The Demand

Lying on my bed, I stayed there, unable to doze off with all that occupied my mind. I was still struggling to get used to all the changes in my life these days and now I was even more obsessed than before. Sometimes, I tried to convince myself that it wasn't real but every time, something had to remind me that it was indeed. When I wasn't fleeing reality, I wanted to further explore the world of the Wates but they made a point of honor not to tell me more. I finally gave up, even though my interest was there. And as Garreth and I were inseparable and Leighton was there all the time, too, it was increasingly difficult to contain the flood of questions that I had on the tip of my tongue.

After their revelations, I thought everything would change radically, especially in our relationships, but this wasn't the case. While Leighton was as friendly as before and Garreth was much nicer, he and I flirted but nothing more. As if something was still holding him back from being with me. After confessing that he was not human, he loved me and protected me because some of his peers wanted me dead, I didn't see how there could be more, though, obviously there was something. Something much more serious and it worried me. I was afraid to know, not wanting new changes in my life but at the same time, ignorance tortured me like never before.

I seemed to be back to square one. Having obtained enough information to find the way to the edge of a new world but at the last moment, be forbade me access to it. I didn't even have my visions of the memories Leighton had hidden from me by putting two psychological barriers in my mind. I recovered all my memory, at the cost of great pain to ultimately realize that apart from moments of everyday life with my parents and the terrible day of their murder, nothing else was in my head. I was immensely grateful for getting back the memories of my parents, but it didn't help me right now. Everything I learned in my childhood on Enimae--the word given to beings such as Garreth and Leighton--was only in tales of this heavenly place called Vergashae or things the Wates had revealed to me. Unnecessary therefore, to help me discover more about what they had concealed. As a twist of fate could never come alone, now that I no longer had any doubt about the good intentions of Garreth, my subconscious didn't seem to agree, as I learned through the same recurrent nightmare that showed me a very different version of Garreth from the one I knew.

Tired, I got up to get my iPod and lay down on my bed. The music always helped to ease my mind and I was hoping that I could sleep without dreaming, for once. Setting off my playlist composed only of relaxing songs, I closed my eyes and let myself be lulled by the sound.
