CHAPTER 5

—  

I stopped in the parking lot of Alouette's Feral bar, my lips parted as I wandered the exterior, it's beautiful and kinda private to look at. 

I sighed and went out in my car, I decided to call Dysthe's number, I sighed heavily as I lean on my car. 

:Hmm, Hello? This is Demetra Homer, I'm outside the bar, in the parking lot to be exact.

I put my phone away as I heard a loud music. 

[Hello! Demetra?! Just go inside and you'll see as you enter, just give your identification card to the bouncer, they're kind strict!]

:Okay, thank you!

I ended the call and head to the entrance of the bar, the bouncer looks at like he's waiting for something, I look at him in a confused manner. 

"You're card," the bouncer said. 

My eyes widened, "Oh, I'm sorry," I apologize as I took my card in my bag .

I handed it to him, "Demetra Homer," he said, his eyes widened and bow a little, "Welcome to Alouette's Feral Bar, Ms. Homer," he said, I smiled at him and picked my card in his hand. 

"Do you know Dysthe Homer? Is she here?" I asked politely. 

He nods at me, "She went here, I just don't know if she's still here," he said, I nod at him. 

"Thank you," I uttered and when inside, I sighed as loud music and smokes greeted me,  I hate smokes, damn. 

I roamed to find the girl am I talking to, I saw someone waving her hands on me, I walked towards her.

"Demetra?" she asked,  I nod at her, "You're Sachzna?" a

She smiled and lend me Dysthe's phone, "This is your sister's phone, I tried to look for her but I can't see her," she said. 

I beamed at her. "Thank you so much," I uttered.

She glanced at someone, "This is Dysthe's twin," she said to the girl beside her. 

She smiled at me so I did the same thing, she raised her hand, "Hi, I'm Balerie," she said. 

"Demetra," I said, she raised her hand in front of me, she's asking for a shake hands, I accepted her hand. 

"This is the first time I saw you...  I mean here, you rarely go the bar, while your twin is always here," she muttered. 

My forehead wrinkle at what she said, "Ahm, what do you mean? My sister is always here?" I asked. 

She nods at me, "Yep, she's with Boone's group of friend, I think she's dating Boone Barnette," she stated. 

Boone Barnette? Who's that? It's the first time I heard that name. 

"Ahm, how many times did you see her here?" I asked. 

She shrugged at me, "For sixth times? Last Wednesday, I saw her here, I was shocked cause  she still have a class that time," she said. 

I pursed my lips as I stared at her. "How did you know that—"

"My friend is her classmate, I was waiting for them here because our professor dismissed us early and then I tried to call my friend, I told them they're fooling me because Dysthe is here already but then, they said that she's been absent for two days." Balerie said. 

I swallowed hard, I look at her intently, I want to know if she's lying but then I saw how she told it without even stopping or stuttering. 

What the hell? Is this true? Why would Dysthe do that?

I sighed and shrugged, "Ahm, thank you for giving my sister's phone safe, please excuse me," I said. 

They smiled at me, "Okay, take care, try to search for her upstairs, they have a lot of rooms here and I wasn't able to check it," Sachzna said. 

I nod at her, "Thanks," 

I pursed my lips before I roamed around and tried to find my sister, it took me half of an hour to search from here in the first floor, I decided to go upstairs at what Sachzna said. 

I exhaled sharply as I felt a fresh air, the second floor is the opposite of ground floor, it's peaceful here and just chill, the people downstairs are so wild and energetic.

My eyes wandered the place as I tried to find Dysthe, maybe she's searching for her phone, right? Her phone is very important to her.

While walking, I saw some of people who is looking at me, I shrugged and went to a group of friends in the right corner, they're in a round table. 

"Excuse me, I'm Demetra Homer," I said, I bit my lips as they stared at me, they were just looking at me like I'm some kind of a weird person. 

I shook my head, "I just want to ask if you saw my sister, Dysthe Homer," 

"We're not a lost and found, Ms," the girl said, she has a curly hair, she raised her brow to me. 

I beamed at her, "I'm just asking, you don't have to be sarcastic," I said in a nice way, she was about to say something when a man beside him pulled her, he kissed her in front of me. 

I pursed my lips and exhaled sharply, my gazed turns to the bag beside the girl in a white crop-top, they're eight people in the table, five girls and three boys. 

"That's my sister's bag," I said. 

"What?"  someone asked, I look at the girl with a full bangs, she's the who one who asked. 

"Is she here? Can I see that bag?" I asked.

I glanced at the boy whose sitting comfortable and looking at me, "She's with Boone, you should go home and just sleep on your house, you look like a kid," he said. 

"Where are they?" I asked, I don't have time for them, we need to go home first before dad, Dysthe will be doomed if dad found out that she escape. 

"They're in room 813 at the left side, just go straight and you'll see it," the man with a piercing said, he looks like a bad guy but the way he talked to me, he's nice. 

"Thank you so much," I said before I followed the instruction he said, I stopped at room 813 and knocked. I'm just waiting someone to open it but it didn't happen. 

I held the door, it's not locked. I sighed heavily before I decided to open it, my eyes widened as I gasped, what the f**k!

They both look at me, Dysthe eyes widened as she saw me, she immediately got up in man's lap, "D-Demetra, what are you doing here?" she asked nervously. 

I linked my lips and swallowed hard as I stares at her, she looks like a messed right now, her lipstick is smudge and the strap of her dress was... f**k. 

"What are you doing, Dysthe?" I asked emphatically. 

"I asked you first, Demetra. You shouldn't be here," she said. 

I glanced at the man beside him, I pursed as he stares back at me, he aura shouts danger, his looks defined what trouble is.

The man raised his  brow at me, I glared at him and turn to Dysthe, she's fixing her dress and wiping her lips.

"Let's go home, Dysthe," I said to her, she looks at me with her vulnerable eyes, she looks nervous.

"How did you know that I'm here?" 

I shrugged, "Let's talk when we get home, we need to rush or we'll be both f****d up," I told her as I look at my watch. 

It's already eleven thirty in the evening, fudge.

Her eyes widened in a sudden realization, "Why did you go here? Damn, you should have go home!" she exclaimed.

"Drop it, let's talk in our house, we really need to go home before dad went home," I said as I picked her sweatshirt.

Dysthe went to the bathroom to change her clothes, I took a glimpse to the man whose sitting comfortable on the couch. 

He smirked at me, "So you're the nice twin of Dysthe, hmm," 

"Who are you?" I asked. 

He shrugged and lean on the couch while he's looking at me intently, "Boone," he said plainly. 

My forehead wrinkle, "How old are you?" 

He looks mature, I think he's older than us, wait... is he the guy that Dysthe is talking about? It can't be right? 

"Hmm, why do you want to know," he replied while smirking playfully at me. 

I frowned at him, "Are you studying in UST?"

"Hmm," 

"I don't know what's your relationship to my sister but don't go too far, and please, don't be a bad influence to her," I said frigidly. 

"What a good sister you are, but I don't like the way you talk to me," he said and stared at me, his eyes darkened while looking at me. 

I swallowed hard and stared back, "Maybe because your guilty, my sister never skipped her class and now I just found out that she did," I said with irritation. 

He stood up and I was intimidated on how tall he is, I am also tall but he made look like I'm not. 

"Hmm, it's not of your business anymore, whatever we are doing, you should leave it to us and mind your own damn business," he said coldly, I winced at him. 

"It's my sister, you don't expect me to just watch her—"

"It's your sister and not you so better step out," 

My face crumbled in annoyance, "You're not good for her," I said, I look at him from head to toe, everything about him screams trouble and danger, I can feel it, Dysthe is in trouble right  now. 

I'll talk to her when went home. 

He walked towards me so I immediately took a step backward, "What the hell are you doing?" I asked as he keeps on stepping forward. 

I stopped when I felt the walk behind me, "Just stop right there,"  I said, he smirked and cornered me with his hands. 

I glared at me, I felt my heart hammered in nervousness as I stared in his eyes, he has a brown eyes and it is dark.

"You have a soft voice, are you trying to seduce me, hmm," he said as he moved closer to my face. 

I held her shoulder and pushed him a little, "What the hell are you doing! i***t, step back!" I yelled in annoyance. 

I saw how his muscles flexes, I turns back at him and I swallowed hardly as I saw his eyes, I'm not dumb, the way he looks at me, it's desire and lust. 

"Damn that hands, it looks so small but it feels good, huh." he said, I glared at him as I remove my hands on his shoulder. 

"What the f**k are you doing, huh? Do you know that what you're doing right now can be considered as cheating," I told him. 

He took a step backward and smirked at me, "There's nothing to be cheated on," he said as he turns at Dysthe who just came out. 

She looks at us, her eyes darted on me, "Are you okay, Demetra?" she asked worriedly, I nod at her. 

"Yes, let's go," I said as I composed myself. 

She moved her gaze to the man named Boone, "What did you say to her?" she asked while her brow furrowed. 

Boone shrugged and went to Dysthe, he held her waist in front of him so Dysthe's back is facing me while I can see his face clearly. 

"You're going home already?" he asked at her, his voice is still cold, he has no emotion after all. 

I pursed my lips as I look away, I'm not used at seeing things like this. 

"Yes, dad will get mad, it is okay if I'm just alone but Demetra is here, I don't want her to scolded," I head Dysthe said. 

"Hmm," the guy said, all should I say Boone?

A seconds passed when I didn't hear anything so I decided to look at them and I just gasped when I saw them kissing, my lips parted as I saw Boone's eyes looking at me, I exhaled deeply and closed my eyes. 

What the f**k?

"Let's go," Dysthe said with a smile shown in her face, she's now in front of me. I bit my lips as I noticed her happy face. 

It's so rare to Dysthe, she rarely smile and laugh... and now I'm seeing it because of the guy whose standing feet away from us. 

I nods at her, "Alright, Dysthe. Let's go," I uttered to her, before I can finally went out I glanced at him and I saw him looking at us with his dark eyes. 

I shrugged and followed Dysthe, she stopped in front of the people I talked to a while ago. 

"You look like a good and proper woman, hmm, is it because you're sister is here?" the girl with a curly hair said. 

Dysthe smirked at her, "Don't be deceived by my face, Porlsen, I can even break your jaw right now," 

The girl pursed her lips and rolled her eyes on Dysthe but she kept her mouth shout, I look at the guy with a soft figure, he looks like a good man, he has thin lips as he smiled at me. He's the one who told me the direction.

"Stop smiling at my sister, Vash." Dysthe said, the guy chuckled.

He shook his head as he look at Dysthe then back to me, "I can't help it, she looks like an angel that was sent from above," he said, I chuckled at him. 

Dysthe looks at me and frowned, "Don't be fooled by his looks, Dems. He's the opposite of his looks," she said but the guy named Vash shook her head to her. 

"I'm not Boone, Dysthe." the guy said. 

"Shut up," Dysthe said and picked her bag, she went back to me, "Let's go," 

When we went out, I glanced at her, "Did you brought your car?" I asked, she shook her head. 

"Boone fetch me," she said and head inside the car, she went to the front seat of my car, I sighed and decided to drive. 

I stopped in our parking lot, I glanced at Dysthe, she fell asleep.

"Dysthe, we're home," I tapped her cheeks a little, she slightly open her eyes. 

She yawned and sat properly, "Is dad's here already?" she asked.

I shook my head, "No, his car is not here yet, we should go upstairs before he come home," I told to her, she nods at me.

When we enter the house, I saw mommy seating on the couch in the living room, she smiled at me but her it dropped immediately when she looks at Dysthe. 

I turn to Dysthe, she's avoiding mommy's stare too, what's wrong? 

"Hey, mom," I said and hugged her, "I'll just go upstairs to change my clothes," I said, 

She nods at me, I glanced at Dysthe worriedly, she smiled at me and shook her head. "I'm fine," she  mouthed to me. 

I sighed and went upstairs, "Mommy doesn't get mad easily, maybe she just wants to talk to her," I whispered to myself. 

I quickly ran to my bed as I enter my room, I'm really more comfortable to stay in my bed than to go on parties, this is my comfort zone. 

It took thirty minutes before I stood up and decided to take a bath, while I'm soaking my body in the bathtub my phone rang. It's Kyla. 

[Are you home already?]

I smiled. 

:Yes, I'm sorry I forgot to text you, I went home one hour ago. 

[That's alright. We're still here, it's so fun! Piloer is already drunk after six shot for the hell sake!]

I laughed because of that, Kyla has a high tolerance in alcohol so I'm not worrying when about her getting wasted, besides Hexon is there.

:She's still not used at drinking, it's her first time. Just take easy on her, you alcoholic ass.

[Well, right! By the way, what happened? Did you saw Dysthe at the bar?]

I sighed and closed my eyes as I remember, my lips parted as the eyes of the guy went inside my mind. 

:Yes, I don't know what's happening, Kyla. I feel like she's in a big trouble but when I saw her face a while ago,  it looks so happy and I rarely see that.

[What do you mean she's in trouble? She looks happy? Why do you mean, Dems?]

:I found out that she's been skipping her classes this past two day and... I saw her making up with a man, and the guy looks so dangerous, in just one stare and you'll know that he's not good for her. 

I bit my lips, my heart hammered rapidly as the incident flush to my mind, it's not good. I'm worried for my sister.

[Dysthe has a boyfriend? What? I mean, Dysthe is very focus on her academics, she never skip her class before,]

:Right, that's what I am talking about. There's something different in Dysthe's aura, she acts different around him, she's sweet. 

I heard Kyla gasped and I want to do the same but I already recovered from my shock a while ago. 

[Dysthe? Sweet? Are you serious? It's unbelievable!]

:I know, that's my point. I'll talk to her tomorrow, I need to know what's happening about her. 

[You better do that,]

:So? What time will you go home?

I asked to change the topic, she chuckled. 

[I'm not going home, I'll sleep here, Hexon has a room reserved for me,]

:Okay, take care and don't drink too much, okay? I'm sleepy already. 

[Sleep well, Dems. I'll just text you after the party,]

:Right, enjoy!

I ended the call. I got up from the tub, I'm want to rest already, while wiping body my phone rang, my forehead furrowed when I look at the caller. 

Unknown number, I think it's the person who called me last time, but why is he calling me in this hour? Dysthe already has her phone, I gave it to her a while ago in the car.  

I wore my bathrobe and answered the call. 

:Hmm? I think you're calling the wrong number, Dysthe has her phone already, you can contact her. 

[I don't think I'm calling the wrong  number,] 

My eyes turned round as I heard the man's voice, wait, I think I heard it already. 

:Who's this? Do you need something?

[Nothing,]

I frowned, is this guy tripping me?

:Then I'll end the call—  

[This is Boone Barnette, save my number,]

I gasped, what?

:Why are you calling me? and I would save your number?

[Just because, you'll need me,] 

He said, even in the call I can hear remember his dark eyes and playful smirk. 

:Stop messing up with me, I'm gonna talk to my sister about what happened. 

[Hmm, do you think she'll listen, you don't even know what's happening in her life,]

:What are you talking about? 

I asked, he's making me confused, I always make sure that I'm updated in my sister's life. 

[Just save my number, hmm, Demetra,]

I swallowed hard as he mention my name, he made it sounds s****l, or it is the way he said it?

:Don't call me, again, okay? 

I said and ended the call immediately, I sighed as I felt  my heart beats fast, I don't know but I can literally my heart being nervous whenever I'm talking to him. 

Is that because of his voice or aura?

I sighed and wore my pajamas, when I went to my bed I fell asleep in just a second. 

I groaned when I felt my bed moves, I open my eyes and saw Dysthe sitting beside me, she smiled at me, "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" she asked. 

I shook my head and sat, "No, it's fine. What happened? It's already... three o'clock in the morning," I said to her as I glanced at the clock.

She sighed heavily, I held her hands as I saw her eyes, it's vulnerable, "Hey, what happened?" I asked worriedly. 

"Mommy got mad, I don't know why but she suddenly acts cold, she just told me that I should know what I did wrong before I can talk to her," she uttered. 

I pursed my lips, "Did you do something wrong? Mommy won't get mad easily, we both know that," I said to her. 

She shook her head, "I don't know," she said. 

I look at her, "I heard something," I mumbled, she looks at me and her forehead wrinkle. 

"What?" she asked. 

I sighed heavily and look into her eyes, "You're skipping your class?" I asked, I saw how she immediately avoid my gaze. 

"Dysthe..." 

She shook her head, "Who told you that?" she asked in low voice. 

"Does it matter? I just found out that you're going to bar more frequently, what's happening?" I asked. 

She stood up, "I just want to relax and unwind, is that wrong?" she asked, she's avoiding my eyes.

"No, there's nothing wrong if you want to relax, Dysthe. I also wants you to unwind but not this way," I said softly. 

She scoffed, "I found comfort in this, Dems. Whenever I'm in that place and I'm with him, I felt so happy and secured, it just something that the school and this house can't give," she said, I exhaled deeply. 

"Our house should be a home for me, but I can't feel it, every time that I am here... I felt suffocated and exhausted, I just want to leave," she added. 

"Dysthe... I understand what you feel, but don't forsake you studies, I know how much you love it, maybe it's just a sudden feelings that made you feel so overwhelmed but... it maybe temporary," I said. 

She looks at me seriously, "What is temporary, Dems? I'd rather choose this temporary so I can say that even at once, I'll tell to someone that I became genuinely happy," she said and turned around. 

I was left dumbly-founded, I was about to follow her so I can talk to her more but I was shocked when mom went in. 

"Mom..." I whispered. 

She smiled at me, "You're okay? You look so shock to see me," she said. 

I beamed at her wearily, "Did you heard it?" I asked. 

"Yes," she said softly, mom sat beside me, the side when Dysthe was seating a while ago .

"I'm sorry—"

I look down when mom held my hand, "Don't feel guilty when you can't do anything, Demetra. It's not your fault, it just what she felt, she's not happy and it's fine to feel that way,"

"I don't know what to do, mom," I said to her. 

"I don't know what to do, Demetra. But, I'm trying my best to give her the comfort but I think someone gave it to her already," mommy said, I look at her and I want to cry, she's too good to be true and I can see pain in her eyes.

"Mommy..." 

She smiled at me, "Dysthe is a strong woman but also weak, she's using her attitude as her defend mechanism so no one can ever see her fragileness, her soft spot. I'm trying to guide her, so just be there for her if she needs someone, just try to understand her," she said as she caressed my hand. 

"What about dad? He'll get really mad," I uttered to mom. 

She smiled sadly at me, "I hate it," she said, my lips parted when I saw mommy's tear, she wiped it and smiled at me. 

"Mom," I whispered as I felt my heart pinched, she's rare to cry. 

"I'm fine, I just can't believe that he first that came from your mind is your father's wrath instead of him, worrying, it shouldn't be like that, Demetra, I'm sorry," mommy said and held my hand tightly. 

"It's not your fault, mommy," 

She shook her head, "Don't worry, everything will be alright, I'll make sure of that," she said and kissed my forehead.

"I love you, mom," I told her. 

"I love you too, baby, " she said before she went out. 

I smiled painfully as I watched her walked away. You're like her mom, you're like Dysthe, the only difference is... you're using your kindness as defend mechanism to cover up your pain and it hurts.
