"Just a normal day," I thought. I got up from bed, took a bath and then brushed my teeth. I was waiting in my room for my breakfast to come while I was playing video games. I always get this thought of why they care for me all of a sudden, it sometimes just gives me a headache. I try to ignore it all the time, but it is always difficult.
Soon while I was playing, the servants came inside with my food.
"You won't be needing us to feed you anymore, right?" The servant, Amarn said jokingly. We laughed.
"Sure, I won't, hopefully," I replied with a chuckle. The awkwardness of Wendy was quite visible from my perspective. Then the thought came back to me. The one I've been trying to avoid ever since I arrived here. While they were exiting, I stopped Wendy by holding her hand. She turned around as if she was just caught stealing gold.
"What is it?" She asked.
"What are they planning to do to me," I asked, not beating about the bush with the matter.
"Torson, it's been a long day already, and I have so many things to worry about so can we please talk about this later?" She replied, trying to avoid eye contact with me.
"Can we please talk about this now?" I asked her again
"Torson..." she replied, seeming as if she was being harassed.
"Please. This thought bothers me every day, I have never been so anxious about something ever. Can you just please help me?"
Wendy held Torson close by holding his arm. "Fine, listen closely. You tried to kill yourself. So, this made the royals worry a lot about you. You can't die. Not yet. You see. To be alive and strong, the royals need you to be near them to stay alive. Now that they have found out that you are going around attempting to kill yourself, they had to keep you in a better place so that you won't drive yourself to even think of doing such madness. Are you thinking of helping them? Think again. All this will be at the expense of your happiness and health. One day when they've used all you can offer, they will expose you just like how they did with your parents. These people are dangerous to Torson. Trust me, I have been there to experience it all." She concluded. She then left without uttering a single word after that.
I then stood there in silence. I was shocked about all the things that Wendy just told me. While I was deep in my thoughts, something kept telling me to go out of my room and look for Avi. Someone was telling me, ... to go out that door and find Avi. And me not knowing this feeling that's taking over my body, I then listened to it. I walked out the door. I went down the hallway. And I was led outside. To the left side I saw the outside of the castle. My way to freedom. I could've easily taken a sprint and escaped. But I didn't. Because to my right side was the park, where this feeling was leading me to. So obviously, I went in that direction. I finally entered the park. This brought back memories of how this all started. It... wasn't a nice feeling. I was searching in the park, certain that I'd find something. And I did. In fact, it was someone. It was Avi. But there was something wrong with her. I watched her sitting there while she looked as if she was severely sick. She then collapsed onto the ground and immediately started to panic.
I ran towards her. I remembered what Wendy told me, how she told me that I needed to be close to her for them to be alive. She clearly looked like she was dying. So, I hugged her. The pain that I was feeling was beyond excruciating. She got back up while we were hugging. While we were holding each other we stared at each other for a while. Then she leaned in and kissed me. My skin was starting to turn red. When she noticed, she quickly pushed me away. She then stared at me with those intimidating eyes of hers and then left.
I then went back into my room. Although I was in pain, the feeling I felt after being with Avi was amazing. It was kind of like I was being suffocated but adequately. The feeling was amazing. I instantly became addicted to her. The feeling that she gave me was exquisite. I would dream of her every day. I thought about her all the time. One day I finally thought that I should see her again. I got ready and wore my most 'impressive' clothes and tried to look very good. I ran down the hall to the park but I never found her there.
Dissatisfied with the fact that the person that I wanted to see wasn't there, I walked to my room again. On my way there I saw her. Avi. She didn't look so happy to see me. You really can't notice how this girl's feeling because she always has this same emotionless, serious face when she sees me.
We stared at each other for a while and then I decided to make a move. I moved closer. The same effect of me being in pain and this amazing feeling started. We stared at each other for a while. She then grabbed me and started kissing me. The feeling I got hit me hard. Like I was being knocked down. She pushed me against the wall and started kissing me very hard. She then put her hands inside my shirt and that felt like fireworks. After a while, I couldn't even feel the pain anymore. I felt the heat. My skin was ruined but I did not care. I then felt something in me. Like something between my bones breaking and getting shot in the chest. I then felt a pain in my chest. I then felt it on my arm. She didn't care about that. A part of me had enough and I tried pushing her away but when I touched her, I got burnt in an instant. Seeing this, she then pressed me harder against the wall. And so, the feeling got more and more intense. She pushed me against the wall so hard while kissing me, she started to pick me up because I was already as far into the wall as can be. I then felt that bullet feeling once more. This time it was more painful. More unpleasant. I then started having hiccups. They were no normal ones. I couldn't breathe when I had one. And with her still kissing me, I was doomed. She then finally let me go. I fell to the ground. I was paralyzed. She then looked at me emotionlessly, breathing heavily. She looked as if she just finished eating a whole meal. and walked away. After a few seconds, I could move again.
I walked up to my room and when I arrived, I saw Wendy. And from the looks of it, she didn't look so happy.
"Torson. What were you doing with her!?" She asked demandingly.
"Nothing..." I responded
"Torson that girl is bad news!"
"No, she's not, I love her!"
"You don't"
"Yes, I do... I have been feeling this feeling towards her for a long time and I think she does too"
"Torson, no. She doesn't love you. You do not love her! This... this isn't love okay!?"
"What makes you say that? Has she told you?"
"Ahhh! You just don't get it, do you? You think this is some sort of love story with a happy ending, don't you? Well, where this is going, I'm pretty sure it will end in a tombstone with your name on
it buddy!" She said as she stormed out of my room
