"I am sorry Nora! It's all because of me that our daughter is dead, that you had a rough life.. it's all because of me" he cried with Nora. Both of their cried mixed together, "I am sorry!" Justin kept on muttering. Nora looked up with her blue-grey eyes, "You were such a gentleman Justin. People used to look up at you.. they are respected you... Loved you. What happened?" She asked one question that had been bugging her ever since he became her tormentor.
"Envy.. it took over me. The rage controlled me. The hatred became my fuel. When I felt my mate die, something inside me died as well.. but that doesn't justify for everything I did.. I am sorry!" He cried on Nora's shoulder.
"Please forgive me!" He cried, begging for her forgiveness.
Nora looked at him skeptically, "Do you really feel sorry?" She asked. Justin nodded his head, "I really am Nora. Believe me, I have nothing to lie about. My happiness came back when I saw our daughter and my mate.." he said with a smile. A smile instantly appeared on Nora's face, "You met your mate?" She asked. Justin smiled, "She is gorgeous!" He exclaimed causing Nora to chuckle.
"Fiona has my smile" Justin said after a few seconds of silence. Nora nodded her head, "She does" she cried thinking about her beautiful princess. She looked intently into Justin's eyes, "I forgive you Justin" she said with a smile.
A wide smile pasted on Justin's face and tears gathered in his eyes, "Really?" He asked in disbelief, "Really" she replied. Justin cried, "I am again so sorry for trying to ruin your life, it's all because of her.." he said Nora snapped her attention at him.
"Her? Who her?" She asked as her heart hammered in her chest.
Before he could reply he chocked on air, the 24 hours was up. Nora didn't want his final breath to be struggled, "It's okay Justin. Let it go everything will be alright" her angelic voice came Justin looked at her with a smiled as his sight got hazy. He mouthed 'i love you' to her and fell limp in her arms.
Nora had organised a proper burial for Justin, only friends and family were invited. Nora had requested everyone to speak nothing but good about the dead. It was a beautiful ceremony to say the least.
No matter how wrong a person does they all deserve a chance of a proper goodbye. It's is the most humane thing to do. And she did. No matter what he did to her and many others, he is going to suffer in hell anyway. The least she could do was give him a bit of love from the living world.
Nora's POV
I was surrounded by dark, "Hello?" I called out walking aimlessly, "Hello?? Is anybody here?" I asked. My heart beat picked up it's pace when I heard a voice groaning in pain, "Who is there?" I asked as I cautiously approached to the source of the sound.
"Nora? Nora, help! Help me Nora!" Dad Earl's voice called out. I started running towards dad, "Dad!! What happened?" I cried, dad was tied to a tree all bloodied. I could clearly see him but the faster I ran the further he went.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT NORA! YOU COULD HAVE SAVED US!!" He yelled making me stop in my tracks, "Wh-what are you talking about?" I gasp in horror when I looked closely.
Everyone was dead, they all were hanging from the tree branches with a rope wrapped around their neck. Papa Amell, mom, Arora, Ariana, Andrew, Jacob, Stephan, Oliver, Clark, Gina, my little Lilly and Adrian and Sebastian.
Their place blue faces and bloodied body showed the struggle they had, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!! YOU KILLED THEM ALL!!" he shouted crying at me.
"I-I didn't do anything dad!! I DIDN'T KILL THEM!!" I shouted collapsing on the ground.
"YOU MURDERER!! YOU KILLED THEM, YOU KILLED YOUR OWN FAMILY!! YOU'RE A FUCKING HEX, YOU DESTROY EVERYONE!" He yelled as his head blasted open. A shrilling scream automatically left my mouth.
"Hey! Hey Nora! You okay baby?" Sebastian's voice called out, my eyes shot open and Sebastian's worried face came to my view , "You're okay. You're okay. You're okay. You're okay" I cried feeling his warm skin under my fingertips and kissed his lips.
"Yes I am fine love. It was just a dream, I am alright!" He said and hugged me, rocking me in his arms, "It's okay babe, it was all just a dream" he said softly.
For weeks I have been having such nightmares. For weeks I have been seeing my family die in various ways. Paranoia is not enough to determine my mental state. This is not right, something is wrong very wrong. From the time I got to know about this woman, I feel like my fear has taken a big toll on me.
Sebastian started humming a song to me and before I know it, I was deep asleep.
The next morning I woke up to mom's famous cinnamon rolls, after getting freshened up I headed downstairs, "Morning sweetie" mom greeted me and passed a cup of tea, "Morning mom, where is everyone?" I asked groggily.
