Chapter 41 The Truth and Lies

Chapter Forty
The night was deep and almost all of my fellow students here in Atenowa were asleep. I got awake from the loud sound of a series of knocks from my door. My eyebrows were raised when I saw Trisha in front of me. She had junk foods and two glasses of lemonade that she always brings for our midnight snack.
“What are you doing here? It’s too late.”
She closes the door and follows me inside of my room. She put the lemonades and the junk foods in the table and smiles at me.
“Come-on get up now… Lets enjoy the chocolates and I bring your favorite chips.”
My eyes widen, to my surprise. I give her a grinned smile. I jump from my bed and grab the chips that Trisha brought to me. My smile faded. That makes her wonders.
“Why? Don’t you like it?”
“Not at all… I just remember my friends in Huesca. We used to hang this somewhat… I mean chips, chocolates, lemonade, and I’ve missed the pancakes and muffins that Mandy brought for me.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
It’s alright.”
I give her a smile and sip the lemonade and taste the chips. We giggle as we started eating and enjoying the snacks. From time to time we pick out at the door looking to Lady Brume that we are afraid of that she will come inside and scolded us.
“Have you heard about Lady Cassandra and Master Willow?”
“No. It surprised me that they are not here and Lady Brume said that they need to go for special training of being the highest Supremes.”
I used to pretend that I do not know where they were. I believe it's better to be this way. I don’t want anyone to get involved. I know Huesca was in danger and Lady Brume didn’t allow me to go to Huesca.
“No, they don’t go for a training. Orenda told me that they went to the place of mortals.”
“To the Place of Mortals? To the outside world?”
“Yes.”
Suddenly, I felt quiet and came to my mind about what was happened to my family and friends. Does Willow and Cassandra get rid the vampires? Or how they fight with the devils of the night? What about my family? Does they fight against them? And what about my friends and Lucas? These are the questions that are running through my head.
I drank all the remaining lemonade and stands up from my seat and gaze all the place of Atenowa. The barrier that they are making was still there. I just stared at the moon that illuminated to the whole place of Atenowa.
It gives me a fear, a strange feeling that wraps my whole being. The cold air gives me a warning as if I had bad news to receive. I get my sweater and went outside of my room.
Trisha just gives me a look why all of the sudden, I running out of my room.
“Hey, Thana. where are you going?”
“Just stay here. I’ll be back.”
I went to Lady Brume’s room and knocked on her door several times. Later in a moment, she opened the door and her eyes were sharp to me like typical Lady Brume, who was rugged and raised eyebrows every time I approached her.
“What brought you here in this kind of hour?”
“Can I come inside?”
She gives a way and let me come inside her room. I look around before I say a word to her. But before I speak, she motion her hand to forbid me to speak.
“I don’t want to hear your agony again.” She said and her hands on her hips showing her dominance.
“But..”
“I said don’t talk.”
If there’s one thing that I hated most about her is just because she treats me differently from the other and showing me that I am responsible for what is happening right now.
“Take a seat.” She ordered me.
I just nod at her and sit at the couch near to the window. She sat next to me without looking at me. I wonder what will she would do to me or is there someone else that she is waiting to come.
“Lady Brume…”
I tried to talk to her again, but just as like earlier, she keeps ignoring me. She just sighed and glimpse at me without saying a word.
After a minute, the door opens wide, and to my surprise, I stand up. Willow and Cassandra show up in front of me. I glared at Lady Brume, who was still sitting on a couch next to me.
“Thana.” Cassandra calling my name.
“It’s surprise me. I never expecting that you come back earlier than time.”
They just look at each other.
“Tell me what happen?”
I look at Cassandra and to Willow waiting for their answer. Lady Brume stands from her seat and walks toward to them.
“You don’t have to be worry Thana.” Lady Brume stated.
“Huesca now is safe.”
Cassandra just glances at me and bows her head. I know that she had something to say, but Lady Brume forbid her to say another word.
“How can I be certain that they are okay? What about my friends? Are they safe?”
“You heard me. They are good.”
“No. I won’t believe you.” I exclaimed at Lady Brume. She was hiding the truth and I could see it in her eyes.
“Go back to your room now. I command you.”
I turn around and step outside of her room. I stepped back to my room. I wanted to fly to the place of Mortals. I wanted to see with my naked eye that my family and friends are safe.
It dumbfounded Trisha when the door opens. Because of my anger I can’t control my power, there will be the possibility that I can create damage and hurt the others. I put my palms to prevent the energetics from coming out of my palm. I hide myself between the doors of my room and sat down on the floor.
“Thana, are you alright?”
Trisha comes closer to ask me what was happening.
“Stay away from me.”
“Why? What happen?”
“Please stay away from me. I don’t want to get you hurt because of me.”
“But, why?”
My tears flow like running water that bathes to my cheeks. For the second time, I cried. I tried to hide my sadness out of my fear that I would hurt Trisha. I pushed her away from me and let her out of my room.
Yet I know I will disappoint her by mistreating her. There’s no other way can do to save her from the blast of my magic power.
