A Psychologist's Day And Life
Chapter Thirteen: The Truth Behind Truths
After the little train ride we had (which was kind of cool, by the way) we got stuck walking all the way to San Francisco. Rosette, who was in a bad mood, led the way while the rest of us walked behind her. It was dead silence between all of us. Little did we know that our travel would get a bit more interesting and it all started when Amor made a comment.
Amor sighed, "this is like walking to school and back forever. This is the worst."
I had to agree. "True this is like walking to school forever." (A/N: We had to walk up a big hill that took 45 minutes so you can probably imagine.)
Chrono caught up with us. "Aren't you two happy? I mean, we're approaching your hometown."
"Yeah," we both said simultaneously.
Azmaria smiled, "you guys must be really happy! I'm sure that your friends will be glad to see you again." Rosette gave a grunt loud enough that we could hear.
Azmaria asked, "Rosette? Why don't you join in the conversation." She gave another grunt.
Amor then whispered to Azmaria. "It would be best not to have Rosette join the conversation seeing that we're using big words such as 'if' and 'the'."
Rosette stopped and before we knew it she was right in Amor's face. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?"
Amor smiled at her and asked, "why do you hate me?"
"WHY DO I? YOU'RE-"
"What?"
While Rosette was trying to choke the living hell out of Amor, Chrono and I looked at the map.
"Let's see..." Chrono murmured. "According to this, there should be a service area about a few miles from here."
"We're almost there, let's go!" Azmaria said excitedly.
"Is she always this cheerful?" I asked her. Azmaria walked proudly towards open unknown.
"Is she?"
Chrono gave a sigh. "I was trying to hide it from you guys." Just then, we heard something. Rosette took the time to hear the noise before choking Amor again.
"Rosette...choking me...help!" Amor said as he gasped for air. I broke up the two and we looked back. There was a car coming.
"A car, a car!" Rosette jumped.
"Yes that is a car, Rosette," Amor commented. "Thank you stating the obvious." Rosette glared at him. The car came nearer and nearer. We all yelled for the car and the car came...and went. As the car sped past us, we all knew that Rosette was cheesed. Then she grabbed Amor again.
"What I do, what I do?" Amor asked as Rosette was shaking him.
"You didn't yell enough, you idiot! That's why the car pasted us!"
"Oh, so it's my fault?"
"Yes!"
"B.S"
Rosette shook him harder, "what does B.S means!"
"Uh...Rosette?" Azmaria tugged on her arm. We all looked and saw the car backing up at a fast speed. It stopped right in front of Rosette's face and she fell over. Amor was rolling on the ground.
"Hahahahaha, the look on your face, priceless!" Rosette answered this by smacking him across the head.
Someone came out and our jaws dropped because the person who was in front of us was Satella.
"Satella!" Rosette yelled and pointed a finger at her. "What are you doing here!"
"I was on my way to San Francisco. The thought of a young girl stranded with a couple of savages just broke up my heart."
Rosette mumbled, "Yeah I bet you felt that you big breasted floozie."
"WHAT WAS THAT!" Satella questioned Rosette. As the two glared at each other, Chrono separated them.
"Now, now, settle down."
I had to agree with them. Every time these two met each other, it was a cat-fight. "Indeed. Don't scrap with each other over nothing."
Satella looked at me.
"Hmm...it's you and that twin of yours. I've bet you before, haven't I?"
Chrono sighed. "Bert and Amor. At the park."
Satella snapped her fingers, "Yes, yes, I remember now! You two are still hanging around here?"
"Lady we don't have a choice." Amor mumbled. "Mind if we catch a ride with you?" Everyone looked expectantly.
"I suppose..." Satella said. "However..."
"However?" Azmaria asked.
"However there are three to a seat plus one seat beside the driver. Two of you must sit on top of the roof."
After a few moments, Amor said, "What Rosette? You want to go on top of the car, okay!"
Rosette looked at Amor. "Who said that you can make decisions for me!"
"What? I never made a decision for you?"
"Yes you did! Just now!"
"You're being delusional."
"And you're being stupid!"
"I never made a decision for you!"
Chrono whispered in my ear. "What is your brother talking about? Even I heard what Amor said."
"Doublethink..." I mumbled.
"Double...what?"
"Doublethink. It's when you say something but also believe what is contradictory to that statement. Here's an example: Say that you do not believe in ghosts but also believe that ghosts exist."
"Where did you get such an idea?"
"I read it in a book once..."
We both looked at each other. Chrono and I grinned. We were all riding all right: with me, Azmaria, Chrono at the back and Satella at the front. I don't really need to tell you who got the top.
"WHY DO I HAVE TO BE STUCK WITH THIS IDIOT!" Rosette roared while the car was in motion. Amor gave a grin. "Come on, Rosette! This makes us special friends!"
Rosette gave a slap. "IDIOT!"
"Stop banging on my roof!" Satella yelled at the both of them.
"Why do you insist to annoy me!" Rosette yelled.
"Why are you a pain in the ass!" Amor yelled back. We all sighed and continued on our way. The car stopped and overlooked the city. We all came out of the car and Amor and Rosette jumped off.
"That was the worst car ride ever," Rosette said with a stretch.
Amor commented again, "Well rag-doll, it's all over."
"What did you call me?"
"Yeah, I called you rag-doll! Then what?"
Deciding that the two needed to be separated, Chrono stepped forward. "That's enough, you two. Stop it right now."
"Then tell Rosette to stop hating me!"
"Whatever," Rosette said as she made her way to the edge of the cliff. I looked at Chrono.
"Chrono?" I asked him. "Are you feeling alright?"
"Yeah," Chrono said. "Why do you ask?"
"Do you have any fevers? Headaches? Anything?"
Chrono thought about it. "Nope."
"Thanks..." Chrono shrugged and made his way to the others. Amor came to me.
"Chrono doesn't have a fever?"
"Chrono doesn't have a fever."
"What the hell is happening?"
"I don't know. We're like living an alternate timeline."
"Will it effect us getting home?"
"That I am not sure of." We both heard Rosette yell, "I'M GOING TO DO IT!"
"Still," Amor said, "Rosette is as delusional as ever."
"True."
Satella felt that we needed rest so we took up on her offer of us staying at her villa. I had to give Satella props as she lived in a cool pad.
"Nice place," I complimented her.
"Miss Satella," Azmaria said excitedly, "you're place is like a palace!"
Satella blushed a little, "Well...yes... I supposed." As Satella laughed, Rosette made a comment. "Azmaria's amazing, already sucking up to the rich like that..."
I was tired. Seriously going through the desolate desert after a huge battle got me drained. "I'm tired."
Satella gave command to the driver/butler. "Steiner, would you show this man to his room."
"Yes mistress..." Steiner gave a bow and herded me up the stairs. After he showed me to his room I thanked him. I flopped on the bed after prepping myself for bed and was soon knocked out.
It was midnight. I knew because I looked at the clock followed by a knocking at the door. Amor was on the floor sleeping soundly. I dressed myself and answered the door. It was Rosette and she looked like she had cried.
"Shit. What's wrong Rosette, you look like hell."
"Come with me," she said in a sad tone. I nodded and followed her to the balcony. She took a deep breath and she began to speak.
"I called the San Francisco branch to complain about your brother but they said that they didn't know you. You two didn't exist at that branch and at the Order itself. You two lied to me...to us."
The ploy was up. I mean we were figured out. The only words that came out of my mouth were, "shit..."
"Who are you two? What are your real intentions?" She sounded real scared. "Are you with the Sinners? Are you with Aion?"
"Believe me, if we were with Aion I would have your body decapitated and kill your friends the moment I laid my eyes on you." I looked at her. "I would have took you of our origins and our intentions but the fact is that it is fictional in the eyes of the Order; having Remington being an exception."
"Who are you? I want an answer!"
"Ok...you want an answer, you deserve one." This is it. I didn't know how she was going to take the news. She wanted an answer, right?
"The fact that Amor and I being brothers are true. We come from a world in the very far future. Your friends, your family, your life has been made public and a source of entrainment to a number of people."
Rosette was shocked. "What...what do you..."
"You know about they draw cartoons in the papers? Now try imagining being sucked into the newspaper and interacting with that cartoon."
"And how is Remington..."
"He's the one who got us into this mess. He created some kind of device that got us here with the help of the Elder's resources."
Rosette blinked at me. I knew this was shocking to her and unbelievable because right after this she started laughing.
"Don't believe me? I'll tell you something that you don't even know. That nobody knows but me and my brother. I know the real reason why Joshua decided to leave you."
She looked at me furiously. "No..." she whispered. "NO! You don't know about me and Joshua!"
"Oh yeah? I can prove to you all the things I say are true and at the same time show you my true side of myself. The reason why Joshua left you..."
"No..."
"Is because..."
"Shut up...just please, shut up!"
"Is because of you."
"No...that's not true!"
"Ha! You wish. He was sick of you. You and your courage and determination. He always followed what you wanted. What's best for you and for you alone. He had enough. 'I could only look at the sky...not at the ground.' That's what he thought."
Rosette continued to listen to me. She didn't say a word.
"He wanted strength...he wanted power. When Remington and the Order didn't offered it, Aion offered power with Chrono's horns. He accepted it. It was due to Joshua's will and Joshua's will alone that created the mess you're in right now."
"That's enough," she whispered.
"What you're doing now will end in pain, suffering and above all will have done absolutely nothing..."
"I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!" she screamed and took out her gun, pointing it at my face. She was doing it again. I played on her emotions again and it was playing like fire...and I was about to get brunt.
"Funny," I said to her. "It's just like that time four years ago. When Joshua turned into a monster, you lost the ability to fight back."
The gun was shaking.
"If Joshua hadn't been with you, none of this wouldn't have happened. Such an unfortunate boy."
She put down her gun. Her voice was in a whisper. "Why do you torment me? Why do you torment me...just like Aion?"
"I told you I was going to show you my true side. On one side I am serious, critical, sometimes insightful. However on the other side I am a strict believer in my beliefs and can be very mean if someone contradicts them. The truth hurts, I know. The future sucks if it doesn't go your way. You claim to be all grown up about this, an adult. You are far from being one. You're afraid that someday you'll be forced to admit that all that time searching, sacrificing, praying, will be wasted effort."
Rosette was silent. She could only look at me with her tearful eyes.
"I am an ass. I am a jerk. In that sense, I am the same as Aion. I don't know what will happen now. It's okay that you tell the others. I don't care. All I care is how all of this will work out in the end. Remington knows of your fate and so does the two of us."
"What is my fate? What will happen to me?" Okay, now she sounded real scared.
"You are playing directly into Aion's hands. By the end of this week, you will be in his grasp. Do as we say and we'll see what will happen..."
I started to walk away. "I always wanted to tell you this. But then I thought about your feelings. However since truths seem to be flying out tonight I have this to say to you: you Christophers are out of your god-damn minds..."
I didn't feel proud saying that. That is my truth, after all. Seeing that nothing more could be said, I left with Rosette crying silently. As I retired off to sleep again, I thought of every swear word known to man and said them silently before finding myself off to sleep again. That lasted about five minutes when there was a loud knock at the door. I heard some mumbling.
"Tell him, the duke is here."
I knew who it was. We both knew. Amor awoke from his slumber.
"Who is it?" Amor asked. "What's happening."
"A lot of things," I said to him. "And the answer to your pervious question? It's DeFaux."
"Crap on a stick, I had a good dream."
"Yeah whatever. Just get dressed and let's go." I dressed up again and Amor also. When we arrived, there was already a scene.
A cliffie. So there you have it. I hope that the next chapter will be of interest. Please R&R.
