The Hierophant-

More Than Meets the Eye

Chapter 8

"..." talking

'...' thinking

Jana blinked and then blinked, then slowly everything sank in, she just saw Kamila kill a group of guys using her 'powers'. Her eyes shown fear as panic rose in her heart, her mouth opened for a scream.

Kamila looked at her expression and she frowned. 'She's going to scream.'

With a snap of her fingers, just before Jana's scream left her mouth, they were gone from the backyard. In a blink of an eye, the two girls are now in Jana's room. Kamila's outfit is gone, instead it's replaced with a black night gown.

Just at that moment, Jana's piercing scream left her mouth and woke everyone up, Kamila just stood there, then after a while, she opened up Jana's room door and a worried look appeared in her eyes.

"Jana, are you okay?" Kamila asked just as the others entered her room.

"Kamila, Jana, are you guys all right?" Tyson asked first, out of breath.

Kamila turned towards the others, but kept a look on Jana. "I don't know, I heard her scream, so I came in."

"Liar!" Jana shouted, everyone's eyes turned on her. "She's a witch! I just saw her kill a group of guys in the backyard!"

Kamila looked down but didn't say anything, the darkness hiding her eyes. Max glanced at Kamila and then took a step towards Jana.

"Come on Jana, that can't be true. Kamila couldn't even harm a fly." He said nervously.

"If you saw her in the backyard killing people, then why did you have to wait until you're back in your room to scream?" Kai asked calmly, annoyed.

"I... she... she teleported us back here before I could scream in the backyard." Jana said, stuttering, realizing how lame it sounds.

"Jana... that's just scientifically impossible." Kenny said, pushing up his glasses.

Ray looked at her then looked at Kamila, whom remained silent during this whole thing, he frowned, and then directed a question at her.

"No offense, but how did you get here before us? Your room is on the third floor."

Kamila looked at him calmly, she's already thought of a answer. "I was just walking upstairs from checking up on Diego, just as I stepped on the second floor, I heard Jana scream, so I just ran in."

Ray nodded slowly, a reasonable answer, there's nothing wrong with that. However, Jana's looking at her with disbelief and fear in her eyes, she can't believe what she just saw, but can't ignore the fact that she killed a group of men without breaking a sweat either. She really is the witch, why can't you see?

"Why can't you all see that she's the witch! Look at her! The way she dresses, the way she talks, the way she looks! And that panther of hers, she's the witch!" Jana shrieked, backing away onto her bed, shivering from head to toe.

"Jana..."

No one knew what to say, Kamila just looked at her. Jana was the only one that actually talked to her in such a long time, and even though she never showed it, but she's really grateful for it. She never wanted to hurt them in any way, instead, she wanted to protect them the best that she can, using her powers. Or else why would she even bother saving them from the bear in the forest, risking her own life for Kai.

With that thought in mind, she glanced at Kai, whom is just looking at her with no emotion what-so-ever. She raised a bitter smile, this is just great. His fiancee is scared to death... because of her, the chances of him returning her feelings had already been thrown down a well by herself. She took in a deep breath and sighed, running a hand through her long hair she looked around the room.

"I think... I should just go back now. Good night."

With that, she turned and slowly walked out of the door, no one stopped her.

Her quiet footsteps sounded out in the hall way, this house's sound barrier is excellent, you can't really hear anything at all. Even Jana's scream came muffled as well, but they're always alert, watching out for anything that might go wrong.

As Kamila walked further away from them, suddenly, Kai turned and followed her out. Ray looked at him surprised, but didn't say anything else. He returned his attention to a now shivering Jana, curling herself on the bed in a ball. Seriously, somehow Ray actually believes Jana, Kamila seems so inhuman, there's definitely something off about her, but what is it?

With a sigh, he turned and looked out at the hall way again, they have disappeared. Why did Kai go after her? What's their... relationship with each other?

Ray frowned, not understanding why Kai would actually like her. Kamila's features appeared in his mind again, suddenly his eyes widened. Her eyes, they're lavender. Kai must sees Aurora in them, that's why he.....

[Hallway]

Kamila walked out of Jana's room slowly, and as slowly, she walked towards the staircase that leads up to the third level. She sighed and stopped, her eyes sting, tears are coming out. Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her, without giving her a chance to turn around, that person grabbed her arm roughly and just opened up a bedroom door then shoved her in.

She stumbled into the room and caught her balance, swirling around, she came face to face with Kai, whom just shut the door behind him and slowly locked it. She looked at him then noticed the action, then looked back at him again. Reaching up a hand, he flicked on the light, not a main one, just a night light, a dim light shone the room, giving it a warm glow.

She looked down, not wanting him to see the tears, then she noticed his feet moving, slowly, towards her. She looked up and watched as he drew near, unconsciously, she stepped back slowly, matching his pace, starring straight into his eyes. Soon, she stopped as she hit the foot of the bed and just looked at him, whom walked closer and closer.

She looked at him, they didn't say anything, he stopped a few inches away from her, their bodies just touching. She looked around, not looking at him, waiting for him to start.

"Why don't you tell me the truth?"

Kamila turned to him, but only left her gaze on his chin.

"If what you said was true, then I would have at least seen you running into her room, or heard your footsteps, but I found nothing. Just... how did you get to her room?"

"Are you implying that I'm the witch from 1000 years ago?"

"I'm just asking you a questions, I'm not implying anything, why can't you just answer directly?"

"Kai....."

"Are you like what they said? Evil and have no emotion at all? You can kill people without even blinking your eyes, you're used to it. You have to kill in order to live? Are you like that?" Kai's deep voice rang out again and again, throwing questions at her again and again.

Kamila blinked, tears on the edge of her eyes. Why does everyone have to be this way, she's done nothing wrong. She only wanted to protect them, don't they know that if those guys found out anything, no matter who lives in this house, they won't be able to get away with the accusation either. The people in this town are just like this, they don't reason with you, it's majority rules out minority.

"Answer me! Are you like that?" Kai asked again, pressing further.

"No! No! I'm not! Stop saying that!" Kamila raised her head and her voice, looking into Kai's eyes, breathing hard. The tears that she fought so long to keep back finally rolled down. Kai's expression stayed the same, although his eyes softened, she just closed her eyes without saying anything else.

"Why did you kill them?"

"It's either them or us... I frankly don't care about anyone else, but I can't let you die." She said softly.

"Will you kill me too? Since now I know your secret." He asked softly, matching her own voice.

She tensed for a second, she then opened her eyes and looked at him. Placing a hand his chest, she stepped closer to him, closing the small gap between them. She raised her eyes, they were full with sadness but also with the love that she bears for him.

"I will never kill you, no matter what you do to me." She said, marking down her promise forever.... perhaps the only promise that will destroy herself later on.

He looked down at her eyes, they were so sad, Aurora. Where is she? Kamila leaned up and touched his lips with her, she closed her eyes and he closed his as well. Slowly, she deepened the kiss, a whisper left Kai's mouth.

"Aurora...."

Kamila tensed, she opened her eyes, his eyes are still closed. Her mouth left his, she placed her hands on the sides of his face and he opened his eyes to look at her.

"Kai... I don't care who's in your heart, but can you just spare me this one night? I just need tonight. Look at me, I'm Kamila... Kamila... Kamila...."

"Kamila..." Kai whispered.

She gave him a thin smile and then kissed him again, this time, full with passion. Without a hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her upwards a bit, pulling her close to him.

Kamila wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and leaned deeper into the kiss. She only needs tonight, she only has tonight. Without a second throught, her hands travelled down his arms and travelled down her own body. Stopping on the bottom of her shirt, she gathered enough mental strength and pulled it over her head, breaking their contact.

Shaking her head, letting her hair fly, she threw the shirt down onto the ground carelessly. Then tugging him by his shirt, she fell back onto the bed, and dragged him down with her. Their lips fround each other again.......

[Later]

Kamila opened her eyes and looked besides her, Kai's lying there, sleeping deeply. She laid on his chest, his left arm around her waist, she laid there in silence, just feeling his breathings. Picking up her head, she left a soft kiss on his chin. Then with one arm propped up, she sat herself up as well, wrapping the sheet around her body.

Slowly, she placed her left hand on his chest, over his heart. The nail on her pointer finger grew longer, she looked at him and then looked down at his chest again. Slowly, she dug her nail into his heart and crossed down, then she took her hand away, watching the blood flood out.

'Do I really love him?'

'Yes I do.'

She watched as the blood stopped and the cut healed, leaving only a scar behind. She sighed softly, what Thgil said really did come true, she's in love whim him, that's why she can't kill him. Bending down, she kissed the scar on his chest and wiped away the tears that rolled down her cheeks....

[Next Morning]

Kai groaned as the sunlight hit his face, bringing up an arm, he blocked the sun. Then suddenly, he remembered something, looking beside him, he saw the blood stain on the bed. The sign of her virginity, gaven to him..... if only he can tell her truthfully that his heart was with him last night, but he can't, because his heart wasn't anywhere near here last night.

Looking around the sun lit room, he's the only one lying on the bed, she's already gone....

TBC....
