"Bang" I hit my head on the wooden floor while trying to get a grasp of whatever was happening in room. It felt like I was in the milky way, I found myself aligning with the galaxy. My body felt so light, as light as a feather. My transfer to this new realm, a world could be mistaken for purity itself because of the tranquility it offered to me, the only supposed inhabitant at this point was me.
I rubbed my hurting head with my hand. Ruffy's question about my friend made me walk back in Memory lane. It made me remember everything that me and Gwen shared.
Kravitz told my father about the Liber potentia and it made him more hyper about me being the child of the prophesy. I wouldn't want to tell him about the realm I found myself in. I might tell my mom later although there's a probability that she'd snitch on me.
My father's major concern was the total barnishing of the wretched souls from the surface of earth. He would always bring up the issue during every dinner or family gathering. I don't know how he fails to read the look on my mother's face, since it's visible that she's sick with his obsession with the wretched soul.
If I didn't see my mom using her power before, I sure would believe that she was just an ordinary person who was totally unrelated to the council of purity. She's always busy with me or my father that I sometimes forget how good of an editor she is.
It was my mother's life that made me see how much I wanted to be so ordinary. Whenever my parents were too busy, I'd spend most of my time at my mother's friend Vanessa's house. Aunt Vanny, as I normally call her was always so cheerful whenever I visited. Her family was ordinary, they lived a simple life. Her husband's a professor and she owns a boutique.
Aunt Vanny has a daughter Gwen, right from our days as children, Gwen was always cheerful. We would spend days in her treehouse talking about the Future. Since the very beginning, my father had always made feel greedy and selfish for wanting a simple life when I'm supposed to save the world.
I onced saved Gwen with my power when we were 12, we stole some wine from her parents bar during a house party they had and saved it for later. The day we had the wine, It tasted like fruits and freedom, although it was accompanied by some burns in the throat. Gwen had most of the wine, she went crazy and wanted to fly.
Gwen's always felt that her parents didn't give her enough attention since they were too busy, her father being too busy writing articles that could last for eternity while her mother was too busy trying to get celebrities to wear her clothes. Gwen would do anything just to be rebellious and I on the other hand was ever too ready to join her on her shenanigans.
Too drunk on wine, Gwen believed she could fly, she placed her left foot on the wooden flat end of the treehouse, the wood creaked, she had a smirk on her face. I was too far to hold her hands and stop her from falling. No, I was too far to hold her hands but not too far to stop her from falling.
Gwen jumped. I stopped her flight mid way, used a force to bring her up into the treehouse, she had a soft landing in my arms. My heart beats increased as I watch her fall asleep in my arms. When Gwen woke up, She didn't remember jumping but she remembered saying she wanted to jump and fly like a bird. Later she would tell me before her first visit to the rehab that she wanted to jump to her death and not fly.
Gwen is my lavender, she added colour to my life. It felt sad to know that while she gave me happiness, she was struggling to be happy. The first time Gwen went to rehab, she was 14. Two years after the infamous wine taking, she got addicted to it, she stole lots of wine from her parents bar and when her Parents found out about it, they stopped keeping alcohol at home. But that didn't end her addiction, she started using all her money to get it.
At 16, Gwen relapsed back into her addiction. I felt totally useless, having all the power that i possess and still being unable to save her killed me. After spending six months at the rehab, she applied for a scholarship in Norway and got it in.
