Chapter 22 - I Can(not) Be Good

  “... so Parker, you are smart, what do you think this place is?” I asked Parker as Yun twitched a little, after a while of holding hands, Him and the Lass passed out, whatever they were doing sent them into a deep sleep, “Anre you are asking me to apply logic to where is none I′m not even sure we move from the magnetic storm or not” He closed his book and came closer to check on Yun, “if you ask me you are probably better suited to answer you own question, what do you think this places is?” I lifted my eyebrow and thought, “... you promise you won't laugh?” I asked him “Anre, I would never laugh at you, that's Yun′s job, come on I want to hear” He smiled kindly at me “I think we are in a place made by Yun′s will” he thought for a moment and let me continue “all the things we have seen here are things that are relevant to Yun, the train, the manor, and now” I pointed to the high rooftop and the familiar stone columns surrounding us, “we are at the maw again”

  Yun′s body arched violently for a moment. Parker managed to keep him in palace. “... Do you think he will turn?” Parker asked me in a worried tone, “Yunni is a strong man, but we all have a breaking point, and let's be honest, you and I are also scared of this situation. In time, it will be us twisting and turning on the ground.” I stomped on the ground. “It's not fair!” “Care to elaborate?” Parker adjusted his glasses and looked at me, “Yunni is a good man, you are a good man, and the lass… she is only a kid, it's not fair that you guys have to go through this.” I moved some strings of hair away from Yun′s face

  “Hey… I've been meaning to ask you, do you like Yun?” Parker asked me, I laughed, “No, I′m serious, you are always hugging him, and you make many comments about his appearance, and you also proclaimed to have ownership of his hugs and company.” “I… well… can I distract you with a book from your bag?” I asked but he shook his head defeated I answered “Is more complicated than just like him or you for that fact, Yun remains me of someone that I used to know back in the Providence” We sat down to keep our conversation, “Say… have you read the little match girl?” he nodded “a heart-crushing tale about a girl that dies in the cold while dreaming of things that can′t ever be” “have you ever live, the tale?”

  “What do you mean? Where were you left on the snow all night long?” I slowly nodded, “... I′m not a good person like you or them, I did something bad when I was young and… let′s say Papa didn't like that one bit.” “That's stupid, you are a good person, Anre!” I smiled back and continued “I still remember banging desperately on the door of our home pleading and yelling Please Papa I can be good!” but it was to no able, I walked to the park looking for a place that was warm, and unbeknownst to me I meet someone warm” Parker was upset with my tale he adjusted his glasses “your dad is awful, and if I see him I will hit him with my paper”

  “You, Yun, and later on the Lass have been warm to me, that's why I try to be good, I am able to be next to all of you, but I still do the wrong things, but when it comes to keeping you all safe I will punch anyone, I′ll just be strong and hit stuff until everyone is fine” Parker sighed and looked back at me “Anre… I think you are one of the only people I would forgive if you burn a library down. Listen, I understand we all have gone through a lot, we′ll just have to… watch out!” Parker pushed me out of the way as a sword the size of a tower slammed against his face. I heard a horrific cracking sound, unsure if it was real or the thing Karolin talked about. Parker landed near the others, and his glasses were shattered into pieces. A few shards lunged into his face he passed out from the impact.

  “Sometimes I wonder what they see?” I thought to myself, the knights of Twilight moved at least a dozen, and marching in front of them was that brat of Lucas. I took my hammer and walked in front of my friends, all of them now out of the picture. It had been a while since I fought alone. “It′s for the best… I don't want them to see” I readied my hammer and waited for the brat to speak in his oh-so grandiose way. “I will ask cordially one last time to hand over the vulture and the kid; you and the other man don't need to be caught in his mess.

  “The glimmer of my hammer sometimes I see… I see myself in a fancy house, or eating a nice meal, with the person I love… and the second the light is consumed by the explosion…” I didn't laugh, it was not like the times I had to be jolly and happy in the face of a fight, for a moment I was wondering when it would happen when we would fight a human and be forced to take them out “Did you know Lad?” since I didn't gave him the answer he expected he moved his hand and a guard charged at me, they swung their over-size sword aiming at my head but I was not going to play, I grasped his arm and in quick motion broke their wrist “Something you need to know about me is that I hate when my warmth is taken from me, happened once it will never happen again…”

  I let the scarlet glow grow, eventually covering the body of the person I was holding. They started to panic, screaming and demanding to let him go, and normally I would; however, this time, “It sure is cold today, no?” Crack. I felt heat coming from my chest as if my heart was a smoldering boulder, and yet… it is still so cold. “When the light is consumed by the explosion, the one thing I feel is happiness, an ember of warmth. Why can he be happy and warm and not me?” “Unhand you? Sure!” I threw the person back at the rest of his group and let the explosion happen. “Is it because I am bad? For all of the sins I have committed? I want to be good… I think I can be good…” Lucas looked helpless as the knight burst into an explosion, sending some of the others to the ground. He charged at me, “I can be good… just not today!”

  “You fiend!” I blocked the hit with my hammer and punched him in the face, “Bring it shorty!” “Everyone charge!” The rest of the knights entered the battle. Is this what Kanaria went through? if she is able to win then so can I, the clash of steel and explosion filled the maw the knights tried to phalanx me into submission but right now, I think they would need more of them to bring me down, Lucas was the problem I try to put him down for good, nobody threatens my friends and hurts them and lives to tell the tale, he is a strong feo, in the end he managed to take my hammer away from my hands and kicked me to the ground he lifted his sword and brought it down over my stomach, but before it could connect something even more horrible happen.

  “Y…Y…YOU!” the distorted voice of Yun, and his magnetic crest appeared in my stomach. Suddenly, a wind current swept over us. I looked back, “No… NO!!!” Yun was fully turned into the monster we faced back at the bus, he stopped having a human form, his body resembled that of a bird with no wings only the skeletal bones form underneath, a few metallic electric poles adorned its neck, his golden eyes glare at Lucas Yun let a bone-chilling cry resonate through the place and launched himself at Lucas, as I watched hopelessly how I lost an important person in my life.
