The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 34: Bereaved

"Are you looking for this?" Louisette said while she held the necklace in her hands showing it to me. I tried to snatch it away from her using magic but she was quick to nullify my powers.

"So, you're also a magician," I said and she nodded her head. Looking at her powers, she must be on the same level I am.

"That is right! Now, we don't have to be so fast here Elyse. We should..." She spoke and starts approaching me slowly. I didn't back down as my eyes scowled at her. The necklace from her hand disappeared as she playfully touches my hair looking at me with her smirking face.

"... Have fun would you agree, Elyse?" I gnash my teeth while glaring at her. I could feel my eyes slowly starts to change color for the first time as it felt weird at the same time.

"Give it back to me! —"

"What? The necklace? Hah!" She went back away and starts laughing hysterically.

"My you still want the necklace, after all, that threat?" She laughs. "I would never be threatened by you," I answered.

She looked at me with a calm and collected face and scoffed.

"Even after I say... The district leaders have betrayed you?" I could feel something burning deep inside me and I quickly pushed Louisette into the wall with my eyes feeling hot. My vision starts to blurry with black and red, does this mean the color of my eye changed?

"Hah. When you're in this state, you looked exactly like Tina who made such an expression when I tried to warn her about the betrayal. But when you are calm and smiling, you looked like Aniya." She commented and her eyes glowing too. What? She sounds like Lewis talking right through me.

"Do you know Elyse? This necklace did not come from your parents but from the district leaders. They gave you such an important necklace that was actually a devil's shard." I paused. What?

What does she mean? Don't tell me she's trying to deceive me.

"Even the way you think looks really like Tina. My, who are you really Elyse? Are you Tina, Aniya, or yourself?"

"You! —"

"There's no point in giving me all the blame, Elyse. It's their fault." The necklace appeared right in front of my face as she spoke these words, "This necklace is the missing shard of the devil or would I say the ancient God who betrayed the principles. Do you remember the history, Elyse? Or, do you remember what you just witnessed while you were inside the memories of Lucia?" She said and I start reminiscing the memories I got while I was inside Lucia's memories.

"...for the sake of the world." Lucia's tender and a hoarse voice echoed in my mind, slowly remembering what she just said after she defeated the devil in the war.

Her painful expression is etched in my heart as I keep reminiscing her eyes that glanced towards me.

"But there's more, Elyse." I came back to the present when Louisette starts to speak more. Her eyes didn't glow anymore and it seems that she was back to herself.

"I know who killed your parents." She stated. I gnash my teeth once more.

"Don't you fvcking kidding with me!"

"Do I look like that to you right now?" She answered and I froze. What's this now?!

"Yohan, the 1st District Leader was the one who killed your family, Elyse. Especially your father." After hearing her words, I couldn't feel my fingers and thumb anymore as well as my beating hard racing fast as I froze from my spot.

My eyes start to cool down and came back to their original color as my vision too.

"You're just trying to deceive me, aren't you?"
