DEAR DIARY: HIS CURSED MATE

This can't be the same man

ADIRA'S POV

My world slowly crumbled right before me, leaving no space for me to rebuild. I couldn't feel my legs on the ground, as I found it very difficult to stand up. Every corner of the house with its yellow porch lights became blurry as my tears shaded my eyeballs.

I slowly stood up; my knees ached. "This can't be the same man I gave up everything for; this wasn't the life I signed up for. I love you, Brayan, and I won't stop. Not even now that everything seemed to be going out of hand. Something tells me that you ain't doing things out of your own will, and I will get to the root of it all." I went into the room and met them in one of their silly positions. They ignored me and acted like I never existed. I picked up my things and went into the dark ambiance.

I struggled to find my way, but I had nowhere to go as it wasn't my pack. My eyes swimming in the pool of my broken tears, I took one step after another with my luggage on my head. As I stepped outside, something whispered to me: "You have nowhere to go; the park is a deadly zone." I sat down at the edge of the house, avoiding any passing eyes from seeing me.

After some minutes, it started raining heavily. I wrapped my diary inside the innermost part of my box and enjoyed the shower of rain as it came to wash away my pains.

When the rain stopped, I couldn't move my hands; my body was vibrating like I was under an electric shock. I managed to cover my body with some of the wet clothes; it even increased the volume of the cold.

Before morning approached, I left Brayan's house and went behind his house to construct a mini-wooden house. Even though the breeze would always blow some parts away before it started raining, I cried all day and night, drowning to write down how I felt in my dear diary, which was my only companion who wouldn't betray me. "Dear diary, yes, he lied to me. He deceived me, making me pull down all the walls I built. I am entrusting my life to him, believing I have found one. The truth is, I still love him. I want to save him; I want to help him out of the spell. I can't believe that Brayan is doing all this with clear eyes. Dear diary, I want to be happy with him again. I have to stay back here and solve things because I think I am the problem. If not, why will everyone who comes my way want to treat me badly and leave? I want to make this work. Dear diary!" I closed my diary and left to watch over Brayan.

As I arrived at the front of his house on that cold evening, his yellowish lights shone so brightly, beautifying the view from outside. I stood in my long gown, making me appear like a night witch.

All of a sudden, I saw some men break into Brayan's house. The next thing I saw was Brayan swiftly shifting into his wolf. He started fighting them, but Kiki ran outside and started running home. "Foolish witch!" I said and ran to the house. As I was about to open the door, one of them pushed the door against me. Causing me to fall and brush my ankle.

I stood up with force like a wounded wolf, my eyes only seeing kids in front of me. With the iron in my hand, I didn't hesitate to strike the first one that came after me. He tumbled on the floor and couldn't stand up again. I matched his head and moved with force to the next person; he kicked me without remorse. I fell on the couch and held my stomach. Thankfully, I wasn't bleeding, but I couldn't stand up again. I watched Brayan fight bravely for his life. He turned and held one of them on the wall, which was the last one standing. Someone stood up from the ground and brought out a dagger. I screamed his name: "Brayan!!!!!!" He refused to turn back and got stabbed from behind. As they stabbed him, the only ones alive started running away.

Brayan immediately shifted back to normal; he was drowning in a pool of blood. He was tattered and bruised all over. I struggled to crawl to where he was and tried to lift his heavy body, but I couldn't. He was slowly losing his breath. I screamed his name but got no answer.

"Brayan, please don't do this to me. Please, don't die in my hands. Remember, we still have many things on the list to achieve." With tears and a runny nose, I crawled to where his medication box was.

The next morning, I felt someone steadily tapping my shoulder. I struggled to open my eyes, tired and feeling a sharp headache. Brayan stood before me like nothing had ever happened to him.

"Get your cursed body out of my bed," he angrily yelled at me. I was confused as I sluggishly started coming down from the bed.

I stood up and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Why are you sounding so angry this morning? Who provoked you?" I asked. I scanned myself from head to toe and kicked my hand off his shoulder.

"Your cursed presence provoked me. What wrong did I ever do to you? I told you to go because I don't want you anymore. Do you have to go to that extent? "Do you?" He protested with a confusing question because I did nothing. He pushed me, and I fell into the bed.

I stood and moved closer to him. "Brayan, I did nothing to you. What's going on?" I gently asked with a calm tone.

He sparked, "You must be insane to think that I am daft. I never wished you death, but you decided to end my life with the rogue wolves you sent to me last night. You made a mess of my home, and here you are pretending to be the sweetest and innocent cursed fool."

His words pierced deep into my soul. I moved closer one more time, with a bold face. "Brayan, I had the chance to slice your truth and feed your body to the birds of earth. Guess what? I didn't do it. Instead, I decided to save you because of the love and everything we shared. Where is the one you chose over me? She left you, and you are here accusing me." Before I could end my words, tears streamed down my face.

Brayan took three steps backward. "Yeah, there she goes, buying pity. You are a heartless, cursed witch whom I regret coming across. And for the record, we shared nothing. Now, I want you to leave my house and my life for good. The next time I see you around me, you will beg for life." Brayan said angrily and pushed me out of his house without listening to my pleas.

I left with tears.
