Chapter 64: Time

Amy’s pov

That was a spell no doubt, I couldn’t move or say anything. But I could hear it all, I heard as Reene said her goodbyes to my brother.

Why did she do this?

Why did she put this all on herself?

Why did she have to take on so much responsibility to herself?

It feels like Eliza all over again, although I wasn’t particularly close with Eliza it feels like that.

She was also full of life like Reene was, Reene is one of a kind of course but the two are really similar.

They were both witches who were willing to sacrifice themselves for a Lycan.

Lycans have always been known and feared as monsters, my brother was the worst monster of them all.

I think even for a moment I was, we spent so much time trying to survive.

So much time trying to live that we even forgot that living isn’t all about surviving.

As for me I carried around the guilt of being a survivor even after I killed my own mother.

She was going to kill them all, I loved her more than anything, but they were my brothers.

As a young girl I always wished to play with them, to sit down and just talk to them.

I had to watch their backs all my life, watching them fighting for us and protecting us.

They always seemed to be protecting me, so I wanted to protect them.

And now here I am helpless again, laying on my back with nothing to do.

I cant even save the one person my brother loves more than anything.

If she does die, if he doesn’t stop them then how will he live?

Will he go back to being that monster that was feared or into something else?

Shortly after that I heard a voice of a man, he is obviously an immortal witch.

Is he the one that they were talking about?

The same man that spoke about Reene being his bride.

That man who scared my brother to death, I know he acted all strong, but I could see it in his eyes.

When he came back I could see that he was scared, the same look he always had when we were being abused by my father.

The look that told me that he wanted to protect us but didn’t know how.

That’s exactly the look the look even our older brother used to have.

The look that said I am so sorry I couldn’t protect you at all.

I could hear his voice as he was making fun of my brother.

They are going to kill both of them, “If you love each other that much then you should die together don’t you think?” I heard him ask.

I am guessing brother is still under Reene’s spell which is why he wasn’t responding.

“I really cant believe that someone like you took away something that is mine. Reene’s standards really surprised me, anyways I will undo the spell. See you at the location” he said.

“Why are you doing this? Why are you going after us?” I heard brother ask him.

“Does it matter? I could say it was on a whim, I could say that I was forced to do this.

I could say that it is for peace, I could say that its for war.

Does it matter?

The intentions wont matter after this, but the outcome.

When you two die I will finally get everything I always wanted” he answered.

“What is it that you want?” my brother asked him.

Hell, I think everyone who can hear their conversation wants to know the reason.

What is it that this man wants?

Why come out of the woodwork now?

He has been a ghost all along then why now?

And that too why Reene?

There are so many beautiful women in this world.

Who are supernatural beings and also humans.

Why out of all the people does it have to be Reene?

Why did it have to be her?

I heard footsteps and I guess brother is leaving and going after Reene.

After that it was quiet, what do they call it?

The calmness before the storm, it felt like that.

As if a great storm is coming our way and all we can do is to barricade ourselves and hope we will be saved from it.

I could now move again, there was a knock on the door, and I could even get up and opened the door.

“You heard everything right? Reene, and that man also came here” Alexa said with tears in her eyes.

I also had tears in my eyes, actually I cried and stopped and even cried some more.

Feelings useless is not a good feeling at all.

“I heard everything; we need to do something” I said.

We were about to head out when we all caught the scent of blood.

And then my brother’s scent as well, he suddenly appeared.

He was covered in blood and holding Reene, her heart wasn’t beating at all.

I could hear my brother’s sobs as he was coming towards us.

“No, no, please tell me it isn’t true” Alexa said, and Sean hugged her.

I looked at my brother, he looked so broken and as much as I want to cry I couldn’t.

I just held in my tears, if we all break down then who is going to take care of everyone?

Brother sat down with her still in his arms, a knife on her heart.

He was just staring at her, as if she would come back to life he did so long enough.

I don’t even know if he could even see her with the tears in his eyes, they probably were blocking his view.

“I couldn’t save her, she died right in front of my eyes” he spoke up.

His voice had so much pain in it, he even seemed to be having a hard time just speaking.

I sat next to them, even when covered in blood Reene still looks like an angel.

“How did she do it? how did she die but you are still here? how did she unlink herself from you?” I had to ask, and he smiled.

A smile that had so much pain, “I don’t know how she did it, but she did do it.

I was ready to die with her, why couldn’t I die with her?” he asked and started sobbing uncontrollably.

My brother who never cried, In just a year he managed to cry tears of joy and now tears of great sorrow

. “It’s my fault, my love killed her.

I am the reason she died” he said, and I shook my head.

“Brother that’s not true, she did it so you could live. All she ever wanted for you was for you to live” I said, and he shook his head.

“You don’t understand Amy, that witch cursed me when she locked me up” he said, and I frowned.

“She said that I will find someone whom I love, and they will die.

Now because of that curse I have to live only god knows how long without her.

Don’t you get it, this immortality of mine has become nothing but a curse” he said and started crying.

If someone had told me that they are from the future and they saw my brother cry I would have laughed in their faces.

But here he is in front of me, bawling his eyes out like a child.

After hours he got up and we took Reene to the clinic and got her cleaned and into clean clothes.

“We will have her funeral later on; you should go and get changed. You are covered in blood” Alexa said to Logan.

He just walked away, there was no life in his eyes, even the way he looks seemed lifeless.

How will my brother live without?

I went to his room after some time and found him sitting on the bed.

He was just looking at a wall, staring into space I believe.

“I never told her that I could sing and even play the guitar. I don’t know why but it felt like something embarrassing to say to her” he said and then paused.

“Now I wish I should have told her everything,

I should have told her all the embarrassing things.

All the sad things I carried in my heart, all the silly things that came to mind” he said.

There was a knock on the door and Sean came in carrying a few envelopes.

“She wrote a letter for everything; this is yours and it even has a gift” he said giving them to my brother.

He opened the gift and there was small not inside.

“I wish we had more time” it simply said.

There was a watch inside and he just started crying again.

how do I comfort someone who just lost their one true?

Where do I even start?
