It's Only A fairy Tale

Who Are You?

They both sat at the table. The food laid out in front of them.

Luca stared at the table with the food on it. Adonis stared at him.

"Where so I start?" Luca mumbled, and rubbed his face.

"From the start, very start." He looked up to Adonis and nodded.

"It started years ago. I was a kid....."

A young boy was running around with a little girl. They were playing when her mother walked up to them. She grabbed the little girls arm and dragged her away but she turned around half way.

"Don't ever talk to my daughter again!" She continued to pull Aviana away. Luca watched, he then turned and walked away himself. 

..........

"You see, up until that point Aviana's mother hated me. And after that she wouldn't really have a chance to hate me. And my father picked me up." 

............

"I'm sorry she was like that. We'll make sure you still have friends though, don't worry." Luca's father messed up his hair.

They were driving with speed, not more than the speed limit. Luca spilled his hot coco on himself. He screamed and his father turned to him. He tried to find some napkins. Luca looked up, he saw the woman who yelled at him not that long ago. She was running after her child whom she made run way from her and into the road. She didn't look both ways and didn't see them coming her way. Luca screamed for his father to stop. He tried but it was to late. 

..............

"We went to the hospital with Aviana and later her father showed up. I sat outside, she was in the room when her mother died but not before cursing her. But also made a promise, to never leave Aviana's side. But what Aviana never knew was she made the same promise to me.  I just have been more careful. After she died, Aviana came out. She looked fine, well other than her tear soaked cheeks." Luca sighed and took a sip of beer.

"After that I would have nightmares of her. They still continue. Right now I can't see the things you two do. I can hear them though, like a faint echo. I could hear something in the room earlier but didn't say anything. Luca, you saw her mother and I believe the thing I heard was the thing behind you. I don't know for sure but I think it's an angel. They speak in a different language so I don't know, it was quiet." Luca paused and turned to see how Adonis was taking the news. 

"Okay, so I saw Aviana's creepy ass mother and the thing behind me is an angel. Got it. Next." He looked over to Luca.

"I'm sure that weird things keep happening to you right? Like you get to redo things?" Adonis nodded. "I get them too, it's a redo like I said. If we messed up the first time or they want us to do something different they make sure to redo it. But it's not always that, it could be flashes into the future. Like a moment where you or someone around you dies. These are much more rare but they happen. When these do you should know why. I had a moment of that before I was going to leave the hospital. But I saw what could happen and stopped. Not because I didn't want it but because you needed me." Luca stood up, his hands looked like they were trying to speak for him. 

"Sorry, this part might be hard  for you. Adonis, you saw something you shouldn't have. The angel behind you came into my body and took that memory away. You can get it back though, but if you do. Well let's just say it won't be good. Until we take Aviana's mother down, you and Aviana and I will be cursed. I to death, Aviana to be alone and you, to live in a world not ours. This means you will go insane. We must break our curses. We have to kill her, Aviana is our way to that. I didn't want to do this before but now that you looked into her eyes, and she's gotten much more aggressive of late. Have you seen anything that was not good, like a death or injury of some sort?" Luca was walking back and forth.

"Yeah, yours. I saw her kill you Luca." Adonis leaned back, Luca stopped walking.

"I see. So I'm her target. But you got in the way, she's going to try to take you out as well. Adonis, when you saw her- never mind. Wait! When you got sick do you remember anything?" Luca sat on the table in front of Adonis.

"I only remember being in Aviana's room." Adonis shook his head.

"Good! That's good, um when you and Aviana were alone in the room, what happened?" 

"I thought I saw her fight with the angel. I don't know for sure but I think Aviana can see the angel." 

"What? No, no, no. She's not supposed to, you maybe, but not her. This is bad." Luca covered his eyes with his hands. 

"What's bad?" Adonis ripped his hands of off his face.

"Aviana isn't supposed to see me. Unless she is close to death." Luca replied, his tone off.

"See you? Luca, what's wrong with you?" Adonis waved his hand in Luca's face. Luca stood up and walked back and forth.

"Yes, me, I think I'm drawing her out and am making her more agitated. Stay close to Luca and Aviana." Luca stopped talking, Adonis runs up to him and shook him

"Is it her mother?" He asked while shaking Luca. 

"Is what, what?" Luca asked, his head a bit jumble.

"Never mind. Welcome back. It looks like you were right. Things did get more complicated." Adonis sat back down, he took a piece of pizza and shoved it into his mouth.

"Sorry? It's not like I try to be right. Adonis, you could lose your life. Her mother is not a normal evil spirit, so to speak. Her mother is like a living thing, it feeds off fear and lurks in the dark. It's strength it reduced when in light." 

"How do you know all this?" Adonis asked.

"Because I listen. Anyways, if you ever see her again. Don't look into her eyes. Eyes are the way to souls. Shortest path and she will see everything you fear and turn it against you. Now, if  you agree, we have work to do. What do you say, join me in hunting a ghost?" Luca smirked slightly, Adonis stared at him. 

They aren't really going ghost hunting, but they will try to break their curses. Adonis has to say yes for this to happen though. Luca has the ears but no eyes.
