Secrets and Lies*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
I don't think that I can remember what happened...
But the thing that I do remember,
Is that I was staring, just staring into these...
Beautiful, crimson ruby orbs.
I also remember forcing myself to keep on staring into his endless gaze.
Why? I don't quite know, but I do know that I just couldn't seem to stop myself from entering his emotionless stare.
You see, Its the emotionless type that I hate, why? because you can't expect anything from nothing am I right?
Anyways then I remember everything suddenly fading away into a fierce black, until there was nothing left to conceal it.
Then that's where this loop hole kind of started off...
I slowly began to force my eyes open, unsure of my surroundings.
I then felt this calming warmth, radiating off of something, or someone...
Not knowing what to believe, I couldn't help but to forget about who the thing was, who for one, was caressing my hair, in long thin strokes, and for two, was humming a familiar tune, and for the last of all, was holding me in their arms like a newborn baby.
Not sure of what to do I tried to clear the blurriness that was blocking my sight, and preventing me from having a clear view of my where abouts.
"Hey... quit moving so much..."a lazy voice sounded as I began to struggle to free my arms. but it was pretty much a effortless attempt, considering the following... I couldn't move, because my whole body felt numb, either from terror, or from relaxation... oddly enough, it felt good... I decided to go with whatever his name was' idea and relax for awhile longer...
I know that it may have been a stupid idea but I just haven't been able to find relief like this for awhile and I've been running around killing almost everything that I see for like the last few periods of time... And I was pretty worn out.
"Who are you?..." I asked, my eyes closed, as I tried to find the beat in the calming tune it was humming.
"You don't remember me?" It answered, sounding quite a bit shocked for something that is supposed to be heartless.
"Well... Have we ever met before? I mean you don't look familiar." I replied in a straightforward tone.
"I'm Carlos... Molachantalovv...remember?" He answered, mirroring my confused image.
"ummmm...Carlos? You really have to look in a mirror, because the Carlos that I know doesn't have eyes like that, never the less that kinda skin tone..."I countered in defiance as he refused to see what I meant.
Jeez... Why do some men have to be so stupid and blind to the facts that women tend to direct out...
Well, men... I'll never understand them...
He does seem to be the normal Carlos that I knew though...often prone to see the back and white side of things rather than in full color.
I only noticed that he wasn't pointing his full attention at me, when I noticed that totally awkward silence between us, and the fact that he was identifying himself with large red eyes, obviously from shock.
I immediately felt the calm and numb feeling leave my body, and hopped up to my feet, wobbly but hey, at least I am not sitting on the cold ground.
Okay, well maybe it wasn't that cold...
once I gained control of my weak legs, I noticed that Carlos wasn't there, I ran to the door frame and seen the white light of the washroom lamps turn on.
I rushed to the room and stopped in my tracks at the totally cute sight that I may ever see in my life.
Carlos was hunched over the sink, staring at his pale form in the mirror, while trying to fix the strands of hair that were out of place.
Honestly, he looked like a girl trying to get ready last minute before her date arrived.
He then adverted his gaze to me, eyes full of shock and confusion.
"H-How did this happen?" he asked, voice trembling with utter disbelief.
I looked at him, eyes moving from left to right as I tried desperately tried to search and find an easy way to explain myself, and the crazy events that took place not to long ago.
He rested a hand on my shoulder, and stared at me with a look of seriousness.
"Querida... you need to tell me what exactly happened when I passed out in the room, and where the hell is Indigo?" he answered, his tone serious and leaking with curiosity.
I felt that I couldn't lie to him when he put that face on, and I felt that I had to protect these two from any harm...why are my emotions so difficult to understand?
"Carlos...would you believe me when I said that what ever happened, I'm not sure why but, I think that you were infected with something by that thing that attacked us yesterday... and since you were strong, I think that It's venom or toxins that it released," I paused for a breath of air. " might have fused with your DNA, and caused it to mutate, giving you what you have know... I suggest that you thank god for letting you live, and that you are not an infected monster, and rather this instead..." I finished, taking in deep breathes of air.
"Well at least it's not that bad right? I mean, your right, it could be a lot worst..." He answered, while outstretching his arm, palm facing me.
I walked up and took the hand...
I was just relieved that he believed me so fast, and the fact that he was alright... Thankfully.
He looked down at me, and smirked, leaving a joyful expression.
I had to admit though, that serious expression doesn't suit him very well.
"Well my little budgie... Lets go and check out where indigo is and then we'll continue our search okay." He replied, satisfied with my response to his actions.
I could never know where he came up with all of these embarrassing nicknames, but at least he's back.
I moved my hands around in his strong hold, His hands were so big compared to mine, which just made me feel so feminine.
His hands had a weak hold on mine as if he were afraid of breaking my seemingly delicate fingers.
I just strengthened my hold on his, I noticed that his hands were so soft, maybe some of the softest hands that I may ever feel in my life.
"So, are we gonna go know?" he asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"uh yeah, lets get going." I replied in a rushed tone.
We walked down the hallway, and down to the last door at the end.
I opened the door cautiously and walked in with Carlos following in behind me, still gripping my hand in his.
We felt both of our tension release intermediately as we seen that Indigo was still asleep in the huge bed, comfortably sprawled out across the soft material.
"Damn... Your brother sure is a heavy sleeper right Doki..." I spoke in shock, and yes, 'Doki' is the name that I came up with for him since he calls me 'Querida' and all that stuff like that.
I mean,how could he sleep through gunshots and screams... Its just strange and weird... Man I wish that I could sleep like that, then maybe I wouldn't be so alert like I normally am...
"Yep, when we were little, he was able t sleep through the annoying teachers loud lectures, and through the bell, that's why I had to wake him up and literally drag him out and in places."he replied with a proud look on his face.
"And he let you do it? Wow I am impressed." I answered in disbelief.
"Yeah, well, nobody else could... and you wouldn't want to know how I would wake him up anyways..." Carlos mumbled as his facial expression melted to one of nervousness.
"Well how, did you wake him up?" I answered with a glint of curiosity in my eyes.
He turned pale as that glint became more visible.
"Well I'll show you, just stand over there and wait..." He whispered as he slid over to the right side of the bed.
He stuck his hand out and let them hover over Indigo's arms, then he climbed on top of Indigo and began to shake him rapidly.
"WAFFLES!" Carlos yelled as he continued to to shake Indigo.
"Okay I'm Up I'm Up! Sheesh!" Yelled Indigo in panic as he shoved his older brother off him and hopped off of the bed.
I laughed my guts out at the sight of that...Carlos seemed to notice my reaction and smirked triumph as Indigo sent him a look of utter hatred and embarrassment.
"What the hell was that for-" Paused Indigo, staring confusingly at the sight of Carlos' new look.
"What?" Replied Carlos to the shocked response that Indigo gave him on his new appearance.
"W-What t-tthe hell...W-wwhat happened to you Carlos?" shrieked Indigo as he rushed to the nearest corner, scanning the room for anything to use as a weapon.
"Nothing... I just-" "Shut it creature! Your not my brother! Your nothing but a demon, who's taking on the form of my Brother!" Screamed Indigo from the top of his lungs while forming a cross with his fingers.
Carlos obviously was struck dead by the response that his brother gave.
His expression turned from happy, to hurt, and regretful... I couldn't help but shut Indigo up.
"Indigo! Shut the hell up will you! Your brother is trying to explain himself! yes he may be different! Yeah, hell he may even be a demon! But give him a chance to explain! Damn, your even lucky that he is still alive!We almost got torn apart by that Damn thing! It almost killed Carlos!" I shrieked in anger as I walked in long, impatient strides over to Carlos, and then put a hand on his gut.
"You see this? This is where that thing stabbed its claw into Carlos and infected him, Just chill out okay!" I yelled as tears began to form in my eyes.
He looked at me with his eye's filling up with regret and
shocked that I would be crying over something that had nothing to do with me.
"Don't cry..." Cooed Carlos as he raised a hand to my back and began to rub it, returning that feeling of relief and serenity.
I felt my body go numb once again, as my leg began to buckle and fall like a collapsing tower under pressure.
Carlos caught me in his arms and stared at me, a look of awe in his crimson eyes.
"I'm sorry... Please don't cry..."pleaded Indigo as he walked up to my form.
I couldn't move...
It felt like every time I tried to I would feel another part of my body go limp.
I just let the tears fall as my whole body felt like it was being thrown back into an endless abyss.
I actually welcomed that feeling of nothingness, because when I fall into that feeling, I just don't have to fight anymore.
I began to close my eyes and let the darkness override my sights once again.
