The Genie's Curse

Chapter 45

"Let's go." He grabbed Tsuru by the arm wanting to drag her back.

But she couldn't break her gaze from him, "I'm not confused anymore, I know what he did. He lied to me, he used me... and then left me. You said we'd take revenge and make him pay."

Allon pulled at her arm persistently, "Last time you chickened out Tsuru, it is not the place for this either. You can't even get away with killing him. People are everywhere."

"Let's just talk, a little chat." She said.

He looked at her sternly, "No."

Pulling her arm away she began walking towards Keir even while Allon tried pulling her back she'd slip from his grasp, "Let go. I want to face him. I want to ask just why he did all this!"

Allon forcefully pulled her towards him, turning her away from Keir's way, "No, not now!"

Tsuru glared and slammed her fist onto his chest, "Don't do this to me. It's just a talk, I swear."

A hand pressed up against her shoulder, "I never thought I'd see you around here Tsuru. Now I'm sure it's you, no getting away this time."

She turned around and Keir himself stood behind her. A few men surrounded him in suits while he smirked down at her.

"You damn piece of shit." He smirked even wider at her insult.

Leaning down he pulled her along with him, "Let's have a chat, I know you're Looking forward to it."

Allon was dragged as well by the men he had with him. Getting into a car he while sending Allon in a different one.

"So you wanna talk. What subject are you interested in? Because personally I'm dying to know where you've been the last hundred years or so. I knew you seemed familiar back in the Philippines but I just wasn't sure. Now... oh this is going to be good." Sitting across from her he crossed his legs.

If it was possible she would have already glared holes into his head, "Where have you been? Hm, after you left me... I broke my own rules for you!" She clutched onto the bag, the reminder of the dagger inside.

"And that's on you. Sure I'm very much thankful, but I had big plans. And look at me now, more money then I could ever need, a youth that never ends and the world at my disposal." He pointed outside, "Look around you, the world changes and I'll always be at the top. The only immortal still around."

"Still around??" She slowly slid her hand into the bag to pull the weapon out.

He looked at her from the corner of his eyes, "Well, let's say the others have just become mortals again... enough about me, where have you been? You know I've kept tabs of you over the centuries. Know where you go and who you're with. Yet three hundred or so years ago I lost sight of you."

She took out the dagger and attempted to stupidly swipe towards him. He swiftly took it off her hands without a problem, "Give me your phone while you're at it." He said nearly as a joke

With a huff she took it out and he grabbed it. Placing it besides him and smiling like nothing had happened, "Oh come on, I just asked you a question. Answer me Tsuru."

"I was left in a ditch for three hundred years, happy?" The venom in her voice annoyed him.

"And what, Allon got you out? The sweet little boy found you, or was it someone else?" He leaned towards her, "Because I highly doubt he'd gotten you out, given the background you have together."

"Why did you leave me?"

He moved back away from her, "Because I didn't need you. I didn't love you the way you loved me, and you wanted to believe in a fantasy that would never come true." Pointing at her he continued, "I got what I wanted and I had no need to keep dragging you with me."

Tsuru kicked his leg, "Then why couldn't you have told me the truth from the start?! I went crazy because of you, you piece of crap!"

"Because you wouldn't have done it if I'd told you I didn't love you. Who in their right mind would? You went insane all on your own crazy obsession." Moving away from her he asked the driver to stop, "Don't get me wrong I care about you, just not the way you wanted me to."
