The Acquaintance

Rachel Roth POV

"Hey did y'all hear about the illuminating night that's happening tonight!?" A student in class barged in as all the students begin to talk about the event that's upcoming this week.

May you ask what is Illuminating Night,well it happens to be an event happening every 200 years and us the people are getting to experience this event for the first time in our lives.

Most of the students in school are excited about this event,it's a very 'rare' event,I guess...

Looking back into my journal of hand written notes about this event,this event is not just any event but something more to it. Many complicated things came up during my summer vacation and let's just say that I am not what they call humane. I decide to hear the students talk about this event of this week,knowing this is no ordinary event if anything this is something more supernatural and yet people do not question anything about it. They seriously don't question such things here which is quite weird.

"They're so easy to fool aren't they,they don't even question something so rare and yet they just go with it not knowing what it truly is," I turn my head to the left,eyes meeting with the raven haired male,Drei. Flashing a side snicker as his head rested on left hand."I'm guessing you have questions about this particular event hm?"He spoke,his voice deep yet soft. I've heard of him,rumors about him always alone,not wanting anything to do with anyone. He was sort of rare among the school population. Someone who kept secrets at that. I didn't even respond to him but to him it amused him he flashed a smile towards my way as he looked at me one last time before he turned his head towards the window looking out the morning sky.

"Friend Rachel?" I look in front of me to see Kori,one of my few close friends."That boy,are you-" I only sighed and shook my head no cutting of her sentence."Oh I thought he was a friend" Kori smiled as she sat next to me."Friend Rachel I have been hearing about the festivities of illuminating night,but I must ask do you know what illuminating night is?" Kori asked curiously."Illuminating night...huh",I mumbled."I don't think she'll want to answer your question Kori",Robin spoke as he sat next to Rachel."Oh would someone please explain this event,everyone seems excited and I want to know such an event",Kori spoke out enthusiastically."From what I heard this 'illuminating night' happens every 200 years",Robin spoke."It's an event something not many experience but we get too which is kinda cool". Robin then pointed over towards the window. The outside early morning."You see the full moon there...",he continued,"Once it's night time the full moon will illuminate a nice twilight glow with a black ring that is some sort of orbit". He explained as Kori was nothing but in awe and eager to know about this.

"Is there anything more to this event?"Kori questions as she was pleased with the answers she was receiving."That's all I know actually",Robin spoke awkwardly. I grab hold of a book I recently found and open it to a specific page that talks about the similar characteristics of illuminating night. As to how I found this book,during my summer it became quite difficult to adapt to the new changes in my body,as well the things I now know about myself."I don't know if this might help...but I found some information about this as well",I spoke softly."Oh friend Rachel please share with us your knowledge for this event",Kori spoke as she had a bright smile on her face."From the sources I found it on...the illumination of the moonlight reflects off an entrance of some sort of portal....and well the black ring indicates the ability to cross...it's like glass that reflects a different world",I say as my two friends stare at me in an awkward way.

"I knew I shouldn't have said anything.."I mumbled and look into the book."It's not that we think it's crazy or-""What she says is true ya know"I look over to the left as Drei had cut Robin off."How so?"Kori questions. "That's because the light that reflects off the moonlight like a glass portal,reflects off the color of the eye of who controls this ability." Drei spoke as he fiddled with a unique marbel."Ability?"Robin questioned as he let out laugh."Yes an ability quite unique",Drei spoke."And how exactly can you prove this kind of thing?",Robin questions.

Drei only turned to look at us,only his eye color was a different shade and was rather glowing.....

Glowing the same twilight shade as a black ring was in his eyes.

"I'm the one with the ability",He said

I got up immediately,the same color prescribed in the text of the book. Looking closely at the glow....a shadow suddenly appeared,falling on my back as I look at Drei.

"What's wrong Rachel?"He asked plainly,his eye color back to the jet black color they were. Standing up immediately as I look down at the book in the floor.

Drei followed as to where my eyes landed on,he hummed in amusement as he picked it up."I've wondered as to where this ended up"He analysed the book in his hand as I look around. Everyone stared but they were quiet,almost as if they were.....frozen.

"If you're wondering,we're inside your mind",Drei spoke.

Coming back to reality I was still on the floor and so was the book,Drei was in his seat as he stared at me."Rachel?" Kori questioned as she clapped her hands,looking at her as she catched my attention."You alright Rachel?"Robin questions as both him and Kori helped me up. I only nodd and fix myself,but then stare at them."Did you see his eyes?"I whispered to them as I look over at Drei."What do you mean?"Robin says as he raised his eyebrows."His eyes.....I was sure..?What..?"I shake my head."Drei was just explaining about ability users,what he says about them is quite fascinating, it relates to this event",Robin spoke as I shake my head."But...he said he's..."I let out a breath as I look at him,he's acting like nothing happened. I then sat down as I calmed myself."Drei says he knows a great spot as to where we can see the moonlight tonight,he thinks we should come along and I think we should go"Robin spoke as he gestured his hand towards Drei."Um y-yeah sure"I spoke as I look away from Drei,looking over at Kori as she was rather excited.

Later that afternoon I sat outside at the top of the school building,hearing steps I turn to look and see him,Drei."Mind explaining what the hell you were doing inside my mind",I mutter. He looks at me and sits down next to me,"Just wanted to confirm a hunch",He spoke."What hunch",I say."I figured you'd be the demon that had been released in this world,"He spoke as I stood up immediately."How could yo-""I know certain things about you Rachel",he continued,"One being that you're a demon",He stood up as well and took out a book from his bag. The same book I had,"There are only two copies of this book and I'm glad you're the one that has it,even if you don't know what it all means"."Who's Mare?"I question knowing the recalling of a certain page I read,written in it said someone who is Mare."I guess you figured out on how to read it,you're smart to figure out our language",He spoke as he opened the book in a certain page. Our?what did he mean by our?

"Rachel so far you're one of the three ability users I've found and I need you to stay safe and be cautious at all times",Drei says as he began walking towards the door to head to class,"One more thing your friends-"Yeah you're gonna say 'stay away from them as much as possible' typical drama shit stuff cause of the 'danger',"I quote sarcastically.

"Actually....tell them what you are,you can't hide it from them,they need to know now then figure it out in the worst case scenarios",with that said he walked away,leaving me puzzled. Tell them huh? Sure that seems easy enough.....

just say hey guys I'm a demon and I am somehow in danger yeah...

being a demon isn't easy at all........I have so many questions,who exactly is this guy.....

How can I explain myself to my friends about this......

It isn't going to be easy.....

How can I do it?....
