Bond of Misfortune (Dwake)

Chapter 10: Misunderstandings

When feeling this burning passion to be with your loved one.. Feeling the sadness of that person, mourning over them. It isn't usually worth it in the end.. They end up betraying you anyways, my trust for him is gone. He isn't worth my tears anymore. He isn't the man I fell in love with in the first place, he is just somebody I used to know.

"Maybe if you joined me, give in to me, then you won't have to feel like this anymore. They deserve to suffer, they need a punishment after what they have done to you."

"D-Dwight?" A familiar voice called out to me. I still remained by the tree I rested at, it feels nice to finally be away from everyone.

"Dwight, c'mon.. I'm sorry.." His voice cracked as I heard his apology. Was it sincere? Did he really miss me? I highly doubt any of that, it would've been better if he had apologized earlier. He lied to me..

"Just go away, you have done enough damage." I called out, my voice barely a whisper. I heard the rustle of a few leaves and bushes, twigs being crunched. I turned to look at Jake emerged out of the bushes. He seemed a bit sad, why? I thought he didn't want anything to do with me anymore..

"I'm sorry, I don't know what had come over me.. I.. I swear I didn't mean any of those things I said!" At that moment, I have never seen him express so much emotion, let alone show it in conditions like this.

"You are the only one I got," he continued, his voice barely a whisper. "I love you so much, I don't know why I said those things.."

I sighed as I stood up from my place. Walking over to him, I had cupped his cheeks. Making him look up at me, I saw his tear stained cheeks, his brown eyes glistening from the fresh new tears that had threatened to fall.

"What happened Jake?.." I whispered to him as I had wiped the tears away, my thumb caressing his cheek. I felt him lean in onto the touch and heard a shaky breath.

"I honestly don't know.. All I remember is going into the forest for some me time and I ended up passing out. Then I somehow ended up back at camp.." He looked over to me, his eyes reflecting his sadness.

"Well.. you came into camp looking like you had seen a ghost. You ended telling me these harsh things and kicked me out." I removed my hand away from him, holding it close to my chest.

"Ah.. I do remember saying those things.. I was getting small images of these floating souls, I also heard a bunch of whispering." My eyes widened as I heard him mumbling the last part.

"Have you made any sort of contact to the Entity?!" I asked, looking over to him in fright and worry. He looked off, and I gasped.

"You did and you never told me?! You can get turned into a killer, it isn't safe!" I was quite mad he didn't tell me sooner.

"What about you? I would hear you whispering to yourself, telling yourself to stop, it was the entity as well, wasn't it?" Okay, maybe it wasn't a good idea to bring up the whole entity thing, but i was bound to be stated.

"Yeah, it was. But I can control myself, the entity has been speaking to me for a while now. It isn't a big deal."

"It is a big deal! You could end up losing hope and will just listen to the entity.. I'm worried, Dwight.."

"I don't understand why you started to care for me all of a sudden, why you decided to leave your little possy for me. Why are you so worried about me?!" I angrily sighed, turning away from Jake.

"It makes no difference, the entity had also talked to you. What makes me so special?" I stated and got whipped back around to face him. I squeaked as I was pulled into a sudden hug.

"I'm afraid of losing you. I am scared that you might give up and I won't ever see you again. I don't want you to suffer anymore, you have been through so much. In and out of this realm, you don't deserve any of this.." Jake croaked, his sniffling getting the best of him. Such a child..

"I'm sorry for being so naive.. I should've listened to how you felt." I quietly apologized, feeling a bit awkward and embarrassed.

"It's fine as long as you promise to tell me everything from now on. Including how you feel and what is on your mind.." I sighed as I let out a small smile.

"I promise."
