A Portrait of a Witch

Chapter 20

For More Than Year's to Come. I've watched the people I helped died in vain, I Wished no One would pick me up. The pain I suffered for 500 years was too large for a person, The more people I get attached the more they left me, yet the world continues while I was forgotten and left alone as I live a life for eternity in seclusion. their company their trust that I believed was true, yet due to me that it was ruined. while it all changed when I met him.

-I'm just a mere soul trapped in a bracelet. I have no means to reject who chose me. yet why,

As His eyes piqued who I am, as curiosity filled his mind as his choice and on what he should buy landed on me, A bracelet he thought was by no means just a normal bracelet, I thought to myself.

-Could I trust my Hope to this Man? In Those many bracelets to choose from why did this young boy show interest in me? why did he choose me?

Many of those who were greedy yet wished for more banished. yet why? Did this world forget how My Form Looked like? as he Slowly Tied the bracelet around his wrist. I was more than I was shocked than surprised.

His Soul was no mere a size of an ember yet. its brilliant flames of unwavering will made him who he is, As Doubts Filled my mind, Curiosity still emerged in me.

-It Would not be bad if I peek what is inside of him?

As I tried to make a choice, would this person be worth more than the people that I've met in the past? or it would be just the same? as I placed my hand on my temples as I Thoroughly think through the problem.

-D-Dammit why am I doing this for a person I just met!!!

as I bit my Fingers Nails in hesitation as I tried to make a choice. yet my gaze landed on his face. he was by no means a man who would make women alike love him. his sharp lustrous purple eyes that scream's such life that shined more brightly than others. his bright and silky auburn hair, while his kissable lips and milky white skin that woman would wish and envy.

-By no means, this man fits my type

As one of my Brows raised in interest and a grin formed at my face it was an exaggeration this man right in front of me would be a contractor? He was kind to the child that he walks beside. yet he was a person you would want to be with. Yet. why every time I gaze at his eyes the pain and loneliness still corrodes his heart? Why Do I feel empathy for this young man?

She gazed at his face a smile yet so pure and charming that made her heart skip a beat. as she placed her hands on her chest as the soft melody of heart beats faster and faster as her eyes gazed at his face.

-Go-Goodness G-Gracious!! Did I Fall for this Man???!!

It was no means as an Exaggeration that Celine herself was falling for a young man. yet, She Can Only Cover her flustered face with both of her hands as she tried to hide her own embarrassment. she knew she was alone yet she can't just shake off being flustered, As she tried to throw away her feelings she knew that very well what this emotion was, yet. She can only place both of her hands on her cheeks as if she feels like this was not something that she felt for a very long time, yet. she can only look at the young man. while her mind and soul knew, that she was feeling of falling in love again.

-thump

<his Lips>

-thump

<his Smile>

-thump

<Why am I feeling this way?> She mumbled to herself. as she can only look at him and no one else

As her heartbeat slowly, Her gazed landed upon what he was looking ahead. Every time the little child expresses her pain the young man still has the time to smile. Even a problem arises he still has the strength to give a child of a stranger a chance to find her mother.

'Would this man treat me like this? if I was lost?' As Celine thought of it as an exaggeration yet her mind was still occupied by the person that is in front of her. as a small flustered smile appeared on her face. she took a small glance at the young man who was walking with composure and pride as he holds the young girl's arm delicately.

At those passing moments, Celine's heart began to skip a beat. as if her heartaches every time this man shows such confidence.

<I would gladly follow this man in the Darkest alley if he wants to...> Celine muttered in one breath. as few Seconds of silence passed by. Celine's face was flushed red as if embarrassment filled her face while she covered her mouth and began to squeal while she Rolled on the Floor trying to Hide her face to such a degree that you might think of her as if she was a person who deemed crazy. after the horrendous display of Embarrassment was over. A smile slowly crept on her face. by no means it was not a smile a normal person would wear but a person who would anyone deemed of being a stalker.

'Sh-Should I h-help hi-him??' Questions flooded through Celine's mind, Questioning herself if she was doing something right. Celine took a Deep breath as she tried to regain her composure.

'As a Witch, I should not let my Desire get the best of Me' Celine tried her best in carving it on her mind, As a witch Emotions are by no means a poison to them, yet love is the most dangerous thing a witch could feel. due to the reason if a witch fell in love with a person undeniable bad luck and misfortune will come not by only means of life by also the decree of this nation that all witches have treated heretics due to her own doing. but she knew best. that fate never left her side that she would find a person that would gladly help her in achieving her goal while also giving her the chance to break the curse she rained upon this land. She knew this was her final ditch effort she is willing more than ever to solve her sins and bring what is right.
