Eric, why are you here? I was looking at him and trying my hardest to keep my calm. It was almost impossible though, I could already feel all my secrets unfolding.
I know that I am the last person you ever wanted to see Damien, but I had to find you! Please, I have to speak with you. I am not here for personal reasons, the Elite knew that I was the only one who might be able to find you. They are calling a high priority meeting and as an Elite they need you there.
I don't care what those people want! I never wanted to be an Elite and I never wanted to have to deal with you again. Please go!
I suddenly remembered that my family was there and they had clearly heard that conversation. I turned my head and my mother was looking at me with a look of confusion and WTF clearly written on her face.
Damien who is that and what the hell is he talking about? You need to start explaining.
I tried to think of the most rational thing to do and I reached one conclusion, lie!
Mom, I don't really know what this dude is talking about. I turned to look at Eric and said as clearly as I could "I think he should leave"!
Eric looked back at me and narrowed his dark eyes. "Don't make me do this Damien".
I knew at that moment my mortal life was over, I tried my hardest to deny it all and live normally. I wanted away from it all, especially Eric. It was over!
Damien here hasn't been honest with any of you! Not only does he know who I am, he knows why I am here. He has been lying to all of you for quite a few years now and I think its time for the truth to come out. I mean this isn't even what you look like anymore!
Eric turned back to me and I could see a small glimpse in his eye and that glimpse told me he didn't want to do this. I have no idea if I read the look right, but I had no time to think on it. My family turned on me like wolves!
"What is he talking about"?
"What are you lying about"?
"How is that not what you look like"?
My mind started spinning, should I tell them, can I just run? All of these possibilities passed through my mind, but I just couldn't stand it anymore. I have been feeling alone and miserable for a long time now. I decided its time to tell the truth and fuck the consequences, I can try and clean up the mess later.
SO, YOU WANT THE TRUTH! YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH, WELL HERE YOU GO!!!!!
I closed my eyes and tried to tap into that spark of energy that I had neglected for so long. It was still there, my tiny, purple spark of energy. I reached and started fueling it again for the first time in years, It was like riding a bike and I jumped right back on it. I let the spark grow out of control and consume me, the fire was bright purple and consumed my body. I felt the changes happening, revealing what I look like now. I felt my body shrink down to the small, lean frame I kept hidden away; my hair grew a few inches and began to turn a silver whitish color; the most startling thing about my true appearance is the fact my eyes match the color of my fire, bright purple.
I knew that everyone was staring and panicking, I mean I was covered in colorful fire. As it began to die away and my true form appeared I saw my grandmother faint and my mother's face was just a mask of shock and aw. There was no way back now, I had to explain, everything. I looked over and Eric was staring at me with a look on his face that I wasn't quite able to interpret. It was soft and reminded me about the Eric I met all that time ago. The one I thought I was in love with. But, it vanished just as quick as it appeared. He stood there looking at me with a hard look on his face, waiting for me to start.
I turned to look at my family, some with horrified expressions and others with just confusion on their face. I sucked it up and began to tell my story about my past that I worked so hard to hide from them all.
