Faith

I’ve made it to the Zones; my Comm allowed me entry via the iron gates much to my surprise. I thought that after travelling maybe the tech would be fried or unrecognisable to the system, even though Kye has no problems travelling and using his original Comm. I expected with my luck to be defeated before I even started.

The Zones are quiet and though I’m unsure about walking through them I think calling an over-rider would call more attention. I don’t know what time curfew is and my heart starts pounding over being caught outside past it.

Night time starts crawling over the sky, the beams of sunlight being snuffed out by its nemesis. I keep my head down, my hands in Trask’s jacket pockets and try to appear as inconspicuous as possible. I really don’t know if this is a good idea but it’s the only one I have. My feet walk me forward of their own accord. I couldn’t stop and turn back if I wanted to. Besides, where would I go? I’m not exactly brimming with options.

I reach my home, the fake house that never felt homely and now I know why. I haven’t been back here since I found out it isn’t mine, the photos of my parents aren’t really my parents. The decor never matched me because I never chose it. It was all a farce, my entire life. I step inside with a detachment verging on humiliation. How was I so blind, so easily led and convinced?

The opulence I lived in is so far removed from how I grew up, how did I fall into living here so easily, without question? Why was I so naive? Sure I had niggles of doubt, certain things didn’t quite add up or feel right but I could never put my finger on it. How do you look for something that is so well hidden? Something that is easier to accept than to dig deeper into?

I take the winding staircase up to the second floor and stand on the threshold of my old bedroom. I step across and the light filters on immediately, I don’t turn it off. My eyes are drawn to my bed. The huge inviting bed that’s calling my name. I feel drained, weary. I’ve never experienced fatigue like this, loneliness like this or doubt like this before. It’s a constant gnawing fear that I can’t shake. I sit on the bed and wrap my arms around myself, hugging myself because there’s no one else that can. I pushed them away. I chose this solitude, whether my reasons were right or not I started this, I brought it upon myself. A tear escapes and slips down my cheek. Loneliness. I miss Kye. I miss his strength. His fierce, unwavering love. I miss what we once had and long for what I’ll never have again.

I fall back on the bed and let sleep take me. I let it take me under so deep that my consciousness isn’t able to think, isn’t able to hurt.
