Back in the castle, Shawn walked into the room that once belonged to Dominic. He had entered first as he was the only one who had kept the key to Dominic’s room. Upon entering after his younger brother, Dominic found that nothing had been moved from his room. “I thought you would at least looked around to search for my possessions and destroy them,” Dominic said for Shawn to turned his face at him with a raise of his eyebrow.“Why would I have to do that? As you know. I only planned to kill you as you have hurt me, I don’t care much about what you have. I know there are some things that I want to find an answer of from you but I also knew that this room won’t have those answers,” Shawn looked at the empty room that only have things that are needed for one to survive, such as the books and the furnitures. There were no pictures, there was nothing that would remind anyone of a person’s presence inside the room. Shawn also knew of Dominic’s habit of sleeping anywhere beside the castle,
Dominic didn’t manage to look behind quickly as the only thing he could think of was to chase after Rose. He was startled when he saw how Jeremiah managed to bring himself to stand again and tried to attack him by swinging the sword to his body. Dominic frowned and in the last moment he managed to avoid the deadly sword that almost slashed his neck. A small wound opened from his cheek and blood dripped out like a teardrop to his jaw. Shawn then yelled, “I will take care of him. You can go after Rose!” Dominic bite his lips and nod his head firmly. He dashed toward the door but didn’t leave immediately. He made sure to stop at the door and turned his head at Shawn for a while. “Thank you,” Dominic whispered out and pulled a smile even though there was a faint frown of guilt between his strong forehead. Shawn didn’t manage to answer as he left before he could manage to form a word from his shock. The younger brother could feel his heart wavering hearing for the first time how his o
Shattering screams and cries filled the castle. Christopher had to watch his men kill each other while the others tried to kill him. They had tried to stop themselves but they couldn’t and instead when Isaac was bored, he would make the soldier to kill themselves, resulting to pool of blood to river down underneath them. Christopher walked backward in horror, not knowing how Isaac had stood right behind him. Isaac smiled in menace and pushed his head forward as he whispered, “This is the power of those people who you killed. Do you regret it now, Christopher?” Christopher looked at Isaac who had gone mad and shook his head, “You are crazy. You are insane!” “Say that to yourself!” Isaac screamed back to him and for a moment Christopher saw how Isaac’s face had morphed and from his head was a shadow of a devil’s horn. “Do you know what will happen if people like us who are filled with so much anger to kill you right now are let loose?” Christopher shook his head and stepped backward
Dominic rushed to chase after Rose. He didn’t understand why Rose had suddenly appeared after leaving him earlier and now, she walked peacefully across the hallway as if she was taking a stroll back to her home. “Rose! Rose!” Dominic yelled her name with his loving tone which would never fail to bring her attention back to him but this time it didn’t work. Rose didn’t turned her face and instead she had turned a deaf ear to his words pretending as if she hadn’t heard him at all. Dominic run after her only to realize that she had entered the library. Following her, he opened the door before it closed and lifted his face to find her disappearance. “Please don’t do this to me, Rose. Talk to me, I can’t understand anything if you appear and disappear from my eyes. I can’t understand if you don’t communicate with me.”Rose didn’t reply but smelling her lingering scent, Dominic was more than certain that she was somewhere near him inside the library and she still hadn’t left. “Rose,” Do
Dominic pulled away as he traced his finger over his lips after it was pressed to hers. He shook his head and whispered out slowly, “You lied.” It was difficult to know if Dominic had uttered those words from anger or sadness. It was also hard to tell what feeling that had took over him the most. He stared blankly at Rose as she had a firm look on her face even after seeing how easy he was ruined by her words. “Rose. You can leave me but not the others. It’s too cruel for you to let them forget about you,” Dominic whispered out in regret. “And I’m sorry for ruining your life.”“You don’t have to be sorry and you don’t have to repay me in any way by breaking my curse. We should simply part ways here,” Rose walked away from him but stopped when she heard his daring words.“But I cannot part ways with you,” Dominic looked into her eyes firmer than any metal in the world. “You can hate me but don’t leave me. If it is something about me then I can change myself—“ Dominic hadn’t only aske
Starvos frowned at the odd boy. He always felt unsettled with Shawn, finding the young man was not dangerous but rather.. he was unstable. It felt as though he could flip at any second, being the scariest person but then his smile shows that he was the happiest person on earth now. The quick turn of Shawn’s emotion wasn’t much to Starvos’ liking as he felt uncomfortable with the boy who felt as if he could stab and attack everyone around him now even though he hold no grudge. “I won’t believe anything unless Dominic said he could believe you,” Starvos made his point but he didn’t attack Shawn at once as he saw the umbrella held on Shawn’s hands. “Isn’t that the object that Dominic wanted to bring from the castle?” Mona questioned for Starvos to nod slowly. This was why he hesitate. If they had somehow ruined the umbrella, the one to suffer the loss wouldn’t be Shawn but Dominic. As long as Shawn hold the umbrella, neither of them could attack him. “You should be grateful to the u
Starvos and Mona heard as Shawn spilled all his me,pries about Rose. The elders who had always kept Rose on their heart closely and hidden it keep her as their own daughter figure was shocked to find that they had forgotten about her, someone who they had apparently loved and cared so deeply as much as they had cared for Dominic. Starvos was confused. He asked himself why could he forgot about her but then no matter how long Shawn had brought up their deepest memories, they still couldn’t remember much about Rose.They couldn’t even remember how did she looked like and what her voice sounded like. Shawn who saw this was impressed. He didn’t know the magic that Rose had worked on would be so perfect that no one could remember a single thing about her. But he thought to himself that Dominic shouldn’t be too worried. While it’s true that Rose had ran away from him, she didn’t seem to want so that his memories about her to be forgotten, meaning she deep down had always wanted so that sh
Fominic lifted his face and frowned slowly after hearing Shawn’s words. That would mean that he didn’t hurt her by curse by making everyone to forget about her? Because.. the curse that had made people to forget her wasn’t done by the demon?“That makes no sense then for her to blame you,” said Shawn again and he wondered how someone who always spoke of him lovingly would suddenly change her mind and hate Dominic deeply with all her heart or even blaming Dominic for saving him when she knew this was one of the sore spot in Dominic’s heart. “I don’t know, I don’t understand but I could tell by her scent that she wasn’t lying to me that she really did blamed me,” Dominic replied, recalling how firm Rose’s eyes were as she had shouted the most hurtful words she had toward him while he listened and take in the words that he thought he deserved to hear. “Perhaps she had to erase everyone’s memories by her own hands as the demon request her to,” Dominic whispered out the possibility.Mona
