Chapter 7
"I need to know now, Alyssa." I said. She turned her head away. I turned it back. "Alyssa... tell me." she sighed heavily and gently pushed me back. Then walked over to my bureau and open the bottom draw. I watched her pull. Out the draw fully and reach into the empty space. I gasped as she pulled out the most beautiful journal I had ever seen. She handed it to me and left the room with out a word.
I sat down on my bed. Just staring at the book. Somewhat in shock. I set the journal down and changed quietly. Still staring at the look as I did so. I didn't understand why she had given me this. Maybe I would under stand once I read it. But then again maybe you shouldn't read it.
I dropped my ripped dress. No this can't be happening to me again. You stopped talking to me. You were only there to bring me here. I thought frantically. Who told you that one of your little friends? Or did you make that up all by yourself. I could feel the evil surging through its whispers.
I shook my head and walked over to my bed and sat down. Attempting to ignore it again. This time it seemed to work. I sighed in utter relief. Then looked once more at the journal. I ran my finger down its black spine. It seemed so perfect. It killed me not to read it almost. I quickly opened it.
The writing was sloppy. It looked like something a male would write. I suddenly knew why she had given it to me. This had belonged to my father. He had left for me. I began to read.
My journal,
I have a delma. There is this girl who lights up my life. But I can go nowhere near her. The queen will have a fit. She is so young and lovely. Who's so new in my life. I don't want to let her go. But I know I must I hate to do so. And I wish that one day she would be able to understand my decision and forgive me. I hope that the both of them will. Well I must go. Please forgive my short entree`. But I must go.
I turned the page fiercely. That's why he had left. He had been cheating on my mother. He had been sleeping around on her like some horny dog. Well that's kind of judgmental now isn't it? The voice was back but I was in no mood for it right now. Fuck off. You figment of my imagination! I thought with rage. Ohhh, Naughty language for an angel. It teased me. I once more went back to ignoring the voice completely, and began to read again.
Dear darling daughter Kayana,
I blinked like a thunderstruck deer. He was addressing me in this entree`. Maybe he would have the nerve to explain himself about the last entree`.
I know you are wondering whom I was speaking of in the last entree`, and you probably believe that I was cheating on your mother, but believe me I wasn't. I was speaking of you. I would never hurt your mother in such a way, but I detest telling you that I haven't been the best the most wonderful person to her yet and still. She has forbid me to see or talk to you. So I leave this to so I can give me a chance to see you once she is gone. I hate to put it such a way. But I know that's it's the only way I'll see you ever. So I leave you this necklace and vile. You will need the necklace for a certain reason later. The vile is for you to drink. Once you do you will know to go and what to do. Do tell Alyssa and Ellis I said hello. I must go now. But if you ever wish to see me, now you know what to do. Remember I do care about you and will try my best to take of you always. Goodbye my dear.
I wiped the tears form my eyes. I had been wrong. It wasn't a shock. I had to meet him and I knew that I couldn't go alone. There was no way I could. Alyssa would never let me hear the end of it, but I still had to meet him. I flipped to the back of the book. There was the vile, and necklace I was supposed to put on. I slipped it over my head with ease. I was surprised that it fit so well. I then picked up the vile. I stared at it for a moment. I knew the moment I drank this nothing was going to stop me form finding my father. Was I really ready to risk my life to find so one who hadn't been there for so long?
HELL YES! I took the gap off of it. Drinking it in two gulps. My mind rushed. The room seemed to spin, and then go suddenly still. I stood up. Then reached in the empty space that Alyssa had pulled the journal from. I felt a bag of some sort. I pulled it out. It was a bag. An old looking bag. Maybe 10 or 15 years old. I opened it. Pouring out the contents on my bed.
There were daggers, spices what looked to be some bottles of medicines. And other things that would help me on my long journey. I put them back in the bag carefully, and stuffed the daggers inside my boots. Boots? When did I put boots on? What did it matter? I had something to do now. I packed a small bit of clothing. I never knew that an angel had so much rough backing clothing oh well that was fine with me.
I swung the bag over my shoulder and walked down stairs. Seeing Alyssa and Ellis already standing there with bags on there own shoulders. "How did you know that we was leaving?" I asked confused.
"Telepathy is a wonderful thing don't you think?" Alyssa said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes.
"Where's Darin?" they shrugged. No clue. He disappeared once we left you and Alyssa alone. That was Ellis doing it that time. "That's wonderful. Well we can't waste time searching for him, but were going to need a fourth person. That way if we have to split up. It will be in pairs most likely." they nodded. But where are you going to find someone to go with us. I looked around. Then noticed 'him walking towards me. He stopped a few feet from me, and bowed. I preferred he didn't but I was in no mood to argue. So I just rolled my eyes again and got moving. "That's our 4th person in case you haven't noticed by the way. I said opening the door. I looked down. It suddenly seemed so beautiful and daring. I just jumped. Felling the air rush around me this time I wasn't afraid, and as I felt myself begin to slow I opened my eyes and looked to my sides to find Alyssa, Ellis and the guy doing the same, and I didn't even have to look at 'him'.
The moment we touched the ground I rounded on 'him'. He didn't even step back. He just stayed still. Looking at me with certain calmness. I looked him up and down. Then cleared my throat. "Look. If we're going to be traveling together I have to have something to call you, and your probably going to have to speak from time to time. Don't you think?" I said.
"Maybe he can't talk." Ellis said. Or use telepathy either. I turned my head. "Well I tried. Complete blank." He said. "I never encountered anything like that before though."
"You know I think he can talk just fine." I said turning back to 'him'. " I just think that he doesn't want to. But he's going to have to if he plans on coming along." I said with smirk. Then turned to Alyssa. I was about to ask her something when 'he' said.
"You make it sound as though you're going on vacation." He replied.
