Curse You

The Truth and The Secret

Yael stepped towards Cassiel. "Yael?" Casiell asked, wondering where she was. Yael pushed Casiell against a wall. "What...what are you doing?" Casiell stuttered, embarrassed. Yael didn't reply and leaned in, moving closer and closer. Casiell's heart started pounding as she fidgeted about thinking about what to do. "What are you-" Casiell started but was interrupted by a loud squash as a huge olive fell down on them. Casiell screamed.

She woke up to realize it was a dream and gasped. "It was just a dream...and a weird one at that," She murmured to herself, tired and hungover from last night. Oh yeah! Last night, She thought. Then she blushed in embarrassment as she suddenly remembered how she fell on top of Yael and said some embarrassing things. "God..." She said covering her face with her hands. Her head hurt. She sighed and turned over to the other side and came face to face with Yael. She almost screamed. What the heck was he- wait, she thought as she looked around, this was his house! She fell asleep with him! On the floor! Yael groaned and opened his eyes as he woke up. He looked at Casiell and gasped. "What....what happened here last night!?" Casiell asked him in shock, her face turning red. "No! No, it's not what you think! Nothing like that happened!" Yael said trying to assure her, getting up, "I think we got too drunk and ended up...falling asleep...like that." Yael blushed, looking away and Casiell's face turned more red. She realized he was shirtless and stared at his body for longer than she should. He realized where she was looking and blushed, "I-I swear it wasn't anything like that!" He said, turning red and fidgeting to find his shirt. She quickly got up, bowed and said, "T..Thankyou for yesterday!" with a red face and rushed out of the apartment in embarassment, leaving Yael behind.

"Well look what you've done now," said a voice. Yael turned around and saw Oliver in all his glory, floating calmly. "Ugh, gosh now she probably never wants to see me again," Yael said in a frustrated tone. "She'll forget about it, don't you worry your red little head," Oliver said, trying to be assuring. "Has anyone told you that you look like an actual tomato when your face turns red?" He added, snickering. Yael looked at Oliver as if to say "Help me instead of making fun of me" and went into his bedroom.

Casiell gasped and fell onto her bed. That was SO CLOSE, she thought, I almost could have lost control back there... and then he would have found out. She pushed her face into her pillow, embarrassed. If I had become even a bit more embarrassed.... I would have changed right there in front of him! she thought, scared. It was a close call for Casiell. She had almost lost control and changed into her demon form in front of Yael because of how embarrassed she was, so she ran away from his apartment quickly. I trust him... I know he wouldn't do anything to me without my consent... I hope he doesn't think I just ran away because of him... I just can't face him right now ahh, she thought nervously. "Ahhh that was so close! He almost found out about it....imagine if he knew..." Casiell said aloud. She thought nobody heard her, but she didn't realize that there was someone hiding in her kitchen. Someone mainly known as Oliver. "Hmm...interesting," Oliver said, rubbing his chin and dissapeared into thin air.

Yael was making a sweet dish as an apology to Casiell. He had been thinking non-stop about her and what she might think about him now. He decided to go to her apartment later and apologize. He sighed nervously as he made the sweet dish. He heard a sound behind him and turned around to see Oliver grinning. "What are you grinning about?" Yael asked him, raining an eyebrow. "I think your sweet Cassy is hiding something...and I have a hunch that it might be related with that....weird energy around her," Oliver explained, grinning. "How do you know that?" Yael asked, suspicious. "Oh, well I just floated off to her apartment and overheard her-" he started. "WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN A GIRL'S APARTMENT YOU CREEP?!" Yael screeched. "Calm down, I was just trying to investigate," Oliver said, waving his hand in the air. Yael narrowed his eyes at Oliver. "She said something like "I'm glad Yael didn't find out" so I'm thinking she's definitely hiding something," He stated. Yael was intrigued. "Oh... now I'm even more interested to know about her.." he said. "Well, then make sure to go to her house today and get to know her more while you're at it," Oliver ordered, floating away. He nodded.

Yael quickly finished making the sweets and rushed to Casiell's door as fast as he could. He didn't want her to hate him or think he was a bad person. He needed to clear it up with her as quickly as he could. He breathed in and knocked on her door. A few moments later the door opened and Casiell stood behind it shyly. "I...uhm...I'm sorry...here's some sweets to make up for all that spice yesterday...and what happened," Yael said looking at the sweets, embarrassed. "It's..o.. okay! Come on in," Casiell replied nervously.

Yael followed Casiell as she led him into her living room. They sat down on the couch together. "Is this a sweet dish?" She asked Yael, bringing some plates to eat the dish. "Yeah, I made it," Yael smiled. "That's so nice of you..thankyou," Casiell said, admiring Yeal's handmade dish. She gave some to Yael and took some for herself. "This is amazing!" Casiell beamed, taking a bite. "Glad you like it," He smiled, eating some as well.

He glanced around and saw Casiell's story that she was working on, on her laptop. "You're the author!?" Yael asked, surprised. "What?" Casiell said in confusion. "Your laptop...that story! I read it and I love it!" Yael said excitedly. Casiell blushed because Yael complimenting her meant a lot to her. "T..Thankyou...I like to stay anonymous though..." Casiell said shyly. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I just can't believe that you're the author behind this amazing story!" Yael grinned. "I can't believe you read it," Casiell replied. "Well, who wouldn't? It's so good. You amaze me Cas," Yael said, looking at her with his deep crimson eyes. Her heart started to beat faster. She quickly said, "Oh uhm..this is what I do for a living." "Well it's amazing," Yael said warmly. "What about you? What do you do?" Casiell asked him. "Well...I'm a psychic so I help with ghosts and stuff," Yael replied casually. "Oh yeah, that's not surprising considering you help me with the ghost in my house," she said.
"Where does your family usually live?" Yael asked generally. Casiell's face darkened at the mention of her family and she replied, "They're....not alive." Yael was shocked and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry...I didn't know..." "It's okay...It happened a few years ago. They.....were murdered," Casiell told him. He was shocked to hear that and put his hand gently on her's. "I'm so sorry that you had to go through something like that...." He said apologetically.

Casiell tightned her grip on his hands. "I don't know who....but I despise the person who did it...and one day I want him to be caught," Casiell said, full of sorrow. "I was just 15 at the time," she continued, "I was coming home from school, and I heard screaming from the house as I approached it. I ran inside and yelled to find out what was going on and found my parents dead.....on the floor.....with blood just dripping everywhere and a masked man in a cloak staring at me with bloody eyes. I screamed and he ran out of the house through the back door"

"The police came shortly afterwards but they couldn't find him. After that I left school and my Aunt took me in and I did online school at home....it was a lonely time. My aunt tried her best but...." Casiell stopped as tears streamed down her face. "I-I don't want you to see me like this....I'm sorry...." Casiell started but was surprised as Yael wrapped his arms around her to embrace her. "I'm so so sorry Cas...I really am....I wish I'd met you sooner....I wish I was there to make it better...I'm so sorry..." Yael said with deep sadness as he hugged her. Casiell buried her face in his shoulder and cried. "You know Yael....you're the only person who's ever cared about me so much...the only person who I want to trust," Casiell said squeezing his shoulder, "I really want....to tell you everything about me one day..." she said quietly as she stayed in his arms.
