Kapitel 36: Personality uncontrolled

Both of them stood on the appointed place on time.

One stared with surprised face and other stood with a confused expression, but clearly aware of the reason the other person's stunned expression.

Seb's face was blank and straight. She sighed once and waited for Iven to say something soon.

Finally Iven gulped down some air and managed to speak,"Why is that over there?....Was that this serious?".

The fact was that, Seb had a black eye-patch on her wounded eye. And not to mention it, it looked sharp on her face with her long front curly bangs falling over her eyes.

"Nah!", Seb swung her hand,"Just to avoid the sunlight. Also, it looked a bit ugly. You shouldn't see it".

"Can't you show me?", Iven requested.

"No!!!", came the firm decline,"It's fine, just a little sore".

"And what about you?", Iven stressed on 'you'.

"What's wrong with me?", Seb looked up.

-You looked really mad the other day. I did some horrible things unintentionally...

-Let's not talk about that. Things are gone. I already let go. Even I overreacted a bit.

-You have a fluctuating mood. But as long as you're, I'm good too. SO, where do you wanna go today?

-I have brought 2 tickets for the Amusement park, wanna go?

-There's no point in asking when you have already brought them, is it?

-Ah sorry,....did you have other plans?

-Nope, Amusement park sounds cool. Let's go!

-If you say so. But there's one thing which is bothering me.

-What is it?

-What's with that get up?

-DO I not look decent enough?

-Decent...isn't the word I would use...

Iven looked down at his attire.

He wore a grey t-shirt from inside with a black Blazer along with black trousers. His shoes were high quality and polished.

In all, the dress did bring out his main sexy traits.

But it seemed as if he was on his way after a murder.

Seb thought the same.

"It looks like you are going for your dealing job", Seb said,"What's with the black?".

I have all the color in my life needed now, is what Iven wanted to say but just looked down and took the weird compliment by rubbing the back of his head.

But Seb was already on the move, and there's nothing that can bent what she has decided once.

she dragged Iven to the nearest dress store.

She wouldn't take no for an answer and shoved Iven in the trial.

She is not the shopping type and buys whatever she's sure about at once.

She chose a set for Iven within no time and demanded him to try it on.

Iven hesitated at first, but one stare from Seb took care of the problem.

When finally Iven came out, Seb had a pleased expression with a little amusement and Iven looked shy as he scratched his head bashfully.

"Don't stare like that!!! Does it look that odd?", Iven looked away.

"You look just my boyfriend type", Seb smiled,"You look perfect".

Iven suddenly looked her away which such a face and Seb missed it by a minute because she went to pay.

Even Seb said it casually, it really struck Iven hard. He kept on looking with all sparkly eyes and mouth wide open. He did hear it correct. Is casual type her style of dude??? She did seem really impressed though.

He took a look at the mirror at himself.

He wore a white shirt from inside and a light blue normal shirt in place of the jacket. Instead of the trousers he wore quartered cargoes and his usual shoes went well with it. He didn't need to change them after all.

"I wish I don't run in to any of the boys", Iven prayed.

The different outfit than usual highlighted a different trait in his physique. He looked attractive. Even all the female staffs in the store were stealing glances.

Iven was contented because Seb was happy with it.

She returned afte paying for the clothes,"All cool? Let's go then?".

The Amusement park

There were numerous stuffs to choose from in the park.

Iven has never been to such a place before, thus he couldn't decide what to do.

Finally Seb expressed her choice,"Let's ride the Roller coaster!!! I've been meaning to try it for a long time now".

Iven took one look to the gigantic thing and burst out,"You want to get on that horrific thing early in the morning???"

"Do you want to do anything else?", Seb asked.

This time Iven said something he wanted to do after he spotted it later and it looked interesting. "I thought may be we could go there?", saying he pointed at the Haunted house.

"And that's not a problem going in that filthy place in the morning?", Seb imitated Iven.

"Don't tell me you are scared",Iven teased.

Seb let out a sarcastic smirk,"Stone,paper,scissors!!!", Seb suggested.

"Childish, but fine by me", Iven said.

At last, Iven won after playing it twice. They had to go to the Haunted house. For Iven it was all new, so he wanted to see it. but unfortunately it didn't turn out the way it should have.

Every time a ghost would appear before them to scare them, Iven would pass comments,"Belle, how can he figure out where we are when he has no head?", such and all.

Seb was trying her best to get scared and fit in the atmosphere, but Iven's comment won't let her. Even the scariest of characters appeared funny to her.

"Hey look!", Iven said once,"The dwarf has long hair, it's probably a female".

Seb finally had replied to that,"Iven, don't you think that your ideas about ghosts are a bit off?".

But things went to the next level during the Roller coaster ride!

After the first round, Iven said,"I think I'll puke".

Seb immediately shouted above the wind,"Don't do it in here! You'll create a mess!!!".

After the second round he said,"I've trouble breathing!".

Seb suggested to ask to stop the ride, but he shook his head and forbid her.

After 2 more rounds he said,"I feel nauseous...."

Seb finally asked him,"Iven you don't take these wild rides very well do you?"

"...and hungry", Iven completed his sentence from before.

Seb looked at him for a while and only laughed. That cured Iven in no time. They were able to take all the rounds at last.

After they got down fro the ride, Seb brought them corn-dogs. She brought enough for two, but Iven found this new item so delicious that he finished all of them. Seb didn't mind and just smiled at him. She could see a completely different side of him that day, and it was worth it. Iven wanted to have more, but Seb prohibited him because there were more rides left to try. She promised him more later.

Seb had been to Amusement Park before with Erica and with her brother when she was younger, but with Iven, it was totally a new experience. His company was different than all others. He changed the usual things on his own.

He was also gaining a lot of attention to himself due to his facial beauty.

He got into the quarrel with the man who was putting on 3D glasses because he created some mess but he totally seemed kiddish during the aquarium show. The blue water seemed to acquire his attention completely.

It was only during the Ferris wheel time when he was calm enough, probably tired out from the whole day. He didn't complain and looked out from the window at the top with eager eyes. Whole day he acted unlike himself, he never talked this much before. Seb knew that today was a experience too new for him. But she enjoyed herself with him no matter how he acted.

6:00 pm

Seb and Iven were returning for the day.

"You didn't let me have any more Corn-dogs!", was the first complain of Iven at the end of the day.

"I let you have nuggets too, it was good too!", Seb said.

"I could have brought more", Iven said.

"There's a next time", Seb assured him.

They reached halfway to Seb's hoe chatting already when she paused and panted a little.

"Tired?", Iven asked.

"Thirsty", said Seb.

"We just left the exact shop behind", Iven let her know.

"Will you wait? I'll get something fast", Seb said.

Iven touched her shoulders and motioned at himself, that meant he pointed that he would go instead.

Seb nodded and Iven ran off. The shop was around the corner and wouldn't take him much time. He vanished in the dark within a second.

After 10 seconds, Seb's phone pinged with a message, from Erica. She turned around at the street light to see and reply to her.

Suddenly, a chilly wind touched her nape. It ran down her spine as she felt someone's presence. Seb shivered and turned around immediately.

There was no one there.

A shadow crossed behind her and it caught her sharp eye.

She turned again but again there was no one.

She was firm that some one was around her, her eye balls rotated continuously...

"Hey!", called a voice from behind which Seb was familiar with well. She sighed and turned around at him. But the relief from her face faded in no time.

"You took long enough.....", Seb spoke slowly,"....and....your clothes....?".

"Yeah...I felt uncomfortable so I changed them at a nearby shop", Iven said.

Seb looked down at his hands, they were empty...

"You didn't buy any drink?", she asked looking at him.

"No...I...",Iven stammered,"...they didn't have what you wanted. I'll get it for you from another shop ahead, let's go".

Seb didn't say anything for the moment, but something was definitely off. Seb was struck with the sense of lightning. Iven isn't himself. Seb never said what she wanted, then how come he said that it wasn't available? Also, if he changed his clothes that too in such a short time, where are the clothes that he wore before? Iven would never throw them away because they were a gift from Seb herself!!!

They walked for a while without a word. Iven was oddly quiet than before. He stole glances from Seb often too.

"Um...is your eye doing fine?", he asked suddenly.

Seb was totally bewildered. Why was he asking that out of nowhere? They already had the conversation.

Seb narrowed her eyes. She tried to lure him in a trap, something triggered her saying that he has to be an imposter.

"After all you did, why are you still asking if I'm okay?", she sounded a bit stern.

"Didn't I apologize already for it?", he revolted.

Seb was successful in her first attempt. He lied, he didn't do it, Mak did! But instead of denying it, he show signs of admitting it. Why???

"No you didn't!!!", Seb beamed.

"Well then, I apologize!", Iven calmed his voice and said.

There goes another hint! Iven was deeply sorry for his acts and had apologized thrice. But now, he didn't sound at all sorry. But Seb still wanted to believe that he was indeed Iven. It was all the same, his face, his eyes, his voice.....it was only his behavior.....which showed a bit of change...

She cut to the chase finally,"Iven...are you alright?", she asked slowly and concerned.

"What's the matter? Why do you ask that?", Iven turned and asked.

"You are not yourself....Is something wrong?", Seb stopped on her tracks and said.

Iven too paused on his steps and turned completely. He kept looking at Seb without blinking. Seb was looking directly into his eyes as she waited for him to reply. He had no expression on his face and had a blank stare. He looked down.

All of a sudden, a creepy smirk stretched beside his lips as he looked up and his eyes changed form,"Actually.....it is..." , saying he stomped towards Seb and pushed her hard in the dark lane making her crash against the wall as he stood cornering her, without a way left for escape.

"Iven!", Seb raised her voice shocked as she held her arm which hit the wall painfully,"What on earth...."

Iven raised his finger and put his across Seb's lips, his eyes gesturing her to be quiet. Seb was stunned at this unknown conduct. She held in.

"Surely you aren't so naive that you have left yourself completely defenseless against me", Iven said. His tone had changed. It sounded rather deeper and threatening. Seb couldn't say another word,"Did you really think all this time that you could control me? Just with a few sweetness??? You are just a weak one-eyed lass!!!"

Seb had a lump struck in her throat. She couldn't swallow it. Her heart-beat was twice the pace. What was Iven saying??? Who was this person? The Iven half an hour ago was lost! These weren't his words at all, not the Iven she knew. What was going on?

Seb was too stunned to say anything. She stood paralyzed and had lost her voice. it was indeed a real lightning for her. She gasped once. She knew if things went wrong now, she won't be able to resist. She would eventually have to give in, because it was him. After all this time together, Seb was well aware that she can't rebel Iven anymore. She'll just break if things go further than this!

"You fell right for my trap", he whispered eerily,"It was so easy to turn you into my prey this way. I'm amazed you couldn't figure out my intention all this time. Did you really think I would change this easily?", he let out a laugh in a awkward voice and smirked.

These were not Iven's words. This person was not him. Seb had her eyes fixed in his eyes all this time. she could tell clearly, it was not him. She could see no light reflection in his eyes. Those eyes!!! So lifeless and dark! Darker than they were ever before, more when she first met him. They had no remorse nor a bit of kindness in them.

It was not Iven at any cost!!!!!

She swallowed once,"Who...who are you?".

He again smiled,"Oh? I see you're too smart for your looks.....But that eye of yours is bothering me, lemme see that disgusting thing...", saying he raised his hand and approached for the eye-patch.

Seb was sweating cold and immensely. Her hands had turned cold too. She knew that if she didn't do something soon, the consequences won't be good. But she had no might to resist him. She couldn't take any step at all.

He's not doing it again, he's not doing it again,no!!! He promised!!! He can't!!! Seb screamed in her head and closed her eyes tightly.

Suddenly, a blow of wind sped past her. A gasp was heard followed by a crashing noise in the lane. Before Seb could open her eyes and study the situation, a strong hand looped across her waist and pulled her roughly.

Seb found herself clinging onto something strong which had a familiar scent.

She knew well this figure form, this feeling of protection and safeness could emerge from only one person she knew.

She looked up. She knew those eyes.

It was him, finally. Iven!!!

He pulled her more closer to himself as he roared like a wild wolf, unwilling to share it's belonging. Seb never felt so protected.

She shivered, Iven open his fist and patted her softly to comfort her fear,"Hush! I'm here", he whispered.

"But then....who was the other person who was a perfect duplicate of him???

Seb looked down at the one who just fell down. They are too identical, not a trace of difference. This can't be....they are actually.....
