Sadness

"Ameline?"Regor called out my name after a long pause of silence. We're on our way to my new school, as Pierre mentioned earlier.

"Hmmm?"

"What happened between the two of you after I left this morning?"he asked.

Of course Regor had noticed Pierre's indifference when we're having our lunch.

"I think he's offended but he'll get through it." I refused to marry the guy, that was what happened in the backyard.

"What exactly did you tell him, Ameline? Pierre is dangerous when he's mind is closed. You must not provoke him." Regor's serious expression got my attention. I looked at him. His eyes are focused on the road and his lips thinned.

"I refused to seal that old deal, that's what happened Regor."

He suddenly stepped on the break, not caring if we're in the middle of the road. Regor turned to face me. "You rejected the mighty king Pierre?"

He's calling Pierre the mighty king again. "Why are you so surprised about it? Of course I can't marry a person whom I just met. And who wants to be tied at eighteen? And I never said I rejected him." I also think that Pierre was just making fun of me. "And I am sure that man was laughing on his bed now, for throwing that joke on me."

Regor was appalled by my answer. His face turned really grim. "Ameline, he's not the type of a man who jokes around. I thought you already knew how serious and dominant he is when you first met him."

"I'm not scared of him,"I said.

Regor scoffed and said, "Tell it to yourself again when you'd witness his wrath with your own eyes."

"So, you're afraid of him,"I said, voice a bit judgemental.

"No. My respect to that man is great that I can't leave his kingdom. Ameline..."Regor pause for a while to breath. He is anxious. "We have to go back." He starts the car engine again and turned the wheels back.

"Did something happen back home?" Wow! I said the word 'home' like I really belong in Pierre's home.

"Pierre is what happened, Ameline. Let's see if you're still not afraid of him,"he mumbled then hit the gas.

The car tires revolted when Regor hit the breaks. Just a single blink of my eyes, Regor is already outside the car and making his entrance to the mansion.

How the hell did he do that?

I know I can't keep up just by walking so I ran as fast as I could. The living room is empty when I got inside. But voices coming from the second floor could be heard. I climbed up the stairs.

"Oh for the love of the moon! Don't do that to yourself!" A woman's terrified voice echoed in the hallway.

"Leave! All of you!" Pierre's commanding voice forced me stop from moving. It was so powerful that even my head started to ache.

"Bree!"that was Regor's voice.

"He's using his power, Regor. I can't help you now." The woman Bree sobs gently. Then I heard a door opening and slamming it shut.

A petite woman is now staring at me. She looks so grim as she starts walking away from the room and stopped right where I stand frozen.

"This is what happens once destiny is severed,"she said then smiled at me sadly. She walks out without glancing back.

Ignoring the growing headache, I fought against the unseen force. I ran towards the door where Bree exited. I plan to knock but then Pierre's voice stopped me again.

"I command you to leave, Lycan!"

Lycan? Who is Lycan?

"You knew I can't." That was Regor.

I breathe out heavily theb pushed the leaf of the door. As it opened, my eyes couldn't believe at what I have witnessed.

The room is a complete mess like it was flipped and the floor had scratches everywhere. When I looked at Pierre's eyes, I stepped backward. They're completely black. His chest is bleeding rich blood. I saw his bloody fingers clutching against his chest. Did he do ghis to himself?

"Ameline, it is best if you leave now,"Regor ordered. But I am not going to follow him.

I gathered all my strength. "Do you think I can leave now?"I said then stepped inside. It is scary to see Pierre's eyes but I feel that I need to be around him. Yes, they're pitch black eyes and hell, it scared the hell out of me but there's this eerie sadness in the air. I can feel it and my instinct told me that sad feeling came from Pierre.

"Listen to me, Ameline,"Regor said once again. I heard Pierre growled.

I felt the floor shook when he growled. I stated back at Pierre who is also looking at me. This time his eyes has returned to normal but they looked utterly sad.

Why do I have this feeling that I was the reason for his sadness?
