Dying Melissa

LORD ALLEN'S POINT OF VIEW

I had told her what she wanted to hear...my conscience had been pricking me ever since she returned to lilies to take back her throne...I felt relieved... I've been ruleing the three lands and lilies and I was beginning to wear out ...I didn't focus anymore... having too many responsibilities... taking decisions on my own in matters arising in these lands....pween! finally...I couldn't explain the relieve I got only seeing her back... although I played a bigger part in bringing her back...I had to penetrate her dreams...I had to show her her power...I had to snatch her from Belinda and bring her back to where she belongs...not like I like her or pity her ..it's just that ..the ring is dying and so is she and if that happens all the flowers would fade ...the lake would dry...and that would also mean the end of the three lands... slowly everyone and everything will fade... and these worlds would no longer exist and I can't afford to let that happen...this plague of drought... famine and slow death.

but what is up with her? isn't she supposed to be happy? isn't she supposed to...why does she look so troubled like this news was so bad? oh god....I wish my powers as the lord supreme could activate now...if only she wasn't the damsel..if only she was a mere blood sucking deity...why isn't she talking....the silence between us is killing me and I honestly can't bare this ...ohh god...what should I do?...I have to end this...what should I say?... I tried to afford her gaze only to notice she was lost in her own world...'talk to me Melissa' I started calling to her in my mind...and as if that worked and she heard me ....she immediately looked up at me.

Melissa"..."

but she dropped her gaze immediately...I subconsciously reached out to her with my hand but immediately retreated.....I bit my lower lips as I contemplated if I should say something.....

"Melissa...we should act fast"I managed to say something and she snapped to look at me like she didn't expect me to say a Damm thing and just expected me to stay quiet till she is willing to spill what it is that was bothering her. I avoided her gaze so I can easily continue what it is I was saying to avoid the boredom .

"the ring is rusty now..."I continued

"why do you care Allen?"was what she asked me...

Allen"....."

was this what she was thinking all this while.?..I felt like facepalm myself but that was not an option...to show this damsel I felt fucked up right now...to show her I was somewhat desperate...what should I say to her? I know exactly why that question had popped Into her mind...we are mortal enemies...it was the obvious...but now? was he really getting her pride in the way? ...was she putting her pride here first above the issues of the land?.. didn't she care about lilies?

"Allen!" I heard her call to me and I snapped out of the soliloquy in my head while I subconsciously stared at her in the eye.....

"I didn't expect that to be you first question little fish"I retorted...she knapped her palm on the table and stood up immediately making a loud sound but I wasn't startled...I realized I was testing her patience and she seemed to have lost every bit of it she had left...but with that she fell as if fainting and like her strength disappeared just the way the sound did after a second...I reached out for her In the speed of lightening...I was already across the long table and I held her in my arms....her brown eyes had turnned white... and it seemed she was dying faster than I thought....I carried her before anyone else could see that the damsel was dying and I rushed her back into her fairy like room and placed her on the bed....she looked up at me through those palely white eyes .....there was still anger evident in those dying eyes of hers...

I wanted to say I'm sorry but I knew this wasn't what she wanted...I wanted to say sorry so peace could reign between us but this isn't what was required of me...but I guess she was dying faster than the ring...was it because of the soul bond I broke?.... was it taking it's turn on her? but she was the higher power compared to princess Natasha...or had I underestimated Natasha so that she sucked in Melissa's life ..or was it because the ring bearer was her mother?

I straightened up as I stared back into her eyes...

"I can't get the ring without you Melissa...but I'd do my best ....I'd see that melody gets to you"was what I said and I turned to leave.,.... but just before I could ...I heard a faint voice echo through the room and reached my ear...I turned to look at the white eyed damsel and I was right

"it's your fault Allen...I lost my ring because of you" was what she said...

oh god! was she really saying this on her dying bed? of all things to think...why ?...

"really?" I pinched the flesh between my brows and scrubed my hands through my hair ...

she only turned to the other wall of the room and closed her eyes to sleep...that was enough to say my welcome had been over stayed so I turned and exited the room
