Chapter 25: Finally, Awake

Elrisha

I was just watching her sleeps peacefully when I suddenly sensed the sudden change in her aura. It was cold but not freezing as if her temperature was running low but nope. She was still at her normal temperature but her energy stating otherwise.

"I call forth my spirit guardian in my room, hear my plea." I chanted as I summoned the spirit fairy that's been staying in my room ever since I was a kid. Then just like one swish of air touched my skin, the spirit fairy of light that I firstly summoned showed itself. It was like a small human with elf ears and fairy wings.

'It's about time that you summoned me, Baku.'

"It's good to see you too, Auron. But can you help me with something." I greeted back my fairy

'Of course, Baku. What is it anyway?'

"Can you light up my beloved's aura? I would like to see what's happening to her." I asked while my eyes were still focused on my beloved, Mirna.

'Ah, there's no need for a light. Your beloved just needs yours. She's been chosen by Unega Unatsi.'

"But what's happening to her?" I wondered since I don't understand what's suddenly happening to her aura.

'Ask Unega Unatsi.'

"How can possibly do that?" I seriously don't have any clue on how can I ask her.

'Baku, your stupidly slow like what your mother calls you.'

"Auron." I warned my fairy.

'Fine, fine. Is she not your beloved? If she does then you know the answer to your doubt.'

"How to do that then?" I still didn't know how to do that – communicating some entity inside the other body.

'Forehead as you held her hand since your mates.'

I took a very deep breath and released them with heaviness. I closed my eyes before taking three calm breaths before opening my eyes and leaning to Mirna's forehead while my hand traveled to where her hand was.

"Unega Unatsi…" I mumbled then her cold energy began to be violent which my light fairy couldn't bear to stand next to me.

'She's possessive. Call me if you need me, I'll be back at my home, Baku. Good luck.'

I didn't get any chance to respond to my fairy when a violent aura from Mirna was totally wrapping itself possessively around me. I wanted to smile over that but not this time. There's something I need to know first.

"Unega Unatsi, kindly tell me what's going on with both of you? It's making me worried." I pleaded which the violent energy that suddenly wrapping around me came to its senses and calmed down.

I lifted my forehead since I wanted to look at Mirna's sleeping face and she's totally beautiful then something flicker as if she's being possessed. It might be too quick but I could tell that it was Unega Unatsi in her human form. They were indeed a split image of each other but the only difference between them, there's a fireball sun tattooed which it looked like a cross over Unega Unatsi's forehead in human form. Then I smiled before I leaned and left a lingering kiss over Mirna's forehead. I leaned back and when I was about to get up from the bed, I felt Mirna's hand was cold like snow. I looked back at her and I saw the same tattooed over Mirna's forehead with eyes like a sun. I don't know what came into me but when I suddenly felt the urge of getting her close to me, I leaned down and gave her a very long and deep kiss over her lips. It was very desperate and longing but as soon we both need some space to breathe, I looked deeply into her sun eyes then smile.

"I've been waiting to kiss you, Unega Unatsi." I told her which she smiled lovingly at me.

She didn't say anything she just looked at me before pulling me closer to her and we kissed again. As our kiss last for I'm no longer sure for how long, it was totally worth of wait. Then as our lips parted, we both looked deeply into each other's eyes and there a piece of sudden music began to play into our background which was entitled Amazed by Lonestar.

Every time our eyes meet

This feeling inside me

Is almost more than I can take

Baby, when you touch me

I can feel how much you love me

And it just blows me away

I've never been this close to anyone or anything

I can hear your thoughts, I can see your dreams

Unega Unatsi might be the one who took over Mirna's body for the min time but it doesn't change the fact that it was still her that I'm also looking at. They both have the same effect on me which was totally great.

I don't know how you do what you do

I'm so in love with you

It just keeps getting better

I wanna spend the rest of my life

With you by my side

Forever and ever

Every little thing that you do

Baby, I'm amazed by you

We might be mates ever since ancient times but I don't just love Mirna's ancestral side but her whole being which I hope she knew. Mirna might be human physically yet she does enormous strength of a sun that brightens my day and warming my heart as if I am alive once again.

The smell of your skin

The taste of your kiss

The way you whisper in the dark

Your hair all around me

Baby, you surround me

You touch every place in my heart

Oh, it feels like the first time every time

I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

Looking at Unega Unatsi, she was smiling before she pulled my face closer to hers and kissed my forehead before she opened her mouth as if she was trying to tell me something. Yet, I couldn't hear what she was stating until she laid her head back on the pillow as if nothing just happened and fall asleep again.

"I didn't catch that one." I chuckled toward myself before shaking my head in disbelief because I am indeed slow in things like this. I am slow whenever it comes to my beloved mate, Mirna.

Mirna

I could swear that I could taste Elrisha's lips against mine but there was something stopping me from taking a peek until something suddenly pulled me deeper. From vague colors of the soothing surrounding of nature, it suddenly turned into cool ones – it was covered with snow. Among that snow, I never realized that there was something different along with them – a white tiger. This white tiger was huge and its eyes were totally warm like a bright sun that was also staring at me. Out of the blue, my feet came to life, and walked toward the white tiger that seems went alerted. It was about to leave me in the snow but I won't let it. I run and caught its front leg while panting. I'm seriously not sure how am I panting with just that run but I didn't care and just looked at the white tiger. It seems confused and surprised on did I manage to touch it. When I touched it, a sudden strong wind came rushing and swirling around us but stopped when I pulled its head to force it to look at me then I let my forehead rested on its forehead.

"Let me take over my body, Unega Unatsi. You could see her through my eyes and you could feel her with my body since we're living in one. I love her." I calmly told the white tiger which released a low growled but licked my face. I know it was gross but I laughed.

Slowly, I could regain my consciousness and I could definitely hear Elrisha's singing voice and I know the song. It made my heart so warm and I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life – wait, did I just? Oh, c'mon. Anyway, I slowly opened my eyes and I can't help but smile with the view of my boss and my girlfriend, Elrisha. Seeing her first as soon as I opened my eyes made me hear some melody playing in my background which made me sing it and to notified that I am awake.

"I can't believe you're here with me

And now it seems my world's complete

And I never want this moment to end

I close my eyes and still I see

My dreams become reality

And now I know how it feels to be in love

I prayed so many nights that you would come my way

An angel from above to light my darkest day

I think it's time for you to hear these lines

'Cause there's something I want to say…" I sang the song Finally Found by Honeyz while the smile never left my lips and Elrisha looked back at me with the same smile.

"I finally found what I've been looking for

And now you know I'm going to love you more

Hold me tight 'cause it's always been you

(It's always been you)

To think that you were always there (always there)

To be my friend and wipe away my tears

Now it's clear that it's always been you…" I kept singing as I tried to sit up on the bed before meeting the worried eyes of my girlfriend. I made her worried again.

"Sometimes you don't expect that friends

Can become lovers in the end

Only God knows what the future will bring

So hold me close and don't let go

'Cause this is love girl, don't you know?

And we're gonna be together for eternity

I prayed so many nights that you would come my way

An angel from above to light my darkest day

A love so strong it can't be wrong

It's with you that I belong…" I changed to word boy to a girl since I am dedicating this song to a girl that was in front of me. I am pouring my feelings along with this song.

"This time

I'm gonna make sure it turns out right

I want to be your everything and by your side

For the rest of my life…" I cupped her face while staring deeply into her eyes then I heard her gasped a little.

"Your eyes…" Elrisha commented since she was right about my eyes were partly Unega Unatsi and mine. I just smiled at her before putting my index finger at her lips to shut her for a moment since this part that I am going to sing was the feeling that I am feeling for her. A kind of feeling that merged with the white tiger living inside of me.

"(This love)

This love feels the way that love should be

Look in my eyes and realized there's no disguise

'Cause I'm in love with you." Instead of singing it, I just stated those words to her like poetry which I could see some tears threatening to fall from her eyes. I smiled warmly at her.

"Elrisha or Bakunawa or whatever your name might be as long it's you, I love you from the bottom of my heart. Please remember that." I added then she cried which made me pulled her into my arms. I just let her cry there while I am soothing her back to calm her down.

"Unatsi, tell me what just happened there, why did I collapse?" I asked my other self through my mind which exactly a knock happened to Elrisha's bedroom door.

'Answer lies behind that knock. Just listen to what she's going to tell you. I'll be here if you can't fully understand them.'

"Thank you." I'm actually surprised when I heard her very beautiful voice as if she's a singer or something. It might be cold as snow like a band but it was also a very kind and lovely voice to listen to.

"Finally, you're awake." A figure of a lady with the same image as Elrisha came into my view yet there was something different around her, she has an angry scar over her right eye and she's blind.

"Mom." I heard Elrisha mumbled as she pulled away from my embrace while wiping her remaining tears over her cheeks.

I just couldn't believe what I just heard from her mouth that made me looked all over the room and it was definitely like Elrisha's room but how did or how come I am here in front of Elrisha's mother while I'm on the bed of her daughter.

'Breath.'

"Stop laughing, Unatsi." I warned her laughing voice behind my mind as I am trying my best to connect the dots on how did I got here since it was a bit blurred.
