Purgatory- Chapter Eight- Key toMy Past Part I
~~Two Weeks Later, West Mecklenburg High School, Blaise's P.O.V. ~~
“I have to go. Bye Chris, bye Malak.” I waved off to my friends when I heard the bell ring. For some odd reason I felt as if all of the guards were watching me. Maria and Malak were my two best friends.
Malak was mute. Chris told me it had to do with a bad past or something like that. I walked on to my bus and saw that every guard was looking my way. Then something that Chris told me rang a bell in my head.
“Guards are starting to be suspicious of humans too.” I felt like she was trying to tell me something, but I couldn't quite place it. I waved off the feeling and got on my bus.
I saw that the two new students in my classes were on my bus. They seemed nice but the one that caught my interest was Rey. Martina was a nice girl but she seemed too meek. They were brother and sister.
I had the luck to be Rey's partner. I'm supposed to go to their house to work on the project on Friday. Their mother was supposed to be a very stern person and wouldn't allow them over to other peoples' homes.
“Hey Blaise, you sure you want to meet my mother? She hasn't taken well to people since our dad died.” This whole time I hadn't noticed that they were sitting behind me.
When I turned around, I noticed that Martina was asleep. “I'll survive, with all the different foster homes I've been placed in, I know what and what not to do around certain parents.” He shrugged.
“My mother is a one of a kind person. I have to go; Sis, let's go.” He woke up his sister, she waved to me and they left.
~~Calyx's House, Rai's P.O.V.~~
“Hey Sis, we're home” I was feeling a bit awkward. I saw every single one of Blaise's thoughts as we were on the bus.
“Hey, is there any new info on Blaise?” Fatin shook her head `no.' Calyx looked at me awaiting an answer.
“Umm… He's depressed, I think…” Calyx rolled her eyes at me.
“Aren't we all. So, does anyone suspect you two of not being Rey and Martina?” Fatin and I shook our heads.
“So how does it feel to be a 36 year-old mother of twin teens?” I just wanted to annoy her about the fact that she had to handle paper work at home. She never answered but I could've sworn that I saw an eyebrow twitch.
“Don't you all have to go to the auditorium next week for something?” I heard Fatin mutter a “Yeah,” from the couch.
“There's going to be a guardian fight that day. Make sure that Blaise is there.” I guess it was about time we put the plan into action.
“I haven't kidnapped anyone since I was ten. Let's see if I haven't lost my touch.” I knew Calyx wasn't joking. I know who she kidnapped: And I must say, father wasn't too happy when he heard that Rei was kidnapped.
After Calyx finished her paperwork on the computer and printed it, I got in a private chat room and invited Blaise into it. I noted that Calyx was behind me the whole time.
Chat Room: Monkey Business
<<JustTrust433712>> has entered the room.
<<Blaising_Baby_Boi_16>> has entered the room.
<<JustTrust433712>> Hey man, how u doin?
<<Blaising_Baby_Boi_16>> Not bad, just got home. u?
<<JustTrust433712>> bored outta ma mind. Mom's being a bitch again.
Just for that Calyx hit me over the head.
<<Blaising_Baby_Boi_16>> That must suck. When's the best time to meet up at your house 4 that project on Friday?
<<JustTrust433712>> Right after school is the best time. That's when my mother is actually somewhat nice…
<<Blaising_Baby_Boi_16>> lol… She can't be all THAT bad.
<<JustTrust433712>> Do as my sn says Just Trust me….
<<Blaising_Baby_Boi_16>> What do the #'s stand 4?
<<JustTrust433712>> I heard about a really strong experiment that broke loose from his Hell failed a few times but finally made it through. That was his experiment #.
<<Blaising_Baby_Boi_16>> oh… Anywho what's ur mom's name so I can leave a good impression?
I looked over to Calyx considering she has so many names and fake personas. She reached over my shoulder and typed in:
<<JustTrust433712>> Gabrielle Knite
<<Blaising_Baby_Boi_16>> What are u guys, Italian or something?
<<JustTrust433712>> U can call us a mutt family so to speak…
<<Blaising_Baby_Boi_16>> Kk g2g mom needs the computer. See ya 2morrow.
<<Blaising_Baby_Boi_16>> has left the room.
<<JustTrust433712>> Has left the room.
I looked over to my sister. “I never heard anyone call you by that name before.” She went back to her regular work.
“You never heard it because it was never used except for two sheets of paper.” I gave her the `yeah right' look.
“It's on my birth certificate and on my death certificate. My full name is Calyx Gabrielle De La Luna Knite; just like your name is Rai Sebastian De La Luna, and Rei is Rei Kali De La Luna.”
I was surprised to say the least. Rei and I were never told that we had middle names. As far as the law was concerned, our names were our experiment numbers: 433711 (Rei,) 433712 (Me,) and 433713 (Calyx.)
She left me sitting there with a confused face and went over to make out with Fatin on the couch. “That's something I don't need to see. You need to rent a motel room or at least do it when I'm not around.”
From my response those two only got worse. I didn't need to see my sister get off with a girl whom I see as a sister so, I got up grabbed the keys and went for a drive.
I found an empty parking lot and decided that it was the best place to sit and think. I put on some music and leaned my chair back. I thought about everything that had happened in my life. I thought about the day I was born, when my parents were forced to split up because of the war, my training, my stay at Mina's house, to the day I was reunited with my Calyx.
I just thought about random memories when I thought about when I first attended schools in the area. They seemed like an average annoying human schools.
I met all my teachers and they all seemed to be nice, but something in the school seemed out of place. The security guards seemed paranoid and the guardian security seemed like they had it in for us.
By law no schools were supposed to segregate the demons and witches from other students, but they were able to question and deny legal Lucifers. The guardian security were all enemies. They had Beings and hunters along with the human guardians themselves. It was a claim saying that they were having a peaceful war.
`Bullshit.'
A peaceful war: in the way they're spoken, they're nothing more than an oxymoron to my ears.
The government and Universal alliances knew that behind the eyes of society that the guardian fights in schools, stadiums, and arena were mere battles that together form the war.
The people that come to fight are trained officers meant to collect the keys. Eight keys opened the final armory in the hangar of Aviation High School Academy in New York City.
`Sad isn't it? This entire war being a lie; it was just a stupid race that left hundreds of casualties behind.'
Whoever won the race would be ruler, king, queen, pharaoh, or whatever the hell you want to call it, of pretty much the whole planet. The world was a sad place, and no pity could show it mercy.
I thought back to how the security seemed to follow Blaise. I knew that they were on to him but the guy doesn't even know that he's a Lucifer. I had a sort of feeling for him that I was trying to comprehend when I first met him. I wasn't completely sure but if I wasn't mistaken, I had a crush on Blaise.
I, like my sister made no discrimination about gender. So yeah, I was just as bisexual as Calyx.
In my opinion Calyx tended to lead more towards the lesbian side because she's had three relationships that I know of, and two of them were women. I began to think back to when I was on the bus earlier.
Flashback
I sat behind him. I was roaming around his memories and then reached into what he was currently thinking of. I must've had a big blush on my face when I saw was he was thinking about.
He was thinking about me—or rather Rey. This was where I was supposed to exit his thoughts but it seemed like my mind was glued to his and I needed to find out what he thought about me.
Out of nowhere, I hear Fatin's voice in my head. `Get out of the guy's head because whatever he's thinking about is making you pants look like they're a tighter fit that they were.'
I looked down to see what she was talking about and mouthed out, “oh shit.”
I grabbed my jacket and put it over my lap hoping that no one else saw my little `problem.' It looked safe so I relaxed in my seat a little.
A moment later, I heard Fatin in my head again. `Make conversation with him. Maybe that'll get you're mind out of his, and he can keep whatever perverted thoughts to himself.'
I followed her directions seeing that if I didn't I would have to deal with the evil known as my sister. “Hey Blaise, you sure you want to meet my mother? She hasn't taken well to people since our dad died.”
I blurted out the first thought in my head, which happened to be Calyx. I knew that Fatin was faking sleep because I heard her giggle in my mind.
“I'll survive, with all the different foster homes I've been placed in, I know what and what not to do around certain parents.” It was a sad reason if you thought about it. I've moved a lot in my life, but I always had the stability of being around the same people. He wasn't even spared that choice. I noticed that we were finally approaching our stop.
“My mother is a one of a kind person. I have to go; Sis, let's go.”
End Flashback
I sat in the car contemplating my feelings for the guy that I've known for two weeks but have known about for about a month or so. I began playing with the lighter that was in the car. I began playing with the small flame that it emitted.
I wasn't allowed to use my powers according to Sis, but Sis wasn't here to boss me around. She was too busy fucking her girlfriend. I made the flames make small loop shapes and made it into corkscrews and then wrote my name in script with the flame. I saw the time and decided to head home.
I saw that Lucas was home. He was finally allowed in the house again. It turned out that Lucas was drunk on that eventful night and took Fatin against her will.
Calyx said that he was on probation and had to stay home under her watch. After about a week Calyx got sick of looking at Lucas' face. She forced him to get a job so he was out of the house more than in anymore.
~~Inside The House Calyx's P.O.V.~~
I was making dinner for everyone and thinking about the events that needed to take place within the next few weeks. This morning I noticed that Fatin was struggling to get her pants. She may have not noticed yet but I noticed that she had an extra inch around the lower portion of her waist. I had to work quickly to kidnap Blaise from the school before she began to show.
I registered them as witches in the school. I managed to avoid Maria for the most part. I hadn't seen Maria since that night.
I knew that she felt betrayed. I felt guilty for what I did but I felt even guiltier for what I had done behind Fatin's back.
I heard the door click and realized that Rai must've been home. When I saw him, I dropped the whisk in my hands. “Rai Sebastian De La Luna, what in the hell?” He stood there for a moment trying to figure out what I was talking about.
“You were using your powers, weren't you?” He tried the clueless innocent face. “Look in the mirror and tell me what color your hair is.” I saw the color drain from his face.
“Go upstairs and dye your hair right now.” The house was silent for a while. No one dared to question my authority.
Lucas was the first one to say something, “When will we move to the house in the Appalachian mountains?”
I picked up and cleaned the whisk as he spoke. “Next Wednesday night.” I knew it was a sudden move but Fatin was beginning to show and she did not need to be caught in the school being pregnant with a possible Lucifer.
“Rey and Martina are going to be sick at the same time on Wednesday. Lucas, I'm not feeling too well. Could you finish cooking dinner for me?” I sat on the couch as I felt a bit lethargic.
I needed to be at top shape for the upcoming fight. I took two of the pills from the bottle that Mateo gave me. I knew that I was becoming severely dependant on them, but I needed them to make it alive to my due date.
I needed to start training again or else I wouldn't survive the attack on the school. From what I'd heard, they boosted up security since Leandro's death.
I felt a delicate hand touch my neck and I immediately knew that it was Fatin. She, at the moment, was the only thing making me smile. She made me feel upset too. She would permanently be weakened by giving birth—let alone being pregnant. I pulled her in my lap and held her.
She was the only mercy to my sanity. I placed feather light kisses on her neck. After a few kisses I let her rest her head at the crook of my neck. We sat there for a while. We were simply enjoying each other's presence.
I felt as if our relationship was growing, but at the same time, it felt as if we were at a standstill. I knew that that standstill was being caused by the fact that she had to go to school then again, that was my fault too.
“Everybody get over here, dinner is ready.” I was going to bash Lucas for yelling, I have sensitive ears.
Fatin and I got out of our comfortable position on the couch and walked over to the table. Rai came downstairs—fully brunette—and we ate in silence as we did every night.
~~Later on that Night, Blaise's House, Blaise's P.O.V. ~~
I sat there in my bed thinking about the boring days of my life. I'm stuck with some mean lady this time all she does is yell, yell, and yell. The social worker was supposed to be coming in a week to see if this home is adequate for me.
I already knew the process: answer the questions honestly, show her my room, tell her what I do on a daily basis, and the next day I'm packing into a new house.
I was sick of it. I barely lived in a house for three to two months and I'm sent to a new one. I decided not to brood on it.
I thought back to Rey. I spoke to him a lot but I hardly ever knew what he was thinking. He seemed to read people well, it was either that or he could read people's minds.
I always wished that I could read people's minds, or should I say more specifically Rey's thoughts. I wanted to know what he thought about me. I couldn't really ask that question directly because he would probably think that I was weird.
“I think I have a crush on Blaise…”
I could've sworn I heard Rey just say that he thought he had a crush on me. I must've been hallucinating. I lay down thinking that it would be best to get my thoughts in order.
“This damned hair dye dried out my hair…”
I could've sworn I heard his voice again, but why was I thinking about Rey and hair dye?
“Calyx and I need to get a uniform fitting for me now that I've switched sides, or rather, chosen a side…”
That was an odd thought. I decided that lack of sleep was causing this so I went to bed hoping that these weird thoughts would dissipate by morning.
