Thanks for being patient and waiting for this update. Hope you like it!!
We had swam for a long time, and I really started to feel sick so I got out of the lake and laid down on a huge warm flat rock that sat up above the lake. I looked down and watched them goof around in the lake.
"Are you sure you can't swim anymore Mika?!" Calle yelled up putting her hand above her eyes to block out the sun.
"Yeah Calle, I'm pretty sure that I don't feel good, you have fun though." I called down rolling over onto my back and staring up at the sky. The rock felt warm beneath me. Would it be totally cliché of my to say that it felt like heaven?
"AW! Kyran where are you going?!" I heard Dustin complain. I closed my eyes against the sun which became even more intense as a cloud moved from in front of it.
A large shadow passed in front of the sun and I opened my eyes glad that there were some clouds out. But when I opened my eyes I didn't find a cloud. I saw Kyran standing in front of my, hand outstretched towards me.
"What?" I asked confused.
"We're going home, if you're ill again you need to see the doctor." He said as he leaned down and grabbed my hand not waiting for me to reach out to him. He pulled me up and cradled me in his arms. I heard him grunt when his let his wings out.
"HEY! Where are you two going!" Eliza complained waving her arms around.
"Mika isn't feeling too well, so I'm taking her home." He answered, as we took off into the sky.
"We'll come by later to see how you're feeling!" Calle yelled.
We were flying through the air, it always seemed so effortless to him. I sighed, and he pulled me closer to him, his skin warm against mine. I blushed when I realized that I was only wearing my swim suit still, and him only his trunks.
"Are you okay? You're starting to feel warm!" He said worried. I buried my head into his chest. "I'm okay." I said quietly.
"No matter what you say I'm still taking you to the doctor." He said, I watched as the clouds danced with us, his white hair, and wings blending almost perfectly into the clouds above.
My eyes became heavy, and I yawned.
"Hey, don't fall asleep!" He yelled at me.
"I'm…not." I said, as I just closed my eyes to rest my head against his chest. I felt so warm. Everything was perfect.
Something was very, very warm. But it was soooo dark. I peeked my eyes open and found something brighter outside of them. I proceeded to open them again the rest of the way, and nearly gasped in shock when I saw a half naked-swim suit wearing- Kyran laying beneath me.
He was already awake and when I looked up at him he smiled and wrapped his arms around my back and turned to that we were laying on our sides facing each other.
"How was your nap?" He asked looked at me with those red eyes that seemed to take my breath away. Mika, get a freaking grip on yourself! This is your older brother!
"I-it w-as qui-quiet…I guess," I was stumbling for words. "how long was I out for?" I asked trying to maneuver out of his grasp but his hold was tight.
"About 4 hours, mom and dad weren't worried since you've been sleeping a lot anyways but I think something may be wrong with you." He said concerned.
Oh, boy, and that isn't the half of it. Something is definitely wrong with me. I thought to myself.
I just nodded mostly confused and distracted. I realized that I wasn't just wearing a bathing suit anymore; he had slipped a light sweater over me.
"You seemed cold, and if you're already sick…well I don't really know now do I?" he said with a smile that didn't quite touch his eyes like the others.
"Doc…" I said but stopped myself confused.
"What was that?" he said leaning in closer to me, his eyes smoldering.
"Didn't you say…taking me to the doctors." I said.
"Ah, is that all." He said pulling away. "I did take you, stupid idiot said that you were fine, needed rest yada-yada-yada but I don't think that's true." He said looking off somewhere in the room.
The room.
Which room were we in anyway? I looked around and didn't see my familiar floor draped in clothes everywhere, I didn't see anything that reminded me of my room, my plain, white, regular room. Nope. This room was made up with blacks and blues, and whites, It was nice I guess, and the light was streaming in taking away from the intended darkness of the black.
Could my brother perhaps be a fellow punk-Goth like me? I looked back up to him an inquisitive look in my eyes and he smirked knowing the question and nodded.
A surprising smile broke across my face and I actually laughed.
"It's not that funny." He said getting defensive.
"Oh, please tell me that you see the funny in two angels that are gothic1 please let me that you see the herbarium that it brings me!" I cried laughing uncontrollably.
"I do, and I got over it about 300 years ago." He said with a snort. That cut off my giggles and stared at him n wonder.
"How old are you?" I asked him, more liked begged, but still.
"Well…I stopped aging when I turned 190, so I guess I'll look 19 forever. But since then, I'd say it's been about 500 years, so I guess I'm about 690 years old something around there." He said.
"Oh…" Is all I could say. "So…how much older than me are you?" I asked.
"You're about. 660 years old, sixty years younger than me." He said.
I looked at him in shock. "That's part of a lifetime for a human, they only get about 100." I said in wonder. "I use the think I only had 100. Maybe less." I admitted. His hand came up and brought my fallen face up to look him in the eyes, I didn't even know when I looked down.
"You're not one of them, you're not human, you will never die." He said certain.
"I'll die one day, no one lives forever." I said sadly.
"We will." He said staring off into space again.
"This conversation has become depressing, and there's more you have to tell me anyway." I said reaching out and taking his hand, his eyes seemed to widen in surprise before he even looked back at me.
"What do you want to know?" He asked.
"Everyone else, how old are they?" I asked hopeful.
"Well I don't really know Mom and Dad, as you can expect they are sensitive about their ages, but I know Zaniel, Sera and Samuels." He said tightening his hold on my hand. Our hands. Which laid awkwardly between us on the bed.
"Sera and Sam are the newest editions. I'd say that they are about 100 years even or so, you know if you haven't caught on the ages here progress ten times slower then they do for humans. In the three years it would take for a human newborn to reach three years of age, it would take an Angel about 30 years. But that only makes us smarter, gives the brain more time to prepare." He trailed off not sure of what he was saying anymore. I could not even imagine having little child for 60 years, never.
"That's an awful long time." I said in wonder.
"Yeah, then after so long, once you breach the 170 year mark your body starts to slow down, and pick how long it wants you to age for, mine wanted me to be a teenager." He said, "and here I am." Then it dawned on me.
"I'm going to be 16 forever." I said in wonder.
"Yeah, you are an odd one. Your body didn't wait for your 170th year to quit aging, it was quite weird, it even scared mom and dad at first, but they decided that that was how things would be, and they'd take it." He scowled. "They didn't put too much worry into it, but you've always gotten sick…been sicker than the others. I keep telling them something's wrong but they don't want to hear it." He said looking away.
I decided to take the conversation back into my hands.
"And Zane, how old is he?" I asked excited, I wanted to know if I was older than him or not, not that it mattered.
"You mean you don't know?" he asked looked at me shocked.
"Know what?" I asked concerned.
"That Zane is-"
"That's enough Q&A for one day." A voice called from the door. I looked up and dropped Kyran's hand. It was my dad.
"Uh…dad…hi." I said jumping from the bed and giving him a hug.
"I'm glad to see that you are feeling better." He said hugging me back. Then he held me at an arms distance and seemed to be appraising me, studying me.
"You mother is looking for you." He said to me with soft eyes. Then his gaze shot up over my shoulder to Kyran. "You best not keep her waiting, sweetie." He said then stepped aside to let me out of the room.
I glanced back at Kyran when I left the room, but his eyes seemed to be on dad who was standing by the door out of my line of sight, that's when the door to the room shut.
Right, I have to go find mom.
HOPE YOU LIKED IT, AND I HOPE YOU ARE CONFUSED AND UNSURE ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED. BECAUSE ONLY I KNOW!!
MUAHAHA!
Love
Me.
