Maverick
It smells so sweet? Where am I? I feel very warm yet cold.
A hand falls on my chest caressing it gently. Her hand, a touch I know all too well. The softness of her fingers with the combination of scratches and calluses. Opening my eyes, a blurred image of her appears only to be clear. Her coil curls were longer grazing my bare skin. A neutral green silk covers her skin. A smile appears on her lips as she looks at me "You're awake. I made us dinner" with that said, she kisses my lips a couple times before getting out of the bed. Still confuse, I sat down at the table analyzing the room. The interior is wood orientated with vines and flowers growing through the wall and floor. Old cottage with new growth. A hazy light filled the room through the window. When looking down at table, I notice a gold band on my right finger with a star engravement on top.
Sloane places a plate of food in front me and kisses my cheek before sitting down across from me. Closing her eyes grabbing my hands praying, versing the proper scripture. All knowingly.
"Cooking improved?" I question looking at her and the ring on her hand that match mine but with a small ruby in the middle. She smiles eating some of her food 'Ha ha, very humorous of you" she jokes eating more. For an hour we talk about things only we would know, it feels too good to be true. Even after killing her father, I am here with her. I stare out of the window not paying to attention to anything else. In a second, Sloane stood in front me caressing my cheek, but I grab her wrist "this not right, I shouldn't be here with you right now. It's wrong" I claim looking away. She slides her other hand on my chest above my heart "Doesn't mean it can't be right. If it feels like this... Oasis is gone, and we can be happy... so let us be happy" she says hovering over my lips before our lips meet. Tasting the saltness off her lips mix with heavenly wine. By pushing me back onto the bed, she straddles herself on my lap leaving my neck to be her target. She smiles grasping my chin biting her bottom lip "plus, it's our honeymoon. Why not embrace a little fun hmm? Don't you wish you could have her this way?" she asks biting my lip causing blood show.
"Ahh" I grunt touching my lip. You're not Sloane. None of this is real. Foolish of me to even wish her. The not Sloane starts giggling biting her finger backing up away from me seductively. Everything around us began to change even her.
"Who would have thought the famous Maverick becoming so squishy?" the woman with dark green hair all the way down to the bottom of her back questions poking his cheeks before she stands next to a figure in the dark. Moonlight cascades the cell hitting the wet stones. Chains clinging my arms to a pole. Pain over my body.
I caused so much pain to everyone, even the ones I once called familia and the ones I hold now. Forget them, you still have me. Can I really act as if nothing has happened? Nothing I did was wrong? Coward. Trader. Liar. Murder. How can I show myself? I hurt her. I hurt them.
How can you? Look all the things you did! It will be hard to look the little princess in the eyes. Imagine all the hate and anger. You think she would ever forgive you? She fought for one thing that matters to her, and you had to strike down him in the heart. You are nothing without me so why not face it and come back to being someone with me?
"Get out of my head!" I yell trying to pull myself out of the chains.
The figure emerges from the dark corner. It him. "No, need shout. Oasis kept her end of the bargain to set us free. Do you seriously think that you should take all the credit? I mean I was the one mainly in control. Do you know how hard it is to regain consciousness so many late nights?" he continuously asks walking around the cell counting his fingers. He stood in front of me leaning forward into the light. I lift my head staring into my eyes; his eyes before asking "Let me guess, this is what Oasis promised, your body back. How can you stand here and not feel any shred of guilt for what we did to our own family?" Amir scoffs smirking to the side facing the light then back at me and replies "Father always favored you more. Praising you and criticizing me. Giving you this or that while I would get leftovers. Once mom died it very evident that he wanted just one son. Regardless of us being identical twins, you were always going to his son more than me. You were so busy being a good boy for dad to even look at me. Killing the man was piece of cake" he smiles grabbing my chin aggressively shaking my face. I turn my head to the side snatching it back and grit my teeth at him "Father loved us! You killed him and for what? A misunderstanding?"
"You want know what he said after Mama's funeral? Having a weak son is worser than two. Good thing we have your brother because this world is going to eat you alive. After father's experimental "accident”, she appeared to me when you were sleeping and gave me an offer that I could not refuse. Oasis will give me the real recognition I deserve." He was behind all of this? The nights I found myself in hotels, bar and alley ways with not full memory of me getting there. I always assumed that I was drunk. Marks all over my body. He got what he wanted.
"Matter a fact. You were the one that killed everyone by home and now, you've done the same. Witnesses have seen your actions. They will hate you. Curse your name. Remembering you as taker. Seeing the sickness that you bring to others. Father would proud of the man that you are today. I'll be leaving. Keep yourself company... I'm done being your shadow, Maverick. It's time that someone else takes control" and he leaves with the woman. In nearby cells were other prisoners of different backgrounds. Two guards stood in front of my cell. All I do is mess things up. My own brother. I failed. Tears start to run down my face and my body gets heavier making me sink to the floor. I slouch over closing my eyes as lunges tighten making it harder to breathe while the tear rush out heavily. I messed up big time. All the damage I done. The people I hurt. The lives that I have taken off a lie. I am the monster.
I wish the world will swallow me hole...
but that would be too easy.
