Chapter 2- Forbidden Love
He stand still listening the woman. At first he didn't believe her. He laughed hard. He joked about it. The serious looks around him were not enough to make him believe. After they understood that it wasn't going to be easy to make him believe Doclin decide that it was time to show him. «I want you to look at this wall» he said pointing the wall at their right. It was now that Aiden remarked that the wall was completely empty. «Now think. Think anything or anyone you want to see. Think a place. Think someone. You can even think an emotion. » He walked behind him and rest his hand on Aiden's shoulder. «Think» he whispered.
Aiden looked at the empty cream white wall and sighed. He didn't want to play this game. But he didn't had any choice so he did it. He closed his eyes and thought about Emily, about Amanda. His Amanda. He thought her smile. He thought her beautiful eyes. He thought the way her hair fell on her face. He thought the way she made him feel. The love he was feeling. The love that was burning inside him. When he opened his eyes he felt his breath stops. The wall wasn't there anymore. Instead there was Emily's home. Emily's bedroom.
« Aiden...Dedicated himself to your cause because he loved you. And not even you could've stopped him.» Nolan was sitting on Emily's bed and his voice was full of pain. Aiden felt tears roll down on his face. «No… no… no…» He whispered and started walking backwards. «This is my fault. » Emily's cracked voice ripped his heart out of his chest. «NO! » He shouted and wrapped his arms around his head. «For most of his life, he felt broken, but... That all changed when he met you. You were the reason for him to live, Ems. » Aiden swallowed hard. Tears. Pain. Fear. Fear not for him. Not for his life. Fear for Emily. Fear for her life. Fear for her happiness. That's all he could feel. «Now I've lost mine. » His knees gone weak. He fell on the floor and looked in Emily's eyes. He had lost her.
A gentle knock on his bedroom door pulled him out of the Mirror Portal. The door opened and Ryan walked into his room. The young boy was carrying clean clothes. «You have to get over it dude. Everybody dies someday» He said while he dispose the clothes on the bed. Aiden looked at him with anger. «I am not feeling sorry for being dead» He turned his eyes back to the Mirror Portal. Emily was sitting at her living room talking with Nolan. « Really? Cause all I see is a huge dude sitting in his bedroom stalking his pretty much alive friends. You have to start doing your job dude. » The boy sat on Aiden's bed and looked at the Portal. «Who's the chick? » He asked. Aiden broke the connection with Emily and let the wall turn back to cream white. «Has anyone ever told you that you are annoying? » He grabbed the kid of his arm and drew him out of the room. «All the time» Ryan said with a smirk on his face. «It's not something that you should be proud» He shouted to the young boy defeated.
He joined Ryan to the dinner room feeling everyone's eyes on his back. «You are the weirdo» Ryan explained between his laughs. Aiden knew that the other souls were not pleased by the way he was acting. «They think that your arrival here was a mistake» Ryan explained when they sat on their table. This time Ryan spoke quietly and with concern. «It's ok kid. I don't really care» he said and grabbed a slice of bread.
«You should Nukem»
« Nukem? »
« Yeah Duke Nukem. The great badass tough guy? The video game character? »
« I am British» He took another bite and looked around him. «Why should I care Ryan? » He asked as he leaned closer to the boy.
« Because souls don't just lose their way idiot. There is a reason you are here and you better find out why. You are here. Do something. Stop stalking your humans. Stop torturing yourself before they decide to change the laws. »
«Change the laws? »
«Look you have powers yes. I have powers. We all here have powers because we are dead. But there are laws for us too. And there are souls that are responsible for these laws. You have powers but these souls are far more powerful than you. You are a baby Nukem. Even I have more powers that you. Yeah you can cut me in pieces with your bear hands but I have stronger powers than you. And that's because I am longer dead. That's because I am using my powers. Something that you don't do. »
«When did you actually died? »
«I am not gonna give you my life story»
«Yeah then stop messing with mine» He was ready to stand up when Ryan spoke again.
«Your life? You don't have a life anymore dude! You… What you are doing is looking at your humans. These humans have a life. You don't! » He was whispering but at the same time he was shouting to his stubborn friend.
«Amanda is my life. And Amanda has a life. So I have a life. And there is only one thing I was born to do. Protect and help Amanda. She is me. She is my soul. » He talked fast. The words slip his mouth before he realize it. He felt the anger and the pain growing again inside him. He stayed tensed for a moment looking the kid in silence.
«You are in love with her» The boy looked at him in pure shock.
Aiden didn't talked he looked at the kid like he was stupid.
«You are in love with her» The boy said again. There was admire in his eyes.
«We establish that. So leave me alone» He stood up but Ryan's hand stop him from walking away.
«Dude you can't be in love. Nobody here was ever in love. When you die your love dies. You love every human. But love is deferent than being in love. You can love. Love, the pure love is ok. You can love but you can't not BE in love. Souls lose that feeling. You lose that feeling when you die. You lose that feeling when you stop being a human. You lose that feeling because you have a purpose. Your purpose is to protect humanity. When you die you froze. Look at me. I have been dead far more than you and I am still 15 years old. Humans do not froze. Humans keep living. You lose the ability to be in love not only for their protection but for your own protection too. That's what they say. » There was a bitterness in his voice. «But you are in love. You are actually IN love. » His eyes were glowing. There was a small smile on his lips. « Whatever you may do don't late them find out. Don't let them take away what you are feeling. I would give anything in the world to feel it again. To be able to love Adrienne the way I used to. To be able to feel pain. I would die again if I could feel the way I used to. To be able to look at her the way you look at blondie. »
