I looked up to see Lucas and Christopher behind Luther. My heart dropped instantly. I could deal with Luther alone but I could already feel the little calm I had leave me.
"I was worried about you baby." Luther said as he grabbed me for a hug and kiss. I would've said I'm fine if he would've came alone. His touch helped alittle but with Christopher so close my power was slowly rising.
"I kind of want to be alone right now." I said while stepping back. Luther ignored my comment and walked around looking at everything. There were drawing on all the walls. Always of a prince and a princess ruling over everyone. Christopher and I came her throughout our childhood and teens but Once we became adults we stopped coming.
I couldn't help it. I looked over at Christopher. He looked like my best friend but I knew better they were nothing alike. I didn't even realize I was crying until I tasted my tears. Without thinking I used magic to get rid of them. I felt the surge before I realized my mistake.
Power was radiating off of me. I looked at Christopher without thinking. He was running his fingers over our drawings. We talked about marriage all our early childhood and I was naive enough to believe that it was anything but pretend.
Being so caught up in my mind I didn't realize Christopher was looking at the heart that had both of our names on it vowing to be together forever. I use to believe that heart. I thought he was just exploring before he married me but turns out he was just playingl pretend well.
As he started to outline the heart I couldn't help myself. I teleported to him and Stopped his hand from outlining it. He looked down at me. "You liked someone who had my name?" He asked me. This was a bad mistake.
I was stuck in his gaze. His eyes sparkled and he was everything I ever wanted but not really because he wasn't my friend anymore. He reached out and wiped a few tears away. "Was he an old lover?" Christopher asked while reaching around and touching the heart we both drew together.
Without thinking i actually replied. I would blame it on my emotions but I just wanted to tell him what he did to me without him knowing it was him maybe it would help my soul. "No it was a one sided love. He broke my heart." Talking to him seemed easier because the initial shock was gone.
"I don't think you can blame someone for your broken heart." He said without knowing that he was breaking me more. "I can when he gave me hope and took it away randomly." I said turning around and making the pictures on the wall play like they use to but changing it to our actual story.
I backed up and started tracing the pictures. "You know it would've been different if a bond would've never been formed when we were kids." I said absentmindedly. Gold was coming off my fingers as I traced our childish drawing that were now dancing. Talking was helping calm me down alittle.
"Maybe it just wasn't a romantic bond for him. I mean looking at these drawings he obviously cared." Christopher said as he went by one of the drawings and touched it. I watched as memories started to swirl around in my mind. The gold was more vibrant and I felt at peace. My soul was accepting the inevitable.
"If only it was enough to stop the destruction in my mind." I said as I twirled and let my magic color the walls with my power. "Sometimes you need to find a way to stop the destruction yourself. I mean your husband's right there." Christopher said causing me to look at Luther who was whispering in Lucas's ear.
"I did stop it by killing him and accepting that Luther was my fate." I said knowing I was probably saying to much but talking to him was helping. I didn't feel lost. "You killed him?" He asked surprised.
"Yes. He no longer exists. He's just a figment of my imagination." I said as I started to dance. Magic was flowing with every twist and turn. As I did a twirl, my hand was grabbed and I was pulled into a hard chest.. I looked up to a soft smile on Christopher's face. My heart melted.
"Don't you think it's alittle extreme to kill the man you love?" Christopher asked as he spun me around. The gold was flowing more freely. "Not when he rejected me and caused me to become emotionally instable. It was the only way to try to break the bond but as you can see even with him gone I'm still a mess." I said as I laid my head on his chest.
"You killed him to break a bond?" He asked a hint of something in his tone. "That and he knew all my secrets. I use to tell him stuff hoping he would leave his girlfriend because of how special I am but he worked with someone and it was to dangerous to keep him alive." I said.
"So you killed the man you love. That's harsh." Christopher said with a hint of judgement in his voice. If only he knew the man I loved was standing right in front of me.
"If it's any consolation prize I'm the one suffering. Once he rejected me my stability broke and now my power is consuming me. I thought killing him would break the bond but it seems like." I paused what I was saying because it seemed like as long as he was alive my soul would be suffering and I couldn't admit it. I was so relaxed around Christopher that It was like my mouth had a mind of its own.
I had to stop talking. I knew I said too much but atleast it helped. I felt my power subside just a little bit. For a bit we just danced to our own melody. I felt free. Normal again and even if this would be the only time I ever felt like this, I was greatful.
With my eyes closed I just let myself pretend that the past never happened. We were kids again and happiness was a sure thing. "If it's any consolation prize I would've never rejected you." Christopher said causing me to freeze.
