"Nope. You're not going to get that information until tomorrow morning. For starters, I don't plan on explaining everything to you tonight. I want you to enjoy your visit with me first." He said."But?""No buts." Roman cut her off. "If you truly want my explanation, then we shall wait until tomorrow morning."Celine sighed in annoyance."Fine. As long as you give me a good reason as to why we shouldn't start making love right now."Roman laughed lightly."Goodnight Celine." He whispered softly.Celine bit her bottom lip as she watched him turn away and leave her there in the middle of the path in the garden."Goodnight Roman." She whispered.Celine awoke the following morning to the sound of birds chirping outside of the window. She stretched slowly and yawned loudly. Then she glanced at the clock in her bedroom to see how long she had slept. It read 6:30am. She rubbed her eyes tiredly and sat up in bed. The memories of last night started flooding back into her mind. She remembered
"Hi." She responded with a small nod, her voice shaky."Are you hungry Celine? We still have some food leftover. Would you like to eat with us?" Asked Estelle kindly.Celine looked down at the ground. She wanted to say yes, but the truth was that her stomach was hurting so badly that she probably couldn't stomach anything."No thank you Mrs Estelle." She mumbled softly. "I think I'd better go home now." She added."It's ok Celine." Said the blonde gently.Celine forced a smile as a tear trickled down her cheek."Have a safe journey home." She said softly as she walked away.Celine walked out of Estelle Gardens slowly, trying to prevent the tears from falling from her eyes. When she finally reached her home, she went straight to her room and locked herself inside. She didn't bother changing or brushing her hair. Instead, she pulled her knees close to her chest and hugged them tightly, burying her face between them as tears streamed freely from her eyes. She didn't care if she would
"I'm saying that you shouldn't blame yourself for loving someone." He repeated. "Because if you do, you will eventually regret not having a chance with them. Love makes people do crazy things. And if you let your emotions control you, you will lose the most precious thing in your life." Roman leaned forward slightly, closing the gap between them. His warm lips gently grazed against hers. Celine couldn't help but gulp nervously. He tilted his head slightly and moved his face closer to hers, causing the two of them to inhale deeply. A tingling sensation coursed through her entire body as she closed her eyes shut and held her breath. However, just before their lips connected, she felt herself tense up suddenly and pushed Roman away harshly. Her eyes shot open as she stared at him in disbelief."What the hell are you doing?!" She shouted angrily."What? I thought?" Roman stammered, his face filled with shock."That I liked you?! How could you think that? Who do you take me for! I don'
She turned her attention back to the garden, ignoring the fact that Roman was still seated beside her. However, after a few minutes of silence, she felt him move behind her and press his body against hers. She sighed silently in frustration. She knew that he wasn't going to leave her alone until she acknowledged what he had done.Without turning around, Celine spoke."Roman. What did I say yesterday about touching me?" She stated in annoyance."I don't understand." He mumbled."Why won't you just leave me alone? You've been acting weird ever since I got home from school. Do you know how exhausting it is to be constantly bombarded with questions? Do you know how much trouble I am having? Please Roman, just leave me alone." She groaned.She didn't bother to turn around and looked up at him. To her surprise, she saw that he was crying. Tears rolled off of his cheeks as he sniffled."Roman?" She called out in concern. "Are you alright? Did I say something wrong?" She questioned, placing
She began rambling as she talked. She figured that if she kept asking questions, Roman would forget to continue what he wanted to ask. But to her surprise, he didn't interrupt her. In fact, he listened carefully to everything she said. He smiled softly at her when she mentioned the 'lost' part of her life and told her that he had come here with his father when he was young. Then he began telling her about all of the places they had visited, all the different sights that they had seen, and all the things he had learned during his years traveling. And before she knew it, it was already dark outside and she had spent most of the day talking to him.She had enjoyed their conversation and felt herself smiling when he said something funny. Even though she knew that she should probably go back to her room, she didn't want to leave his side just yet. For some unknown reason, she felt content with staying right where she was.As usual, Celine was woken up by the sound of a door slamming sh
She got up off the couch and walked over to the window, where she gazed out at the moon and stars which seemed to shine brighter than ever before."It's beautiful isn't it? Do you recognize it?" Roman asked from across the room.Celine turned around and smiled as she stared back at him. If she was honest, she didn't actually know much about the moon and the stars. She didn't have much interest in astronomy, especially since they never really interested her that much. But if he wanted to talk about it, she would listen and learn."Not really." She admitted reluctantly.His expression softened and he gave her a small smile before turning his attention back towards the fireplace.After a short while, he spoke up again."You're lucky. You get to live in the world where you are now. Most humans can only dream of living such a carefree and normal life. When we die, we get to live in peace with our loved ones and be reunited with our family members in Heaven.""For you, however, you'll like
Roman awoke from his trance, shaking his head as if to shake the awful memory out of his mind. His breathing quickened as panic gripped his heart and he fought to calm down. Despite everything that had just happened, he managed to regain control of his body and breathe normally again.Once his heartbeat had returned to a normal pace and he was convinced that he wasn't going to start hyperventilating again, he turned his gaze upwards. Celine was still lying on the couch, sleeping peacefully.Roman remained quiet for a little while before he carefully climbed off the couch, making sure that he made as little noise as possible. He stood still for several minutes, watching her sleep, unable to tear his eyes away from her. Eventually, he noticed the blanket draped over her body getting slightly ruffled by her movements. He knew it would take a lot of strength for her to even manage to reach for it.He slowly reached his hand forward and gently removed the blanket from her body as not t
The illusionist frowned as he gazed at Roman with an unreadable expression. After several seconds, he let out another sigh and looked Roman in the eye again. "Fine, I'll prove it to you." With these words, he vanished.Roman watched as the illusionist disappeared. Although the man didn't appear, he still felt that he had somehow won his freedom after giving him the chance to prove to him that he was innocent. He couldn't afford to waste any more time thinking about his imprisonment and his future, because every second wasted made him feel more miserable and helpless. He didn't know if it would take him many more days or weeks before they came to realize that he was alive. He knew that the longer he waited, the further away he would be from helping Celine. With this thought in mind, he hurried to find some scissors and some wire. He knew that the best way to cut out his chains was through wire, which he had always loved to play with when he was younger. He also knew that cutting o
