Cursed

Chapter 18 - Confrontation

Chapter 18 - Confrontation

Alison's POV

"Hello Alison"

"What do you want?" I demanded, not moving from my place. She was old and wrinkly, but looked very much like Lana and Laura. She had the same eye and hair colour, but her eyes were lacking life. Her soul looked dead and she looked like a lost cause. In that moment, I was no longer afraid of her. She was a strong witch, only back when she had cursed Brian, but now, she was nothing. She had no life, no soul, nothing to fight for, but I did. And I wasn't going to give up on it.

"I see you have made your decision to stay with that foolish excuse of a man!" Her words made me angry, but I didn't flinch, I wouldn't give her the advantage of it.

"What do you want?" I repeated myself, loud and clear. She shrugged, inching slightly towards me.

"I just want to know why? Why you would want to waste the rest of your life on a low life bloodsucker"

"Let me remind you Grettan that it was you that turned him into what he is. Despite that he is still the amazing man he always was. What he did to your husband, was wrong. I agree with that much. But what you did to him was worse that what he did to you, worse than he deserved."

"WORSE? YOU THINK IT WAS WORSE?" she yelled and started laughing humourlessly. "Silly little girl. I loved that man more than anything. I tolerated my own children for him. I was willing to do anything for that man. Just the way you are willing to do just about anything for Brian. That's how much I loved him. And then they killed him, he killed him. For somehing he did accidentally, he killed an innocent man. You still think that he's a good man?"

"Do you hear yourself Grettan? You weren't in love with your husband, you were just obsessed. If you truly loved your husband, you wouldn't have abandonned your children, you would have loved them and instead of taking revenge on your husband's death, you would have let him simply rest in peace. This isn't even about what Brian did anymore, it's just the kind of sick person you are Grettan. You've never loved anyone in life, you can't , because you're made out of pure evil, and have a heart of stone." Her eyes were glowing blue and in a matter of seconds, I found myself flying backwards, hitting my wall before sliding down to the ground. Blood starting seeping out of me and pain consumed my entire body.

"You filthy little bitch. Who do you think you are?!" I pushed my eyes to stay awake and soon found Grettan throwing me against another wall, making me bleed more, and wince more. All parts of my body were sore. My arms were bleeding from the hard impact and my legs were bruised. My head was hurt and pounding and I wanted nothing more than to simply black out. "I loved him! More than anything!" She yelled again flying my body towards my cupboard, my face hitting the door handle and my nose starting to bleed.

"Face it Grettan, you know you're wrong. You just have nothing to do in life, you have no one." I dared myself to say, despite the pain. The image of Brian's face gave me enough motivation to carry on. Suddenly she stopped, starting to laugh again, humourlessly.

"Tell your sweetheart that he won't be surviving much longer. I am coming for him and I will finish you all in the process. Even my pathetic excuse of a daughter." Then, she dissapeared. Poof. She was gone. Her words kept ringing in my ear and I knew in that moment that I had to tell Brian. I tried to push myself off the floor, but didn't have any energy. Tears had now flodded my eyes as I found myself unable to move.

Just then, I heard my window unlock and not a minute later, heard the peaceful sound Brian's footsteps run towards me.

"Look who decided to surpise- Alison?! What happened?!" I heard him yell as he ran up to me, scooping me up in his arms. He looked at my bloody face and I could see the rage increase in his face. "Who did this to you?!" he said through girtted teeth. His eyes were turning red and the anger was evident in his face. I attempted my best, forming a somewhat smile.

"I'm okay-"

"Don't. Who. Did. This. To. You?" He asked once again. This time, I responded.

"She was here. She said that she's coming for you." His body was now shaking with rage, steam radiating from him. I lifted my hand, placing it on his cheek, moving my face closer to his. "Hey, look at me Brian" without hesitation, he did. He looked right through my eyes, his eyes changing back to normal instantly. "Don't you dare try to blame yourself for this-"

"But I am the one to blame. I promised you I would keep you safe. I promised you I would protect you. I promised you." His eyes turned soft and a quick tear spilled out of his eye, making my heart wince in pain.

"And you have, for so long. But something was bound happen eventually. Brian I don't care what happens to me, you are willing to fight for me, and so am I for you. I know it's only be a few weeks, but I...I love you Brian" The words finally exited my mouth and in less that a second, his mouth was on mine, moving softly against my own.

"I love you so much" he said between kisses. We soon realised that my bruised face was becoming an interruption. He slowly picked me up, carrying me to the bathroom, where he cleaned my wounds soflty and carried me back to bed. He got in next to me, covering both of us with my duvet.

"Brian, I love you but my pare-"

"Lana has that covered. She had them go to Scotland for a few days. That's why I came here in the first place." I smiled and attacked his lips instantly. We both didn't stop unless it was for air. In that moment, nothing else mattered. As long as I was with him, wrapped up in his arms, I was safe.
