His Prophesy

Without You

Cian walked through the portal and appeared in front of Dan and Jade's house, he didn't bother to knock he opened the door and walked in.

'Cian, you are back' Jade said happily

'Yeah, I said I'd be back' Cian said closing the door behind him,

'Did you find out anything about yourself' Dan asked without raising his head from the papers. Cian thought about what he'd answer before saying 'No' he lied

'I've prepare lunch, come eat' Jade said pulling him to dinning,

'I've eaten, I had brunch, so I would go have a nap in my room' Cian said gently pulling his wrist from Jade's grip and went into his room which was exactly as he left it. He laid on the bed burying his face into the mattress ad the sleep kicked in, a sleep without any disturbance at last.

Clint on the other hand, was like a bird who had lost its wings, 'Clint, don't worry Cian would come back' Yvonne said gently patting Clint shoulder, who sat on the floor staring at the door which had Cian walked through.

'He came back and left because of me, because of this selfish me!' Clint blamed himself while hitting his chest.

'Maybe you should calm down' Valerie said coming closer and pulling him into a hug and Clint cried into her warmth.

Asher went to his room, which was huge but looked lifeless, the shelf was filled with dust, the bed was without mattress and the study table was filled with dust except from the books on it which seemed to be recently moved. Asher went into the bathroom, he undress and went under the shower, the cold water seemed to reduce his pain, emotional pain so he stayed there for a while. After the long cold shower, Asher sat by the window staring outside the mansion, watching birds as they flew in groups, he could still hear Clint cry and their parents leave one after the other. He didn't know how long passed but the sun was about to set, immediately jumped down from the window and successfully landed on his feet. He held a crystal to the sun which reflected it ray and created a portal which he walked through. He appeared in front of Cian's home, he sniffed the air for Cian which led him to a window, it was Cian's room window. Asher watched Cian from a close distance, he was busy on his computer, then he suddenly felt someone watching him. He turned to the window and saw nothing but the quiet neighborhood. it would have been fun to watch kids play under the sunset but the depressing nature of the town had driven all of them away. Cian never had a dream for a future, he could hardly go to highschool properly without causing water to spill, freezing up his neighbor's pool or boiling the water in the tank of the class water dispenser. Now he knew why all those happened and the secrets behind it, he couldn't tell his foster parents because for one they probably wouldn't believe a thing and call him crazy and he also didn't want to drag them into this mess.

'Cian, dinner is ready, do you want me to bring yours here or will you come eat with us?' Jade asked bringing Cian out of his thoughts.

'I would like to join you and dad' he said and followed Jade to the dinning.

The food was delicious as always but it tasted bland in his mouth, it was hard to swallow like there's a lump on his throat. He sat silently through dinner unable to find the appetite to eat because his mind kept going back to Clint's face, he looked broken and helpless, he tried to make himself forget about everything, his childhood friends and his twin brother but he still felt the void which needed to be filled. He went back to his room when it was dark, he saw someone familiar standing in the shadows, he didn't freak out because he knew who it was, it was Asher. He sat on the bed and Asher came out of the shadows and sat on the study chair, he sat facing Cian. Asher never sits when he's around Clint because he's scared his subconsciousness would get tricked by the face and spill out his whole secret. They sat there, staring at each other in silence, Asher was busy checking out Cian's face for any differences between Cian and Clint face instead he found a similarity, they both had a birthmark below their eyes. Cian's own was on the right while Clint was on the left.

'How did you get in here?' Cian asked with a pretend smile breaking the silence and drawing Asher's attention.

'The window' Asher answered

'Oh ok, what are you doing here, don't tell me you are here to convince me to come back because you're the last person I did listen to' Cian said crossing his legs and adjusting into the bed.

'No, I came here on my own, I just came here.... to make sure you are safe' Asher said coming up with an excuse to cover up his longing for Cian.

'You've seen me, I'm good, well and hearty' Cian said with a forced smile

'You don't have to pretend that you are fine, your smile seems fake, don't ask me how I knew, I just knew it' Asher said and the fake happiness on Cian's face disappeared.

'I'm worried about him, I mean I'm happy here but the happiness seems....'

'Incomplete' Asher completed his sentence.

There was a knock on his door before the door opened, 'Cian, are you talking with someone?' Jade asked. Cian looked at the seat in where Asher sat a second ago, it was empty.

'No, I'm not crazy' Cian joked forcing a smile, feeling a bit disappointed to see the seat empty

'Ok, if you say so' Jade closed the door and her footsteps trailed off.

Cian heard a knock on the window, this sounds crazy but he was sort of happy that Asher came back, he hid his happiness behind a blank expression and opened the windows for Asher to climb in.

'When are you going back?' Cian asked seating back on the bed

'When you fall asleep' Asher said sitting down on the study chair

'So you can suck out my blood and drain me of life force?' Cian said in almost joke but he really meant it

'I can't do that to you beside I don't want Clint getting all mad and cause a lightening to strike me to death' Asher joked but still looked serious

'Is that a joke? if it is, smile instead of making that serious face' Cian said lying on the bed and tucking himself into the blanket

'Are you sleepy?' Asher asked an Cian nodded

'It somehow feels safe to sleep when you are here, don't l....' Cian voice trailed off as he slept off. Asher watched him sleep and smiled, something he hasn't done in a long time.

The ray of sunlight touched the diamond pendant on his neck and a figure appeared standing in front of him, Cian opened his eyes thinking it Asher was still in his room but it wasn't who he was expecting. He saw an older man, smiling at him, the man looked like him but was more matured like he was in his thirties with grey hairs at the sides of his head.

'Who are you?' Cian asked

'I'm your subconsciousness appearing in form of your father' The figure answered.

Cian sat up, moving away from the sunlight and the figure filtered away, Cian stood up from the bed and stretched to touch the place the figure stood, entering into the sunlight and the figure appeared again startling Cian who fell on the bed.

'How are doing that?' Cian asked and the figure pointed at the diamond pendant

'When it touch the sunlight I can appear if you want me to like now, your subconsciousness knows you're needy right now' The figure answered.

'Why is it dad not mom?' Cian asked

'It seemed that your dad was your closest and I don't know why' the figure answered

'So I can call you dad, right' the figure gave a slight nod and smiled

'Dad, can you tell me about what happened that night?' Cian asked

'I don't know that answer, that part of your subconsciousness is buried deep, I only know what you know like how you feel bad and lonely for leaving Clint' Dad pointed out.

'I also want to hold him, touch him and hug him but I can't do any of that without putting others in danger' Cian said feeling depressed again.

'You can, remember when you guys hugged and made it snow, you can touch only when you learn to control your magic and emotions' Dad said and it lightened up Cian's face.

'Cian! it's time to wake up Jade called from behind the door and Dad filtered away.

Asher reached home when Sean and Raymond were about to leave the mansion for school, Asher left Cian's when the sun rose.

'You slept out, again?' Sean asked

'As if he sleeps' Raymond said feeling down

'Where were you? I didn't smell you nearby as usual' Sean asked

'Stop being my mother' Asher said faking been annoyed, he didn't want them to discover that he had stayed with Cian throughout the night. 'Where is Clint?' he asked

'Probably in his room, he won't talk or eat nor prepare for school, beside exam is over so he can skip school' Sean responded

'I would stay with him' Asher said heading upstairs.

Clint hasn't moved from the spot he sat by the window staring at nothing, the last time he was like that was the night his parents and his brother died, he was like this for days. Asher kept checking on Clint who still hadn't moved, he brought Clint lunch but couldn't enter so he had to call Clint to let him in.

'How was he?' Clint asked surprising Asher

'Come in, I knew you would go see him, how was he?' Clint asked his voice sounded depressed and hoarse, his face was paler than usual with his eye bags, he looked like someone on death bed.

'He's fine at least doing better than you' Asher said placing the food on the study table

'Eat, Cian is no longer angry at you by the way I need to check on him' Asher said, he went to his room to grab his crystal and went downstairs. 'Take care of Clint' Asher said rushing out of the mansion.

'Where is he going?' Raymond asked

'Isn't it obvious' Sean said going inside.
