Unknown Love and Destiny Pt 1

"You are a wielder of magic. A fighter of the light. Your twin brother is your opposite" he tried to make it mild, but he couldn\'t imagine the shock.



"I see. But this doesn\'t make sense. My whole life has been a scam. I\'ve never used magic and how do you even know that I can. This is silly. It sounds like some fairy tale. Are you sure you didn\'t hit your head harder than you thought?"



She had to go there. This was the crucial point, where she would either reject and hate him or she would accept him for what he really was. "It is my job to keep you safe. I am your guardian. Your birth was part of a prophesy"



"My guardian? You?" She felt dizzy, so she went and sat down on the toilet. She thought about what he was saying. "Everything is a lie. You..you don\'t need glasses do you? "



"No, I don\'t. In fact, I can see better then just about any human" turning off the shower.



"So, if I am this..this prophesy, why did no one tell me? why make me grow up in a lie. I thought we were friends. I\'ve always told you everything, but you..you lied to me."



"It was for you, my superiors wanted to bring you up doing hard training and closed in a bunker deep underground. I was the one who said that wasn\'t a life for a girl. You needed to have a normal life. It cost me dearly, but they agreed to let you live your life for as long as possible. And I am still your friend"



She sat there and thought. He was right. He was still her friend and living underground overly protected would not have been fun. "What did it cost you?"



"My life. I may still have been a young boy back then, but I don\'t know who my parents are, my memories start at the moment you and I were placed in a foster home".



She thought that is where they had first met. Living a hard life with a foster father who was very disciplined and a mother who couldn\'t cook.



"I\'m sorry for being such a burden." Looking up at him as he exited the shower, wrapping a towel around his hips. " I guess watching over me hasn\'t been easy, but why were you chosen? Surely there were others. I feel terrible that you don\'t know your family, but then I guess I don\'t\' either."



"No, you haven\'t been a pain. It has been an honor. It was the price of letting you live a normal life, that I would be the one who protected you" he smiled at her as he walked out of the bathroom and into his room.



Standing and following him. "So now what?"



"Now... We need to awaken your powers" pushing a small button on his desk and a hidden compartment in the wall appeared.



Watching him, her eyes grew large, at the site of the compartment. "And just how do you awaken these powers?"



"That is up to you. Since you are one of the very few who actually have access to this mythical power, no one can show you how to do it" walking over to the small room that contained a super computer. "What you need to do is to try and feel your way through this" tapping in commands.



"Great, no instruction manual." Walking over to get a better view of what he was doing. Placing her hand on his back, she leaned over. "What are you doing?"



"Just letting HQ know the turn of events. If I were you, I would start getting in touch with magic. Because the dream was just the beginning" he warned her, it broke his heart that she had to go through this.



Dread ran through her. She didn\'t like the sound of that. What if she couldn\'t find this magic inside of her, then what. What if something happened to him, because of her. She really had to take this seriously, remembering the power she felt during the dream, how it had felt from the dark. She sat down on his bed and chewed her lip, deep in thought.



It wasn\'t long until the screen on the computer started to give static and he looked out from the room. "Hey, take it easy. You need to find the balance. I know that to much at one time can kill the wielder. Or leave very unpleasant after effects"



Looking up at him. "What? I was just going over the dream again. I don\'t even know what the power will feel like or anything. This is very odd. I thought math and physics was hard in school. Well, they have nothing on this."



He sighed. He had read a little of what the ancient text had to offer, he knew the basics of where they got their powers from. "Close your eyes and relax"



"Fine." Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and slowly let it out. "Meditation. I got it."



"Not really" he said before kneeling down to her level. "Picture yourself in a bright and warm room. This room is your safe place, only you and the ones you allow in can be here" he started as he looked at her face to see if there was any effects.



Opening one eye she looked at him. "Safe place? Alright." Closing her eye again, she concentrated on a safe place and all that came to mind was his room. She always felt safe with him, so why not his room. Smiling she pictured everything as it was in his room. She was amazed at how easy it was to recreate it in her mind.



"Do you love someone?" he asked, it was time to add the source of the

power.



"Yes."



"Alright, picture him or her in that room with you. Smiling at you, looking you deep in the eyes" he continued to watch her.



Licking her lips, she saw him with her just like he was now. Her pulse and breathing accelerated a bit.



"Now, picture your self kissing him, holding him in your arms" he looked around the room, there was a slight breeze that was moving around the room. He could tell that she was getting close.



Remembering the light kiss she had given him, she latched onto it. Remembering how it felt for that moment, feeling his body against hers as he had held her after her nightmare. A shiver went up her spine. Panting now, she shifted her weight, feeling dampness gather between her legs. Her body begins to tremble. A rush flows through her like nothing before. Causing her to gasp, her eyes snap open. Her body feeling alive and tingling.



"Welcome to a New World." He only hoped that he didn\'t die, or worse, she would die.



Bringing her hands up, she looks at them. They were still trembling, then she looked at him. Not knowing what to say, she did the only thing in her mind at that moment. Cupping his head between her quaking hands, she kissed him, this time not lightly but with every emotion flowing through her at that moment.



She was kissing him again... Could he be that lucky or that cursed. His duty prevented him from pursuing her. It was to dangerous for them to be to close together. Even if it was the main source of her power, it could be her undoing as well.



Slowly breaking their kiss. "That was a no, no. wasn\'t it?"



"As much I would love to pursue it, it was also one of the deals that was made to let you live a normal life. Since I am your guardian, being in a relationship can cloud our judgment" he lowered his head, he was sure she was going to become very angry with him, maybe even hate him.



She knew she should be angry but it just wasn\'t in her to be. She loved him and it was deeper than a brother love. Running a finger along his jaw. "It\'s alright. I understand, but know this, my feelings for you brought the power to me. You are more dear to me than you may ever know." Kissing him lightly on the cheek, she realized she could feel others around her. Those in the world, maybe beyond, who knew love and she smiled. This new power was going to be hard to get used to. She felt different, almost tranquil.



"I guess we will share the curse then. I just wish things would be different. But you are far from ready to defend yourself" he stood up and walked into the small room, returning to her with an arc of white paper with the exact symbol on it as she had on her ankle. "This is a spell used to track powerful magical beings" he informed her.



Looking down at her ankle. "So they hope to track and destroy me before I am ready." Looking at him. "I .. we are in a lot of danger now, aren\'t we?"



"Yes we are. That is why we need to get out of this house and get to some place safer" he gave her the paper and walked over to the dresser. Removing the towel as he dug for a pair of boxers.



Glancing at the paper, then at him, she slowly stood. "I don\'t consider my feelings for you as a curse, Michael. Perhaps one day we will be able to act upon out feelings for one another." Pausing. Watching him dress. "I guess I had better go and pack." then turning she began reading over the paper. Silently shutting his door walking from his room down and into hers.
