POV AKIRA SELENA

Sometimes, if not every time, looking out the window is the same as looking at a painting whose landscape remains intact despite the advancing time on the clock suspended on the dining room wall.

Skyfall is a small, quiet town protected by countless mountains in the farthest reaches of North America. The sun is a stranger to us, and when it decides to visit, it hides among the thick clouds and is not even noticed by many. My mother told me that the guardians drove the sun from our land because it reminded us of the gold and glitter of precious stones that cost the lives of many of our ancestors. So we serve the night and the moonlight, and our song is the howling of wolves that guide the wild spirits of warriors with spears and arrows in their hands.  But of course these are just stories told by my people. A failed attempt to add something interesting to this place, and thus beat boredom if only for ten minutes. However, my mother blindly believes in these old tales, to the point that she chose Selena for my name. 

"Akira, the one who was chosen by the sacred to fight alongside the new warrior chosen by fate."

She confided to me one day after she had abused her drink a bit. 

And when I asked my father the meaning of those words, he faced me and said: 

" Your mother is always right.”

 So he continued to work on his spear project.

The truth is that in no way do I look like my parents. While their skin, is dark, their cheeks a little reddish and their eyes are small and almond shaped, my eyes are expressive like two twinkling stars and my skin is so clear that there could be no other name more perfect for me than Selena who reminds of the moon. Our long straight black hair that falls down our shoulders, keeping our ears and necks well warm, being the only feature we have in common.

I would easily feel like an ET in Skyfall if it weren't for the Rockefeller family. They are the only ones who do not have the physical characteristics similar to my parents or the entire local population. 

 Mr. Jeremy Rockefeller is an outsider, as he is often referred to by most of the villagers. I prefer to call him the gentleman from the future. His arrival symbolizes a huge gain for Skyfall. A breath of modernity combined with a desire to turn my small town into an attractive tourist and investment zone. However, not everyone approves of the idea. Mr. Jeremy must have lost count of how many wooden doors of the little stone and straw houses have slammed in his face. A huge insult to Mr. Rockefeller who lives in a luxurious mansion somewhat removed from the other houses. You see, territory is a word to be taken seriously when talking about my people, as is the word family. Which leads me to suspect that this is the reason he has always brought his two children along on our brief "summers", thus painting an image of an exemplary father and head of the family.

Lilian and Richard, her children, are my friends, or at least we pretend they are. You see, at first impression it was hard to believe that someone like them would want a friendship from a girl who uses bow and arrow better than cutlery on a table. But to everyone's surprise, our friendship has lasted through time. And although Richard has to stay the last few years in the big city so that one day he can take over his father's responsibilities, I'm sure nothing has changed. Or at least I hope not...

"Doesn't that letter have too much red in it?"

My mother asks with an insinuating tone of voice as she sees lots of roses on the white paper.

I have never seen a rose, but I have learned to recognize the flower through my memories about the spring told by Lilian  

"Don't start, Mom!"

I dodge as much as I can, fully aware how insistent she can be when things are not to her liking.

"Do you really believe they are your friends? They only want your friendship to get closer to our people" She continues.

" What harm is there? I would also feel very bad about being rejected by a people if I had intentions as good as Mr. Jeremy's." 

I argue, finishing putting on my imported jacket that Lilian gave me last year.

"Besides, I also like to know about the world out there, their world, where women wear clothes like these or even better. Lilian showed me pictures of so many places and things that I need to see and do. I feel good around them, not like a fish out of water when I am with the young people of our people."

I speak, opening my heart. But, her gaze remains distant and her countenance apprehensive.

"Alfred will escort you there" She decrees.

Is that serious? Did she listen to a word I said? 

"Mom, please! I am 20 years old, I don't need someone to accompany me!" 

I protest.

"No negotiations!" she says and I look away from her to my father.

" Dad, please!" 

" Your mother is always right!" He replies before going back to work on his spear.

Someone knocks on the door, soon my mother goes to open it and I can't believe it's Alfred.

" Wait, how did you know so quickly that my mother is waiting for you?"

They look at each other and I get the feeling that they are hiding a secret from me.

" What matters is that he is here and will accompany you" My mother says.

 And again my words, like my questions, are ignored by her. So I know there is no other option.

 But, is a dinner party at the Rockfeller mansion worth the sacrifice of me enduring the company of the most annoying thick boy in all of Skyfall?

    AKIRA SELENA Obviously, a dinner at a Rockefeller mansion deserves any and all sacrifices on my part. I am so excited, I can't wait to hear the stories of the new adventures they went on during this time we were away. The worst part will be that I won't have a single good or interesting story to tell. What could I say? That I finally learned how to hunt animals on the first try of my arrow shot? That is so boring that I don't even want to hear myself. " You're bewitched by them…" Alfred comments, as if I need his intrusion into my life as well. " I'm just not an idiot not to see the opportunity that is being friends with the Rockefeller family" I continue walking without looking back as he comes walking like a guard dog, there being a distance of one meter separating our bodies. Why doesn't he keep quiet? Everything was perfect until now... "You know the history of our people, in which men like Mr. Rockefeller only wanted our land and what could be in it" He explains the story

    POV ALFRED ... A spear going through my heart? I listened to Akira comment. Not only is she stubborn, she is also sarcastic. I sigh in boredom that I wasn't there to spice up this conversation even more. I would say something like: " Mr. Jeremy wishes to test?" I am amused at the thought. It's a shame that the two of them walk away until they completely disappear from my sight. Soon the gate closes with great intensity. The men in black glare at me after lining up, forming yet another wall to protect the Rockefellers. And guess what, this one is just as easy to breach as the other. However, I don't have to be a wild animal every time. I reach into my coat pocket for a bottle of booze, take small swigs, and it doesn't take long for their teeth and lips to quiver with desire for a bit. " Are you served?" I stretch the bottle towards them.Mister Jeremy won't know. He's in there drinking and eating the best, fuck you guys out here." First, indecision dominates in their gestures and

    POV AKIRA Between Alfred and Richard, it's not hard to see their differences. Richard is so sweet and kind, living up to his honey brown eyes and his darker brown locks like a tree trunk where you rest in search of peace. And his kiss proves to be a calm breeze of this so called summer I never knew. He was my first love while my pure and naive heart did not realize the countless obstacles I would have to face because he was a big city boy. Now seeing him in front of me, smiling at me, awakens feelings that I believed were dormant. "May I kiss your hand, Akira?" Someone asks. " Huh?" I'm still dreaming. " If I can kiss your hand. I asked twice." Richard says embarrassed and I come to my senses of what is happening. " My hand? Oh no need. I'm used to being forcibly pulled by Alfred when I throw tantrums." I tell one of my everyday pranks, but everyone remains serious, which makes me blush. Better keep your mouth shut, Akira. " In the big city the men are gentlemen and kiss th

    POV Alfred "I don't know Great mother. I think the chosen Alpha will feel a calling in his heart" I reply to the old woman still sitting in front of me. Both she and the old father, are still looking at me with a look of a teacher who expects his student to know the answer to the question. "And what do you feel in your heart?" The old father asks tenderly, so that I dispel my suspicions that it is my vanity that is this voice whispering inside me. " Is it me...?" I don't know if it is a question or an answer. " Of course it's you, hollow head!" Says the older mother, tapping my head lightly. I bet that this "hollow head", she learned from Akira. Only she calls me that. Alpha, Akira, calm down! "Am I Alpha? I mean, am I the chosen warrior? Akira and I, we were made for each other like the roar of a wolf and the moonlight?!" I am elated that I can barely process all this information. " If you don't believe it, how do you expect Akira to believe it?!" The big mother say

    POV RICHARD " A wild rival? Comical!" Sacarmo takes over my mood. All that was left of company was my car, and if he could talk, he would be as upset as I am now. We have that in common: being irresistible to women, or at least I thought so. I'd rather bet that Akira Selena isn't smart enough to see what an advantage it is to have me on her side. Or just, she is so amazed at all that I can offer, that she can hardly choose what is best for her. How much effort will I need to make to please her? Isn't it enough that I have to return to this end of the world to woo a poor wretch who should be begging on her knees for my love? I hate Skyfall and everything about that primitive world of Selena. I hope my father is right about the riches that might be in store among those mountains, otherwise it will be a wasted time all the years I have come here and received absolutely nothing but this cold and closed faces of men who possess a foolish pride of who might measure strength with a Ro

    POV AKIRA SELENAI admit how skeptical I can be about everything involving Skyfall, but on one thing, if not the last thing, not even the greatest among skeptics would remain indifferent. From living here so much, I know, that only something very magical would make everyone work hard before nine in the morning. Because the day does not go well with skyfallers, and even less so when the sky gives clear signs that today will not offer us its usual gray, but a splendid blue that has changed in such a short time.How did it happen? I wouldn't be able to explain, and frankly, no one is interested when there is so much to do for the party right at dusk. Men, women, old people and children all get together to make the preparations for the big day. In the decoration, many colors are mixed and apparently emotions too. This is how I feel when my gaze has just met Alfred's in the middle of the crowd. His strong arms are carrying tree trunks that will serve as firewood and seats around the bon

    POV ALFRED Hours before meeting Akira at the festival preparations… My steps are calm. I don't want to frighten the beautiful bird that is preparing for its flight. I don't want to hit it with an arrow. I am afraid that its blood will stain my luck. So I risk a jump and my fingers pull a feather, in return, he pulls my finger with his big beak. Our encounter turns into a war until I get the perfect feather. The bird flies away and I return to near old dad who is amused by the whole situation. "Wouldn't a letter on a flowery paper be more effective?" I grumble. I am not at all confident in this plan. Because the fact that Akira has shown herself to be more open since she left the Rockefeller mansion doesn't mean that she prefers things like that over her imported jacket she got from Lilian or Christian's stupid letter. "Old father, this might be my last chance. I don't want to waste it..." I confess my longings, and honestly, there is no one better to listen to me than him. "T

If this is not a dream, what is happening in Skyfall?I have never witnessed such a sunny day, even though it is "summer". I get up in displeasure and go to the window to draw the curtains. My intention is to go back to sleep, but seeing those ridiculous little houses of the Skyfallers decorated with bright colors, I remember that today is the festival. It's been almost two days and not a single sign of Akira. My arrogance is enough to assume that she is waiting for me today with open arms and that this distance between us is just a ploy on her part to match the extremely coy matchmaking girls in the big city. I don't understand the reason for this, because I am not willing to give her any choices. She will be my wife and that will be our happy ending.I close the curtains, ending the depressing spectacle of these w

And even though it is not me, I feel elated by the longing he feels for me . However, my heart squeezes to know that she insists on talking to the woman even though she recognizes that she is just a copy of me. I am glad he leaves the stage, but to my double dose of disappointment, it is to talk to another woman. The one who has accompanied him since his arrival in this splendid hall, and like me, she is uncomfortable with the possibility that Alfred is interested in the girl on the stage. I see the emotion of jealousy as a giant cloud around this Teresa. And it annoys me that she interrupts Alfred when he was going to explain why this girl is so important. Apparently it concerns me too, because Teresa mentions my name. However, she is not important to me, when I know now that Alfred

But, what I have to receive from her, is a beautiful slap given to my face. "That's for disgracing my last chance to change my life. I don't know who you are, but stay away from me!" She says and walks off without looking back. "My name is Alfred, I am a skyfaller, indigenous as you speak. I met your sister and I need you to listen to me..." This information spoken out of my desperation to see her go, does slow the brave girl down, but not enough for her to look at me or give up on leaving. "I know you were left as a baby in a church. I have come for you, Miss, whatever your name is..." I am forced to speak the whole truth and hope that she feels prodded to know about her past. And apparently, this time it works.

And being a woman of life affronted his values as much as he cultivated that everyone deserves God's forgiveness."It's not from sin. I will remake my life with a good and serious man.

The only things that change are the ambitions.One day, a part of me laments that I am not a high society lady, that I cannot wear luxurious dresses and jewelry. Another morning, the other part of my self, is thankful for the freedom.My classmates still sleep in their rooms. Good thing we have a house we can call our own. Luckily, my friend and colleague Cecilia ensnared an old man and he granted her the deed before he passed away. The man had no children, which ensured that we would not be evicted a week later. Laws don't usually apply to people like us, while those who belong to high society, their word is enough.So it's no sin to delight in the old age and withering away of petty men who in their youth, by daylight, would kick women like us like a freckled dog, and at night, rub themselves on our bed shamelessly and wit
