Chapter 21

Hii , i know it s been a long time and im sorry , im really sorry , im just struggling with a lot of things for a long time now , and i feel shit , but i won t talk abt my problems bc this isn t abt me
lol

* then i walked in the kitchen part of the room (idk what to call it , apartament??) looking for something that we could eat , there wasn t much in the fridge or in any cabinets but i tought i would ask for they re opinion on what to eat once they woke up

* my back was facing the rest of the room while i was searching, then i heard a loud scream and when i turned back to see what it was, i saw Xiao standing there and something black was slowly covering his body

* i ran up to him trying to help him somehow but it was too late , i grabbed his hand trying to pull him out of whatever that was but it was no help , i knew Xiao wasn t feeling well already and i could tell that he was too weak in his state to even hold onto my hand tight enough

* when his body was fully coverd he just disappeard and left nothing but black dust behinde him that disappeard aswell after a few seconds

*i looked around and saw that Lumine was standing behinde me with a shooked expresion

* i fell to my knees in tears as i continued to look at the place that Xiao was before "w-why... why do i always have to lose everyone important to me... why is it all happening to me.. haven't i given enough... i have been trough so much since i got here... and now i lost the one person that kept me going on my journey... i wouldn t even be still here if it wasn t for him... why does it always has to be me...?!" I said between tears as i kept looking at the ground in pain

Lumine s pov :

* seeing my brother suffering like this made my heart break , i knew that it was all HER fault... but why did he even care so much for that guy.??
And even if i knew that he wasn t dead like Aether tought , why did she took him...?

* i walked to him and sat next to him as i put my hand on hid shoulder , he didn t even look at me ,he just put his hand over mine and held it tight as he continued to sob in silence

(Btw when i say "she or her" i mean the Unknown God bc i don t want to write it all again and again)

Aether s pov :

* "w-we have to do something... is he dead...?! W-what even was that?? I don t understand anything! I can t lose him... not again..." i said trying to hold back my tears
"i-i... i couldn t do anything to save him.. he was right here and i couldn t do anything!!"

* Lumine suddenly sopke "i ll be right back..!" and left in a blink of an eye out the door , leaving me alone

Lumine s pov again :

* i panicked and imediatly made a portal to get to her

* she wasn t surprised to see me , she knew why i was there

"Is there something wrong dear?" she asked as if she s innocent

- "what did you do..?! I told you to leave that Xiao alone at least until i can bring Aether on our side!" I burst out

"I think it was just in your toughts since i don t remember you telling me any of that."

- "why did you even needed to do so?!"

"Well you see , he was getting in the way."

- "and you decided to do so without letting me know first?!"

"Do you really think you re that important?" She then laughed amused by the situation
"Listen here. You re not as important as you think you are , so don t think you can just tell ME what to do!"

- "don t act like you don t need me , you know that you need me for your plan.!" I said trying to calm down my anger

"I don t know why i can t control you re stupid brother so this can be all easier but even so , i ll make sure he won t make it out alive if he tries to stop me , and you have to convince him not to... or maybe you want to see what will happen?" A smirk spread on her expression for a slight second

- "i-i know... i will take care of it... just... don t do anything to him... please..." 

"Well then.. is there anything else you need? Because i don t have all day to listen to you!"

- "no... nothing else.." i then left without another word and ran back inside to my brother who was now laying on the bed under the covers

* i slowly aproached him and put the blanket that was over him away , he didn t bother to look at me

* "where were you....?" He asked , his voice breaking as he spoke

* "i.. need some air.." i lied to him with the worst excuse i could think of , he must be thinking why i left him aline when he need me there

* "w-what do i do.... i-i..-" he suddenly stoped and looked down ,closing his eyes tight ,holding back the tears that he held for some time now

* "i just want him back.. he was there for me when i needed someone the most.." he then turned to me and looked at his hands
"Y-you don t know what i had to go trough while trying to find you... days were sometimes painfull and there were days were i didn t wanted to try anymore.. i was so tired... of everything.. i even wanted to...- nevermind that... b-but i mean it was hard... and i was happy that i finally found you... and that is all thaks to Xiao.. and i don t want to lose him... not for anything... b-but what if it s too late..? What if he s dead already?! I need him... my whole life started to depend on him for 3 months now.. i mean that all the meaning in my life was from him... i was starting to give up on everything else.. im sorry... but it s been so long... i didn t tought id ever find you again... but he helped me to keep on going..." his voice was weak and sad , he sounded lifeless , i ve never seen him in a state like this...

* 'he.. loved Xiao... well- i should ve saw that a little earlier.. now it s too late... ' i tought to myself

Hiii
It s been a long time , ik , sorryy
But i finally got the motivation to go on so yeah , also i know that the whole Unknown God and Aether and Lumine thing doesn t really makes sens , because it s conplicated , i don t understand it either hut please just don t think much abt it
