Chapter 36
To See Them Through Your Eyes
Dryan sat on the edge of his bed his encounter with what he knew was Sin & Death still on replay through his mind. He knew that if it had not been for Chay he would not have made it through the ordeal. He had noticed a strength about her that had not been previously there. A soft knock to his door brought his mind out of the murk it was in. Unlocking the door he opened it, to see Chay standing there her hand poised as if to knock again.
“You have visitors.” Turning around Chay headed to her room, and closed the door.
Making his way down the stairs Dryan headed straight for the door, looking through the peephole he saw that it was David and Blake standing outside.
Opening the door wide he waved them in. “Guy’s, what’re you doing here?” He asked while shutting and locking the door.
“Dude, remember, we’re going on a road trip together to from sea to shining sea?” David called out over his shoulder while going straight to the kitchen.
Dryan groaned. “I completely forgot.”
Blake turned to him closing the frig with a soda in hand, “How could you for...” Blake's voice drifted off as his gaze moved past Ryan, and focused on something or rather the someone who now stood behind him.
Turning to see what it was that had caused Blake to be so tongue tied; he was greeted with the sight of Chay standing at the kitchen entrance, in a new outfit than what she had been wearing earlier. She had changed into a pair of snug fitting jeans that sported a cross embroidered on the right pant leg. Her top was a V-neck tank designer tee, with the Omega symbol centered on the front. She, having pulled her hair back into a waist length pony tail.
Dryan had trouble taking his eyes off her, as he noticed a natural glow that emanated from her. Forcing himself out of the trance he began the introductions.
“Blake, David this is my fiancée Anna,” he said motioning for her to come closer, “Anna, these two clunk heads are Blake and David, their close friends of mine.” As she shook their hands Ryan could see it in her eyes, the confusion of, how could he choose to be close to two humans?
David was the first to recover from the shocking news, “Hey man, why didn't you tell us that you were engaged?” He said punching Ryan's arm.
“Yeah, some friend, you didn't even tell us when you got engaged.” Blake said scratching his head before he went on, “I thought you had a thing for-Oomph.” The man grabbed his mid-section a scowl on his face, as David retracted his elbow.
“Obviously that's not true seeing as he's engaged to Anna.” Though he said it, Ryan could see that David was just as confused as Blake.
But he was glad that he had stopped Blake from speaking anything further, thus saving Ryan from having to explain a lot to Anna.
“Look guys I hope you understand why I'm no longer going.”
“Of course we do, dude you're getting married. We understand completely.” Replied David, “Now, you are going to invite us to the wedding right?” Ryan mumbled something unintelligible under his breath. If only he could, but highly doubted that his parents would come to Loam for his unifying with Chay.
“I'll see what I can do.” Walking them to the door the three said their goodbyes, ending with Ryan wishing them the best on their trip before closing the door.
“You sure do like being around humans.” She cocked her head, “What is it that you see in them?” Ryan faced her, “Honestly I don't entirely know, it might be how they actually care for one another, or maybe I wish that I could be more like them,” he shrugged, “who knows. All I can say is there's something about them that makes me wonder what it would be like to truly enjoy life.”
Chay stared at him briefly studying him before she spoke, “There is a lot that has happened over these past weeks, some of which I know and parts that I do not.” Chay took a seat on the sofa, “I think it is time though that we had a real talk, I would like for you to tell me everything. The same as I shall tell you what happened during the Leith Moon.” Taking a seat next to her, Ryan gazed upon her quizzically but did not speak allowing her to finish, “But first tell me what happened when you first came to Loam till now, I want to see them through your eyes.”
