Brawlii

Day 30:

Angile walked into the backyard while I was playing with my siblings. Oivhure amongst us. When he saw Angile he immediately ran over towards her. He didn’t even hear mother call him over anyways. All he saw was Angile. I shook my head in exasperation. It was then I knew with certainty that they were both going to be hurt drastically.

Oivhure told mother once again to call him Crennik, which she had never, nor will ever do. That is not his name. I could tell by the look on Angile’s face that Oivhure had never told her his real name.

Mother than called us all over and Oivhure introduced us. He introduced her as the love of his life. Thankfully, father almost immediately reprimanded him for something so silly he didn’t really understand. I wished, for her sake, that she would leave all ready. The less time she spent around my brother would be for the best.

My sisters had many questions for her. I had not even one. I didn’t speak a word to her the entire time. I simply stared at her knowingly. I needed to take action. No one else was going to. I devised a simple plan. I would just confront Angile with little information that would make a shocking impact upon her. She didn’t need this.

After a while I could see that my staring made her highly uncomfortable. Still, I did not stop. I had to figure out why her, out of all people, Oivhure would pick. He couldn’t just wait to meet a nice, age appropriate girl of his own. Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. I could see he had little thought of how everything might turn out. Even with my word, and I could see the future! It was a long night.

Day 31:

I stared at her a long while before I made my move to say something. I needed to speak carefully. I approached her cautiously with her back turned to me.

“He is not who he says he is,” I said standing from her doorway.

“Veqivette?” she asked, looking slightly confused.

“Yes,” I nodded, “and I’m telling you, he is lying to you.”

“Who?”

“Oivhure,” I could see by the indignant look on her face that she thought I was mistaken, which I definitely wasn’t.

“He gave me proof,” I tried not to laugh at the lie her proof was.

“I can give you the same proof,” I told her truthfully, although by the looks of it she thought I was lying.

“Only Crennik knew those things.”

“I know them too.”

“He told you then.”

“Ask him,” she was a thick headed one.

We stared each other down for quite a long time.

“If I ask him if you know anything, and he tells me you don’t, I will come too see you.”

“I’ll tell him I saw you today and you asked me to ask him to come over because you have a special dinner planned. Then, I will see you at 7 in the morning, in the garden at my house. Go through the back, and don’t let anyone know you’re there,” my plan went as smoothly as planned. I knew she wouldn’t really believe me. She would though. She would soon.

I went back to my house, to my room, to organize my thoughts. This was the trickier part. I knew I could make her believe me, but I had to present what I had to say just right, or else there would be some issues. It was when I was thinking of this that I had a new vision. A startling vision that brought forth much clarity. I can’t go into the particular details now, but it will soon be apparent as to what I saw.

Day 32:

She was there at exactly 7 in the morning, just like I knew she would be. I stepped into sight.

“I told you,” I told her calmly.

“How did you find out? Does he have a journal or something?”

“You don’t even know what I know.”

“Tell me.”

“Ask me anything.”

“What is my secret?” she actually thought I wouldn’t know.

“Svuccil Hyeelik,” one name, and she knew the truth.

“I’m right, and you know it. Oivhure is a fake.”

“But... why?”

“You are beautiful, you are talented, you are interesting. He is insecure. This way, he could have someone who always loved him, and he wouldn’t lose you.”

“How? How could he, and you, both know things that only Crennik and I knew?”

“Every Brawlii has a gift. Mine is to see into the future, his is to see into the past. We just but have to look at a person to see their past and future.”

Day 33:

I truly felt bad for Angile, her heart was broken. Even mortal eyes could see that. I didn’t feel bad for Oivhure. He abused his gift seriously. If the authorities wouldn’t turn a blind eye I would turn him in myself. I knew the confrontation between Oivhure and Angile was coming, and coming soon. Oivhure did deserve a severe punishment for what he did.

Day 34:

She did nothing but cry. Cry, and cry, and cry. Hiyyeth even came and held her. That’s when I knew she fell in love with the right man, finally. However, at the moment, that is beside the point. Angile and I devised a plan, the confrontation was coming tomorrow.

Day 35:

I waited patiently behind our designated spot behind the rose bushes. Finally they were there. I listened intently.

“Oivhure, I know the truth,” she said.

“That’s not my name,” he replied.

“Yes it is, and you know it. Your ability. It’s to see in the past.” Oivhure seemed to be confused, but I knew he was desperately grasping at something to say.

“No. Well I mean yes, that’s my ability, but that’s not true. I wouldn’t love you so much if it was!”

“You are an insecure little boy. I am an insecure young woman. Eventually, I would have found out on my own. I would have known you weren’t Crennik.”

“On your own?! Who told you?!”

“So you admit it.”

“Wait..” his face went white.

“Exactly. You are a very sick little boy. We will never be together. Goodbye, Oivhure.” He grabbed her arm when she started to walk away.

“Please, don’t leave. I’m sorry I lied to you, but I do love you,” he was crying.

“But I don’t love you. I only loved you for who I thought you were, and not who you are now.” She wrenched her arm away from his desperate grasp. She had her back turned when she must have heard me.

“Oivhure.. it was for the best for her to know the truth,” I told him.

“You!” Angile’s flinch showed me that even Oivhure’s sudden whirl to face me caused her pain.

She was gone.

“Don’t you me Oivhure, she had a right to know.” I was calm.

“I need her, I love her!”

“You neither need her or love her.”

“You don’t know that!”

“But I do, I know more about it then you think. She would have eventually found out on her own.” I had even seen that.

“She would have learned to love the real person I was by then!”

“No she wouldn’t of, she would have despised you even more so than she does now.”

“She does not! She loves me! I can make her love me!” he was frantic.

“Oivhure..” my voice trailed off as he ran away from me. He didn’t want to face the truth, so the truth faced him.
