Chereads / Curse of Love ~Short Story~ Pt1 / Chapter 8 - Final Act: The dream

Chapter 8 - Final Act: The dream

"The one you love most will accompany you on a journey like any other." The old lady said with an horrifying laugh to follow.

Opening up her eyes, Seirin turns to her side to see Kael staring at her with a smile on his face.

"You did it."Says Seirin in a calm tone.

"We did it. Although we've yet to realize all our goals we still have each other after all."Says Kael.

"Yeah, you're right. I'm honestly just happy with the two of us together, we can conquer anything." Rests her head on Kael's shoulder.

"Awe so their was thoughts going through your mind thinking we couldn't do the impossible." Playfully spoken by Kael.

"A tiny bit. But that's normal, I was simply worried about our future is all. It started off on a bad note."

"No kidding..."

"So what now?"Questioned Seirin.

"We leave the country and never come back. Let's put our family names in the past and create new ones. We start a family and raise them to risk it all for the ones they love. Love can conquer anything ya know?"

"That you're right."Holding hands the two comfort one another in their moment of dire situation.

"Say Kael what should we name our children?"

"We're naming them already?!"

"I mean yeah. It won't be long until the first one appears."

"Awe you're right. Hmmm, no clue you kind of threw this at me in a random situation. I'll have to think about it."

"Mmm, maybe taking our time on a name will do good… Say Kael once we build this family can we get an pet. Ya know to make our family complete. I say a dog."

"We can get anything you put your mind to. I'll give you the world if it makes you happy. We just have to find a good place to settle down."Standing up while still locking hands with Seirin, Kael coats a smile on his face. "Anywhere we go will be special as long as we have each other." With those words left in Seirin mind, she's left to witness Kael get his head blown off by a firearm from behind. With his lifeless body falling onto Seirin lap, Seirin becomes mentally unstable to process what just happened before her eyes. In pure shock unable to move her body after witnessing her lover die before her eyes, Seirin is forced to face his killer before her. Pointing the shotgun at Seirin's head the mystery man gently begins pulling the trigger slowly.

"You've had fun with the old lady's gift for too long. Although your love is plenty strong, you're one of few to be affected by her curses in pursuit of living a better life. I honesty hold pity to your situation, it was rather touching. Both of you had your future planned out quite well. And you even went through all the trouble of your family to achieve said dream. Please forgive me for taking to long to arrive to the scene. If I had done my job right, none of this would have gone this far. Like many others who fall guilty of the hags, actions I'll be the one to free you of her tricks." Pulling the trigger the mystery man kills Seirin and Kael for good. To no surprise to the man the two bodies begin turning into dust, vanishing from the scene as the old lady's horrifying laugh follows their disappearance. Moments after this the man's phone begin ringing. In a slow manner the man picks up the phone to be greeted by a women.

"Jack can you hear me?"Said the lady.

"Yes. Is another case active?" Said Jack.

"Yup. I'll pin the location on your phone, make haste."

"Affirmative… Say Nolle, does this job get easier to handle?"

"No, listen I know you're still new to this job but let me refresh you on your goal. The old women will forever give people what they want. Although it seems to be seemingly making people lives better. Her actions are actually making the economy worse. Your orders by the Executive Order Organization is to kill everyone affected by her curse. Do so with no emotions attached. Those two could have lived a peaceful life if the mafia their families was built around got along. But even still if they left their situation fleeing from their families, you would arrive at the doorsteps of their new home and kill them because it's your mission to do so. You're a victim of her actions remember, you strive off revenge for what she done. Don't have second thoughts on the matter and begin heading towards your next location."

"Yes ma'am…" Hanging up the phone jack turns around and begin walking out the alley to his next mission.
