The Heir Of Cresenta

Don't leave

I was quiet. Actually, it is taking me all my soul of effort to pretend so. I started walking to the gate. Dave must be here to pick me up since mom must be in her duty.

"For god's sake! What the hell is wrong with you?" Izzy was on the verge of exploding. I was determined to pull this prank. I was quite a good actor but it can be hard when the person reads you like an open book.

"Can you at least tell me what I did wrong?" She half-yelled behind me. I turned around to give 'as-if-you-don't-remember' glare and walked off. I was laughing in the inside but held no emotions as I walked. I sincerely wished she won't be mad at me for this. I really needed to take care of the decorations and other details but how can I do it with her beside me 27/7. To be honest it feels weird without her beside me. I am used to her presence and it feels kinda empty without her here with me.

I am shocked she didn't figure it out, yet. Today is her birthday and I am acting strangely for no reason while I was completely fine yesterday when we watched movie late at night. Either she must have been completely confused by my oscar level acting or she must be playing along for my sake. I don't think it is the former one though. I stopped my inner rambling and turned to look at her.

She looked really mad and out of control. She was mumbling something and was walking straight to the main road with her eyes fixed on her shoes. Yelling from the place I am is pointless. I started running towards her. She was my only focus. I was there in a few seconds.

Before I could pull her. 

"Busted!" She yelled. I really wanted to slap her. Instead just pulled her into a tight hug. She was safe,  She was shocked by my reaction. But she hugged me back.

"I am sorry" She mumbled. I pulled away. She almost gave me a heart attack. 

"I swear I will punch you straight in your face if you even think of doing this next time." 

"Yes, sir. Understood, sir." She mock-saluted.

"Happy birthday"

"Geez! Now it makes sense. I forgot my birthday!" she exclaimed. I was debating whether to believe her or not.

"Are you serious?"

"Dead serious" This girl, seriously...

Dave tried everything he can to put out this fire. It was all futile. This fire cannot be stopped, not until she is safe. 

"Dave, " I took a deep breath. "There's nothing you can do"

"No!" He cut me. "No" He whispered. His eyes were teary. "There must be something.." He said defeated. 

"You have to go and find Eve. She is in danger." He looked at me.

"I am not leaving you..." We both knew that he has to.

"I am sorry..." I whispered. He placed his hand on mine. His water spirit was able to fight my fire. He placed the other hand on my cheek as he leaned in and kissed me. I responded immediately. I kissed him back with everything I had, savoring every feeling I felt. I wish things were different. I wish I can stay. We both knew it was the first and last time we could kiss. He held me so tight like I will disappear once he leaves me. And that was exactly what I was going to do. 

He looked at me desperately "Please don't leave me" A tear slid down his cheeks. It evaporated before I could catch it. I stared into his eyes not knowing what to say. I love him. I wanted to tell him that. 

"I can't stay" hurt flashed in his eyes. I couldn't look at him any longer. I know he would do anything to protect me. But Eve needs him. She was the one thing we valued more than our lives. He loved me the same way I loved him. The longer he held me, the painful my fire will hut him. He was the spirit of water but this fire is more powerful. I pushed him away and teleported to my citadel. I couldn't see him in pain. I felt tears running down my eyes. Evie, Where are you?

I kissed her. This was not how I planned our first kiss, not how I planned our future. I didn't know what to do. I know Evelyn needs me and so does Isabelle. Eve was like a daughter to me and how can I choose between them. I was not the one to act on impulse but I can't leave her. I loved both of them and I would die for them. I need to find Evelyn. She is in danger too. I felt my heart beginning to crack. 

I held Isabelle tight. I knew both were connected. I knew nothing will happen to Izzy as long as nothing happens to Eve. Losing Xylia was hard enough. And today I am about to lose everyone I considered my family. I wish I knew where to find Eve. I wish I could protect them both. 

I kissed her knowing she is planning to go back to the citadel. I just didn't want her to go. I didn't want to let go. She knew it too and that was the reason she was planning to leave me. She knew I wouldn't leave her. She Knew! I wanted her to know how much I love her. I knew she knew. I have to find Evelyn and this is not the time to act emotional but I lost all my rationality. I am losing both the people I love. Who am I supposed to save?

She pulled away gently. But it was enough to shatter my heart.

"Please don't leave me" I didn't care how I acted anymore. I didn't want her to leave. But I was running out of time. All my memories with her and Eve filled my head. I am not going to lose any of them. I won't let it happen.

She looked torn. I probably look the same. 

"I can't stay" I felt a pang in my chest, some sort of emptiness creeping in, fueling my determination to protect them. 

She teleported back to the citadel. She made the choice for me. I will find Eve. I swear I will not let anything happen to either of you. I will not lose you.
