I woke up more early than I expected, it was still dark out. I decided to go outside and reflect on what happened. I go outside on the small balcony connected to my room, leaning up against the railing looking out at the vast garden. The full moon made my wrist get a tingly feeling, it was a beautiful night. I heard a door click beside me, I turn to see Diego come onto the balcony of Katie's room.
"You 2 having fun?" I ask jokingly.
"No, not like that." he said with a pause.
"You couldn't sleep either?" I question
"No, Iv'e been thinking, about Katie. She's nice and all, but she's 4 years younger than me." Diego thought aloud.
"She dosen't seem to have a problem." I said, stating the obvious. Although I never knew Diego felt like that about Katie.
"I've been thinking about the others too." He continued.
"Ok, what about Harry and Helen?" I ask, hoping he feels the same as me.
"There just to young." Diego choked.
"Yeah," I pause.
"There smart tho, they are from hearts."
"Yeah, and Katie's really hot, so that fits. I can sing, but I'm not as good as my prophecy says." he says looking up at the moon.
"Yes you are! Don't say that shit! At least you don't have too...." I stop, realizing what I almost said. He couldn't know what I had to do.
"You can do anything you want, with your tentacles. Henry and Helen are super smart, I'll just stay here forever" he starts
"What!?" I but in.
"I can't die, but Katie can. I just wish I knew what she did." he sighed
"I have some ideas." I murmur. He gives me a puzzled look.
"Her prophecy was to 'light the way', right? So she must have some sort of power like that." I state, he nods.
"Tell me, we know everyone's prophecy, but what's yours?" I straighten up, I couldn't tell him that I had to tell him that I had to resurrect the dead and create a kingdom of destruction?
"To save my kingdom, it was pretty vague, unlike all of yours." I say flatly. It was at this moment we could see the sunrise, I let out a deep sigh. I knew I would have to let Diego go, but did I love him to begin with, or was I scared of my best friend being with someone like Katie. I don't know. Then I heard Katie's alarm clock go off.
"Gotta go, Bye!" Diego called, beaming. I decided to go take a shower so the maid could wash my clothes, or at least my hoodie. I come out to see them neatly pressed on a chair, but it was the box on top that caught me off guard. I open the letter and it read,
I know we haven't met yet, but we will soon. You may not know me, but I know you and your friends all too well. I hope you like your gift kay, my angel of darkness ;).
I thought it was really weird that me, of all people, would have a secret admirer. Or that nickname, 'angel of darkness', what does that mean? Oh well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth I guess. I was pretty surprised by what I found in the box. A black lace bra with matching panties. I was really disgusted at the idea of a stranger giving me undergarments. Then they said they knew me, but I don't know them. My old underthings were still in the wash, so I decide to put them on. There wasn't anything suspicious about it, my old ones were trash anyway, and They looked cute. I finish getting dressed, put my hair in a ponytail, grab my backpack (now a little heavy with that book) and head downstairs. Everyone was already down there eating breakfast, and I wasn't really hungry. I sit down next to Harry and grab a piece of toast and a glass of juice. Diego had on jeans and a long-sleeved shirt, Harry a polo and kakis. Helen had a cute little dress, and Helen with her elaborate gown.
"Sorry I'm late." I said.
"It's ok," Little Helen responded.
"Somebody wanted to talk to you." she turned to Katie with a smirk.
"Oh, ok." I sigh, a little out of breath. Katie nods suggestively toward the doorway, I nod. What did she want to talk to me for?
we both stand and walk out, her long dress flowing. When we are out in the hall, she starts bursting into tears.
"I'm so sorry I treated you like that yesterday! Nobody's ever treated me like that before, I-I-I'm." she sobbed.
I put my hand on her shoulder.
"It's ok, you drama queen. You can like Diego if you want. Just play nice." I said soothingly.
She beamed up at me.
"Really!?"she exclaimed, I nod and I pull her into an embrace. She dries her eyes and mouths 'thank you' as we walk outside to the courtyard. Diego and Harry were shoving 5 green suitcases into a carriage, 4 blue, and 2 yellow. Finally, Diego stood back and admired their work.
"We're ready for your stuff, Kay." Harry said, looking up at me. I show him my backpack.
"Got it." I respond.
"Oh no! That will never do! Be back in 30 minuets!" Katie called, dragging me up to her room, she closed the door.
"I'll give you 3 outfits." She said disappearing into the closet. She comes out with a pair of jeans, jean shorts, and a short, black dress.
"You like?" she asked.
"Yeah, but-" I start
"No buts! It's the least I could do." She said, disappearing into her closet once again. The dress was lace and when I held it up it went down to my knees. The jeans were good, and the shorts had angel wings on the back, also good. Considering me and Katie are about the same size, even though I'm not a board like her. She appears again with a pair of running shoes, black high-tops, and black heels.
"Those shoes are trash." She says, flinging them off my feet.
"Try these." she said, giving me the high-tops. They fit like a glove. She runs back in. Not even a second later, I had a blouse, a black tee, and a white long sleeve. She put them in a red suitcase for me and we head down to the carriage. Color coordinated suitcases and all.
