Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

 

Lydia was so nice to me, But she didn't talk much. "Hmm, but somehow I still miss my family, and I wish I could get to see them." 

 

After a long while, it was already dark we headed straight to my room. 

 

"Bye," she waved at me. 

 

See you later then, I replied hastily 

 

I sighed and opened the door, going into my room. I got into the room and inhaled the sweet fragrance that welcomed me. 

 

Hmmm, it brought a sweet glow to my cheeks. The lights were turned on and I saw him lying on the bed, reading a book. 

 

"Hi," He smiled uncannily as he stood up from the bed. "You look so happy today" Yeah.....I finally, took a tour around the castle with your maid ermmm... "What is her name again? I replied with furrowed brows and tried walking away, but he held me back by the arm. 

 

Whoa! Such charming blue eyes, I thought blinking simultaneously. He stared into my eyes, and as our lips were slowly grazing each other I closed my eyes. 

 

Gosh! This guy is damn so cute!! 

 

"Whoa! Take it easy. A deep voice came halting me as I quickly opened my eyes I saw him staring at me. 

 

He gave me a welcoming smile, and my heart skipped a bit. He seemed a little bit different today his eyes were no longer red but blue. 

 

I gulped, wanting to say something but no words came out of my mouth. 

 

" Uh...... "Oh, sorry I....... I stammered 

 

Come let's go outside he gestured I followed, walking side by side with him made me nervous and I couldn't fathom why. Maybe he's not human. Or maybe....just maybe he's. 

 

"We are here! This is your new room it is close to mine" he announced, with a smirk dancing across his perfectly, curved-shaped lips. I stood outside the room. 

 

"Wow this place is much bigger and better than the former room" Come on in! he whispered to me. 

 

Argh, I still got something to do I will see you later he smiled 

 

★★★★The Next Morning ★★★★ 

 

Something warm rests perfectly on my cheek, I purr in satisfaction and snuggle more into the blanket. 

 

But the buzzing sound of the door didn't let me enjoy my perfect sleep. 

 

I sleepily stretch my body unable to sleep back, but I guess I offended nature unknowingly. I was about to doze off again.....A chuckling sound comes from the door and I snap my glaring sleepy eyes towards the door. 

 

"Hello, miss" Logan stands there waving his hands at me. 

 

"Time to get out of bed, miss sleeping beauty!" He said and walked toward me. I huffed and I ignored him, I laid back down and covered myself with my blanket. I picked an extra pillow on my bed and covered my face. 

 

Despite my attempts to block out Logan's cheerful morning intrusion, he persisted, determined to rouse me from my slumber. 

 

"Come on, don't be so grumpy," he teased, pulling the pillow from my face. I groaned in response, not quite ready to face the day. 

 

As I reluctantly sat up, rubbing my eyes, Logan handed me a cup of steaming coffee. The rich aroma filled the room, a tempting invitation to shake off the remnants of sleep. 

 

"Morning brew to start your day," he grinned, clearly amused by my morning demeanor. 

 

I took the coffee, appreciating the gesture despite my lingering drowsiness. The warmth of the cup seeped into my hands, awakening my senses. 

 

"Thanks," I mumbled, my resistance to morning conversations gradually softening. 

 

Logan sat on the edge of the bed, observing me with a playful twinkle in his eyes. "Ready for another adventure in the castle today?" 

 

I hesitated, unsure of what to expect. The events of the previous night, from the forbidden book to the mysterious ritual, lingered in my thoughts. 

 

"I was thinking of exploring more of the castle's history," Logan suggested. "There's a hidden chamber with artifacts that might shed light on some unanswered questions." 

 

Despite my reservations, curiosity got the better of me. I agreed, and together we ventured into the depths of the castle once again. The hidden chamber unveiled a trove of relics, each carrying a piece of the castle's enigmatic history. 

 

As we delved into the artifacts and faded documents, Logan shared tales of the cursed lineage that had haunted the castle for centuries. The stories intertwined with the tragic past of the family that once resided within its walls. 

 

Throughout our exploration, Logan's demeanor remained open, and I found myself drawn to the sincerity behind his words. The more I learned, the more I sensed a shared vulnerability beneath the surface. 

 

Days turned into nights, and the castle's secrets gradually unfolded. The haunted history transformed into a narrative of redemption and resolution. Logan's once-uncanny smile became a symbol of understanding and connection. 

 

In the heart of the castle, amidst the echoes of the past, a bond was forged between us—one that transcended the supernatural and embraced the resilience of the human spirit. 

 

As we navigated the castle's labyrinthine corridors, the sunset was on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the ancient stones. The journey, filled with twists and turns, had become a testament to the transformative power of facing the unknown and finding solace in unexpected companionship. 

 

As Logan and I continued to uncover the mysteries of the castle, our bond deepened. The haunting tales of the cursed lineage were juxtaposed with moments of shared laughter and camaraderie. The once-enigmatic corridors now echoed with our footsteps, as if the castle itself acknowledged the change within its walls. 

 

One evening, as we explored a forgotten chamber, we stumbled upon a portrait gallery showcasing generations of the castle's inhabitants. Each portrait told a story—of love, loss, and the ceaseless pursuit of breaking free from the shackles of the curse. Logan pointed to a particular portrait, revealing the face of a man whose eyes mirrored a familiar strength and resilience. 

 

"That's my father" he explained. "he fought against the curse with everything he had. His story is a testament to the will to overcome the darkness." 

 

As the days passed, our journey through the castle became a tapestry of shared experiences and revelations. Logan's once mysterious persona unfolded, revealing vulnerabilities and a determination to rewrite the castle's history. 

 

One night, under the moonlit sky, Logan and I stood at the edge of the castle, overlooking the vast landscape below. The haunting whispers that once filled the air had transformed into a gentle breeze, carrying a sense of closure. 

 

"I never expected to find a connection like this," Logan admitted, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. "You brought a light into this castle's shadows, and for that, I am grateful." 

 

I felt a mix of emotions—gratitude, understanding, and a newfound sense of purpose. The castle, once a place of fear, had become a sanctuary for redemption. Our shared journey had not only unraveled the mysteries of the past but had also created an unbreakable bond between us. 

 

As dawn approached, we stood in silent acknowledgment of the transformative power of our shared experiences. The haunted history of the castle had found a resolution, and Logan and I emerged from the shadows, carrying the lessons of the past into an uncertain future. 

 

In the morning light, the castle stood proud, its ancient stones infused with a subtle warmth. Logan's smile, no longer uncanny but genuine, reflected the triumph of breaking free from the curse's grasp. The sun rose on a new chapter, and together we stepped into the dawn of a revitalized castle—a place where redemption and connection triumphed over the shadows of the past.
