The cursed one: part 3

Elisabeth's point of view:

As we were both alone, she moved toward me then she said "You and I have a lot to talk about!"….

"What do you mean by that?" Somehow, I'm feeling that from the moment she came in here after she left, something was off with her.

"Do you know what's the real reason behind that the witches wanting your death?" Sybil asked.

"I guess because I am a hybrid," I told her "The first of my kind, and they see me as a thread!"

"There's a prophecy… It said that you will cause our doom." I laughed as she was speaking. "Okay ..! This was a good one. You almost got me with this one." Her reaction remained the same as I was speaking, and if it means something - it would be that she is not laughing, nor joking." You're not bluffing - aren't you… You're serious, aren't you?"

« Celle qui passera par le chemin de la mort ...

Deux en un, mais elle reste personnel ...

Gâchera l'espace ...

Gâchera le temps...

Va détruire la terre, Va faire passer la mort, et la fin du monde arrivera finalement. »

She spoke again saying random words that I don't understand, so asked her …

"What does this means?"

« The one crossing the road of death...

Two in one, but not anyone yet...

Will mess the space...

Will mess the time...

The Earth would be ruined, death would go by, and the end of the world would finally arrive. » She explained it while flipping her hair.

Then she adds, "It's a prophecy that was told hundreds of years ago… Each and every witch is obliged to learn about this one since we all need to stop the cursed one from causing our doom."

"Okay! I get it… It's an important thing to keep the world safe. But what does it have to do with me?" I asked her, then she started explaining.

« ⇉ The one crossing the road of death, meaning the one whose back from death. You already died, and here you are.

⇉ two in one, but not anyone yet... You are a vampire and a lycan, but you're not any of the both - you are a hybrid.

⇉ Will mess the space... You will cause a war.

⇉ Will mess the time... You will bring the past upon.

⇉ The Earth would be ruined, death will goes by, and the end of the world would finally arrive. » She explained while flipping her hair. Meaning you'll everyone's end. Need me to explain more?"

It took me a while to release what she was saying, but then something caught me out of guard.

"If all witches want me dead, why are you helping me?" While asking her, I let out both of my fangs canines.

"Relax! I have had nothing to do with the witches' coven for a while, and I see no reason to kill you." Though she explained it to me, I still feel confused. What does she mean by witches coven? Why do I have to trust her? While watching her she told me just as if she was reading my mind.

"You don't have to trust me if you don't want to, I'm helping because deep inside I believe that this prophecy can be changed, and because I care about Liam. If I caused something to harm you, he would hate me."

I normally should feel relaxed while hearing what she said, but I feel the opposite. It's as if her words were causing fire into my soul.

"What do you mean by saying that you care about Liam?" I asked her, hoping that all the things running on my head wouldn't be true at all.

"How silly you are! The way I care about Liam is the same way that a sister would care about her brother, he's someone I do trust – and would never be who am I now if it wasn't for his help. If you are thinking that something is going on between me and Liam, then you are just a fool. He's only into you, and only you. "

Somehow, I started feeling relaxed after she explained. "I'm not silly … and I don't think he cared about me anyway," I told her, meaning my words, and she laughed.

"You really are - silly. You're his mate, why wouldn't he care about you? You should've seen how he was acting while you were unconscious, he's even putting his hands on Elijah's hands only for you."

Does he care? Really! I found myself wondering, but none of my memories show so.

⇒ He used me.

⇒ Played my feeling.

⇒ Caused my death.

⇒ Gave my rightful place as his mate to another.

If he really cares about me even a bit, he wouldn't hurt me the way he did. He would've loved me in my weakness, and not to wait until I got stronger.

While thinking, Sibel caught out of guard by speaking again.

"It's true that he messed up… But you can't judge the book from its cover. You need to know what he's been through since his young age, he's willing to change–you only need to give him a chance. ,"

I looked at her in shock, then I asked her, "Were you reading my thoughts?" She laughed again, then she answered my question.

"No! I wasn't… I can't do that, I can still read the looks on your face."

I smiled at her, feeling a bit relaxed, not for too long since she added, "But I've seen something through your memories."

My smile fed off the moment she spooked "What did you see? Was all asked about.

What she said caused me to feel panicked and anxious." How since did you know?" She answered my question with a question. Yet, her point was clear.

"Not for so long," I said the truth, I mean I only discovered that Albert is Liam's brother by only one day.

"When were you planning on telling him? Or were you already planning to do so?" She asked, and I answered her by telling the truth. "I'm not sure if I was going to tell him or not?"

"I see, it's not easy to tell your mate about his death. Do you know how? I wasn't able to see the vision, all I could see was Liam laying between the queen Sophie's hands." She said, which made me a bit confused.

"Wait… What? Do you mean by vision the dream I'm seeing too much lately!!" It was obvious that she was talking about the dream ... still, I needed to make sure that we were talking about the same subject.

"Oh, my goodness, Elisabeth! It's not a dream, it's a vision, it's more like a sneak peek from the future."

My heart starts beating fast, a sneak peek from the future. If it means something, it would mean that my mate is soon to die… I have to do something for him, I can't let him die while watching.

"Though I believe that he needs to know what's happening with him, I still won' tell him a thing about this. It's your choice to make, the whole thing is up to you now. Yet, this is not the issue, I need to know how he's going to die in order to save him."

Now that she said that, her eyes were on me waiting to hear the rest of the story. The problem is that I have to tell them about Albert, but I can't.

If I told them about him, then Liam would manage to save himself and I wouldn't lose my mate. On the other hand, it would be as if I betrayed my people since they're relying on the fact of Albert being the new king, to bring the peace between species.

But I don't Liam will die, but the war will be over and everything will be alright except for the fact of me living in torture not just for losing my mate but also for being one of the reasons for his death.

Lost in my thoughts I was untill Sibel spoke again, "Elisabeth! Where are you?"

Lost in words I was that I couldn't remember what were we talking about, so all I said was "what?"

"The vision, what was the vision about?" She reminded me of what we were talking about.

"Eh… The vision… Oh yeah! Well, Queen Sophia showed up in my dream. She was crying so hard while holding a faceless dead man's body. In front of her was the woman from the dream before, she was holding a baby no more. Instead, there was a man by her side, a man who was facing the wall. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see his face.

The face of the faceless man between her hands finally showed up. The dead body belongs to my mate, to Liam." I lied while telling the truth.

I still need time to think about my upcoming move, I don't want to mess things up.
