Legacy

Let The Battle Commence

My eyes reluctantly open ad a right light shines through the window, I groan when i realize its morning.  Memories from last night flood in my mind making me smile.

I wake up to find Brandon sound asleep holding me in his arms. Brandon groans as the light wakes him up as-well and I kiss his chest.

"Morning." He opens his eyes a bit, and grins happily.

"Morning." I mock his morning voice, and grin.

"How did you sleep?" He ask resting his head on his hand.

"Good considering, the first sleep i haven't had a nightmare." Brandon frowns.

"Nightmares?" He asks. He eyes look as if they know what they where about. "About the shooting?" He asks nervously.

"That and being almost being sacrificed and killed. The normal." Ever since i came here my world has shaken to its core. Everything i knew was lie.

"We should get up." I hug his chest

"We should, but we can get up later." He grins. and leans in for a kiss.

"That sounds perfect."  I say and lean in until our lips meet. His hands wrap around my waist pulling me closer to him, this is one of the rare times i feel safe, and i like it.

****

I sit in front of the hair brushing my hair, while Brandon gets dressed. He comes over and gives me a kiss on the forehead.

"What some breakfast?" He asks

"No, I'll wait till after the battle to eat."

"You should get your strength up." He pushes, why is he suddenly so edgy?

"I'm not hungry.There no way i can eat now i'm way too nervous about today." I go back to brushing the knots out of my hair.

"Fine." He huffs. Wow he's moody, usally he's so calm and cool but now he's all tense and stressed so unlike him. 

"You ok?" I ask, I never seen Brandon mad before, its kinds scary.

"Yeah, just nervous, I'm gonna get something ill see you downstairs." He changs the sunject, to qiuckly in my opinion.  He gives me a quick kiss on my cheek and walks out of the room.

"Ok then." I say out-loud and pick my outfit. What do you where to a battle against good and evil?

I decide to wear my grey short sleeve shirt along with black shorts and sneakers.

I cant help but feel like there something not right. I cant put my finger on it. I think its with Brandon, Well he did get shot, so i guess its kind of normal for him to be a little weird, i guess, maybe its about Derek i mean i do have strong feelings for him but Brandon shouldnt be worried.

I walk out of my room into the hallway when i see Derek.

"Hey." He gives me a weak smile

"Hey." I say back, he looks tired, like he havent slept in a few days.

"Are you ready for battle?" He asks

"You mean are am i ready to risk my life for the billionth time and a good chance I'll die in the battle? Yep i'm ready." I laugh and he laughs along with me.

"I know this will be hard for you but try not to get yourself killed, all i ask." He jokes

"Haha." I tease him.

"Listen..um i know your with Brandon but.."

"Derek.." I breathe

"But it would suck if we didn't talk or see each other after all this is over." He takes as step forward and where only a few inches apart.

"Yeah it would." And i mean it.

"Could you do one thing for me." He moves closer toward me. Before i have time to react he kisses me hard and passionate. He cups my check as my hands rest on his stomach. The kiss is over too soon, when he breaks apart and looks into my eyes.

"Don't die." He kisses my forehead and walks away.

I can feel my breath stuck in my throat, my chest rising and falling rapidly, I lean against the wall trying to slow my breath but nothing works, i don't know if its the reality of the situation but realization hits me, that was our last kiss and it makes me sad. I want more. I want Derek.

I have to tell Brandon but after the battle i don't want him to be distracted. 

Should i tell Derek?

No I'll wait till after the battle.

I make my way to Brandon, in the cafeteria when he charges toward me yanking me by my arm.

"Oww, Brandon your hurting me."

"You like him better than be? Huh? You want him to be your boyfriend instead of me?" He shouts dragging me toward the super strength group workout place.

"No, where would you get that?" How could he know?

 "I heard you say it!" He growls and his grips get tighter, and making a hand-shape bruise on my arm.

When we reach the Super strength group know-one is here. Where did they all go? Before i can even blink he throws me to the ground.

"Ahh." I try to stand be he stands in-front of me, so if i try to get up he'll push me back down again.

"I never said i wanted Derek." I sob looking into his eyes, its only anger and betrayal

"I heard you." He clenches a fist

"I-" I did say it.....in my head. "How could you get inside my head?" I was so confused. "Your- in- the su-super -strength group." I hiccup.

"I am." He says calmly

"Your an other? Why didn't you tell me?!?!" I shout standing up at super speed , so were now face to face.

"I'm not just an other I'm thee other." He grins a grin that is so sinister and evil its sends shivers down my spine making me shake with fear, and suspicion but my suspicion turns to fear, anger, sadness and shock when Brandon's eyes turn yellow.

The same color as Edgar's.

"Surprise my betrothed." He breathes into my ear

"Edgar?" I squeak.
