Cursebreaker [Dreams - I ]

➸ c h r i s t m a s p r e s e n t

Ayduin could sense her distress, her thoughts emanated pain, lot of pain. He winced and kicked and punched everything around. He was not sure if she was to be trusted but her pain was bothering him.

He paced around his room impatiently.

Someone knocked on the door and Ayduin looked up hatefully at the door.

Kamron walked in with a small box in his hand.

"What is this?" Ayduin asked rudely but that didn't bother Kamron at all.

"A drink to calm your nerves and put you to sleep. We have noticed you haven't been able to sleep for past two days. What's wrong?" He asked genuinely concerned.

Sleep, if artificially induced could easily help him to get rid her thoughts, of her pain. He stepped ahead and grabbed the box.

"There is something seriously wrong with you Ayduin, it is clear on your face." He commented observing him.

He glared at him in response, he did like talking to Kamron that doesn't mean he was suddenly Mr. Friendly and will open up to everyone around him

"Fine, fine don't tell me. I was just asking."Kamron said backing off lifting up his hands in a defeated gesture.

As Kamron left Ayduin intently looked at the box in his hand. He was left with a difficult choice here, should he drink the potion and fall into a dreamless sleep or he should just check if not help what was wrong with her.

He finally decided to drink the potion but as soon as he was about to drink the colorless liquid, a sharp pain hit his head and echoed with a shrill cry. He had to grab the nearest support to keep standing, it was that unsettling.

Without even giving a second thought he finally asked.

Aislin? Aislin? Are you okay?

For the moment all the mistrust was gone and he was extremely worried.

She was crying in her head, out loud, she was crying miserably.

Guilt was the first emotion that hit Ayduin and then he was pained, heart clenched in his chest.

What is it? What happened? He asked now getting even more worried and impatient.

Why do you care!? You finally found time for me! And anyway it's better you should stay away, I am not to be trusted in. I am cursed Ayduin, cursed. And not cursed like you, harmful to people you rule but cursed for people I love. And do you know..huh..do you know Ayduin how many people have I killed? Why is Darkmir so friendly to me? She let out a dark humorless laugh.

Ayduin heard everything silently. It was surprising to hear her angry thoughts. She was angry that he was not around, that thought made him happy. But then she herself asked him to stay away from her. And there was something seriously wrong with her, she couldn't kill people. What was she talking about? Or could she?

Aislin, calm down, please explain everything patiently. He said himself all tensed.

And she did, she explained everything. She had blind trust in him and he had no idea why and how can someone be so trusting. She hasn't even seen him but she told him everything. About her visit to the graveyard and unfortunate encounter with Darkmir, the things he told.

How they were connected just because they both were cursed and how so many had died just because the girl was deeply attached to them. And that she was being darkened by each soul she takes. She left out the part where she was the cure for his curse, since that will erase all the chances of wanting to keep her close to him.
