A Woman He Once Loved

The next day...

(At an unknown place)

"You're finally awake," a woman said.

Cameron slowly opened his eyes, oblivious of what was happening. He then asked the woman who she was.

"You have no idea who I am?"

"No, but you seem to be familiar."

The woman brought her face closer. "Do I need to remind you?"

"You-You are..."

"It's me, Licia."

As soon as Cameron heard that, his eyes widened. He asked Licia what she had done to him. Licia then smiled and told him that she found him floating on the shore and decided to save him.

Cameron stood up. "I'm going back to the Water kingdom."

Licia hugged him. "I won't let you."

"Let go of me. You know that I have Eleanor."

"Can't we just go back to the way we used to be?"

"You've hurt me once, I forget. You hurt me twice, I forgave. You hurt me again, we're over."

Licia then explained that she helped Albert because it was the only way to see him.

"Where is he now?"

"He's dead. Including Jack and Jay."

"Well why am I not? Isn't that water poisonous to intruders?"

"It probably realized that you aren't one."

Licia then explained that she killed Jack because he kept badmouthing her and Charlotte was the one that killed Jay which means that Licia was the only one left among all the culprits.

Cameron sighed, "I appreciate your kindness, but it's now time for me to go back. Everyone must've be worried."

"Haven't I already told you? You're staying with me."

"You're just—"

Before he was able to protest, Licia smacked his head, and he fell to the ground."

She muttered, "I've already got you, and I'm never letting you go, my love."

A few hours later...

"Let me out!" Cameron shouted.

"Why? Don't you like being trapped in a tiny cage?" Licia laughed.

"Tell me, your just after the gem's aren't you? I can just give—"

"Like I said, I want nothing but you."

"Can't you just accept the fact that we're over? You're the one who broke my heart!"

"I already apologized! Isn't that enough?"

"You left me and hurt me!"

"Look, I had to—"

Cameron then told her that he didn't want to hear her explanation so she should stop wasting her time in him because ni matter what happens, they'll never go back to the way the used to.

"Just because of Eleanor?" Licia yelled.

"Why? Am I forbidden to love someone else?" Cameron asked.

"You promised to only love me!"

"I gave up on loving you not because you left and hurt me, but because not once did you ever even fight for me."

"If you can't be with me, don't even think of seeing Eleanor again."

"Please, let me out."

"If I let you out, you'll just run away from me, am I wrong?"

"I have a kingdom to rule."

"Prince Carson could always take your place."

"I'd rather die than spend the rest of my life with you."

"You!"

"What are you waiting for? Kill me."

Licia looked at the sword on the floor. "Don't get on my nerves."

Cameron laughed. "Why? Are you hesitant?"

Licia picked up the sword and pointed it to Cameron. "Stop talking."

"I prefer to die than break Eleanor's heart."

Licia's eyes widened. "Stop mentioning her or I'll really cut your head off!"

"Go on. I'm waiting."

Licia started sweating all over. She didn't know what to do. Should she kill Cameron? She then put down the sword and walked away. She mumbled, "No matter what happens, I can't kill you, Cameron. You're my weakness."
