Dogmatic Souls : Refusal
It was a calm night , the silence was filling the room.
He was sitting at the table with both hands folded hand to his mouth ,
Right in front of the long side of the table there was a sofa , on it a dog was sleeping peacefully , emitting from time to time some yelps , she was dreaming.
He smirked thinking about what she was dreaming of. Probaby about keep chasing her favourite meal , or to play with another dogs.
While it was night he could think better. The darkness and the nocturnal silence were like a bless from the god for him.
Only were the light fade to black , his mind became clear and more energic. And so his body. He was the nocturnal type.
He was reading a book called "Mind programming by Eldon Taylor" he was appasionate of this kind of book.
He had purchased many kind of similar book like " Sun Tzu: the art of the war." or another from a famous writer called George Kohlrieser. However he readed the italian version of the book since he was italian too "La scienza della negoziazione."
Be Italian was one thing he hated and loved at the same time.
He always appreciated the culture and literature. But somehow he was disusted by his country. Disgusted by the way how most young were raised, spoiled and pampered.
And how justice was unfair...especially there.
They will remain rotten for the rest of their lives. Immature until some tragedy occur waking them from their childood.
But every place in the world have his rotten apple.
He tried to change , he really tried to...
When you killed me again and again and again and again...
There was always someting wrong with him. Therefore he continues to seek his own flaws, however it doesn't matter how much he tried to , there was always something that he didn't understand , something he missed.
That was one of the reason why he decided to read that kind of books , trying to get more knowledge as possible. But one thing was theory , another was practice.
He lacked the experience. Probably that was the main problem. "Ok...just a few minutes outside , then i'llgo to bed." he said with a reisgned expression raising form his seat and heading too the huge balcony.
The dog hearing the noise of him leaving the main room opened her eyes before stretching a little. In other occasion she would have followed him outside but she was to lazy to do that. Wherever he went , she was behind him. Knowing he was not going to leave , she remained calm and returning to slumber.
The balcony was made to accomodate many guests , especially during the summer when many he had the occasion to invite his friends.
He walked under the moonlight felling the smell of the nocturnal air filled with moisture , very pleasurable for him. He sat down leaning his back against the wall.
He let out a heavy sigh enjoiyng the company of the night. Sometimes considered himself an old man , even if he's real age was just 19.
Heck he was still young! He should have hang out with friends , travel , meet new people , finding a girlfriend.
Free from the burden to despeair, the burden to care...
Instead he preferred to search for knowledge , for a way to grown. In the past that would be a simple excuse to quit studying , but now it was a reason to keep going forward. To resist.
He had got any ideals , just the determination to react for whatever life has to throw at him.
He looked up contemplating the starry sky .
"Mmh?" he watched curiously the light of the moon becoming more and more bright , feeling strangely attracted from that he got up from the wall watching the shining of the moon growing even more.
That was impossibile , if that was true they probably would be already by now. So...what else could that be?
He made a step forwards watching the moon in awe not thinking anymore. "What...what is..." suddendly his vision began to blur and his body started to feel weak.
To avoid falling to the ground he turned to the wall putting his hands forwards , he stopped noticing the transparency of these
His eyes went wide with a mad glitter letting out a scream "NO!" sending a wave of rage all over his body the fading seems to stop.
He started breathing heavily finally calming down-
"Ok...what hell just happened?!" he thought. Glancing at the light of the moon he noticed that the light was trembling vigourosly , like a light bulb.
"Mmm...sister? He broke my spell somehow." a feminine voice echoed in the night with uncertainity in her voice.
"What spell?" he said with he said with a darker yet venomous tone
"He can ear us!" the voice screamed "Sister what do i do?!"
"Do insist sister, keep summoning him." another being spoke , this one seem to be a female too , she replied in a firm voice prompting her "sister" to continue "summoning" him.
He was suddendly overwhelmed by a sensation of fatigue falling to his knees , he was confused. "This is madness! What the f*** is happening?!" he thought feeling panic in his body.
He was too shocked to notice that the moonlight was illuminating him like a beacon in the darkness with a cold white light. Sooner or later someone would surely noticed the strange activity of the moon.
If it wasn't already noticed.
His body was drained from all his strenght falling completely to the ground in fetal position , his eyes began to close slowly , he raised his left hand bringing it to his face , seeing that his trembling hand was becoming evanescent again.
All his body was fading "I almost made it sister! Thou shall be proud of us!" she exclaimed with enthusiasm
"He he i don't think so." his eyes widened with a mad glitter. He rolled putting his hands to the ground slowly rasing up with a wicked grin on his face.
"S-sister h-hes fighting the spell back!" the voice bagan to panic.
"I'll help you sister...Cadence you too!" the second voice seems to be in charge.
"Of course auntie.Just...don't hurt him okay?" this one , a third female , agreed with a hint of concern in his voice.This one seems to be more sweet and caring than the others two , at least less strict , for some reason it made him fell warm.
This one made him think. Why these three would have care for him in the first place , since they were "summoning" him?
Immediately he felt a rush of pressure , losing again his strenght "This cannot be..." suddendly he greethed his teeth "...like hell i will give up!" he managed to get up but his body didn't stop fading , it was exhausted but not less determinated.
"ALEX!!!" he turned his head in shock hearing his father calling his name making him loss focus , even the dog wake up and ran outside scared from the scream full of rage of the father.
"What the hell are you doing outside!?" he was truly enraged"Tomorrow you have..." his rage died when he saw his son under the intensified moonlight
"to go...to..." the fear began to increase when he saw his evanescent body
"Alex!" he went to his son trying to hold him but instead he past throught him like a ghost.
"..." both were full of shock , Alex could just wacth at his father that was on the verge of crying.
"..." he do not know what to do or say , and eventually al his body started completely disappearing , beginning from the legs.
The last thing his father saw , were the eyes of his son wide open. And then, literally , he just disappeared.
The moon started to change back , and the night returned as her normal state , bringing the dark with her.
The father just remained there , with shocked expression not knowing what has just occurred , he wanted to scream.
He wanted to know what happened to his son.
But there was nothing of him anymore...
