A Thousand Years 》

chapter 18

"Who..who told you about her?" Jennie asked, her smile long gone

"Exactly, nobody is telling me about her" I replied with a pout, I was genuinely curious

I noticed how she shut her eyes cloth and let out a stressful breath before speaking again, through gritted teeth

"I meant, who mentioned her to you?"

"Ah, I just kind of heard Anthony and Arthit fight and Anthony mentioned about a girl, so I asked Arthit who she was, and he told me her name" I explained, had I offended her in some way?

"You met Anthony?" She practically yelled out

There was panic in her voice and I had no idea what it was about, was it thar big of a deal? Or was it just the hatred between those two that made her hate him too?

"I..I met him on the way, he volunteered to help me find arthit, but things didn't go very smoothly once we found him" I replied, not wanting to leave out anything

She ran a hand through her hair and laughed out in frustration, she was scaring me, literally

"How did he not mention this to me?" She breathed out

"I..Is it that big of a deal?" I mumbled through a tiny pout

She glanced back at me, and suddenly tried to calm herself down, she must have sensed that I was scared of her behavior

"It's a thing of a long time ago, a few decades ago" she replied softly

"So can you not tell me who she was?" I asked, throwing my hopeful gaze at her

She sighed, caressing her face and tapping her feet, in worry

"She..she was a human, just like you who had lost her way and found him, Anthony" Jennie replied, not meeting me in the eyes

"So they loved each other?" I asked, I fought back the smile that was spreading on my face

Jennie parted her lips, to possibly reply to my question when the door pushed open and a tired, rather bloody arthit walked in

"Kong?" Arthit softly called

I turned around at once, smiling at him and only if he wasn't covered in blood, I would have run over and hugged him, might have kissed him as well

I heard him chuckle as he walked in, he probably heard my thoughts again, I need to learn to have some control over them

"I feel bad for having blood now, stop thinking that" He chuckled

Jennie stood rooted to her spot, hands folded against her chest as she stared at arthit, who was too busy staring at me to notice

"Kong, do you mind going home now? I have a few things to discuss with Arthit" Jennie stated

And now arthit turned to face her, the smile on his lips faded and his face stiffened

"Can I not stay for a little while, please?" I requested, I didn't want to go just yet

"Please, kong" Jennie argued, now staring at me

At this very point, she scared me and so I decided to compile and simply nodded at her order like request

I stood on my tippy toes and found a blood free area on arthit's cheek, placing a soft kiss at the said place I bid my goodbyes

Arthit momentarily smiled back at me, making it harder for me to leave before he turned his attention back to her

I walked out, into the open air again, I knew what their discussion was all going to be about, it would Jennie complaining how arthit didn't tell her about the Anthony guy

I sighed, I had a character sketch of the Rose girl now, she was a human like me and had lost her way and found Anthony, she must have fallen for him too, he is rather handsome honestly

I approached my house with a mind full of thoughts and a lost focus until someone pulled me back, and I nearly screamed my lungs out

"It's me" I heard Anthony whisper

"What are you doing here?" I groaned, freeing myself from him

"You didn't think I was bluffing when I said I would take you away, did you?" He asked chuckling right after

"You are telling me that you are going to kidnap me?" I asked back, raising an eyebrow at him

"Oh no honey, you will, voluntarily walk out of his life with me" He replied, staring right into my eyes

And for some reason I couldn't move me eyes off his, it had happened before, the first time we met, he had done the same thing

And suddenly I didn't feel that he was dangerous or of any harm, I found myself trusting him, my body and my mind trusted him, unusually

"You know that I'm not evil, don't you?" He asked, his voice, it was addicting

I wordlessly nodded to his question, he wasn't evil, he was of no harm, my mind was forcing me to believe it

"Good for you, darling" He replied, winking at me before dissapearing into thin air, just like he had arrived

I let out a breath I never knew I was holding, he had this aura around him, this charm, that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't avoid

"He, is addicting" I whispered

I purple you 💜
