Purple Eyed Wizard

Chapter 28 If You Love Me Let Me Go (Part 1)

Violet's POV

"Like I'm going to believe you" I scowled.

"I'm telling the truth!" He raised his voice.

I can't help but feel something deep inside of me that I want to hug him. But a little voice at the back of my head tells me he's a lier.

"You used me and made me think you're family! How could you?!"

As he was opening his mouth to protest I interrupted him "but you know what? I'm much more powerful than you!"

Even though only the one who freezes time can unfreeze it, I managed to get the time going by myself. It takes a while to stop time again.

I called aunt Helda whilst Andrew held him in place. When my aunt came into the room, I heard the guy whisper something under his breath. By the movement of his lips, I figured he was saying 'Carla'. I didn't get what he was going for.

Andrew was about to punch him and knock him out. "No! Don't" the words came out of me without thinking.

Instead, I put him to sleep and my aunt took him to the basement.

Andrew put a hand on my shoulder "please do me a favour and not go near him alright?" He says with a warm smile.

I nod.

Andrew left, closing the door behind him. But as I turn around I hear two more clicks. I try twisting the doorknob but the door doesn't open. "Hey! Why did you do this?!" I bang my fists on the door "Andy, let me out!!" I shout.

I hear no response.

I try breaking the door but my powers didn't work on it. What is this even made of?! "UGH!" I groan in frustration as I slide down on the ground and hug my knees together.

I start thinking. Was the guy really telling the truth? Is Andrew really a selfish asshole? But it doesn't make sense.

Suddenly a wolf jumps in from the window. "Andy?" I say.

The wolf transforms into a human but it is not Andrew.

"Where's Salem?" He asks.

"Who?"

"This is not a time to play games!" he says with a stern voice.

"I'm not playing games!" I frown. "Who are you anyway?"

Then another wolf jumped into the window. This one has red fur.

"Can you guys hurry up!" The red wolf says.

Why do strangers keep breaking into our house?! They act like they know me. How do they know me?!

I pushed them aside as I climbed down the window. I ran as fast as I could to the basement where aunt Helda is.

After I walked through the squeaky door, I saw the guy sitting in the corner of the room- he had a bloody nose, black and blue face and a brused cheek.

I gasped at the sight and walked in front of him. He looked up at me with dull eyes and a lifeless face. I felt weird inside when I looked at him and the name 'Salem' ringed at the back of my head.

When I heard footsteps I whispered "sorry" and then kicked him in the stomach. "Yeah, you deserve that!" I smirked.

Aunt Helda smiled to herself and said "ready?"

"For what?" I say confused.

But as I turn around, I am no longer in the dimly lit room. We are now on top of a high tower. However, this was not an ordinary tower, when I look down I see a massive black hole deep down, sending darkness all around us. And the wind was blowing hard tossing my hair backwards.

I turn around and see the bleeding guy, the guys who were in my room, and a girl, all tied up on the ground.

"Feel free to execute them" my aunt said before she disappeared.

I smiled a wicked smile and approached the bleeding guy. "Any last words?" I say.

"Just cut to the chase. I lost you anyway" he says in a low voice. "I failed to protect you" he sighed.

***

Why can't I do it?! Why can't I kill him? He doesn't mean anything to me. By the look in his eyes he's making me hesitate. His look is strong but filled with grief.

"Stop that!" I snap.

"What?"

"Stop looking at me like that! I'm trying to kill you!"

"Then don't look at me" he says simply.

"Well, aren't you gunna fight me?"

"No" he says. "I would never hurt you".

I grab the sword on the ground and  swing it near his head but something blocked it and she screamed "SALEM!"

"That's not you, Violet" she says.

Salem didn't move a muscle, just stayed there.

The girl stumbled to the ground after I pushed her.

She gut up on her feet and approached me "Violet! I gave up my wings for you. I sometimes lied to cover up for you. I trusted you with all my secrets, and you leave me like that?!" Tears rolled down her cheeks. "Sweetie pie, please remember" she said with a cracky voice that came out as a whisper.

The name 'sweetie pie' echoed in my head.

Minutes passed and I stood frozen, not breaking eye contact with her. Then my eyes softened "T-Tara?" I whispered.

Salem's POV

When I heard Violet's voice saying 'Tara' my eyes lit up and I stared at them in shock as they pulled each other into a tight hug.

A figure creeped at us which I recognised as Andrew. "You!" I said through gritted teeth. "Alexander, now!" I shouted.

As soon as I said that, both James and Alex transformed and attacked Andrew.

"What I was trying to tell you is that you can't connect with the spirits unless you have evil in your heart. Carla is trying to plant this hatred by putting false memories" I say, as quickly as possible. "Don't let the darkness take over you, please".

I demanded this information from the witch before I came here, and now that she remembers all the good things we had she can never turn dark.

"She's coming!" Violet gasped. "Salem, fight me"

I didn't do anything, I just pretended to dodge her punches.

"Drop to the ground near the edge" she said. I obliged and held the edge of the fence. "Salem, I....I love you" she whispered but I heard her clearly.

"D-don't do anything stupid, please". I don't know what I would do with myself if I lose her. I want to tell her I feel the same way, I want to hold her in my arms and never let go, I want to be with her. When I found out she couldn't remember me, my life was taken out of me and I couldn't do anything.

"I didn't think you would remember" the voice of Carla said then her figure appeared in front of us.

"You lying, evil ...... Witch!" Violet stuttered at coming up with insults.

"You have two choices, either you give me your powers and I let you go, or I can take them forcefully and kill your friends in front of you" Carla says in a deadly voice.
