The Night Secret #wattys 2016

5

The night was cold and it feels odd, Gilliane could not help to stop thinking about what happened earlier.

"Sweety" Gil's mom called from her door "Do you want something to eat or drink...I mean you were so upset that-"

"It's okay mom, I'm fine, I want to rest,please" she cut her from speaking further, what else there is to say anyway. She closed the door and left.

Gilliane was alone, again. When her window near the bed opened wide and she could distinguished a dark silhouette of a tall person standing beside her. It was him, of course.

"Gil sweetheart...why aren't you answering your phone, I was so worried" he declared with puppy eyes

He walked to the end left corner of her room, sensing she was comfortable. "Gilliane"

She ignored him, so he came towards her and touch her chin, lift it upwards.

"Gilliane look at me,please" he repeated saddened

He placed his thumb on her bottom lip and started to caress it. She shivered in pleasure. "You know that you're my all in this world" he whispered.
A pair of eyes lit up in surprise and curiosity, she was so close to him now and their eyes finally met.

"You're serious? You're not only telling me this to cheer me up, aren't you?" She replied with a smirk

"Hush and hug me"

"What?

"Would you make me the pleasure to hug me?" He asked rather sarcastic

She rolled her eyes but happily embraced him. They fell in each other's arm, there was warmth when their bodies touch each other, almost like two lovers.

'Oh my god. It's so romantic' she thought

"It seems weird but..I know a way to cure you"

"What? What are you saying?" Her heart was beating fast and blood was rushing throughout her whole body making every nerve of her body alive.

She continued, "I have cancer and it's un.cu.ra.ble you idiot?!!" Says Gilliane madly.

"I just need to consult someone for this. It's something...forbidden " he said in a dark voice

She gasped, "It's a witch thing?" In a high pitched voice

"Yeah, I guess we can call it that way" he added.

"Tchh. Nonsense! I don't believe in witchcrafts" she confessed proudly.

"You are naïve child. See, it's a belief that our ancestors once teach us. You will be cure in no time, just give me a week, won't you?"

"A week for what?" She asked scratching her head

"I'm going to.." He couldn't continue his phrase, because what he saw suddenly weakened him.

"What?" Added Gilliane, she then felt a smooth sensation in the palm of her head almost like fur.

'Hairs...my hairs' she thought. This wasn't the right time to show him this. She excused herself and went to the bathroom.

Haul clenched his teeth, just hang on a little bit Gilliane, I know that time isn't favouring you but...it's now or never

A little kilometres away, in a wooden store, isolated from other houses was a place where not ordinary people usually go. A beautiful young girl was standing behind the counter, maybe seventeen or eighteen year old with long black jet hair falling to her hips dressed in a long ceremonial red dress, and a beautiful smile.

"What can I do for you?" The girl asked when Haul crossed the front black wooden door .

"Hi Arya, I'm here for Shaft ,could you tell me if he's here?" He asked eyeing his surrounding.

"Shaft? Yeah...he's upstairs with Sir Chadias, why you ask?" Arya replied

He chewed his lower lips ,"it's ...nothing important and Hina?" avoiding the girl's green eyes.

"Up to table three, she's been sulking here for about two hours, she's moody"

He walked from table to table, be could see two young men chatting in the corner and then a little girl with white blond curly hair sitting beside a table, hands cupping her face, trembling like a little bird.

"Hina...Hina the witch?" Said abruptly Haul.
