One of us…

She’s one of us.

One of us?

Yes!

Are you sure?

Yes!

How can you be so sure?

I kind of… dated her.

You mean you found somebody who was one of us and you went on and romanticized her?

I … I fell in love…

You find somebody who is one of us and you … You scared her away didn’t you! YOU MORON!!!

Okay I messed up… but… she IS one of us.

So you find somebody who is one of us, you scare her away, and now you are coming to the council so that we can get her back, to you?

Ummm… the council? Taking the piss are we?

One problem at a time people!

Okay okay… first things first. Does she know she is one of us?

No, I think the closest she came to realizing was when she said how similar we were despite having different backgrounds.

You mean she picked up on how similar you and her were?

It’s a trap. She is a trap. She…is…a…trap!

You are just jealous I got ‘on’ with her.

People!!! People! There is enough shit to deal with on this planet without you two showing off your chemistry !

Look. All I want is a way to deal with this. I think she is one of us. I know there is no effing chance for me to make things happen with her again. But for her sake, I think she needs to know. She deserves to know.

Aww… look at your soppiness.

SHUT UP!!!

You are not going to help me are you.

You ruined it Sami. You ruined it. You had a chance, and you ruined it. Did you know she was one of us before you went in?

I, kinda… I kinda did!

And you thought, hey, let’s go and check her out first.

Well, yeah, I did. I think I do have the authority to do that. It is not like we are the fucking Jedi.

But we are real. Not something that happened in the head of an imaginative man! And seemingly, so is she.

No… no… no… we cannot.

We have to… it is unfair to us. It was unfair till I found out. I… I… I tried to show her… I tried to…

You DID SCARE HER AWAY !!!

Yes I did scare her away… I was blown away by her… She is so high on it … and it is so sad that she has no clue… no clue at all about what she possesses…

Normal life then?

Yes, in certain ways, and yet not in so many…

She could not have had, could she.

So, are we helping her?

There is only one way we can help her, and that would be by taking you out of the equation.

Yeah sure, I will not interact at all with whatever you guys get up to.

No you do not understand. The only way she can be helped is by banishing you.

Wait, wait, wait! I am us. I am part of us. You cannot just change who I am, just like that.

Oh we can. You will be just like her, walking everyday, wondering what you saw, wondering what is going on, wondering about so many things, and yet not knowing the answers.

Hmm…

The question is, are you willing to take the risk? Do you love her enough?

I don’t think I can give myself up for her. Because she already gave up on me.

You just failed the test, Sami. She said… coming out of the darkness.
