My reunion with Elora was the best thing to ever occur in my life, I've never felt this happy in a very long time!
We even started planning a dream cafe!
Elora's aunt too has to be the second best mother in the world, even though Elora said she didn't have kids, she treated us like we were her flesh and blood. And soon enough, my memories of my tragic love became very vague.
Our dream cafe was set in motion, she bought a place in the City of High Elves, a very beautiful place next to the sea. I was in charge of decoration and confectionaries! The months rolled by and the cafe slowly started coming together. Life was beautiful.
Until, I started getting spam emails. It started small but with time it increased, then text messages and calls from private numbers. I knew who it was.
I couldn't tell Elora, I wasn't scared or anything, I just couldn't tell her.
I wish I did though. I really wish I did.
I was busy making jellyfish decorations with compact disks when I realized I was out of glue. I quickly grabbed my coat and went to the nearest stationery store.
On my way back, I began to perceive foreign energy. It was very faint but it was there lingering, a chill ran down my spine. I was being watched.
I walked faster and took out my phone to call Elora but the strangest thing happened.
The once bumpy street road was suddenly smooth and carpeted beneath my feet.
Illusion magic?
No
Teleportation!
"My love"
I froze, the whole room was filled with his energy, I knew this voice. I knew the owner of this voice.
My phone clattered unto the ground as I was pushed back into a bed
"What is this? Get off me!"
I began to hit him, anger and pain fueling me.
"My love I'm sorry"
His hands held mine down as he brought his face close to mine, I could smell alcohol on him
"Just let go of me!"
He mumbled something and began trailing kisses up my neck, the spots began to burn up. I began to burn up.
Fear began to creep in
"Have you lost it!, you haven't seen me in years and this is the appropriate way you can think of to approach me?"
I leaned forward and bit his shoulder, his grip on me relaxed, I used this opportunity to kick him as hard as I could.
I began feeling the floor for my phone, I found it but Faelan kicked it away before I could grab it. He yanked me up by my hair
"Ah! Let go you bastard!"
"You've always been so stubborn"
He pressed my face into his crotch, his bulge...
I finally understood what was going on
"Faelan" I called out,
"Yes love"
"Please let me go"
"Aw, I'm sorry love"
He yanked my hair again making me face up
"Fuck, I missed your face...so much"
His hands stroked my cheeks and pressed my lips
"Didn't you miss me? Dream?"
He pulled me up and threw me onto the bed, my scalp throbbing and head dizzy. The bed dipped and I was pulled to him.
I can't remember what happened next, all I know was I was thrown into the very depth of the sea.
I was walking, each step I took sent flames of pain through my body. The scorching pain burned and grew more until I was once again in the soothing calm of the sea.
Faelan.
What he did to me.
If someone told me he was capable of such a thing, I would laugh and call them a fool.
Here I am, bathed in shame and pain.
Unable to speak of the cruelty of my ex-lover of which I had witnessed first hand.
Elora took it upon herself to find him and bring him to face the law but I couldn't bring myself to tell her.
So I wallowed in self pity and I began to hate.
The messages and emails didn't stop. In fact they doubled.
It was strenuous dealing with them and putting up a strong front so Elora would drop the search.
It did.
Things started going back to normsl, Elora met a nice aqua elf. Iun is his name.
A gentleman I must say.
We continued working on the cafe again.
I couldn't move.
I prayed the ground would just open up and swallow me whole.
I desperately prayed.
I couldn't stop shaking and there he stood looking totally unfazed like he hadn't don le anything.
The chair on which I sat on moments ago toppled over drawing Elora's attention.
She came rushing over and asking me questions but her voice was muffled to me.
Like all my senses had dulled and were all zeroed in on the elf before me.
I heard a third voice join in, Faelan stuttered before hurriedly leaving and then I felt like I could breathe a bit more.
A cool hand pressed against my forehead and all the bad feelings dissipated, I felt light and sleepy.
By the time I woke up again, Elora was losing herself. I was able to stop her in time. She looked like she had been crying.
Did Faelan come back and tell her everything?
"Will you...tell me everything...from the beginning...please?"
Shame covered me in it's ugly cloak. I nodded.
I guess it was high time I tell her.
"Just don't whatever the fuck that was again"
I hugged her as tight as I could. She's all I have left.
And I hope she never leaves me.
