Chapter 79

"YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING! THE CURSE IS GONE!" both of our eyes widened when we heard Lily's loud cry but what shocked me the most was the gradual turning of some strands of my hair to white.

I immediately distanced myself from Zen. And we just stared at each other. No..no..this is not happening..

We rushed out of Zen's room and my mouth nearly dropped when I saw Seth and Rosh lying there covered in their own blood.

Lily, Caleb and Evan remained standing with the blows on their bodies already severe. two black witches and monsters who would think embargoes were in front of us all.

My knees immediately buckled at what I saw, why didn't they just stop? Why are they still messing around?

"Go! Go! You two go!" Lily released red smoke. We can't just leave them here!

"Just go!" Evan shouted loudly.

"I'll help, you need to go Claret.." Zen interrupted them and released a very thick ice. even if I wanted to help there was nothing I could do, it would be better if I stayed away from Zen this time.

"It's a trap! One of you has left!" Seth shouted loudly. I nodded and was about to run away from the smoke when a witch blocked me.

"Where do you think you're going?" I just backed off. Zen flew ice at it but it only penetrated the witch. How can we defeat them?

"Brother, silence the loud ones.." in an instant, Lily, Caleb and Evan were surrounded by monsters who were unable to help us.

Zen continues to rain ice on a witch, while I start to use my power as well. and as I tried to hit the witch my power only seeped through.

I want to get through the smoke, Zen is more dangerous when the two of us are together. I took a deep breath and placed my glowing hand on the witch again.

I can fight with her! I'm stronger than him. I was relieved when my power caught him and he rose into the air. It's like I'm strangling him with what I'm doing, I press my hands harder at the same time as I tighten my power around his neck.

but I was about to kill the witch when I felt a pinch from my back.

"Claret!" Zen shouted loudly. When I looked at the penetration from behind me it started my tears flowed. It was Zen's Ice.

the vampires laughed as the ice that pierced me slowly melted.

"I was not aiming for you baby.." I completely fell down and I could taste the blood on my lips.

Zen could do nothing but stare at me.

"I know..i know Zen..." I answered weakly while my eyes were getting blurry. And I screamed loudly when the witch also stabbed Zen in his back causing him to vomit his own blood as well.

No no..no..

"Why don't you kiss?" I protested forcefully as they began to push Zen closer to me.

"No..no..please...no..." my tears were falling as they tried to bring Zen closer.

"We'll torture her! We'll torture her!" a witch said loudly.

"No!" Zen said loudly. Zen tried to dominate me, careful not to touch our skins. He assures me that he can protect me from witches.

I had his hands on either side of me as we both stared at each other. I couldn't hear any more voices from the Gazellians.

the witches were pushing Zen towards me.

"No..no..no..no.." I kept trying to shake my head as my eyes blurred.

They're torturing Zen..she was constantly whipping him with Rosh's whip.

"Zen..Zen..Zen.." I don't know what to do. he was getting closer and closer to me. I have no strength left, I can't even see him properly..

"No..no Zen..no..no no baby.."

'claret'

'Zen..'

I'm so sorry baby. With the little distance we have, I can't see you anymore... i can only feel your presence, the pain on my back..I can't even hear baby, I can't hear your voice..' I just bit my lip. I can't even see him anymore, I only feel his presence.

'I can see you Zen..I can see your handsome face..I can see my prince. I see the man I love the most..'

I want you to listen. Promise me to wait for them.. promise me to fulfill the prophecy without me..'

'No..no..what are you talking about? I'll go with you..you promised you won't hurt me anymore..you promised me..i'll join you..i don't care about prophecies anymore..'

'No Claret.. Sartorias needs you more..'

'No..no..Zen..it's you again..it's you again...'

'Listen Claret..listen..I won't last long baby..please listen to me..please..'

'Zen no..'

'Always remember that I will always love you..'

'No! no..please..don't do this to me please..Zen..'

'Claret, I will never forget the first time I tasted your lips, your sweet blood, the first time I saw your beautiful smile, the first time I saw your addictive body, the first time you said 'I love you' and the first time I laid my eyes on you..'

'Zen..' my tears are overflowing in my eyes.

'I don't regret being a determined vampire Claret. You're my blessing, my angel and my beautiful goddess..'

'Zen.. please..

'And I, Prince Zen Lancelot Gazellian. the second prince of Parsua Sartorias, the snow and ice prince of the whole empire of Parsua will forever promise that I will endlessly love you even after my very last breath. I love you so much Claret Cordelia Amor..'

My heart completely broke when I felt Zen's lips on mine.

'Kiss back baby..please kiss back..' with tears in my eyes I responded warmly to Zen's lips. I tried to move my hands to make him feel better and strongly answer his kisses.

Until I finally see the light. His body is glowing..my beloved prince is starting to fade away..

"Zen..zen.." I forced myself to see. I need to see him..I need to see him..

He stroked my hair for the last time which I have never felt before..

"I love you beautiful goddess from the mirror.."

at the same time as Zen disappeared, so did the witches who filled the entire palace with black smoke.

And this night, the man I love left me completely from this cruel world.
