Chapter 66: Her Past
Chapter 66: Her Past
The kiss was broken, and I looked straight into her eyes without showing even a hint of fear. Even though my life was on the line, I didn’t regret kissing her.
From her face, I could tell she was boiling with rage.
After taking a deep breath, she turned around and walked away without speaking to me.
I panicked and started running after her.
“Wait!” I yelled.
Despite my attempts to get her attention, she simply waved, and that space was visible again. She stepped into it to leave. As soon as she left, I followed her.
As I emerged from that space, I saw she was standing in a particular spot with her back facing me.
Slowly, I approached her and saw that she was deep in thought.
“I’m sorry,” I replied slowly.
In my life, it was the first time I’d kissed someone forcefully, but I don’t regret it.
Upon looking at her, I realize how tranquil she seemed as if nothing had happened between us. With a soft voice, she asked, “Why?”
Why? Although even I am unsure why I kissed her, I simply could not stand her distressed face. I had a deep desire to hold her in my arms and shield her from the world.
It surprised me myself; I was not like this. It is the second time in my life that I have felt this way about someone. First was Lucia, the woman in my dream, and the second was Amelia.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I forgot to even answer her. I caught a glimpse of her disappointment on her face as she shrugged her shoulders and walked away.
“Wait!” I shouted, holding her hands.
The instant she turned around to look at me, I immediately released her hand and stared directly into her eyes.
“In truth, even I don’t know how I got the courage to kiss you, but as soon as I saw the distressed look on your face I couldn’t help but…”
I paused midway when she averted her eyes to look elsewhere.
Not knowing what to think, I felt frustrated when she didn’t want to be with me.
“I apologize for this, and I will not allow it to occur again,” I told her and walked away.
Having made my way to the river again, I dove in. No, I didn’t want to drown to death. I just wanted to clean myself off.
Coming out of the river, I spotted Amelia sitting a short distance away.
After I approached her, I asked, “When will we go for the hunt?”
After looking around, I realized it would be evening soon.
Shaking her head, she replied, “Let’s go back now, we’ll do it tomorrow.”
Nodding anyway, I don’t think she feels like accompanying me today.
I followed her slowly as we made our way back to the village. We were just standing at the entrance to the village when it appeared again after some time.
As she entered, I followed her.
Suddenly, I noticed everyone was looking at me differently. There is nothing I can do about my hair being gone.
Amelia began walking to her house immediately. My eyes were fixed on her disappearing figure as I stood on the spot.
With a sigh, I walked towards my hut. However, I noticed granny sitting at her place and gazing at me.
A smile spread across her face as she motioned for me to come.
As I sat beside her, I looked at her. I’m not sure what she wanted to say. As of right now, all I wanted was to be alone.
“How was your day?” she asked me,
“It was great,” I nodded to her.
“Amelia is angry with you?” she asked.
When I looked at the place where Amelia was staying, I could only see a closed door.
“Perhaps,” I answered granny, staring at the door.
“Do not misunderstand her. She has her difficulties,” Granny told me.
With questioning eyes, I gazed at Granny.
“We hope for the day when we can be free from the chain of fate,” she replied.
As she continued, “She was just a normal girl, born in the village, cheerful and bright, the strongest of her peers.”
“The day she lost the one for whom she had hoped to spend the rest of her life was the day she changed. “
My heart stopped when I heard she had a partner. But how did she lose him?
“Lost?” I inquired.
‘Someone from outside captured him,’ she said.
My mouth dropped open. He was caught, but isn’t the village in danger?
As Granny explained before, I asked her the question, “Amelia used her power to make him forget about us and the village, but she didn’t come to the term to kill him.”
Now I understand why she was like that.
“How could that happen?” I asked Granny.
‘If Amelia wants, she will tell you by herself. But don’t misunderstand her,’ Granny told me.
“Well, I understand. Well anyway, take care,” I said to granny before leaving.
With a smile on her face, Granny replied, “Go, take a rest.”.
As I walked to my hut, I just glanced over at Amelia’s. Seeing her just open the door, coming out of the Hut, she looked around.
She glanced at me, but I shook my head and went to my hut.
When I got to my hut, I closed the door and sat on my bed.
I remembered my kiss to Amelia today. It was the second time I felt towards anyone. Despite spending time with Olivia and Alexandra, Amelia was a different story.
Hah, maybe those girls felt the same way about me when I was on earth. However, I am feeling the same way now.
Anyhow, I can’t change anything. It’s her life and her choice. My goal is to make her feel the same way about me, but will never force her to do so. If she wants to be with me, she will be with me.
Then, with renewed determination, I stood up and took off my dress. My ears suddenly picked up the sound of the door opening.
Turned my head, I saw Amelia standing at the door staring at me.
