2. The Mark

The silence was diefening, all you hear was the sound of the insect the breeze of the wind coming from the forest mountain.

"Apo,we live in a world where not everything can be seen. Sometimes things are just .... hidden for a reason." she said grasping for air.

She hold me in my arm and pointed at my birthmark. "This is our mark...."

I got a little confused, It is my birthmark she's referring. I was always fascinated by it, its shape is like a swirl tribal that you saw in some hip-hop thugs, my friends always thought it was tattooed but actually it was a birthmark. It is small but very cool just like Nina my bestfriend said when she first saw it.

"This mark will be your protection and at the same time.... a key to enter .....our world. Our world is not for anyone to enter... You have to be careful for our world was beyond anyone can imagine ... When you reach 24 of age you have to be ready ..." she groin.

"Lola" I'm holding my tears but my eyes just keep on tearing. Really confused at what she was saying but I can't stop her. It's just like she is only hanging for the things she wants me to hear.

" I can't hold.... on, just remember that we are part of that world ...." that's the last thing she said and then she was gone.

I was confused at what my grandma was telling but I just don't mind it. What was on my mind was she in pain while saying all of those to me.

I cried and cried that everyone heard me. They rush back inside. After that all you hear was crying.
