Cursed Halves

•Chapter 3•

sorry the picture didn't post last chapter

*Right before Holle is about to leave*

"Hey Aeron, can I talk to you... privately?" Holle asks

"I- umm... sure" Aeron hesitantly responds.

What if she knows and she's about to kill me? Aeron thought

"Hey..." Holle said nervously.

"Hi." Aeron responded "So what did you want to talk about?"

"Well... Okay I know this sounds absolutely crazy. But, you know the legend about the curse everyone is always talking about?"

This is it, she's going to kill me. Aeron thought

"Yeahhh..." Aeron said

"I know I sound insane right now... but I think the curse is true... and it's about us."

"..." Aeron didn't respond

" I'm sorry I'm probably just being silly... I-umm.. I'll see you soon. By-"

"Wait!" Aeron said, "you're right... I think the curse is about us."

"...Really!?"

"Yeah..."

"Umm... well we kind of have a problem then don't we..?"

"Yeah, we do"

"Aeron, how are we supposed to do this. One of us has to die but yet we are the only ones who can bring peace. We are supposed to rule together, live our lives out together. How are we supposed to do this when I can't stand you and want to kill you. Your so annoying but yet, I think I like you..." Holle stuttered. "And I don't want to kill you... but how are we going to get married when we are destined to kill each other?"

"I'm not sure about the killing each other and living together part; it worries me quite a bit too. But what was that other thing you said?"

"Ohhh.. um nothing, I have no idea what youre talking about..."

"Holle?"

"What!?'

"Ho-"

"Okay fine! I like you Aeron, I've liked you since we we're kids and I thought my stupid crush was gone but I guess not. Happy?"

"I- uhh Holle... I won't lie, I have always had an urge to kill you, no offense, and to be honest I probably would have at this point but I could never find that stupid dagger-"

"Wow, thanks"

"No- Holle, I couldn't control it, you know that!"

"I know, by the way I think I have the dagger"
"Okay, well anyways- YOU WHAT!?... How?!...Please don't kill me Holle!"

"Oh my God Mr. Ego, you think you're sooo smart, I already told you I don't want to kill you, and I was gifted it at birth.

"Thank you so much! And that's kind of weird, giving a baby a dagger? But you had the dagger all this time, I knew it!" Aeron giggles.

"Yeah I guess it is" Holle laughs along.

"Well anyways, back to what I was saying... I think I like you too Holle..."

"Wait really..?"

"Uhh yeah." Aeron says staring at the floor, hoping Holle doesn't notice he's blushing.

"Wow, we really have a problem... what are we going to do?"

"Honestly, I have no idea..."
