Moonlight Curse

Chapter 5

COMPLICATED

----------------------

Linda's POV

I decided to spend only a week in Paris. I needed to come back to London, or else I will lose someone I love again. Not Travis, never. A week in London, I also did spent some time with him.

I returned back to where my journey continues. I felt somehow relieved. I needed the rose. A week left to wait the winter season.

ONE WEEK LATER

Travis and I have been discussing about the ingredient. I told him about the blue rose, and a man has told me about it.

He said it's fine, as long as it's under my research. It was supposed to be a secret to people, but well. Gah.

But beside of that curse, I feel like my feelings for him is going so deep and I can't seem to let him go. If I were too choose between life or him, I would probably choose Travis.

I got this feeling, the feeling 'wanting to protect him'. I promised this, I would risk my life for him, after he saved me. As long as he is safe, I can die peacefully.

"Linda!" I snapped out from my thought.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Come here! I want to show you something," he smiled.

I quickly stand up from the cozy sofa, ran towards him excitedly. Then he pointed to the window.

Finally, it's snowing. The flakes was falling randomly on the ground, covering the moist soil. I was so happy and I hugged him.

Till then, I was thinking of how I will kill the vampire. I don't want to see him being a slave.

And I need to find the ingredient. He needs to be with me, but somehow.. there's always obstacles in every solution. Meh.

So I tried to discuss about this again with him, but..

"Travis, how are we supposed to find it at night? You're only able to go at night," I stated.

Travis became silent and made a confused face. What I'm thinking of doing is to wrap my arms around his waist and feel the warmth of his body. Uh, that's not the problem right now. Idiot.

"Hmph. Oh! I think I have an idea!" I smiled.

"What?" he answered with tough voice.

"I can find it in the daytime so it would be easier-"

"No! It's going to be a burden for you. And no, please do not go. Ever. It's too dangerous there," he shouted.

"Travis!" I sighed, "I know what I am doing and I know how to take care of myself. Please, let me find it. I will find it and come back real safe-"

"Linda!" he shouted to my face. "I've been there, and I don't need your help. Also.. I don't need you anymore. Please, just go. I don't want to see your face anymore." Tears starting to flow on his cheeks.

Why is this situation familiar?

But what is this? What's with the sweet words then? The hugs? And he's just going to forget me like that?

"Travis, I-"

"Please! I beg you. Get out of my life. Go!" He yelled.

I was shaking so hard, and became blank. Dumbfounded. Unloved. Hated. Empty. Stupid.

But I acted so fine, even after what happened a week ago, I smiled and walked out of the old house that Travis and I made some good memories there.

As I arrived at my house, I hugged my small legs, burying my face on my knee. I was crying hysterically, sobbed so hard that it made me hiccup. Heart aching, feeling like I was never alive. Living to die. That's all. He was like opening my old wound again.

Why is he doing this to me? And why did you even stopped me from killing myself? Do you really need to go that far?

-----

A few days has passed by. Oh well, time neutralize his words. I didn't care, I still need to find that freaking rose. But how am I supposed to find it when I don't really know how to make it?

I went to the library again to find the book. I was searching for the book again till someone poked my shoulder from behind. Suprisingly he was Julivian. Oh thank god I met you!

"Julivian!" I smiled.

"Wow, unexpected sighting I see," he bowed.

"I really need your help right now. You have to find the flower with me and we-"

"Woah slow down, Mrs.. um, I didn't get your name from our last meet.. Pardon?" He smiled.

"Oh! It's Linda!"

He nodded and asked me to continue what I wanted to say.

"We will go to the hill to find the rose. I know you know everything about this, that's why I really need your help right now."

He was thinking for a while.

"Um, miss. The request of yours, I can help you. Under few conditions," he looked determined.

"First, don't ever complain for what I'm gonna ask you to do for. Second, you're gonna follow my instructions. Lastly, um," he hummed.

"What? What is it, Julivian?" I asked.

"You have to prepare your body physically and mentally. No weaklings have ever survived in this. They broke and die. So I hope you can do this." He sighed.

"Even though I'm a girl, that doesn't mean I'm weak. Don't worry, I will hear to you!" I saluted and we laughed.

"Tomorrow, by the dawn, we will move. Please prepare your hiking materials, foods, drinks, jackets and hot packs. It's very cold and also dangerous there. Bring everything that is necessary. We will meet outside the library and will move real quick. So, may I leave now?"he smirked.

"Ahhhhh, sure! You may," I smiled and bowed.

I have no fear for this. I can do this!
