"Where! Tell me now!" I shouted, gripping his shoulder harder. "Answer me." I didn't know why I was feeling so desperate to help him. After all, what power did I have?
"Your necklace." He answered, staring at the glowing stone lying on my neck. It was quiet an unusual one. I wasn't sure what stone it was made of but I remember when father gave it to me, he said it was one of a kind.
"I don't understand. " I shook my head in Confusion.
"I was cursed a long time back and trapped within the confines of your necklace. It was said that the one whom is destined to be mine would be the one to redeem me." He explained, pain and another emotion I couldn't explain shooting from his eyes.
"That is why I am able to communicate to you in this form. I'm dying because my time is almost up and so I won't have enough strength to roam this realm anymore. Tezznin, I used up all of my last powers to to reveal myself to you and all those nights and even now. That's why I kept disappearing without warning, because my power came with limit. Hah. Save me Tezz. Free me." His voice now came out low and pained.
"But..but how is that even possible and how do I even free you?" I question with a huge crease on my forehead.
"If I'm truly fated for you, then you would surely find a way. You surely will." He said. I noticed his skin turning from pale to transparent. His body was slowly disappearing into the night.
"No, no,no. I don't understand. How!" I tried to grip his arm but my hand went through them leaving me startled and perplexed. Huh! He was indeed disappearing and that meant for good. What if I couldn't free him? 😰😰
"I have always loved you Tezz. I've watched you a million times from the necklace and your voice, when you sing is so graceful. I've done so many wrongs my whole life but the one thing I wouldn't change is doing what I did. It was because of that, that led me to you Tezz. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I wouldn't change any of that." He whispered as a tear rolled down his left eye.
"I only have one wish." He added.
" what's that?" I whispered as tears rolled down my eyes as well.
"Sing a song into the night for me everyday." He said, smiling painfully at me. I nodded as more tears rolled down. No one said it would hurt this much to finally get rid of him. It made no sense. When did I develop this much concern for him? This couldn't be the end, could it?
"What is your name?"
Silence reigned for the longest time, all the while as we stared deep into each other's eyes.
"Eliot." He whispered as he disappeared completely into the night. Just like that, he was gone. My heart left in a turmoil and not quiet sure what to do now with my broken heart 💔💔.
