"B-Why? Why did I do that?" I asked, crying.
I am so clueless about that night. I don't know why I did that!
"You found out about the secrets I hid from you when you're still a kid, Arrow," my grandfather replied.
That didn't help the questions I wanted answered. I was even more confused.
I wiped away my tears but just replaced them with new ones.
"Why did I do that? What are those secrets, grandpa? Please answer me, I'm begging you." I was desperate to know all the things I had forgotten.
"Arrow, are you sure about this? You'll end up hurting yourself again, I don't want that to happen," Grandpa replied worriedly.
I shook my head. "No! I want to hear it, Gunner, please? Froze is here, eh. I know he can calm me down, isn't he dear?"
Froze immediately held my hand and kissed my forehead. "Shh, I'm here."
I heard Gunner sigh, causing me to turn in his direction.
"Are you satisfied now, grandpa? P-Please, tell me, I want to k-know what pushed me to kill myself," I cried pleadingly.
"It's because of the agony you felt when I told you the truth. You couldn't stand the pain, so you decided to kill yourself. I regret telling you the truth because you repeatedly blamed yourself about that thing ' yon, and you ended up killing yourself. " I became even weaker.
Agony? Pain?
How bad did I find out?
"Grandpa, you are not Arrow Blood." I looked up and turned violently to my grandfather.
What?
"You are the real Ayenna. Your name is Ayenna Blood, and yes, the one who died is your twin, Arrow."
My chest tightened at what I heard. It was as if a huge bomb had exploded in front of me.
I am Ayenna? H-How?
"I am too dumb not to notice it that early, the moment I saw your eyes, I knew there were others. The real Arrow possessed those golden eyes, but totally different from yours. You have the same eyes, but I know very well they are different. You have a habit. Your mom and dad never pay attention to your twin, Arrow. So they will never know the difference between you. " I just cried while listening to him.
"Then why? W-Why am I mistaken as Arrow?" I asked weakly.
"The clan who took you and Arrow marked your neck, and it's exactly like Arrow's birthmark on her neck. But I noticed how strange you are while you are here in the palace, because I'm the only one who knows you two better than your twin , "he said as he smiled sadly.
"I witnessed how you mumbled to the side, while watching your parents praise your twin. Everyday, you prefer being alone, because you thought no one cares for you, 'cause you never bother to appreciate me. And I understand you, because I knew you were scared then. You're afraid that I might be showing the wrong love for you because you're used to people not listening to you and looking at you. the attention of your parents. You became the rebel, and that's what makes Canapia and Mesaion hate you more. But I never hated you for that. " He tapped my shoulder causing me to tear up.
"Because I know who you really are. I kept my eye on you, Ayenna, because you're the most precious gem for me. No one hesitates to come and talk to you, I am always looking at you from afar, to check you. I felt so proud whenever you had the guts to answer Mesaion and Canapia back at your age. But everything got messed up, when that incident happened. "
My heart started pounding for no apparent reason.
"Canapia and Mesaion love your twin so much, and you know why? Because they found out that one of you possesses a very expensive eye. There is no equal wealth in their hands when they sell the eyes they are looking for in you. They thought Arrow possessed those eyes, but when that clan took you and your twin, it was too late for them to know that you owned those eyes. " I almost fell over at what I heard.
These eyes that I have. Is this the reason for everything?
No. It's impossible.
"Then why didn't that ass clan touch me? Tell me! Why aren't they hurting me ?! Why did they only hurt Arrow, they are demons ?!" I burst out.
He shook his head before smiling bitterly.
"Arrow. It's Canapia and Mesaion's order."
There was a moment of silence all around me because of what he said. What did I just hear?
Is it Canapia and Mesaion order?
"I d-don't understand it," I said, shaking my head.
"They ordered that clan to take both of you, but they had a deal, I just found out about it too late. They had a deal with that clan, the agreement, they will never hurt Ayenna, they will kill the twins. All they want is money, and they need to keep you alive to convince you to give your eyes. They ordered the clan to take both of you so that everyone wouldn't notice. t. You're mistaken as Arrow because of the mark on your neck, which is exactly similar to Arrow's birthmark on her neck. Only Arrow had such a birthmark, her neck and face were burned too much so we didn't have a chance to see her birthmark. And we thought you're the real Arrow. "
I no longer know how I cope with every word I hear.
My own parents ... They killed my twin?
My poor twin ... I am so sorry, Arrow. Forgive me if I have done nothing before.
"They thought it was Ayenna who died so they were furious with you. They didn't get the chance to take your twin's eyes because it was also affected when he was burned. Your twin, Arrow, suffered a lot because of your parents, Ayenna. And that's why you tried killing yourself. "
I can no longer accept what he says. I just want to relax and cry all night.
With the weight of my chest so heavy, I was no longer able to answer what my grandfather said.
I walked straight out of the palace.
I just want to rest, and say sorry to my twin.
You are not Arrow, Ayenna, you'll never be Arrow. Because the real Ayenna is alive, and that's me.
