London Calling

"I don't mean to offend you, but nothing about your life makes sense."

An initial one night stand turned into a string of casual hook ups. Soon enough their intimate sessions evolved into weekly discussions beside a Victorian designed fireplace. However, this time around the warmth brushing against his perspiring skin couldn't console how distressing her dissertation of his life had become.

"Noah, you're twenty-four years old. How can that be right? I mean, isn't your ex-fiance like twenty-nine? And I clearly remember you saying you two met in high school. Star crossed lovers type of thing." Her questions are disorientating, definitely misplaced, and now he's starting to believe his decision to let another woman into his life was a stupid mistake.

"I'm so sorry. It's just." Hayden's voice cracks under pressure, like she forgotten her next line.

"It's just that the answers are right in front of you. Noah, you've literally talked to me about four different lives in the last three months. One that involved you and Clarice being together till your dying breath, another as the leader of your father's company. There's a story that involves a demon named Shinigami. While the last, and the most intriguing I might add, involves being the son of Amaranth...."Her pause is one made when someone makes an obvious mistake. Like she's spoken too much.

"Stop. Stop it right now." It's a painful process, trying to question this healthy distraction's momentary hesitance. "Everything just hurts." If it weren't for the anguish being felt.....if it weren't for the anguish being felt....

"Noah, I knew it. The stories about her are true." She quickly tucked her shoulder beneath his arm, trying her best to support his weight. "She's abused her powers over reality. She's rewritten you one too many times."It's like some riddle has been solved with the way she smiles from ear to ear. A sort of aha moment happens when the girl named Hayden guides her American companion to the closest couch.

"Please, don't get mad but I can fix that. I can fix you. My brother was wrong, because I can help you make sense of everything. All I need is for you to sit still. So, concentrate on my voice....and everything, everything will make sense. I swear." Her sincerity is genuine, caressing his cheek and promoting reassuring thoughts.

"I'm going to enter your mind, okay? I know, I know this has happened one too many times, but I promise I've been taught by the best." Her fingers press onto his temples, causing a sweet sensation of comfort. "Hayden, don't do it!" He screamed out knowing that her attempt would activate an automatic defensive mechanism crafted by a witch named Madame Blossom.

"NO!" He's left alone in silence. It's something he's become accustomed too, but the deep seeded guilt of unintentionally hurting someone unlocks the various memories he conversed about during his trip away from melodramatic escapades with Clarice. "What's happening to me?"

Next: Answering the Riddle

"Fan Song was better than I thought, but I guess this means you're ready. Ready to pick the life you want to live."

This is amazing! Good job!

To the faraway towns! Now war is declared and battle come down.

:-)

@troy_walker: Thank you. Gotta pick up my fic game haha. Thought it was time I dotted my "I's"

@dark_vengeance_: I feel like I should know this reference >.>

@strigidae_23: O.O

@legacy_: It's a song, 'London Calling'

@troy_walker: DERP. My dumb is showing. Ha!

@legacy_:

That's a neck, no nothing.

I LIVE BY THE RIVER-ER!

@amazingangel:

London calling to the imitation zone!

Fantastic work as always.

@dark_vengeance_:

Hay Mayn! you can't stop me expressing myself!

How to you use "London Calling" and not get The Clash reference....you kids nowadays have no respect for the classics :)

@amazingangel:

That's how the lyrics go, and you call yourself a Brit!

@armistice: wow wow! I know the classics!!! Lol

@armistice: I remembered after the fact. Also, I see you're taking this whole I'm @mercy_'s daddy to a whole new level with that av.

@lady_grimm: LG!

@shadowswordmaster: Thank you. Liking that av for you.

@amazingangel: @dark_vengeance_: THE BRITISH ARE INVADING!

Very proud of you then, sometimes it feels like the only thing people on here listen to is rap, there actually are other genres out there...

The AV was actually selected in regards to something Zauby related, I'm not (quite) that old yet.

@armistice:

I love the Clash! My favorite songs by them are either "Should I stay or should I go" or "Police on my back".

@legacy_:

I'm not British, and it's "The British are coming!".

@dark_vengeance_:

@legacy_:

@legacy_: Why thank you and I like yours too .

I'm actually only a moderate fan myself, just wanted to harass Closure about missing the reference.

Their music is a fine soundtrack to commit mischief by though :)

@armistice:

Harassing Closure is the best, he always responds with gifs.

Agreed, I fought the law comes to mind.

Whoa. Now that is something amazing!

AND THE CLASH REFERENCES! I LOVE THEM! xD

Harassing Mercy is actually more fun because I can get her swearing at me :)

@armistice:

Never harassed Mercy, I feel like she would ban me.

If I haven't been banned yet, you will have to really go out of your way to do so as I push buttons (on purpose) daily :)

@armistice:

That sounds like a challenge.

I will admit, any time I see you mention London, a part of me assumes you're looking for me.

Another interesting read ^_^

@armistice: -__-

@Ren_

She saw this! What do I do? Ahhhh!

*smoke bomb.

Take some lessons from @laflux if you wanna harass Mercy :P

@pyrogram:

I'll make to do so when he/she sees this.

@dark_vengeance_: He!

@pyrogram:

Okay, good to know. You never know these days...

@dark_vengeance_: :P

@arquitenens: Hmm. I could hook you in. If you want.

Every time you make that face at me.....I smile :)
