Until Eternity BxB

chapter 26

Luckily Alaric had drove my car home, I didn't ask how considering he didn't have my keys but I basically dragged him into my house and up the stairs and to my office where I proceeded to pace whilst he sat in the chair . "Alaric , you know Amity and you knew she was going to do something. That's all I know about you. You seem to be a kind guy and are against what she's doing. please. " I sat on my table in front of him and looked at him pleadingly "I have been through too much in these past seven hundred years, if you know a way to keep maddox safe please tell me."

He looked at the floor with a sigh before looking back up to see that i was still looking at him . "Look Chester, I have known Amity and Alviva for a long time, i practically grew up with her by my side and we have been through everything together." He tried to explain, it made me wonder how old they all were actually , if we consider the fact that Alviva was alive before I was cursed then she might have the power to live forever, and who says that her daughter wouldn't be able to do that too? The question made me narrow my eyes at him a little bit but he continued with his explanation regardless of my facile expression.

"I know i told you that I met her in primary school, Well I lied I don't trust people that i have just met, of course. I saw and experienced the moment where Alviva decided to neglect Amity, she was only a child when Alviva stopped caring for her. Before that she was as loving as any other mother ." The story seemed familiar but I didn't understand how . "Look chester, considering you know about Alviva and Amity..." he trailed off a little bit which caused me to look at him, he had stood from the chair and was facing away from me.

I was curious as i watched his back "Yes I know quite a bit about Alviva, but i have only just met Amity..." he sighed before turning around and looking me dead in the eyes "Don't make me regret showing you this." he demanded. I was about to question what he meant before My attention was brought to his hand, which was slowly turning...blue?

The blue was spreading up his arms, his skin was a light shade of blue but i could see his veins very prominently as they were dark almost navy blue. His skin almost looked like ice , his hair definitely looked like icicles. the colour of his eyes replicated an icy blue. There was almost steam coming off his clothes from what I assume was a sudden change in temperature . Even I could feel that the temperature in the room had dropped significantly as Goosebumps started to raise on my arms.

I looked at him rather sternly and confused and rather fed up "Okay you're basically half frost giant, why do I need to know this?" He tilted his head back with a groan before returning to the Alaric that I had first met . "Look my point is, you can trust me. I want Alviva to love Amity like the daughter that she used to know and I want you to get rid of your curse. That would be ideal wouldn't it? "

I rubbed my forehead "Of course it would be ideal but i suppose that you have figured by now that ideal things don't always happen in real life as they do in books for example." Which was honestly really true, it is hardly ever possible for everyone to have a happy or ideal ending or fate. I had accepted that I wouldn't have the fantasy life like I read about in books. That was probably why i read as much as i do .

"Chester we need a plan, do you have any ideas?" I was thinking but i didn't have an actual outright answer or plan at the moment which would actually have a chance of working. "What are you anyway Alaric? I know that you aren't actually half frost giant...you would have red eyes." I tried to change the topic for the moment , my slight joke got him to chuckle a little bit.

"I'm an ice elemental" Alaric simply replied which caused me to raise my eyebrow and gesture for him to carry on explaining . He rolled his eyes at my lack of knowledge on the subject before continuing "I am an ice elemental, simply I am made up and can control ice, you just saw my natural form , you know witches are the controller and balancer of elements? well we can control a singular element, it means that we are more powerful then witches but only in our own element."

I started to laugh half way through his sentence before smirking at him "Let me guess, the ice skating was your idea?" he frowned a little bit at me and crossed his arms "yes it was...how was i supposed to know that Maddox had never been on ice before? Well...Amity hadn't been on ice before either, it was a little bit fun tripping her up when she didn't expect it. "

that caused me to breathe out a little laugh , I had also enjoyed seeing Amity hit the ice , especially now after what she did to Maddox, I am losing my sympathy towards her every time i thought of Maddox lying down on that ice. "look Alaric I do have an idea and i have absolutely no idea if it would work and it is simply to interrogate Alviva when Amity isnt there, that's the only way that I can think of to make Alviva realize what's going on. "

Alaric was shaking his head at me or more specifically my words "No no, Alviva barely notices Amity's existence now, if she thinks that Amity is interfering in your curse then all hell will break lose...unless there is a way to confront her without letting on that Amity is interfering ... "

We spent a lot of time that evening going over plans which we would then put into action , Alaric left my house at around seven pm , i just couldn't relax at all. I was fiddling with my necklace, rubbing the palm of my hand and bouncing my knee up and down constantly. When my phone made a noise i basically dived for it .

Hi chester! I hope that you are doing okay , i'm fine I have my laptop now. it is just a small concussion. I just wanted to let you know that i don't blame you, I didn't think that Amity would do something like that -M

it's alright Maddox, I'm ecstatic that you are doing okay, i will still feel guilty for quite a while but I'm sure that i will get over my guilt -C

awe please dont' feel any guilt! I had a really good time , I actually learnt how to skate! though i'm not too eager to do it again-M

well other then...that I had a great time too and i don't blame you, it's late , shouldn't you be sleeping? -C

well i keep needing to be woken up and i spent the majority of the day sleeping because i was so bored without my laptop!-M

The conversation between us continued for a while , it made me realize just how much Maddox has changed my life in the past few weeks. I have fallen in love with several people but this time I fell on my face and i'm not getting up anytime soon.
