Sweet Years

After my awesome birthday party, time flew by, Leila (65 years) and I (75 years) spent our remaining years in the house we bought near the falls. Our family and friends visited us there regularly. Peter and Sarah's kid is already a teen. Lillian and Melvin with their son already has his own family and wife expecting twins. Fun, right!...

While Leila is pruning our vegetation and fruit crops, I got tired a bit and sat down on the soil near my busy bun smiling at me because I was an old hag to her. Anyway, I felt good and just get tired easily lately, you know, growing old isn't really fun, you feel lots of muscle pains and arthritis can kill especially on cold or winter seasons, damn!. So I sat there with my book, hehe. Yup, still the I'm In Love With a Popstar one and wait, where was I again...hmm.. oh yeah, part 2 and oh no!, I lost the bookmark...Damn, I forgot where I was at, Leila was smiling and maybe thought she could help me with, so she moved to check on the pages and told me to read on here...Ahhh, okay. She mentioned that she has been reading the book and she took off the bookmark to read onwards, so she remembered where I stopped and the chapter is...

Chapter 10

Terry called me on my cell asking what is the matter and why I didn't contact them or join their rehearsals for our album. I didn't want him to know the truth and sound silly about this secret group. He would just tell me to die and ask if I have been drinking again. I told him that I just needed to run an errand for a relative and I'm not lying, this is a family matter and I believe that this is more important than my career as a singer. My ancestors were smart, royal and borne leaders. Aha, that, well I don't know, I'm far from being regal and has minimum ounce of class since I'm a rock star. That little finesse isn't my thing for I work hard, sing hard and fuck hard, hehe!, Yup, but I don't think my singing isn't really going to be of much help in leading a group or a world. Aha!, then I need to really need assistance on this part and Kat is here to do that for me. Babe, let's just get out of here and swim. The things I love here is their facilities and they do have a large swimming pool. Wow, as if we are joining a swimming tournament here, ahahha, try to catch me!, Alex said and swam before Kat. Kat was laughing and dived in to catch up with Alex who is running first. The pool area is secluded but it is protected by untainted glass side panels. You can see through the trees and nature outside of it. I 'm not sure where we are but it is a beautiful place where from where I'm standing I can see a falls, many trees and rainforests. I think I saw this one before, like a documentary on the Amazons. Hmm!, oh, my God, are we in the middle of the Amazon?. So as not to hurt the land, the REVO group made buildings alight, like they are hanging near the heavens. Large metal frame bars measuring thousands maybe are about hundreds of dozens holding the skyscrapers above land level.

The place is so cool because we can see the world up here and the beautiful sceneries. WOW!, the only thing I can say for now. I was still wet when Kat disturbed me by splashing water at my back to get my attention. I looked at her and laughed then dived in again to swim after her, who immediately scooted away so as not be caught by me. We played in the water for hours and loved It so much. We never thought that eyes were peaking not a bit far from the pool area. I felt that we are being watched so I told Kat to get off and eat at the diner near the room we visited earlier at the centre. That's what I saw first which caught my eyes really, even before we went inside the Leaders Private Lodge, as it says on the sign flashing at the door. I'm very hungry, my stomach is telling me now.

Mr. Pedro Pelaez is worried about Alex, someone tipped him that REVO soldiers were recently looking for her at the bar. He knows that Alex is the girl that they want to run the business of this secret organization. He is worried that Alex's life will be at risk and the danger living a life of a leader in this organization has ruined families, relationships and friendships all together. And Pedro doesn't want that to happen to his little girl Alex. His guys have been looking for her baby

girl and her wife Kat but they seemed to have vanished. Pedro spoke to Manager Kim, Terry and the rest of Alex's band mates, but she is nowhere to be found. Now he is definitely worried and scared that he would just find Alex and Kat dead in a gutter somewhere.

Alex felt a hard thump on her heart and it hurt her. Maybe her dad is looking and so worried about her now. So, she got her cell and texted him to tell him that she and Kat are fine. And they will visit him soon. They are just in Maldives spending time together since they needed to patch things up after their fight about the fan girls in the bar incident in Virginia.

Pedro sighed in relief and smiled. Ahh, my daughter is having so much fun with some smoochin' and sexin' with her darling. Haaa!, she really is a Pelaez, ha, ha!. Pedrito, on the other hand looked at his dad with remorse. He loves Alex as his sister but this growing fondness his dad has for her makes Pedrito hate her just the same because of outright jealousy. He remembers that Pedro always loves to side with Alex even if she is at fault in games or play times when they were younger. Pedrito feels angry whenever his dad smiles and treats Alex like a son than him. He is obsessed with Alex and Pedrito couldn't compete with her since she has it all. Now that she is becoming one of the most feared leader in the world, what would become of him. I must find a way to be known, so that my dad would recognize me and that I'm worthy to be called his son.

*Pedrito went out of their house while his dad is admiring Alex's baby pictures, again. He was mumbling and grumbling like a child about how pathetic his dad was and all. A dark shadow is seen coming up to him while Pedrito is seated on a bench at their garden with a lion king fountain in the middle. The shadow turned his way and became a whole person in a dark suit like a REVO soldier. It is the villain, Morgan, the shape shifter wizard who was known for his mischief in the olden days of the Montfort Royals. Though he is not that known to mortals, he was just a so called myth, but now a reality in this time and age. Hello, Pedrito, right?. You know we should change your name to Firo instead of that Mexican baby name your dad has given you. You are unappreciated, unloved and always not enough. So, I will give power which you will no longer feel less of a person and inferior amongst your peers, your family especially your dad. What?, who are you?, Pedrito said like he is being controlled by some invisible hallucinating force. I am Morgan, your wizard dad from now on.

Firo, because, starting from today you will be a man with this power. Ha, ha, hahahahahaahhahah!, the powerful wizard said while his hands are giving out energy to Pedrito. All his power are sort of being absorbed by Pedrito, who is white and blue and like lightning is striking with numerous and repetitive fiery volts which is unimaginable that he would survive it.

Pedrito lost consciousness and Morgan kissed his forehead giving him the mark of the devil which says, I am, then disappeared like dust blown away by the wind. Firo my child get up and do what you are told to do. You are now one of my slaves, my son and you will scout the world for lost souls who wander and want to escape from cruelty, hardship, poverty and racism. Pedrito who is now Firo got up and when he opened his eyes with fiery blood shot eye balls. His hands can create fire and his body can emit gas that turns himself like a burner that can ignite when he feels like it. Then, he can change to an ordinary guy when he thinks it, and change to become a powerful Firo when he thinks it just the same. Ha, Ha, what's this, I'm so....cool!, Pedrito said in awe. Thank you, da...dad!!!
