Disclaimer: if I owned would I be here? No. No profit either.
AN: Well it has only been a couple weeks... That doesn't that good. We are nearing the end of 'That Morning Feeling' and there will more than likely to be no more than one or two chapters. But who knows? I only saw four or five chapters when I first thought of it.
That Morning Feeling Chapter Nine
**************
Kel's POV
"Joren!'
Kel!"
"Father!"
"What?" what was he talking about?
"Sorry. I wasn't thinking."
"Obviously."
"Hey!"
"Sorry. But why would you think your Father was behind me?" why was everything so strange around me? I mean that whenever people are around me they act weirdly. Maybe it's the way I look at them.
"You just looked liked him for a moment."
She paused in thought. Was this a good thing or a bad thing? Knowing Joren it was a bad thing. But his Father was rather good looking. In an odd king of way. But a male kind of way too! Joren was going to suffer! She stepped forward ready to kill him (well not kill him but maim badly!).
Joren backed away further into the wall and felt the engravings press into his back.
My eyes go stronger! I am the ultimate one! Power over all. I reign supreme! "Ha ha ha ha ha!" I laugh evilly.
Joren eyes me nervously.
**************
Joren's POV
Noting her peculiar facial twitches, her eyes rolling madly, her lips mouthing something I couldn't discern. Not all at least. 'Power' and 'Supreme' are mentioned.
Her eyes catch mime.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
She is insane.
I watch her tilt her head back and swirl her head around in a wild way, I eye my exits. They are few. Two actually. We are in a middle of a hallway in an alcove. She would know where I was and even with a lead... she could make noise and I would be caught. People can be so selfish.
She stops laughing and leans forward until their noses are being grazed together by the other person. Our breathing intermingled. Mine breath quickened.
"Why are you acting so strange? Kel? Ever since this morning you have been acting so strange. I'm confused. I don't... I don't know how I feel about you. Everything has changed so quickly. The events have gone out of my hands and yours. Something is happening to us and I don't know what... it all changed this morning and I don't know why..."
She giggles breaking the tension that had held them. He felt slightly angry but suppressed it. It wasn't the right time to act with anger.
"You're cute Joren. Real cute!"
**************
Kel's POV
My head was ringing and strange thoughts were buzzing inside my head. They wanted me to be close to Joren. I'm dizzy. I can't seem to focus. My head swims and I feel darkness creeping into my vision. His face, his sweet face but rather stupid face fades in and out. In and out.
I feel his hands grip my upper arms, they are reassuring and I have a line to the world. To tie me down.
I come to awareness and I know. I know something has been done wrong. I've known since this morning but is was just a feeling and I dismissed it. I repressed it. Someone has been manipulating me... they have changed my feelings. I don't know if the ones I am feeling now are real or not. It is all so confusing.
"What's been down to me?" I say, poring into eyes for answers. Where his true emotions keep me from forgetting.
**************
Joren's POV
She stares at me. Her eyes slightly panicked and worried. I feel the same on some level. Her muscles tense and untense under my hands and as I begin to let go, she speaks, "What's been done to me? To us?" what does all this mean? What is happening?
Her eyes leave mine and she stares behind my shoulder her expression changes so quickly I can't decipher it. But one stays there and holds, surprise.
Her eyes close. She slumps into my arms her head resting against my shoulder. I hear her breath exhale loudly but gently. She is unconscious. What could have caused this?
I look behind me, wondering what could have caused this unusual reaction. There is nothing. But, that slight shimmer in the air. What could cause that?
The sudden increase of weight on my arm distracts me and I lift her up to my chest with compassion. I rest her against the wall. I stare at her face, her closed eyes. Her breathing is slower than usual; her lips are slightly parted. I see a glimpse of teeth.
I notice for the first time her freckles; they dot her pale nose and entreat on her faint pink cheeks.
**************
Kel's POV
I feel a headache coming on. Actually I already have a headache but I feel more pain coming along. That's bad. Great. I've reverted to baby talk. Wonderful.
I open my eyes, fluttering my eyelashes as my eyes get used to blinking. I shift my head. I'm sitting next to a wall but I can feel him hovering near me. He needs to bathe more. But then so do I. I haven't bathed more than thrice today! I'm feeling quite dirty.
"Kel are you all right?" his concerned voice reaches me. It seems distant.
I have to concentrate. I do. Otherwise something will happen. But what I don't know. Something is stopping it. Holding me back. Restraining me. I don't know who or why but they are doing it. And it makes me angry.
"Kel?" concentrate!
"I'm fine at least I think I'm feel fine now. I just feel overwhelmed. And like I said before, I'm not sure what is happening to me," there's something happening! I have to find out before I become a total fluff ball.
I shudder at the thought.
Next I would be simpering. Flicking my skirts. Oh the horror...
I breathe in, ready for new challenges and adventures. I have to finish this and soon before it happens.
****************
Joren's POV
Her eyes flash until slight anger, anger? Fear? Maybe both. Her mouth thins with determination and a slight snarl comes upon her lips. Her eyebrow arches and her forehead furrows in thought. If only I had a portrait painter. It's a portrait moment.
"Joren?" she asks me.
"Yes?" I answer.
"I need your help. It's very important that I find out what's happening to me. Who's doing this to me and why. I have to find this out so I can return to normal. To my life. This is what I ask of you."
If only she had said this a couple of weeks, no! Days ago I would have had so much fun at her expense. Ah, that would have been so much fun. But, I can't so that. I can't do that. I must. I shouldn't. But. It would be so much fun! NO!
The temptation is so great. And I wish to make fun of her so much it hurts. But I don't and I feel proud. She looks at me expectantly.
****************
Kel's POV
Why does it take so long? Is he such a slow thinker? Why doesn't he hurry up?
I was being rather impatient. But time was valued. No fluff brain thoughts! Next thing I would be wearing feathers! And not the nice plumes, oh no no, the ugly scratchy kind of ones.
"Ugh," not the answer I was looking for. But... Hey I could interpret that any way I wanted. I smiled.
"Great! I knew I could count on you Joren, you being so brave and all," no sucking up at all. Now he has to join.
His face was struggling to keep itself under control. But various emotions filtered past his face. Confusion. Surprise. Smugness. And then the final one stayed. Fear. Not fear about what is to come, not in that sense, she thought. But in the way he would look if he refused. A coward. A weakling. A yellow-bellied no good rat catcher. Goddess knows where I got that one. Males are all the same.
"Yes, I'm brave and only I can help you. You should be very thankful that I'm doing this, you know," ah the pompous male routine. I've heard it so many times. A very old one indeed.
"Sure, sure, whatever. Let's begin," I point in a random direction, the other hand on my hip a courageous expression on her face.
"What exactly are we doing?" Good question. Wish I knew the answer.
****************
Joren's POV
She had a rather silly expression on her face and her pose looked quite stupid. Who was she trying to fool? Me? No way! I am so smart. I am so brave.
"What exactly are we doing?" a straightforward question. Do they exist? I suppose they do. But it is usually the answer not the question.
"Um... well I think magic is involved or something similar to that..."
I was just thing, what was something just similar to magic? Seemed I voiced this question out loud. Funny how you do that.
"I'm. I'm not sure... but it could be dangerous! I'll need help I think..."
She isn't acting normally. To my consternation I had once again voiced this out loud.
"That's why I need some help. Magical help. To fix me..."
So many different meanings could be taken from that sentence. Few of them good. Did she really mean that? If she did, she needs more help more help than she thinks. Way more help. Someone should help her with the twitches too of course.
They were down right creepy.
And her eyebrows went off!
****************
Kel's POV
His face was twisted in one of the strangest expressions I had ever seen. It was also looking at me quite oddly. Why would it do that? I thought over the last thing I had said when his expression had changed. Fix myself. Oh. Well that explains it. Didn't know he was into that sort of thing too. Better invite him over some time. I struggled not to laugh and my face twitched.
It was nearly too much. My eyebrows moved. I burst out laughing. Heavy laughter. I believe it is called guffaws. Or something like that. Strange word.
I stopped laughing. There was a snap and my mind felt looser. It was as it someone had released a band on my forehead. Some internal pressure was free! I was free! I felt like floating! I gave a little boost of my feet. It was a good attempt but for some reason unknown to me I didn't fly (I also wanted to fly!). Damn it. I have always wanted to fly. It looked so much fun. So effortlessly gliding through the air. Birds are so lucky. I wish I were a bird.
I tried once again but instead of flying up I felt a very heavy weight press upon me. It was extremely heavy. It help either that I had an elbow in my gut and the other elbow in my throat. I couldn't breathe much. Woozy woozy woozy. The legs pinning me down.
I groaned. Or at least let out an expulsion in a very wheezy way. It didn't sound healthy.
The weight began to lessen...
