Chapter 17
1019words
I was alone while looking down at my body. It's like I'm looking at a mirror, only that the body that i am seeing now seemed more peaceful than ever. My face looked kinder asleep.. while i? Im a vicious person.
Maybe it was for the best if i died? I thought.
Earlier, when i saw Syrena running inside this room. I saw her mouth moving like she was trying to say something, but i couldn't hear her like i did before.
I couldn't hear what they were talking about and why my Mate suddenly tried to kill her by choking her. It's not really that i care but maybe it has to do something with me, he did left with her after all.
If i die would i forget? Deep inside me i wanted to forget the past. But how can i? Forgetting it would be a sin. That memory scarred me for life, maybe it was my punishment.
Or maybe it was a lesson to never.. Love again.
Meeting my Mate made me feel worse. Did i deserve him? No. i'm fully aware that if he knew me he would just reject me. That's one of the reasons why i ran away, it's the least i guess?
My eyes traveled around the room, then i stopped at the window. I've guessed that being a soul wandering around made things.. peculiar. Just like how time passes so quickly in this dimension.
The sun quickly going down as if it was in hurry.
"Christal.."
My eyes widened, a voice? How can that be? I thought i couldn't hear anything anymore. I glanced around the room and saw no one. Was i imagining things? I heard it once more, it's coming from the outside.
"Who's there?" i asked.
"Forget thou shall.. love thy right one." a lingering voice.
No this is just my inner thoughts.. i am a wandering soul after all. There can't be another person in here, can be? As i was thinking how things can possible get worse, it did. I saw yet the woman in white passed through the door.
But this time, i didn't freak out. Instead, i seek it out, maybe she was the one talking. If she was i would like to ask how can she be here? How can she be stuck here with me?
Gina?
She didn't respond, would she ever?
I shook the thoughts off my mind and stood still, i walked towards the door and peeked right through it. I saw the White Woman, i was facing her back while she stood quitely infront of the darkness infront of her.
"Don't go near there, if you go you may not come back." I warned, fully aware of the possibilities of that darkness, the two idiots still beneath us.
"You knew and yet you still pursued to do it? How ironic of you Christal."
Somehow i felt pissed at her words, it irritated me that somehow it connects to me. That.. those words that i said ironically shot right back to me. Nevertheless, how the hell does she know me?
"Don't care. never will. So how do you know me? And what're you doing here?" I said standing in a distance behind her.
"Forget thou shall.. love thy right one."
I stepped forward, curiosity hits me as she spoke. She seemed gentle yet bitter like she knew how to dealt with me, to persuade me something was up. "Show yourself."
I looked down and tried to cover my mouth as a gasp escaped my lips, her body was floating, her feet above the ground as the dress that she wore touched beneath. What the hell? Is she a demon? But she looks so pure.
Then again, she repeated those annoying words. "Forget thou shall... love thy right one."
SYRENA's POV
One day, only one day to save her.
When we arrived at the kingdom, i quickly told The alpha King that i must not be disturbed at my quarters, for i must open this book alone.
I held it with sweaty hands as i looked at it, it was covered in dust. I leaned slowly, removing the dust using my right hand. Can i open this? I was worried that it would reject me.
It was a White Witch's book after all.
No, i have to open it. This is our last chance to revive her pained body, if i don't. I may die like her as well, but in a more painful way. I wiped my sweat even though the air was cold, wrapping itself around me, made me more nervous.
"Oh.. i have to close the lights." I said and rushed in to the switch and turned it off, the sunset slowly showing itself. For me to perform the opening spell, i need a quiet place to settle in, maybe the forest? No.. too many chirping birds.
I think my quarters are enough, i sat on the ground while the book laid itself in front of me. Still doubting myself, i pushed away all thoughts and said the words of the opening spell, it's a spell that will let me speak with the spirit guardian of the book.
"Aperi vetitum Aufer tenebras domini tui in me est."
The cold breeze froze, everything went still and it scared me. This is the first time i had done this and most of the witches that i heard who did wasn't successful, because the book is solely attached to its owner.
I inhaled and repeated the spell. "Aperi vetitum Aufer tenebras domini tui in me est."
Why won't it let me open it? Maybe it doesn't want me to replace its owner? But if i don't how can i open this book? I have to persuade it. I was about to speak when the character in the book that i held was changing, slowly fading into a new character, as if it was speaking to me.
-Tenebris anus quaeram cur hunc librum-
(Dark witch, why do you seek this book?)
"sanare intermorientis a werewolf."
(To heal a dying werewolf).
