and Yuri felt the tension grow more and did not want to make a suggestion a hurried way, but the words it had learned seemed to vanish into thin memory, forget.
With a casual gesture rose from the table, inserting the CD player the song played entirely to plan that Julia loved the most, all the lights went out and slowly lit candles only, only creating a play of light and shadow. « will never kneel, this is clear,» he said in a trembling voice looking gaze of his girlfriend, unaware of what would have been difficult to control everything. Julia did not understand yet, struggling to comprehend the words of her boyfriend. «I remember the first time I saw you at the bar years ago and the first thing I thought was that you were beautiful and fate would have you, we got 's been years and in addition to beautiful, now I know you're strong, intelligent, sweet, clumsy, hysterical, crazy, sensitive, determined. You're complicated, but you're perfect, you're perfect for me, for what you do at work, orer who you are. I want to marry you»
Julia's heart jumped in her throat and jumped back down, do not know what to in the eye of the storm, she tossed and stirred cling to Yuri's neck, kissing her lips softly as tears streamed down her face, before yelling: «Absolutely, certainly, wonderfully yes!»
Both could not believe what was happening, kissing again more deeply, two souls who had found peace in one.
It was after midnight and Ozuma was still in the living room alone, had no desire to go to her, not after what had happened. He looked at the ring he had bought for her with empty and off without any kind of expression, sure of the fact that he had run too. «I don't need you too» he whispered, putting the ring back in its box, and then run it on the couch.
«Instead it is a really nice to her, maybe it calmed down»
Julia's voice made him turn. «Now you also know my secret» he tried to joke him while Julia gathered custody, taking a seat next to the guy who let out a heavy sigh. «I wanted to do things right this difficulty, I managed to get a job today, I wanted that everything was fine and instead do not even know if I was left or what we are»
Julia held back a yawn, and then touch the hair of him. «It's a beautiful thing, however. You have to give her time to digest everything. Today was not really angry with you. She was angry but she is angry with the word and that's know, and you already know that you probably now above arguing with her»
He rolled his eyes, only to mention a smile. «She's probably beating a pillow, namely »
«See? You know her well and you know that for a dispute not ruin everything you are building» A heavy yawn escaped from the lips of Julia who immediately rubbed her eyes: « I'm going to bed, otherwise Yuri kills me,» she took his hand, pulling it up, and then give him a slight blow to so thrust on his shoulders. «Come on, go to her, have agoodnight, sweetheart»
The young man was left alone for a few seconds, he felt inexplicably lighter and free and quickly walked toward the stairs when the sound of a phone made him go back and only then noticed that it was Mariam's phone away, it was not right to invade the privacy of his girlfriend, and yet it was strange that someone calls at that hour.
He came back to pick up the phone, but the call was over, leaving only the design of an envelope on the screen but, again, the phone began to ring, showing a completely unexpected covered his mouth and nervously ran his finger on the display and a male voice came to his ears.
«It's me, Jordan! Since we went out together, I did nothing but think of you! »
Ozuma eyes widened. He could not believe what I was hearing, everything had suddenly fallen on him and a sense of bitterness struck him across the face, has found himself again before a bitter reality. «Jordan, Mariam has forgotten the phone» he fell on the couch rubbing his tired eyes. «And above all, I ask you not to call my girlfriend,» he added through clenched teeth.
There was an unreal and heavy silence, broken only by the sound of gold breaths. «Ah, now is she your girlfriend?» asked ironically Jordan, then burst into laughter, amused. «The last time I saw her after work she did not think that way at all»
The blader immediately wanted to break off the conversation, but knew he had to remain calm and not give in to provocations of she could not have betrayed him, it seemed all so absurd and completely false. «I do not believe you»
Again Jordan laughed. «Maybe you should check our messages. I can tell you that between me and her there was something more than a kiss. Give it up, Mariam is mine and always come back to me. It's just a matter of time»
«Go fuck yourself, asshole,» he closed the phone, then tossing it on the sofa. The forces seemed to fail him for a long time, he did not even know if those words were true. Check the phone of his girlfriend would be a serious and very dangerous act but something prompted him to go and see, maybe he also understood the reason Mariam was dismissed in any way for several grabbed the phone looking at the blank screen for several seconds with a still uncertain gaze was all automatic, and in a moment he found himself reading the forbidden conversations of his girlfriend, falling inexorably in the cruel Jordan's trap.
