Enchanters

Chapter 9: Emilia

How could this hurt so much, I knew that he didn't like me but it still hurt when he said it? I couldn't move it felt as if someone has just ripped open my heart just for fun. Trust me no one likes this pain it's not like we ask for it no matter what religion we are or if something we did in the past just wasn't at all who we are, no one deserves this kind of pain why is love so complicated.

"That's right Emilia I could never like you." He told me again.

Why does he keep wanting to rip open my heart? What did I do to deserve this? I kept asking myself why we are such idiots when it comes to love.

"I could never like you because I love you too much." Eric said.

Did he say that, did he say he loved me! Maybe he's lying maybe it's the enchant, wait no the song I sang was about liking someone not loving someone. It couldn't have been the enchant but then why is he saying this. Maybe he does love me maybe just maybe. No, what am I thinking this could be some kind of practical joke. Yet it he isn't, see the thing is that I can tell if someone is lying, it's a part of having the "most powerful enchantment."

"What did you just say, did you just say that you, that you," I couldn't say the words, he couldn't have, could he?

"I love you Emilia, I have never felt like this before" he seemed like a mix of sorrow and anger.

"I love you to Eric, but there is more than love, I am an Enchanter I could make you walk of a cliff if I wanted to and if we got in a fight I just might, I am powerful, very powerful. I am the most powerful Enchanter alive. You need to realize that it could not work, you should leave now." I never wanted to say this to him but I had to.

"No, I won't leave, listen I don't care what you are all I care about is that you are beside me and that you hold my hand, I also care that you are safe and that you never feel like you are forced to hang to with me but I will not give up on this." He said.

I almost burst into tears. But how could he not care, how could this be real? Am I going to have to leave him for my "true love" how is that fair? I know that I will get answers to this one day. I know that one day I will have to leave him. Even if my "legend" came true we Enchanters stop aging at 25 and 24 is our weakest state, it's when our Enchantment isn't as strong on people or other enchanters when we get to that age but when we are 25 we are as strong as we have ever been.

"Eric, I love you too, but this can't work out not between us." I said.

"Emilia, you love me how can this not work out? We have all we need right here I love you, you love me, I don't understand." Eric said. Sometimes he was so stubborn but yet so cute at the same time it just drives me insane.

"It doesn't work like that, you're human you have your whole life ahead of you and you're just going to give that up? No I won't allow you to." I said trying not to cry.

"Emilia you can't hurt me I don't care if I have to give up my life just to be with you, all I want, all I need is you." He was so sweet.

"No Eric, you could do much better, you could have someone prettier, nicer, loving, beautiful, but what am I, I'm just an ordinary person with Enchanting powers, someone who has been picked on all her life someone who nobody cares about..." There he did it again, the sweetest interruption possible that was impossible to make annoying he was making annoying. Ugh how can this boy be so stupid? I tried to warn him, I tried to stop myself but it was too late. He was kissing me and I was kissing back.

They say when you love someone you would do anything for them, but when you think about it would you die? Before you tell someone you love them you should think about it, and I know I'm getting a little of task here but would you save them from a zombie? Would you love them to the moon and back? Would you save them from being hit with a bus? Would you die for them? Love the one word people throw away, use it whenever they want. But I knew, I knew deep inside that I loved Eric and that I would never do anything to hurt him, if anything I would so everything to save him. I would save him from a zombie. I do love him to the moon and back. I would save him from being hit by a bus. I know I'm only 15, but have I found my true love? And is it more than just a fairy tale. No I can't forget about it, I can never forget about it, my curse. Well how other people would call it legend I call it curse, cause were ever I go, were ever I hide, it doesn't go away my "legend" is here to stay and it says "I will fall in love with an Enchanter, with the exact same powers I have," Eric I not an Enchanter he doesn't even know what an Enchanter is.

"Eric, I love you," I whispered, "but this can't work out I have a, a, a, curse," I had to spit the word curse out of my mouth.

"What do you mean curse?" he said while breathing deeply.

"I have a curse that tells me I am going to fall in love with an Enchanter with the exact same powers as me," When I told him this I saw the smile in his face disappear, there was nothing left but a broken heart (I could see that because of my Enchantment, if I was a regular human I would have never thought I broke his heart).

"But, but, but, you said you loved me." He stuttered.

"I do Eric, I do love you, I love you more than anything, I can't help that my Enchantment comes with a curse no more than I can help that I'm an Enchanter." I tried to explain.

"Emilia, as long as you love me, then I will take as much time as I can to be near you, but after when you go off with this pricy Enchanter boy I will still love you, and I will wait for you." Eric said as stubborn as can be.

"You still love me,"

"Yes, Emilia I still love you,"

"You still wanna be my boyfriend,"

"More than anything in the world."

I couldn't think, I couldn't move, I couldn't do anything, this was so hard to grasp. How could he like me? Me of all people, but I couldn't ask those questions, I didn't feel like I needed the answer to.
