Death Thread

Chapter 39

“We need to head back now, or else you will be late.” Right, the classes, I need to be there on time, but thankfully we are not late at all.

After I arrived at the dorm I got dressed and went towards the classes, I could hear their voices in my head, the medicine still didn’t do its work yet, I’m going crazy. Someone was following me, but I did not care, my head is hurting, someone grabbed me and threw me to the wall, as I saw who it was every worry went away, it was Eleanor.

“Alaric, are you all right? You were not answering.” She said as she looked deadly at me, am I that disgusting? Or is she tired of me? Ah my head is spinning.

“Lea, I need to go to the physician.” At least I finished my talk before everything went black.

“Goodness, Alaric-” Was all I could hear from her, but I still could feel her touch on my skin.

I could feel that I was burning, I was sweating, it was so hot, until suddenly I appeared somewhere where it was all white, two voices came right behind me while the others were screaming beneath me, it turned all red dripping blood of innocents, my parents which were tortured, their eyes were plucked out, their bodies cut open came towards me grabbing me, my little sister was bleeding all over her little body, the other screams were not normal either. 

“Alaric, why did you leave us that day?” My mother was talking to me while my sister’s bloody hands held mine and kept her smile where blood came through her mouth, my father was crying blood, they all looked like I was at fault at here.

“You could’ve saved us, son, but instead you turned your back and went with your enemy, you are being blinded my son.” This was not real, father knew that I tried to kill him that day, but instead I was almost killed as well.

“You know well your majesty, that I tried to save you and your empress, but I was still a child that did not know how to wield a sword at that age, but despite that I still tried to help your majesty.” Right, this was still a nightmare.

“But you still had the power inside of you, and you still did not use that power to save your family, and now the enemy is in the throne, sitting and killing innocent people, and what are you going to do about it, my dearest son?” He wasn’t wrong about this.

“You know bloody well that if I had used that power the entire empire would have burned to ashes.” I said as I approached his majesty.

“You could have saved us back then, my little boy, but instead you watched us get killed slowly, and even burnt.”  They did not faze me anymore. I had enough of their talk, even though they would never say these things to me.

“Maybe you should stop coming to my dreams every single time, because of you I cannot get any wink of sleep, so I need to stay awake every single time because of the regret I had, but now I will not even be fazed by you, it was not my fault that happened, it was no one’s fault to begin with, so you should let me in peace and take your revenge as I should have done so.” I finally snapped back at them.

Suddenly I woke up, as I did she was there, she always had been by my side every single time, her face was laying in my lap as she held my hand, she had fallen asleep, her closed eyes made her look more peaceful than when she was awake, even though I am crazy about her, it doesn’t mean she needs to love me as well, I am a crazy bastard.

“You woke up?” She said as she got up and looked at me.

“Yeah, what happened?” I asked as she looked very tired.

“You collapsed so I got you back on your dorm, but then you started to scream and even cry.” Cry? I never cried in my life, maybe it was during the nightmares I had.
