The Enchanters

Christmas Time <3

I woke up smiling widely. It was finally Christmas! My happiness was brought down when I thought about the party the other day. I wasn't going to spend Christmas with Ivan. It was suppose to be our 1st Christmas together. Ugh he's such a dick, why am I even thinking of him. I turned around and came face to face with Aaron. I smile to myself. I closed my eyes for a little and was pushed off my bed. What the hell? I opened my eyes to see Aaron jumping around all excited, screaming "It's Christmas!!!"
"You know, having lived hundreds of years, you would think that Christmas wouldn't be a big thing to you anymore"

"Um excuse me? I've only been around for 300 years. I'm not that old!"

"Oh, yes because normal people only live to be in their 90s."

"Hush. I need to go find my Christmas sweater. Or just go back to sleep." He dropped down on the bed, shoving his face in the pillow, already snoring. I put on a sweater and ran downstairs, sitting in front of the Christmas tree, wondering what Ivan was doing. It was 6 o' clock in the morning and everyone else was still asleep so he probably was too. I sat down on the couch when I heard a soft knock on the door. Ugh It's early in the morning on Christmas day. Who could that be? I opened the door and sighed. The Hazel eyed monster himself standing in front of me, smiling.

"What do you want?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"I wanted to wish you a merry Christmas." He smiled, looking like a completely different person than he was the other night. I narrowed my eyes.

"I wanted to wish you a merry Christmas." I mimicked and even used an accent.

"Hey! I don't sound like that! You made me sound utterly silly." He said.

"What are you trying to play here?"

"I brought you your present." He walked into the house and sat down on the couch.

"Yes, please come in." I rolled my eyes again.

I sat down next to him, he handed me a little box.

"Might as well just give you your present as well." I got up, getting the box, handing it to him.

When I sat back down I just stared at him, wondering exactly what the point of him coming was. He started to unwrap his present when I stopped his hand from finishing opening it.

"Ah. Don't open that in front of me. Open it in when you feel like you're ready." I said.

"Thank you. Anyways, I really should get going. Gotta hit the road. I have business to attend to in Greece with Angelina. Don't know when I'll be back."

"Ah yes. The wench. Well have fun." I said, sounding emotionless.

I walked him to the door. He turned around and hugged me before disappearing. I shut the door and sat on the floor in front of the couch. Why does he keep doing this? I helped him make the choice of choosing her. So why does he still keep coming back to me? I picked up the little box, inside was a heart shaped locket, opening it up to reveal a heart shaped locket. A little note fell out so I picked it up, and started to unfold it. It said,

"Wait for me, after all we do have eternity -Your love, Ivan"

I opened the locket, it had something engraved on the smooth back part. "Our love is Eternal"

I put on the necklace, I held on to the little locket and started to tear up, then slowly and all at once I started to cry. It was the kind of crying where your lips start to shake and tears build up quickly and fall fast. You bend over, trying to suck it in and not make any noise but it hurts too much to hold it in so you let out a loud noise and cry. Then you start to hiccup and dry heave. And slowly it all goes away and you're left there, feeling empty inside.

I don't exactly remember falling asleep but I woke up with Aaron's face in front of mine. I looked around to see that instead of being on the floor, I was in my room.

"I went downstairs 30 minutes later and found you on the floor. I was worried so I brought you in the room. What happened?"

"Ivan came..... He brought me a present." I said lowly.

"What? He came here? Why would he do that?" He asked, obviously angry.

"I'm still a lot confused about that. He got me this locket and there was a little note inside."

"Well what did it say?"

I showed him the locket and the note. I also told him what happened last night and just let loose again. It was hard to explain the pain I felt. I sobbed hard into Aaron's shoulder, shaking. His arms wrapped tightly around me. I couldn't pretend like I was perfectly okay anymore but I just had to move on. I lifted my head up from his shoulder, wiping my eyes. I looked up at him and said,

"Make me forget." 

"What?" He said, confused.

"Make me forget about him. Or take the pain away. There has to be some sort of spell for this kind of thing." I said, frantically.

"I can't do that Liz. It goes against our rules. We can't just use our magic so many times for personal gain." 

"Just for today Aaron. It can be a small spell. I just want to spend my Christmas being happy and not thinking about him." I looked into his eyes, "Please." I said.

"Okay okay okay. No need for the puppy dog eyes. But just for today."

Christmas was perfect, but the next day the side effects of the spell hit me. I was being very, emotional. I decided to stay in until this New years party on Friday. Aaron said he would stay and watch stupid movies with me all day to make me feel better. As long as I have my friends, everything will be okay.
