BLAIR I tried desperately not to overthink Mikael's words but I failed miserably. What on Earth did he mean by 'You saw something too, didn't you?'.Did it mean that he had seen what I'd seen at that moment? If that was the case, I was very worried. It meant that Mikael was slowly regaining his past memories and soon, he was going to find out the truth. The question was, what do we do then? How would he react? When I returned from work later that day, Mikael and I ate dinner together. None of us had the courage to talk about what had happened at the office and I was prepared to leave it at that, until Mikael decided to start up a conversation I was in no way, prepared for. "Blair" he began and my head jerked up. It was the first time he was speaking to me informally. It was also the first time he wasn't calling me a different name. "Yes?" I responded and looked up from my food, tensing up when I met his electric gaze. Tonight, he didn't look angry or blank as always. He
MIKAEL Blair seemed to be avoiding me all day because, when I awoke from my slumber, I couldn't find her anywhere. I was feeling much better, but I was curious about the little story she'd told me earlier. I had a strange feeling about it and I couldn't help but be curious about it. I had a feeling that there was something she didn't want me to know. I had a feeling that she knew the answers and I was determined to know the truth by all means. When I got to her room, I knocked on the door. After a moment, the door creaked open. I walked in, my gaze meeting Blair's sad gaze. She had packed her bag already and she looked like she was about to leave.I shouldn't stop her, right?But, I just couldn't let her leave just like that. I really wanted her to stay, but I didn't know why."You're leaving?" I asked and she nodded, avoiding my eyes. "Did I do something wrong?" I asked and she shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears."Blair, what's wrong? Whatever it is.... I'm sure
MIKAEL The horror that filled Blair's hazel eyes didn't go unnoticed by me when I asked her who Altan was. I was desperate for answers, but the look on her face made me feel guilty. She looked so scared and heartbroken. Still, it didn't make any sense. Earlier, while I had fallen asleep in my study, I had dreamt another strange dream. Like always, I'd dreamt about my look-alike. This time, his name had been Altan. I didn't understand why there was this sudden aggressive desperation to know the truth. I was struggling to keep calm, but I also knew I was failing miserably."Won't you give me an answer?" I asked, my gaze unwavering. She swallowed hard, refusing to make direct eye contact with me. "W-what? I don't know what you're talking about" she responded. "I don't think so" I countered. She stiffened."I told you... I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know who Altan is. I haven't heard the name before" There was something about the way she was desperately trying to
I wonder if your milky white skin still feels the same.I wonder if your soft pink lips still taste like strawberries. I miss you and it's getting hard to stay away from you. ---------------------------------------BLAIR. " Altan" I breathed, my eyes filling up with hot tears. As I gazed into the depth of his indigo eyes, my heart ached in my chest. Shakily, I brought my hand to the side of his face. "How-" I breathed, a frown creasing my brows. It felt strange that he had suddenly changed from being Mikael to the Altan I'd first fallen in love with. It wasn't supposed to happen so quickly. We were supposed to gradually fall in love with each other. If everything had been brought to a faster pace, it meant we barely had any time. In order to confirm this, I rolled up the sleeve of my T-shirt, grief welling up inside of me when I saw that the rose had bloomed on my skin. It had not turned blue yet. But, I couldn't help but worry. "Al
You don't always have to be strong all by yourself.Let me be your anchor.---------------------------------------BLAIR I had been watching Mikael for the past few days. He seemed a little lost, what with his life transforming overnight. He had hidden the change in the color of his eyes by putting on contacts. But, there was no way he could explain how the scar on his face had miraculously vanished, leaving behind no sign that it had once been there. All the same, he was more of a mix of the Altan I'd first known and the 21st century Mikael Kane. He seemed to be unable to take his eyes off me and he would smile at me each time our gazes locked. The rest of the employees found it odd, but they didn't have the courage to point it out. Mikael would steal kisses from me, making my heart flutter even when I tried not to let it. Two days ago, he asked me out on a date and I agreed to go out with him. We ate together in an expensive, new restaurant and we talked about random things. N
BLAIR Shocked couldn't completely define the look on Mikael's face when I told him that he had summoned me himself. He couldn't remember it yet, but he used to be able to control the weather, way back when he still used to be Altan in the underworld. So, summoning me shouldn't be much of a surprise. "I summoned you? That's not possible" I smiled, entwining my fingers with his. "Mikael you used to have the ability to control the weather in the underworld. Why can't you believe that you actually summoned me?" I said and he silently stared at me for a moment. "It's because I don't remember ever having the ability to summon people. I had the ability to control the weather and create mental or physical shields. But, that's it"I frowned, reaching up to cup his face. "Look at me, Mikael. There's no cause for alarm. Your powers are simply growing" I told him and his brows creased up. "Simply growing? Why now? Why didn't these additional powers show up before now? What if I lose
There'll be oceans for us to tread, There'll be bridges for us to mend,But I'll stick to it,I swear.---------------------------------------BLAIR Mikael and I stared at each other, the tension in the air crackling. His question had caught me utterly unawares. I couldn't fathom how he'd discovered that killing myself had become the only way to escape the misery I felt, each time I lost the love of my life.Upset, he slammed his palm against the wall."Damnit, Athena! That wasn't supposed to become a part of you!" He exclaimed and I lowered my gaze."I couldn't bear it" I said, my gaze fixed on the ground."I couldn't bear the pain of losing you. I just couldn't do it, Altan" I croaked. I felt him approach me and lift my chin, tilting my head backwards a little. Our gazes met and I saw the mind numbing pain in his eyes."Altan-""Sh!" He whispered, brushing my hair out of my eyes. "If losing me caused you so much pain, I suggest you stayed away from me, because you might lose
The Underworld,Seven Centuries Ago, "Are you sure you know where we going? It feels like we're heading towards Poseidon's territory" Altan said to Athena who was all smiles."We just have to be quiet. What's the worst thing that can happen?" She chirped. "Oh, I don't know? We can actually get caught"Athena held a hand to her mouth to stifle a chuckle. "Come on, Altan. You're always telling me to loosen up. Why are you so uptight about this?" She said and he sighed. "I'm just being careful. I don't care if I get caught, but I'm worried that you might get caught""Awwn. Why are you so cute?" Athena cooed and he playfully rolled his eyes. "Come on, just a little more" she added and he sighed. "I can't believe we're doing this" She shrugged. "We need to find it together. It will certainly make our love and bond stronger" she said and he snorted. He knew she was a sucker for things like that. "Whatever you say, miss" "Altan! Get over here! I've found it!" She whispered
