Haunted Dreams [Thomas Sharpe X Reader]

Part IX

"[Y/N], you have to trust me. This is not what you want." Thomas firmly said.

"What do you know with what I want? Thomas, please, just answer me." you pleaded. Thomas doesn't know what to say "You still love her." you murmured with pain.

"She will always have a special place in my heart but..." Thomas walked towards you, he wanted to reach you, for his feelings to reach you "I am not the man for you."

"Tell me, are real or just a memory of his house?" you asked.

"What are you talking about, darling?" Lucille let you go as she stood between you and her brother "We are real."

"You are Thomas Sharpe and Lucille Sharpe, right."

"Yes." Lucille faked a smile sensing that a threat to her plan.

"The Sharpe siblings died a long time ago." you said, "What are you?"

"Prisoners of this cursed house." Lucille's voice was full of disgust but it softens as she continued talking to you "But you, [Y/N] you can end this all. With the love you have for my brother, we will be free."

"Don't listen to her, [Y/N]. We will never be free from this cursed and we deserve this, you don't need to save us because you already did." Thomas' hands were almost caressing your cheeks. You can almost feel his cold hand against your skin "If you love me, you will leave now and forget about this. You can live your life..."

"But it is life that's keeping you two apart." Lucille cut him off "My sweet [Y/N], can't you see it? Thomas loves you too but life is keeping you apart." Lucille walked closer to you, pointing at the knife on top of the table "End it." her words were tempting.

Life, life is keeping you away from the man you love and you know you can do something about it. Unconsciously, your hand reached for the knife but Thomas' voice brought you back.

"[Y/N], don't. You don't need to do this." Thomas cold hands held yours "You can live without me." Caressing your face "[Y/N], fulfill your dreams."

"But you are my dream." You answered resting your cheek against his hands "I'd rather stay here than continue my life without you."

Listening to you, Lucille knew that her plan has not been ruined "Thomas can't you see, she is the one who can set us free. Her love for you will bring peace to us and this house." Thomas looked at her with confusion "You love her, Thomas. You know you do. That's why you're pushing her away but you don't need to do that. You were just scared that she will not accept you."

Lucille's words were like poison, killing every sense that was on you. Looking at the knife back to Thomas and Lucille, their words became blurry. All you can think of is to be with the man you love. You don't care if all of this is your imagination, a dream or just a memory of this house. You've seen the sadness in Thomas' eyes before and that moment, you knew that you want to take that sadness away.

"Life is keeping us apart." you softly mumbled this made siblings to look at you.

"It does, [Y/N], darling, sometimes we have to sacrifice for someone we love and you will do it because it is worth it." Lucille walked close to you, hands placed on your shoulder as she whispered "[Y/N] you will do it for the man you love, for Thomas."

Thomas was out of words, Lucille's words were getting into him. He knows why he cares so much for you and yes, he wants to be with you but...

"A sacrifice is all I need to make, to set you free and be with you." you said looking at him.

"[Y/N], I'm begging you. Don't do this." Thomas rushed back to you but you already holding the knife "Put the knife down."

"Thomas, do you love me?" you asked once more.

"I do." Thomas finally answered.
