A hope that dies last
Last Updated:
2021-10-29 02:54:27Suddenly, I heard nothing but crackling fire from the light of the torch. I hesitantly opened my eyes. Samil threw his torch at the bottom of the pile, yet it barely touched the wooden branches. The pile didn't start to burn. All it caused was a bit of smoke that was coming from one side of the pile. My heart was pounding frantically while my tears kept falling down my cheeks.
"Samil…" I mumbled, looking into his eyes.
He raised his head and gazed at me. His expression was slightly different from before. It wasn't as blank as if his consciousness started to resurface again…
"I love you…" I called softly, praying that it would be different this time, that my calling would finally reach him.
He stared at me in silence, then slowly turned his head to look around. At that moment, he stopped resembling a mere puppet. It was like one of his strings had been cut. I could see him clenching his teeth. I gasped, desperately hoping that his reac

Samil had never left my side on our way home, whether it was while we were on the ship or flying in the Bordas private jet. He kept asking me if I was ok. He did it so often that I started to find his concern over my health annoying. He wasn't the one that had been bothersome during our trip. Chris, Elijah and all the other men from Samil's army were coming one by one to apologize for trying to burn me at the stake. Although, I kept repeating that it wasn't their fault since they were controlled by magic, but recalling everything they had done while being compelled wasn't exactly helpful in recovery from their moral hangover… Despite the fact that I knew that it was all over and that I and everyone was safe, those horrifying moments were coming back each time I closed my eyes. Once I tried to get some sleep, I woke up screaming, but then Samil would hold me in his arms and tell me that there was nothing that could ever threaten us anymore. The warmth of his body was soothing
Last Updated : 2021-10-29A Kissing Spell Happy Birthday!
Ever since I remember I always loved stories with a happy ending. I loved fairytales, where the loving couple lived happily ever after in the end. First, I was obsessed with “Prince Charming”, always falling in love with the heroin at the first sight, and saving her with a kiss of true love.... As I got older I found more romantic types of love in all the manga and webtoon comics, but there was always some amazing hero type that won over the female lead's heart. When I became a teenager, I changed my target into a more “mature” one… That was the first time that I read about an incredibly handsome, cold, and calculative CEO.I quickly got addicted to those kind of stories. I literally read every comic and watched every drama, and movie where there was a powerful, tough, and often cruel, handsome guy wearing an expensive suit. I even stopped caring about the romance, because the male character completely kept devouring my attention. I kept dreamin
Last Updated : 2021-04-02A Kissing Spell Waiting for a magic
It had been 3 years since I had learned that I could die on my 30th birthday. My normal and quite boring life changed dramatically. I moved back to live with my Grandma. Every day I went to work at the TVM station, where I kept doing my low-paid job as an assistant scriptwriter. After work, I went back to help in Grandma's magical shop, and practiced magic, so I could find the only person in the world who could save my life… The fact was, I didn't make any progress in that matter. I kept thinking that maybe I had missed something. I used to go around the pond, from where I had saved the boy when I was twelve. I kept hoping to get some magical revelation, or remember some detail that I ignored before, but I guess that my magic abilities were… insufficient. Grandma taught me how to reach into the deepest parts of my memory to project vivid images inside my mind. That day in my memory was sunny. I was wearing a pretty white dress with pink flowers on it. I got it as a p

I couldn't focus on correcting the script for the rest of the day. I kept thinking about the glowing mark that I saw on our new CEO's hand. Was I really the only one who noticed it? I wanted to go home as soon as possible and ask Grandma about it, hoping that she would know what it was. I was both, terrified and excited. If it truly were magic, that would mean that I had experienced something supernatural for the first time in my super-rational life! At 5 PM, I literally ran out of the office, got on the bus, and then rushed to my Grandma's home. At this time of day, Granny was still working at the magical shop, so I went straight there. "Grandma! You won't believe what I saw…" "Perfect timing!" she interrupted me, "Stand behind the counter for a while, will you? I have picked the herbs from the garden. We ran out of chamomile…" As usual, she didn't wait for my reply. She just patted my shoulder and left the shop. I took a deep breath, and stood behin

That night I couldn't sleep. I was amazingly thrilled about putting my first spell and discovering magic within me. I acted like a child that finally learned how to ride a bike without anyone's help. I wasn't sure if I did the spell correctly, but I hoped there was no fine print clause that went along with the spell… "The boss, that the client mentioned would be all right… right?" I wondered nervously. I was certain that all my intentions that I tried putting into the spell were pure. I concentrated on healing that person… Too bad that I wouldn't be able to see the results of my freshly discovered magic. "What if the spell doesn't work…? What if that guy's pain gets worse?!" I started imagining every possible gloomy outcome. Then I thought about… using the magic on myself. "What if I could create the herbs and use them as sedatives? I could find out if my spell could actually work, and cool down at the same time!" I decided it would be a perfe

I was so tired I couldn't remember how I got home, washed my face, or went to sleep in my bed. Fortunately, I wasn't drunk enough not to set an alarm clock. I allowed myself to sleep for less than four hours. I hoped that it would be enough to sober up. My head was entirely filled with flashing images of the man who caught me and didn't let me fall to the ground. Was it possible that it truly was the one person I was looking for? Well… with all my luck, I figured the probability of that happening was around 0.1%. It was far more likely that my drunken senses simply captured the scent of a man. That alone was enough to wake up every hormone in my body and make them start a celebration! There was another thing… Those two words that the rescuer said also sounded familiar… But then again, it could all apply to the probability I had already mentioned. I was way too drained to keep discussing with myself the odds of finding that man inside my company. I fell asleep.

I cleaned up my desk and walked out of the station's headquarters. My mind went blank. My Grandma kept repeating that we could both live fine from the magic shop's income, but the truth was that the money the shop was giving was hardly enough for Grandma alone… Furthermore, there were months when I used my salary to buy products for the shop to keep the sales going. It was obvious that I would have to look for another job. The weather outside was gloomy… just like my mood. I stopped crying, but I was miles away from smiling either. At least I could tell those people the truth, and I was going to tell myself that it was worth it, even if I had to starve for some time until I would find another way to make an income. I sat on the bench at the bus stop and looked at the grey, cloud-covered sky. Suddenly, I saw a rainbow, out of nowhere. It was strange since the air wasn't humid, and it wasn't raining earlier either. The sun wasn't shining, which made this bow of rainbow

"What did you just say?" the CEO asked with a freezing cold voice. My mind went blank, when I realized he heard what I said. "Are you deaf? I asked you a question," he glared at me. My system began an emergency reboot. In the meantime, I gaped at him in absolute panic. "Were you trying to use that cheap line… to seduce me?" he sneered, looking me up and down. "No!" I shouted, "I mean… you are handsome and all… No! I mean… Mr. CEO is a handsome man, but I would never try… not like that… I mean, no! I mean, Mr. CEO is totally worth seducing! But… I'm not the kind of a person to do that…" I mumbled frantically, praying for someone to shoot me. He gave me a pitying stare, the one you might give to a total idiot. My subconscious slapped its forehead… hard. As a scriptwriter, I desperately tried to find some reasonable excuse for my previous actions. "This scene… I mean this office, and Mr. CEO reminded me of… of a script I write! An

A Kissing Spell The execution
Ezzura had cast a spell that filled the entire island, including the irresilient to her magic Samil. She compelled everyone. Now, they were all her own army that obeyed her unconditionally…I guessed, she clearly wanted to torture my heart before she would burn my body, doing everything she could to break me. She picked a beach as a place where I should be burned at the stake, and she told Samil to take me there. I didn't have any strength left to resist. He tossed me over one shoulder like a bag of sand, and then he carried me out of the witches' castle. I tried calling his name, but he didn't react at all, as if he had become an empty shell that once had been someone who loved me…"I have to admit that your magic is extraordinary," Ezzura chuckled while walking to the beach. "Can you see how easily I had changed everyone into my puppets? Your magic in this life is even stronger than the one you had as Immara."She kept glancing cheerfully, admiri
A Kissing Spell Fooled twice…
For a few seconds, I was unable to open my eyes. I heard a continuous, high-pitched sound in my ears. It covered all the other sounds I could hear, and disturbed my focus. Finally, I forced my eyelids to open. My vision was slowly coming back… I was lying on the floor in the middle of the witches' courtroom, trying to comprehend what had just happened. I nervously lifted my upped body to sit and look around. When I did, I gulped. All the witches from the group of the eldest were dead. Their bodies were lying motionless on the ground. Some were covered in blood, some looked like they were electrocuted. It was a massacre, and I was sitting in the middle of it… Suddenly, I saw Ezzura nonchalantly walking around the hall, gloating over the victory. I flinched, then I clenched my teeth. My previous visions, Immara's memories, the feeling of betrayal, they all came back and filled every inch of my body. I instantly raised my hands in order to attack her, but… nothi
A Kissing Spell That piece of memory…
"W-what?" I murmured nervously, gazing at Sister.She avoided my stare. She must have known from the beginning that I was the incarnation of her younger sister, the one she told me about. Now, the fact that she claimed that she didn't remember her name and told me to call her "Sister" made me grit my teeth. Why couldn't she tell me?! Even if she wasn't certain if I remember my past life, couldn't she tell me that I look exactly like her late sister?! I felt confused and betrayed, and the most disturbing fact was that I had never recalled having an older sister in the memories of my past life…"Oh… I can see that she didn't tell you, did she?" Shelta chuckled coldly. "She had been told to gain your trust and kill you, but once she had learnt that you were sisters, she disobeyed the orders. She even decided to trick us to save your life, but you had to die even after you had lost your powers…"My head started to spin. I glanced at Sister. I co
A Kissing Spell The witches' court
There was a road outside the forest. It led straight to the witches' castle. It looked like a fortress. It had high stone walls around it, and an enormous iron gate at the front. Samil walked at the front. Sister and I were right behind him, and the rest of the soldiers marched in formation, moving towards the gate while constantly fighting off the witches. Finally, we forced the witches to run back to their castle. They ran to the gates, banging on them and desperately crying to those in charge to open the entrance. Yet Mahala and the rest of the witches in charge were deaf to their pleading voices. They would rather let them die at those gates than open them. I gave Sister a signal, nodding my head, and we hit those witches with our magic, making them fall into a coma."Chris, get the explosive to blast those gates," Samil ordered."Understood," Chris replied, then abruptly turned around to get the bombs ready."Wait!" I called out, "There's no need for that.
A Kissing Spell The beginning of the battle…
It was dawning when Sister finished her story. We managed to drink three bottles of wine, but certainly we didn't have to worry about getting drunk or having a hangover. Lack of sleep couldn't bother us either. That was the upper side of being a witch.After the whole night of talking, we used a few spells to improve our looks. Then I made us breakfast, and we were ready to work on making the cor inane for Samil's men. Chris showed up after 10 AM and brought the clothes and other things for Sister. Then his men delivered thousands of crystals, some for the amulets and some to make a powder that can be used on bullets. There was a lot of work ahead of me and Sister.For the first time, I was glad that Samil wasn't around. I felt more at ease then. I didn't have to worry about my boyfriend's peculiar behavior. I wasn't sure if he'd act the same way the next time he and Sister met, but I'd rather not think about it at the time...Sister was friendly towards everyon
A Kissing Spell Her past...
I was exhausted from too much thinking. I was anxious, but I had to pretend that everything was all right in front of Sister. I didn't want her to jeopardize our alliance right before that big fight. It was something I couldn't afford. I wished Sister goodnight while wearing a perfect smile. I saw her casually lying in bed and closing her eyes. I wished I could fall asleep as peaceful as she did.I tossed and turned in bed, hearing my pounding heart. I was terrified. If Sister's magic wasn't effected by the power of the seal, it could mean that her abilities were far beyond mine. It could mean that Sister's magic was great enough to defeat the demonic power within the seal, and as far as I was concerned, no witch had ever done it. How could I consider myself as a witch from the prophecy then?I wasn't that arrogant to think of myself as the most powerful witch in the world. I had never craved for power. I just wanted to feel confident about winning, and now I was becom
A Kissing Spell Fragile alliance
Samil took Sister and me to my apartment. While driving, he turned out to be surprisingly considerate towards Sister and even sent someone to get clothes, shoes, and other basic stuff for her to accommodate comfortably in her new environment. Perhaps I should be glad that he was helpful, but I couldn't help it. It just bothered me more and more. I tried not to show it, yet keeping a smile on my face was no longer possible. Unlike me, Samil was… smiling. He was smiling towards Sister. I had noticed it a few times, and it instantly brought chills to my spine. He'd never been so submissive to me, and now, Sister said a single word, and he immediately made a phone call to get her what she wanted!I felt completely left out in a conversation while we were in the car. If I had been an outsider, I would have thought that she was Samil's girlfriend, not me. I didn't like it in the slightest. I kept telling myself that there were more important things to handle, things concerni
