Moonlight Curse

Chapter 7

PANGAKO SA YO
(THE PROMISE)

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

Linda's POV

How am I supposed to talk with him after what he said to me? Yeah I didn't care, I know he still miss me, needs me. But maybe after the serum is done? Uh well.

My heart still grumbles like thunderstorms when I daydreamed about him. Still pounding quickly.

But he must be hating me that much. What did even I do wrong? Isn't it obvious that I'm really into him and would sacrifice for love?

The way he kisses me, hugs me.. was more than more than friend, more than love. Then why did he just throw me away, decieving me.

Wait, I see a figure appeared. Uh, who is that?

"Hello, young lady. I am sure you know me, Horgan," he laughed.

I tried to scream, shout for help. But all I did was standing straight, nothing came out.

"Little did I know, Travis and you are something. Right?"

I shrugged but then there was a duplicate of me standing beside, nodded of agreeing.

"You know what will happen if you try to save him from me, right?"

"Please give more details," my duplicate answered.

"If the curse breaks, he will actually die. That's why I wanted him to be my slave, so he will be alive but not the same person anymore. I'm disappointed to say this, but you have 12 days to think. If you still try to break the curse, both of you will die. So it's not worth it. I'm sure you will pick the best for him, right, Linda?" he smirked.

I woke up and all I see was my bedroom and sweats all over my body. That dream.. he will die if I break the curse? No way! Oh my god, why things got more complicated now? We shouldn't even meet in the first place.

I'm sorry, Travis. My dream of becoming your heroine, is.. trumbled down. I can't save you, I'm sorry.

I locked again myself in my bedroom, crying along the day.

I tried everything to forget about him and move on by doing something new, but it just never works.

I went to the library and met Julivian. I brought him to many places to try something I never had, it kind of worked but as I arrived at home, I felt empty and started to lock myself again, trapped.

I made a lot of new friends in my workplace, comparing to the old me who was just an afraid woman to interact with other people, but that didn't change anything.

At night, I would sleep really early and in the dawn, I would go jog at the nearest park. I just wanted to prevent the night, where the part of me always screams for Travis.

But, this felt wrong.

There's 3 days left. I'm going to stop everything.

I looked at the serum, while sitting on a chair. I gripped it and was about to make it crush into pieces, till Travis stopped me.

"Linda!" he shouted

"No! It has no use! You will die anyway and-"

"Stop it! You're just going to waste the serum!" he sighed.

"Travis.. I.. I can't let you die just like that! I'd rather see you as the person who doesn't even know me then seeing you die!" I cried.

"Wh-what?!? What are you talking about? I'm not gonna die or even get amnesia."

"Huh?" I sobbed. He wiped away my tears and pulled me into a hug.

"Calm down, Lin. I know things have been hard for you.. like the last fight we had. I'm sorry. I was a beast."

Why do I feel like I'm not even living with him? Why does he always makes me feel better? His words are like medicine to me.

"Horgan told me.. that.. that.." I couldn't even speak while sobbing like stupid.

"I'm here for you, don't be afraid Lin. I'm always with you," he patted my head.

"Before we kill that Horgan, let's at least spend our nights together and make memories, shall we? We have skipped a lot of our quality times," he smiled. The smile I always craved for.

His smile was contagious and I couldn't even prevent it.

"Let's watch fireworks! You loved it, right?" he giggled.

"Fireworks? But I don't have any," I sighed.

He chuckled and took out a box of fireworks. I jumped of excitement and we quickly went to the rooftop to set it up.

"And.. done!" Travis shouted.

He lighted the fireworks and it started popping beautifully. It comes from many colours, blue, pink, etc.

"This might be the best memory of us you will keep," he smiled.

"Promise you will be alive for me?"

"Promise to my heart," our little finger wraps to each other.

He slowly adjusts his head towards my face and put his lips on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and it was a pretty long, passionate kiss I ever had. A memory to be treasured.

"Oh! I have something for you!" he chuckled.

"What is it?" I looked at him curiously.

"I'll give it to you as soon we kill Horgan, alright princess?" he winked.

Oh~ I almost died from the wink.

I nodded and we both went to bed as the fireworks stopped.

Goodnight, Travis.
