Maiden My Beloved - A Genshin Impact Fanfiction

Chapter 6 - Seperared

"I'm... just asking... for a kiss..., give me... one good novel kiss... and I'll be... alright..."

------------------------------------------------------------

His heart skipped a beat.
She asked for a kiss.
"You... don't have to... do it..", Noelles voice was almost inaudible.
She was smiling softly, tears rolling down her cheek.
Her smile quickly changed into a frown. She got up, barely able to standing straight.
"I'll go now", her voice was broken.
Both felt the pain in their chest grow.
Guilt.
Rejection.
Guilt overcame Thoma, he knew that one kiss would have left him without the pain.
Noelle on the other hand felt the guilt of asking. Asking for attention and getting rejected. Rejected from someone she felt felt like would understand, would change and yet getting rejected by that someone too. She asked for too much, she ruined it, she thought. Her shaking legs barely holding her up, carried her to her room which she locked behind her. She wouldn't open it for anyone anymore. There was only pain behind it.
Thoma stood in his room stareing at the open door, thinking about the woman who just left it. He thought about the words everyone said, the actions they took after seeing the defenceless woman. Everything was filled with hatred, disappointment and despise.
He closed his eyes, tears forming slowly. He saw Noelle with her claymore infront of him, her looking over her shoulder and repeating the phrase "Don't save me". He fell to the floor breaking out in tears. It felt like needles pierced through his heart, the thoughts about the future of the maid rushed by collided with eachother, merging into newer ones before dissapearing into the void of forgetting. The only thoughts he had before passing out was that change was needed.
------------------------------------------------------------
His head hurt,  he felt weak, unable to move. He couldn't remember anything. He opened his eyes slowly.
"Thoma! Are you alright", the travlers voice called.
"Huh? Why shouldn't I be?"
"Jean found you unconsious on the floor of your room, she said you didn't look good"
"What happened?"
"We think Noelle was jealous of you"
"Why should she do that?"
"I have no idea but she was missing when Jean found you so we assumed she did it"
"I- I don't understand"
"Me neither but you need to stay here until you are better Thoma", the travler said calmly "Barbara will be here soon"
As soon as they finished their sentence they got up and left.
------------------------------------------------------------
Pain rushed through her body but she had to keep going, if she'd stop she'd die or arrested for something she couldn't control. She looked at her hand as she walked, blood dripping from it.
"I need.. to continue....", she whispered "I can... do... this..."
Her body was shaking from exhaustion.
She stopped.
A noise.
She slowly drew her claymore, forcing her power of her vision to create a shield.
She slowly turned around.
Nothing..
She turned back.
Her mind was playing tricks on her.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Steps.
Weird ratteling noises.
Followed by a weird feeling in her.
It felt real but she told herself she was hallucinating.
She slowly fell asleep thinking it would help.
Unbeknownst to her she wasn't imagining.
