Not Me : 🎨 Yok's Tapestry 🔻this Is Not a Yok/Dan story🔻

"Because he's my brother. Todd is my brother."

Finn's words rang in the air. Although he spoke not much louder than a whisper, the words echoed through my head like the *peals of a huge churge bell, trapping me in the bell tower.

The room seemed to shrink and it grew very quiet around our table. Medusa unfortunately couldn't read the room very well despite being a very intrepid *journo. She threw questions at Finn like a car backfiring continuously. "How did I not know this," she kept asking.

"Yok please understand, I wasn't trying to fool you. I just needed to find Black or White." "Why are you telling me now?" "Because I don't want there to be any secrets between us. Not anymore." "Then why didn't you tell me from the beginning."

"I didn't expect to fall in love with you. You and Mae are both so important to me. " "If you don't mind Finn, could you please not contact my mother until I give you permission too. She is my concern, not yours, not anymore. "

Finn just stared at me .....

Finn tried explaining his brother's condition. He was also in a coma like Black was before. Difference is in this case Black was the perpetrator and he's been off the grid for the last three years.

It felt like my head was about to explode. It was all so much to digest. I got up slowly, afraid I might pass out given the circumstances I suddenly found myself in. "If you'll excuse me, mizz Braden, I think I need to leave."
I nearly stumbled in my haste to get outside.

Once outside I took a few deep breaths trying to clear my head. My thoughts felt .. fuzzy. I knew I wasn't drunk, but that's what it felt like. I bent over at the waist, letting my arms dangle next to my legs. A couple of quick breaths and back to a standing position.

As I stood up I heard my name being called. I looked around wondering if I heard properly. Someone was walking towards me. The *gait seemed familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. I watched as the figure drew closer.

At the same time I head Finn's voice coming from the opposite side. He was calling out to me too, but I didn't answer. I was focused on the oncoming figure clad in black.

As Finn drew closer, the figure suddenly stopped. I tried to walk towards it, but Finn grabbed my arm. "Yok I've been calling. Please listen to me Teng. My intention was not to upset you......" I cut him off mid sentence.

"Finn. Let me go. I need to catch him. " "Catch who Yok?" I pointed to the figure in black but there was no one there. Finn was still talking, but I wasn't hearing his words. " I recognised the gait," I thought.

I eventually grabbed Finn by the shoulders asking him to please just shut up for a few minutes. I just needed a moment to think. "Was that Danai ?"

Finn grew quiet. I turned towards him trying to make him understand what I think I just saw, but I wasn't prepared for the look on Finn's face. What I saw wasn't love ... It wasn't even hatred.. it was pain, as raw as I've never seen it before.

"Finn.... What's wrong?" For a moment he said nothing."Finn..... " I felt very scared suddenly. "Finn speak to me please." He turned and walked away from me. I felt a sense of loss which was like a *stake through my heart. "What the...." I clutched my chest....

Finn turned around. "It's all over," he said. "I killed him. I chose you and I killed him." He walked away from me, he walked out of my life.

I had one thought, "I need to stop him." "Finn !..... Finn !.... Wait ! Finn !"
"What's happening people?" "Medusa not now please. I need to find Finn." "Why. Where'd he go? I thought you two were joined at the hip. Were you with him last night?"
