The day I let go

The price of freedom is steep, paid not only in sacrifice but in the courage to bear its weight and face what comes after. The bold pay their price with unwavering resolve, knowing that true liberty demands both strength and surrender.

Freedom isn't a walk in park which is why I know that there's more to the brothers story than Alejandro told me , if I can just find them, I'd ask them a few questions, maybe they are not happy , maybe they are sad actually or proud , no idea , I close my books and take a deep breath , I can literally feel my body its always stiff , if Damon were here he would tell me to loosen up , tell me I'm always uptight that I should accept freedom I laugh out loud forgetting I'm in the library " shhh" oops

" You shhh" I pack my things up , Stacy went on a date with Rami , yh you heard me and I feel like Ale is after Inéz, the poor girl won't know what hit her , same why I didn't know what hit me right now " oh I didn't see you " I bend down to pick my books but he places his hands on mine to stop me " I'll do it kocheshka"

" Damon "

" Miss me ? I see my brother has been running his mouth"

" You didn't want to tell me your name?" We both stand up and for some weird reason my hands still In his ... Okay it's not weird

" I was ! I wanted you to figure things out on your own "

" Why ?"

" Because you need it , and from the looks of it you still haven't figured it out"

" For a girl so smart you seem slow "

" I will make you choke on your saliva if you insult me " I glare at him

" Diana !! That monster within you isn't going to feed itself "

" Wha-t , "

" You heard me , I feel it , I feel it growing reckless and I see you using your friends problems to while away time , I see you socializing more with them wishing you would stop feeling it Kocheshka, but baby it's there and it's hungry "

" How do you .."

" I'm surprised your brothers haven't run their mouth about us "

" You ?"

" Ahh ! What is it they call us ? mm... The Rebels !" He whispered as he came to my back and held my shoulders " Don't tell me it wasn't obvious"

" I don't know "

" The moree you supress it, the more hungry it becomes" he whispers fingering my medallion

" What do you want from me ?"

" I want to you to experience freedom , all your friends and your brothers are slowly finding happiness and here you are stalling in the library Diana , I want you to live "

" I can't , there's too much at ris... "

" Woo wtf " I stare In awe as the shadows creep out from everywhere

" Forget the risks and come with me " still cautious about the shadows coming closer I push myself closer to him

" I .....call them off .. Damion "

" Anyone can pass now Damion please "

He sighs " fine , when you are ready you know where to find me "

" The forest or the fountain?" I whisper and he smirks " the Forests Kocheshka and he's gone with the shadows .

I reach my dorm and lay down waiting for them to return

" Waky waky !"

" How'd it go Stacy ?"

" It went well !! We watched a movie , he got me a teddy bear " .

" Rewine !!! My brother got you a teddy bear ?" Ew

" Well yes , and he kissed me ... Sorry I doubt you want to know that "

" Glad your brain functions well after your date "

" I'm backkk.. " Inéz walks in with a big smile on her face , I want to have one of those ,

I watch as Stacy bombards her with questions and they giggle

" Diana don't tell me nothing interesting happened while we were gone " Inéz sighs

" Trust me nothing worth telling "

" Why don't you let yourself go ... Even Inèz isn't as uptight as you "

" I can't "

" Even if it's for one day , do it for uss ""

" You know what you are right , I should at least live my life for a while , even if it's for a moment " .

" Yhh consequences be damned " I grab my coat .

" Where you going ?" They chorus .

" To let go ish "

And I run out into the forest waiting

" Damon !!! Damon "

" Damon ?"

" Great how foolish could I be " I laugh at my foolishness , I check the time " it's getting late"

" Haven't you heard ? Night times when all the fun starts " the shadows slowly creep out sending darkness all around me , and I lean back involuntarily into Damon's arms

" Glad you could make it baby " I don't ask why he calls me that , cause maybe I like it , I sigh out loud
