Part 1

The Chapter for Secrealle

Kahlip knew his joy when he looked at little Lorande for the first time with her lovely and wonderful baldhead and short chubby figure. He saw the pleasure of being a father instantly. He looked at Lisa, then at Lorande again and again, feeling the joyous wonder of what he and Lisa had done. It didn't matter that Kahlip already had Karen, a second for her mother. Lorande was his and Lisa's special project and bundle of joy. Instantly though, Kahlip saw another child, in looking at Lorande, her name would be Frances, and he knew it, but she would be so much more. For the moment however, Lisa saw only Lorande, as she held her lightly and warmly tucked in that little pink blanket. Equally, Kahlip had to do the same, but he was still hopeful.

For Lisa, in looking between Lorande and her amazing father, Lisa felt love as if she had never before felt it, but she knew Kahlip wasn't any seemingly normal male thing. There was definitely something more to Kahlip than met the eye. Kahlip too, was a savior of sorts, but not to think too highly of him, she reconciled that any male thing that could come between her and Mick was a savior. The sad thing was that Mick was her brother. It wasn't easy to forget what Mick had done to her for what she pondered was his mental instability. Whether driven by lust or insanity, Mick had things going on in his mind that Lisa could never figure out. Kahlip had mentioned one time, and he said it so lovingly concerning Mick, but Mick was an alien form of consciousness, and that Lisa shouldn't look too hard on him for why. Lisa didn't fully understand Kahlip when he said that, but she took it to mean that there was a lot of love in Kahlip to be so filled with understanding. It still didn't make sense to Lisa. Ironically, in some ways she had listened to Kahlip, she did look at him with a kinder eye, which is why she would eventually forgive him, in a sense, and try to have the sister to brother relationship with him, that she thought she was supposed to have. For the moment however, she was in a hospital bed, holding her beloved Lorande, with her daughter's father enduring that same adoration for Lorande she possessed.

In one moment, looking at Kahlip, Lisa saw something in him that was timeless. Kahlip had this way at looking at life that was abnormal, but wonderfully unnatural or what she thought at least. That was part of what enchanted her about him. That was the thing about Kahlip; he wasn't charming. He was enchanting. And, Lisa had been enchanted. A side effect of this enchantment was that Lisa had found protection through him. Lisa was instantly rekindled with the notions she had about destroying her brother, the way she felt destroyed, but Kahlip stepped in. Kahlip told her that he could help her with Mick, that he would stop the molestation. He claimed that she would heal from Mick's effects. And, that was what Kahlip had done. Eventually, Lisa had come to forget what had happened to her because she had a knight in shining armor in Kahlip. Kahlip looked at her like the beautiful female creature she was. When they were together, she almost was able to forget that she was molested. She felt like nothing was ever lost in her for what Mick had done. Kahlip had healed her or at least that was how it seemed.

Kahlip endured the moment with Lisa, as she lied there in the hospital bed. He couldn't help but think of the thing she had going with Darion, which hurt Kahlip. And, what Lisa didn't recognize was that she wasn't wholly healed by him, and that was what Mick had done to her. What she didn't realize is that Mick and Darion or his twin at least were actually teamed up against her, and made Kahlip's job that much harder. However, that was what frustrated Kahlip that much more. Kahlip, as Plaenellian, as he was, was capable of treating Lisa, as if he was in love with her to such extents that there was no mistaking that, which he thought was between them. However, for what Mick had done, Lisa forsook that which was real love, and what that could feel like. Lisa had come to rationalize that what she had with Darion was seemingly normal. However, that was the power inherent in Seyion consciousness, and proved who Darion and Mick actually were, and to each other. It was where the molestation stemmed. If molestation was a battle plan, then Mick was the first wave in the effect, and Darion was the second. Lisa couldn't see this, but Kahlip did all too well. However, that was the point. The first wave on any battlefield is supposed to have the most profound effect, then, the second wave comes in with less force to complete the mission for the field of battle. That was Darion. And, Kahlip was supposed to be the effect against the first wave or to make the second's job harder than it would have been without him. This meant that Lisa thought Darion loved her the way Kahlip did. It was one thing Kahlip knew Lisa wouldn't feel from him, and that was what he felt for her. Darion didn't love Lisa, as she should have been loved. And, when Kahlip figured out that Lisa really wasn't expecting Darion to really love her, His heart broke silently, and he stopped wanting a life with her. In the end, he rationalized that he had done his...
