Haunted Dreams [Thomas Sharpe X Reader]

Part X

Finally, you've been wanting to hear it from him. Thomas may not say those three words but he did admit that he loves you.

"You know what to do [Y/N]." Lucille's venomous voice echoed in your head "All you have to do is end it."

"No, [Y/N], you don't need to do this." Thomas held both of your hands. His hands may be cold but there is a sense of warmth in it.

Lucille watched you and Thomas, she can tell how much you love each other and how her brother will ruin her plan.

"If you won't do it then let me help you." Lucille stood between you and Thomas, gripping the knife on your hand. Her cold hand brushed against your warm skin "Darling, this will hurt for a bit but you will be fine."

"A simple sacrifice that I need to make." you softly mumbled as she smiled at you.

"Don't listen...." Thomas words were cut off. Lucille stood behind you, arm around your neck and knife pointed at you.

"Don't, Thomas, you're the one who is ruining this for us! Can't you see I'm trying to set us free? I'm true to set you free." Lucille pointed the knot to him but she looked at you and softly brushed the knife against the exposed skin of your neck "She is mortal and as long as she is, you two can't be together."

"I'd rather see her live her life than kill her and be with me. Lucille, we are repeating history. She will be trapped with us." Thomas took a step and you can feel the knife cutting into your skin "Don't hurt her."

"I've taken your chance to be happy before and now I'm fixing it." Lucille's tagged your hair "I just want you to be happy."

"Not, this way." Thomas took another step and he can see your cut bleeding "Killing her will not make me happy."

"But you love her if she dies her soul will be trapped in this house and you two can be together and finally you will be happy." Lucille reasoned out.

"That's not how it works, Lucille. It will not make me happy. This will not end our measures." Thomas couldn't tell if his words are reaching he's sister.

"But isn't this what you want?" Lucille's voice was raising "You want love, to be far away from me, from this place, from our life! The good life I tried to maintain for us!"

"We have a choice not to kill." It was Thomas turned, he couldn't control his tone. He never thought that even after death he can still feel pain and sadness. Thomas looked at you with pain "[Y/N], we are not real. We, I am a murderer, killer. We are ghosts haunting this house... What do I need to tell you?"

"This is her faith." Lucille pointed out.

"Just like everyone before her? Lucille, we are in a cycle here. Spear her life, for me?" Thomas pleaded.

"Will you ever forgive me?" Lucille's voice softened "I only did it because I want a good life for you."

"I know, you do but this is wrong. Lucille, I already forgive you long ago." Thomas response. Her gripped losses that you took your chance and run from her. Lucille tried to catch you but Thomas held her "Lucille, stop." he said looking at her directly in the eyes "We don't need her to be free. Lucille, listen to me. I love you and I forgive you." Lucille's lips curved into a smile. She waited for so long to hear those words. You saw how her face change, for some whos ready to kill you, her face soften. She cupped his face and caressed it gently. Suddenly she looked innocent and only but love for her brother. Thomas kissed her on the forehead "Rest, Lucille."

Lucille figure slowly fading and you saw her looked at you and mumble her apology. Everything seems to be happening so fast, so fast that you don't know what to do.

"Thomas," you called.

"[Y/N], I need you to leave," he said.

"No." you stubbornly said, "You said you do love me. I can stay here, I don't need to go. You don't need to go. Lucille said if I die I can stay here and I can be with you."

"I am not a good man. [Y/N], don't say things that you might regret." Thomas said with a bittersweet smile.

"I'm willing to take a risk. I have nothing to lose," you said reaching to him.

"You just don't realize what you have." Thomas run the back of his hand against your cheek "Why you are not afraid to die?"

"Because I want to be with you," you answered.

"I want to be with you, [Y/N]. I do but this is not our time. Not this way."

"You are going." your voice almost faded.

"I have too." Thomas words were gentle yet it pains you so much.

"Take me with you. I have nothing here." You told him.

"[Y/N], sometimes people who are afraid to die doesn't have anything and they are afraid of death because they have nothing, nothing to remember after death. For some, they're willing to die because they had lived a life. They have memories to cherish and I am not afraid to go, now. [Y/N] because of you, even with death I had a second chance in life. For the short time, I have memories to remember. I will leave not because I don't love you. [Y/N], I love you and if I can be with you I will take that opportunity but I don't want you to end your life. I want you to live and fulfill your dreams. Maybe it is not yet our time." Thomas cupped your face and rested his head against yours.

"I will see you." You said holding his hands.

"[Y/N], in my next life I will look for you if I don't find you, I will live a thousand lives, I will not stop until I find you." Thomas cold lips were pressed against your lips.

"I will search for you. Your face will continue to haunt my dreams not until I find you. Thomas, I will wait for you." You said holding his cold face in your hands.

"I will see you in your dreams." Thomas cold lips once touch yours. It was a short and gentle kiss. He moved back and looked at you for the last time "I love you."

You held his cheek, he was so cold but his eyes look at you with nothing but love. His lips formed into a smile and kissed you at the palm. Thomas faded with the cold wind of the night. No, you will not say goodbye, you know that you will see him again and when that happens, you two will be together.

Looking at the mansion one last time, Allerdale Hall has forever changed your life.

One year after, so many things had happened; you finally released your book and it was a success, you are starting to write a new book, you started to travel a lot and trying new things. You are doing what you think Thomas would want you to do. But the sad thing about living your life is that you never dream of him.

"[Y/N], packaged came in today." Josh said as he gets into your room and handed you the box.

"Thanks but I'm not expecting anything," you told him.

"Well, I already got it in your mailbox." He response.

The box isn't that big and there is nothing written on it, it doesn't say who or where it from. Your heart started to beat fast as you open the box. Inside there's a music box, an old music box. Your fingers gently brush against the surface when it suddenly opened. Music started to play and it sounds familiar, you've heard it before back in the Allerdale Hall. In the middle of the box, was a golden ring with a crimson stone. A smile appeared on your lips as you recall the name of the man you love, Thomas.
