THRONE:Bloody Strings Of Love.

Amorist

[A week later]

Calista was in her garden sipping on  chamomile tea as she stared blankly, nowhere to be exact.She was thinking about someone deeply.

Something was wrong.

Something felt off with her lover.

He wasn't his usual self around her.Though in others eyes he may act obviously normal but in her eyes he was not.Her intuition were never wrong, but this time she wished they were wrong

She was feeling uneasy.The way he looked at her.The way he smiled at her.The way he called her name.

And the way his eyes stared—no.

"No..No.." she whispered

Calista looked at two birds sitting on a tree branch

"Haha!No..it's not like that." She kept whispering to herself.The two birds on the tree branch were chirping before one of it flew away.

"It's crazy!"  Calista swinged her hand as the teacup fell on the ground,tea spilled on the table and ground,the teacup broken into pieces,hot tea splashed on her hand, burning her skin.

"Ouch!" The burning pain made her come back to her senses as she rigorously started to shook her hand.

Tears escaped her gem blue eyes and soft whimpers were heard.Just what was she thinking that made her do such actions?

'I must have lost it..fussing over such things.. surely he wouldn't do that.He loves me, I know that.'

She tried to console herself but the thought of him having taken a liking over some other girl bothered her.So much.

Just then footsteps were heard,they were slow but soon got louder as if the person approaching was running.Running towards her.

"Calista! What happened!?" Alex asked as Calista looked upon him.He was looking at her with worry in his eyes.How could those eyes possibly lie? "Axel..sobs."

She'd only mutter his name as tears made their way out of her eyes.Axel was baffled by her sudden bursting of emotions.Still he tried to comfort her.His one hand patted her head lightly and his other hand pulled her closer to him.

sob..

sob..

It was nearly impossible to stop the tears now.And she knew that.Seeing him just made her mixed up emotions even messed up.Axel kept patting her head lightly but when his eyes fell on her burnt hand he quickly broke the hug and took a closer look at her injury.

Turning to a servant behind him he ordered. "Hurry up and fetch a doctor and have someone to bring a wet towel!" The servant quickly nodded and hurried away to fulfill the commands.

"..." Axel glanced at the broken cup and the spilled tea then at the latter's injury.Thinking about something he shook his head. 'Assassination attempt? Impossible.' He laughed in his mind at such silly thought.

Soon the servant came back with a towel and water.Axel took the towel and dipped it in water before slightly dabbing the wet towel on her burnt skin which was now red and swollen.

dab..dab..

Calista gulped down the whimpers.Axel didn't looked at her at all, unable for her to see the expression on his face. 'You would never..'

"You would never.." Not realising that she'd spoken her thoughts out loud, Axel looked at her raising an eyebrow. "Does it hurt? Please bear with it for awhile.We can't leave the injury unattended or else it'd become worse." Words made their way softly out of his mouth. Calista nodded and waited patiently while surpassing the whimpers of pain
