Eternal Flame (Am I The Villain?)
"I don't believe you." I answer him with unusual calmness, trying to convince him that I know that he's just spewing bullshit to see me go crazy and that this is all just a sad, sinister joke. This can't be true.
"In fact, why should I believe anything you say?" Although I'm starting to question everything, he doesn't need to know that.
He just smirks, looks too proud of himself, and begins to walk backward, away from me.
"You don't have to believe me, darling. You'll see for yourself, soon. Very soon."
It sounds much like a promise of the unknown future that they stop my mind on the track. Goosebumps spread all over my hands and the back of my neck. A bad premonition clouds my heart.
What do you mean, soon? And how does he know?
No, wait. What's with him? Is he a fortune teller too, now? Am I supposed to believe his words, no question asked?
The fact that I'm considering any of his words is enough proof that I'm indeed going insane. And maybe I'm a tad bit desperate to find answers to all of this mess that's my life from the past few weeks.
He knows, and he's taking advantage of it. I'm not sure how he knows, but I'm pretty annoyed that he could sway me easily with a few words. I need to stay the hell away from this nuisance.
Just as I'm about to turn around and forget what he says, he decides to say something that I will remember long after my journey begins.
"In fact, never believe in anyone, Elena. Not even The One's above." the last word he says before he turns around and completely disappears from my sight.
His words leave me puzzled and speechless. I don't know what to think anymore. All of this new information only furthered my confusion. If any of what he says turns out to be true, then what's the meaning of this?
I don't know anything anymore. But I know what I need to find out first.
What in the world am I?
