pants after he tossed onto the bed. He rubbed hands through his hair fingers combing it as Mara came out of the bathroom dressed in a dress.
She carrying the duffle bag on her shoulder towards the table which she placed the bag on top of it.
Jinx heard the doorbell ring sounding loudly which he went to answer the door. He saw a taller man with short blond hair wearing a suit that pointed a hand gun at his chest firing it. He felt stinging pain hitting him followed by sleepiness.
He hearing the male speak in a happy voice “Mara I love you.”
As Jinks fell towards the floor he saw Mara run in his line of sight grabbing the man who hugged her.
He watched as she kissed the male on the lips and broke it off to speak in a happy voice “Bart I love you too.”
He felt himself slipping away towards unconscious as he hit the floor and surrendered to the darkness claiming him.
Jinx grimaced fully on his face of waking up lying on the bed in his clothes with rage running through him.
He had snarled to himself thinking “Mara. She used me for her problem hence her interest in me without bothering to tell me that she was already paired to a male.”
He added as he got up from the bed stomping to the closet to grab his shoes “When will I learn? Females will always use you for their own gain and will throw you away once done with you like what happened with Aurora now Mara.”
He jammed on his shoes and grabbed his key off the kitchen counter to walk out of his apartment locking the door behind him and pocketing the key. He jogged down the hallways and stairwells and lowered his jog to a speed walk as fury ran through him. His feet led him to the garden where he slumped down on a bench and folded his arms his eyes staring at the ground.
Jinx recalled to himself while seated at the bench. A memory of himself, appearing to be a teenager wearing familiar clothing holding a brown sword fighting against a familiar bearded male holding an identical brown sword. The familiar bearded male appeared to be older while wearing identical clothing.
Jinx continued to spar fight the male till he knocked aside the male’s brown sword. He spoke as he poked the sword into the male’s stomach “Got you hah.”
He heard from the male “Don’t let confidence overtake you despite you defeating me, Lance. There are others capable of defeating you.”
He recalling the memory as Lance heard himself spoke “Who cares? I want to fight. I hate it when Mother says I’m not old enough to do it.”
He watched in his mind as he heard a female voice speaking sounding behind himself “Mothers are always right and they know when children are ready.”
Jinx saw himself frown who turned around to face a familiar blonde female who looked older who continued speaking “You’re not ready Lance.”
Lance he eyed spoke in a whining tone “But I want to fight, Mother.”
He eyed the female who was his Mother raiser he assumed who walked up to him to place a hand on his shoulder and she spoke “Don’t worry Lance you’ll get the chance to fight but not now. Wait till your older and more ready to fight even ready to be undefeated in fights.”
He eyed himself who formed a big frown on his face followed by his Mother adding “Lance resume your practice. It’s best to keep it up for you’ll be able to fight undefeated once old enough.”
He saw himself nod his head followed by his Mother letting go of his shoulder to walk away. He turned around and resumed sword fighting with the male who halted the sparring.
By speaking sounding out of breath “Halt now. I need to rest.”
Lance he saw formed a glare on his face as the male went to sit down on the grassed ground near the blonde female who spoke “What do you think Ian?”
Jinx as Lance stared at Ian he assumed was the male's name who spoke “Oh he’ll make a terrific fighter. The potential is there but he needs to be disciplined in the art of sword fighting, Arianne.”
He heard the name Arianne assumed it belonged to the blonde female who was his Mother raiser spoke “Just as I planned.”
Jinx saw himself still holding the brown sword shrug and began doing some movements with the weapon. He appearing to be doing fighting movements along with doing some pretending like he was fighting with another.
Jinx snapped his mind of the memory while recalling an incident at the space station's park involving four teenagers picking onto him due to him sitting on a bench making him grimace.
He recalled saw four pairs of bare feet walk in his line of sight eyes staring at the ground.
He heard a male teenage voice speaking “You’re in our seat, get off.”
He looked up at the feet’s owners to see four teenage Mahalian males wearing brown clothing that looked ragged and holey patches with smirks on their faces their hands fisted as his anger took control. He got up from the seat roaring a nonsense growling cry attacking the teenagers with his martial art fighting moves.
Jinx managed to knock all four of them to the ground all groaning in pain loudly. He felt his rage still running through him. He kneeled grabbing the hair of a teenage male and proceeded to throw his fist repeatedly in the teenager’s face while growling nonsense sounds. He was interrupted by two hands covering his eyes from behind. This was followed by several pairs of hands grabbing his arms to yank them behind his back. He struggled against their ironclad grip finding himself trapped by them.
He snarled a growl and heard foreign language in female voice with disapproval in the tone speaking loudly. He heard the groaning sounds become fainter and fainter.
He struggled against the grips when he heard a familiar voice sounding like Tan’s speaking “When one friend leaves another takes their place, remember that Robert.”
He felt his anger abruptly leave him as a great feeling of sadness hit him. He shut his eyes bursting into tears crying uncontrollably wailing loudly. He felt a dam inside him burst cutting away his deadness feeling that had taken control for awhile. He cried as the hands covering his eyes were removed along with the arm grips. He brought his hands to his face while still crying away. He felt a hand feeling gentle grab his arm forcing him up to a standing position.
He didn’t resisted as he was blindly guided into a walk himself not paying attention to his surroundings. He kept on wailing till his seat hit something soft. He was forced to lie down which he felt his own bed underneath him. He curled himself into a ball crying himself to sleep to dream of Morganna.
He saw her open her arms wide which he went into her arms and felt her hugging him in response. He sighed from the hug to feel himself better and released his hold on her as she did the same. She put a hand on his shoulder.
He stared at Morganna who spoke “I never abandoned you after having you. You were taken away from me and raised without my influence or my say so. I just wish you would acknowledge me as the way I wanted in the first place. I was denied that opportunity of having that acknowledgement. I will have even seeing it come to fruition.”
He frowned as his eyes in the dream were forced shut while hearing familiar female voices speaking in unison “Not time yet Morganna.”
Jinx again woke up by the sound of the blaring alarm clock indicated nap time over. He sighed figuring out that he was still not recovering from his sleepiness nights. He groaned as he rubbed his eyes that felt the memory of being raw from his tears.
He had cried one night while hearing a phone ringing from being in the apartment of the space station. He got up from the bed to the phone which he picked up not saying a word but breathing deeply or paying attention to the video monitor.
He heard a voice on it speaking “Jinx, this is your Father, take the rest of the day off. The office can manage without you there for today.”
He heard a dial tone and hung up the phone and went to his altar to kneel staring at Aurora's he assumed he'll call her, favorite sweater. He got up walking towards the closet to look in and spot a box on the shelf above him. He pulled the box down and saw it was a stamped
box with an address with her name above it with return address to the apartment in handwriting that made him think it was hers.
He walked to his altar and grabbed the sweater stuffing it in the box and pulled at the taping which he taped the box closed. Jinx felt for his key and found it still in his pocket. He walked out of the apartment going to a lobby where there was a wall of numbered mailboxes in it. He placed the box down in front of the wall leaning against it. He peered in the mailbox window with his apartment’s number on it to see a video recorder messenger dubbed VRM inside it. He pulled out his key to unlock the mailbox’s door and pulled out the VRM. He closed the door locking it. He stared at the VRM with a frown.
Jinks walked to his apartment and went inside to sit on the couch. He turned on the VRM switch turning out to be a hologram video recording from Mara speaking while sitting in a chair.
He listened which the contents said "I'm apologizing for using you. I without bothering to tell you of my problems with my computer problems was in the first place for you to help me."
The message as Jinks continued to listen "My uncle used my identity in various locations on Egyptia for causing computer viruses. This caused massive blackouts which didn’t matter where.
A former boyfriend I counted on for help getting away from the uncle wound up copying him with that behavior.
I noticed that both seemed to have displayed some bad
