What Am I?

TJCJ

It was about five in the morning when I stopped and parked into a gas station parking lot. I got out and went to the bathroom. I guess even Angels sleep because Juna was out as well.

I refueled and got food for them all. I took a break as well, taking the time to enjoy the early sunrise.

I parked the Jeep somewhere else and shut it off before going for a walk as I drank coffee. I sat on a bench after a while, looking around. That's when I noticed the person walking towards me. I just kept an eye on them but acted as if I didn't even notice them. I took a drink and when they got close they sat beside me.

"Its a nice morning for a drive isn't it?" The person asked, not looking at me as he ate.

"Yes it is. But I rather take the break and enjoy the view." I replied, taking a drink.

"Yes. That is always nice as well."

"I use to do it every morning. Just sit outside and enjoy the sunrise."

"I heard a legend that said, 'The sunrise is a new door, a new adventure, a new journey, a new fate.'"

"Interesting. I must say I don't exactly believe it but it is very interesting."

"Yes. So is that pretty little Angel you have in your passenger seat Flimington."

"Na. She's just a unique girl. Nothing else, Micael(My-seal)."

"Oh come on, I know she's worth something. Maybe I could take her and put her up for sell. I'm sure she's great at something."

I growled then quickly brought out his sword and held it to his throat as I took a drink. "Technically I don't even have to defend her because she can easily do that herself but I will anyways. Leave her alone brother, I don't care what you think of me anymore. I have found my own path and I am taking it without you in the picture. Now, why are you here exactly? Because I know it's not just for the Angel in my Jeep."

"Well, aren't you just a Smarty pants eh?" He chuckled and looked at me. "Alright. So I'm not here for her completely. I'm here to talk to you."

"Talk then."

"Our father is dead."

I stopped everything and looked at him.

I didn't believe it. I honestly didn't believe it but at the same time I did.

"D-dads actually dead?" I stammered and he nodded. I slummed down a little and took in a deep breath. That old geser was finally dead. I mean, I didn't care that much because he favored Micael over me and treated me like shit but I just couldn't believe that old man finally died.

*************

I noticed that he was stiff and distracted but be also looked as if he didn't want to be bother so I left him be and watched out the window. Soon my family woke up and so did Gret. I passed them breakfast before looking out the window and went off into my own world.

So you finally decided to talk to me. Rude. I just might not talk to you. The beast stated in my mind.

I'll bribe Flim to grab you a Twinky and zebra cake next time we stop. I said to her.

Hm? Hmmm. Alright, make it two of each and those pink squishy cake things. She declared.

Done. I smiled.

Great. So what do you want to talk about. She asked.

I need something to keep distracted. I have nothing to do and Flim doesn't look as if he wants to talk at all right now. I said.

OK. She said then we started talking about random things to keep myself occupied.

**************

I jumped when a hand touched my shoulder. I looked back to see Gret's hand on my shoulder. I blinked at him then raised an eyebrow. Me and the beast were actually in a pretty cool conversation.

"Yes?" I asked as I looked at him.

"You should talk to Flim, he looks like he's in distress and tired." He whispered to me and I nodded before turning to Flim.

He did look distressed and tired. Guess he's been driving all night and half the day without even a wink of sleep. I tapped Flim's shoulder and he jumped and looked at me wildly. I motioned to pull over and he did.

"What is it?"

"You need to take a break Flim, you look tired."

"I am not."

"Yes you are Flim."

"No."

"Yes you are and you look distressed."

"I do not."

"Flim. I am not going to allow you to drive any longer until you tell me what's wrong and then get some sleep." I said, reaching over and shut it off before taking the keys out.

"But- oh fine." He got out and I climbed over into the drivers seat. He got into the passengers and waited for me. When I didn't do anything he looked over at me and raised an eyebrow then rolled his eyes and puffed. "I don't want to talk about it." He said but I still didn't do anything. He waited a minute then sighed. "Oh fine. I found out at dawn that my father is dead."

*************

She just blinked at me before looking down. "I'm sorry about your loss Flim."

"Don't be. He wasn't all that great to me anyways. He favored my brother over me." I said and looked out the window as she started it up and started driving again without another word. Her family didn't say a word but I could tell they wanted to. I just stared out the window and watched the scenery fly by.

It wasn't long before I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore and fell asleep. It wasn't something I wanted to do either. That old man cursed me when I was a kid that I'd have nightmares forever after he died about all the horrible things he had done to me. And so it wasn't a surprise that after a minute of being asleep the first one came.
