Chapter 268: The truth hurts

Blue.

"How is she?’’ I walk into the room and Levine sighs loudly. Her eyes are red and she has dark circles around them. It has been two days. Nothing has changed. Gyles is still in his sleep state. I have been pumping his veins with blood. Maybe if he has enough of blood, he will wake up. Rex is awake and very scared. I have not been allowed to see him. The elders set up a meeting for tomorrow. They are deciding on what will be done.

Everyone is taking matters into their own hands.

The fact that mother is still not awake, is the major problem. I can’t convince the people here because they don’t trust me. No one likes me, no one thinks I can handle this place. I am just the outcast that is related to the chief.

"Still the same but the bleeding has stopped. I contained it all with the healing potion,’’ she tells me. I want to believe that she is better but I don’t think this time will end well. If she doesn’t wake up, I don’t know how I will protect Gyles and Rex. I don’t know if I will have enough power to protect them.

"Do you think she will wake up?’’ I ask her because I need some good news.

Once the meeting is confirmed and they make a decision, we will have to do whatever they decide on and I know they will want to execute Rex. They wouldn’t want to investigate it or find out what happened. As far as they are concerned a stranger came into the estate with a plan to kill the chief. The decision of who is to take over my mother would be made by the elders. They don’t see me as a contender—not like I even want that but right now, I wish I had the power to get them out of this mess. If only I had taken the coven seriously. If only I had done the things I needed to do, all this wouldn’t be happening.

"Right now I can’t tell, this is bad Blue. Very bad.’’ She tells me, I know what she means, there is one thing I can feel in this room. One thing alone and that is how out of this world she is. Usually, a person’s aura is strong. Like Levine’s aura is here, on this world but my mother seems half here and half on the other side, which just means, she might not make it.

Rex will not even forgive himself. With all that has happened, he will never let go of this and that is what breaks me the most.

"Levine I need your help,’’ I manage. I am desperate and there is no one I can talk to about this. There is no one that can help me with this.

"Is it about the boy?’’ she asks.

Levine is my mother’s sister, my aunt and her best friend. She is the only one that can even try to convince the elders on sparing Rex. I don’t want to have to break him out of the cell. I don’t want to have to worry about people coming after him. I am so scared that bringing him into my life might have ruined his chances of happiness.

"Yes, he is not who they are saying he is. They want to execute him.’’

She sighs "Your mother mentioned some things before it happened. I am so sure that he didn’t do this on his own. He wasn’t present. Almost like he was on a spell.’’

I don’t even have any doubts about it. I am so sure that someone did this to Rex. The man I love wouldn’t even hurt a fly, let alone a whole person.

"You need to be present at the meeting. I need you to tell them the truth."

She shakes her head "I am sorry Blue, right now, your mother is the only one I can focus on. i don’t know how I will fare if she doesn’t make it."

As usual, Levine doesn’t care about anyone but my mother. She doesn’t care about me. I knew not to expect a lot from all these people. I knew that it would only leave me disappointed. I told her, I begged her not the have this party and she chose to anyways. As usual, she just had to be stubborn. I leave the room and walk out of the house. In a couple of hours, Rex’s fate will be sealed. I need to find a way to get him out of the community before that happens. I have the strength. I have the powers to break him out.

I just need to see him, make sure he is okay.

I walk to the dungeon and another guard is on shift today. I don’t even know who he is but I am pretty sure he knows me. "I can’t let you in,’’ he warns me immediately.

"I need to see the prisoner.’’

"I have been authorized not to let anyone in,’’ I knew that would happen. To everyone here, Rex is dangerous. He is someone that everyone should be wary of. To me, he is sweet, he is gentle and caring.

"I am Analise’s son. He hurt my mother, so what do you think will happen if you let me in to see him?’’ I ask him in hopes that grants me my request. He looks around, like he just believes that something would go wrong but I don’t have any plans of getting him out today. I just need to know what they will decide first and then see if I can try to convince them that he is not the bad person they are making him out to be. I need to get enough proof that he didn’t do this on his own.

I want to make them see that magic was involved.

"This is not a good idea man,’’ he breathes out but I see him giving in.

"I promise, just a couple of minutes with him.’’

His sigh is loud and I smile gratefully that he is letting me do this. "Go in,’’ he tells me. To him, I am the victim, so he wouldn’t think that my intention is Saving Rex. I should want to kill him for hurting my mother. I walk into the darkroom and he is seated on the cold ground. His head is on his knees, his hands are over them.

He looks up immediately—almost like he can feel my presence. His eyes open wide and he runs to the cage "Blue,’’ he cries my name. I feel the pain in his voice. The fact that I can’t even do anything to help him right now makes me hate myself.

"What is going on?’’ he asks me as I grab his hands through the spaces in the cage.

"It’s a long story. I need to know if you’re okay,’’ I ask him because that is my major concern. He closes his eyes and for the first time since I walked in here, I see that he has lost weight. I am pretty sure he hasn’t eaten anything.

"I am going to ger you out of here,’’ I tell him.

He furrows his brows in confusion "Why am I here in the first place. What did I do?’’

I don’t know how to tell him this and I don’t know if it is a good idea to tell him what he did—especially since it is not his fault. He was unfortunate to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and that is why he is suffering for this.

"You didn’t do anything. This is not your fault." I don’t want to tell him like it is because I don’t want that to be the only thing on his mind. If he finds out that he hurt Gyles, he might never forgive himself.

"What did I do Blue,’’ he asks me, this time a lot colder. I know this can be frustrating. Not knowing and being accused but I don’t want to be the one to tell him. I wish I could shelter it for the rest of his life. I don’t want him to think about this day and think about that.

"Tell me Blue,’’ he demands, leaving me no choice.

As the words leave my lips and I explain everything to him. I see the pain, it is almost like a shift. From not knowing to hurting.

I just made him hurt and I don’t know how to fix that.
