19 Chapter 16 : Safe Haven

Chapter 16: Safe Heaven

" Deep in her heart, she wasn't sure she deserved to be happy, nor she didn't believe that she was worthy of someone who seemed....normal"

CESIA'S POV

"It's not you! Please stop, Cesia. You don't like the result. Stop. " (Prince Aivan) he said, pleading with me to stop. Who are they, to stop me?

"Kiel... Do something! Please! " (Prince Aivan) pleads to the shocked guy, from the view they've seen.

This moron! Such a nuisance, I will kill you first. I loosen my grip on Thea and Damon (Amara and Aries) and let them fall on the floor. I heard they're gasping for air, breathing freely.

I face the two guys in front of me. The relief was evident in their faces. But, they frowned, when, I compass my hand to drive away from the other guy (Aivan) on the wall. I heard him groan in pain.

I walked towards the left one. I smirked at him. I should start choking him to death, but it turns out he pinned me quickly to the wall. Holding my both hands tightly. I saw his jaw clenched and when I meet his eyes... I grinned.

"Huh, you did-n't want to hu-rt me. Yo-u-r resis-ting...." I uttered.

Why?

"It's because You didn't deserve to be hurt. " He coldly said. He looks me straight in the eyes. I frowned.

I felt the tension around us, lessen... Like myself too slowly getting back to my sanity...

A tear fell from my eyes, that suddenly wiped by his soft thumb. My emotion is now changing, confused...

"I don't want you to lose yourself, from being good. " He looks at me with care.

My anger lessens from his presence...

"I want a true Cesia Aphrodite, who didn't want this. I want her to take control of your body. Not your darkness and hatred. I don't want to feel your regrets, waking up what you've done.. " he said while cupping my face... I sobbed...

My heart beats again...

"Free your mind, heart, and soul from the Pain, My Queen. We're here, You're not lost anymore. " He gently said. He looks closer to me and kissed my forehead, letting me, it will be alright.

I closed my eyes and feel his comfort. The temperature inside the room gets calmer and warm. And I know my darkness self was gone... And I don't want to open my eyes because of the damage I've done...

"Ezekiel... " I whisper with a sobbed. I cried and lean myself to his chest. He embraces me and let his prim hands gently tapping my back.

"I-m sorry... Sorry... I-I hurt them. I didn't know my anger, take control of my body... " This time I let myself cry in vain. Showing my pain and vulnerable side to him.

I hurt my friends. I hurt them, I'm a Monster. It fits me. The way they called me...

"Ssshhh! Everything will be okay. "he whispered.

I'm not ready. Seeing them in pain. My reckless move. I let my pain enveloped me.

"Forget the Hurtful Past, Aphrodite. I know what you've done to them. It's not your fault. " he calmly said... I stiffened.

Does he know?

How?

"Just, Don't mind me.. Okay... But, listen... " he said while still hugging me. I nod like a child. I already calm myself from crying. I feel tired and weak.

"If you keep focusing on what is already lost, then you just drown yourself from the dark, remember that only you can save yourself from misery. " he thoughtfully said. I stop and

absorb what he said.

He's right. But, how?

"Find things that motivate you to keep on living. Divert yourself out of pain. It's normal to feel pain, but not recommended to live in pain. So, keep moving and find your purpose. " Again, my heart melts with this Man. He has a way to comfort me with his words.

I deeply sighed. And unclasp from his hug. I looked at him sincerely. I don't need any words to speak. Just the emotions he has seen in my eyes.

'I'm thankful, you're here. Hopefully, you're always there by my side, while struggling and find my escape in the dark. '

He messes my hair. He smirked.

"Glad, you're now sane," he said.

He looks around and tsked, because of my mess.

I went around my gaze inside the room. The broken glasses, the cracked walls, and ceilings. The closet and table who were falling from the floor and the messy room, that the destruction, I'm doing.

I gasped at the unconscious body of Amara and Aries. Prince Aivan had blood on his head trailing from his face. I cried again.

No.

Did I do this?

Trevor looks at me and wags his head not to blame, myself. I, apologetically, look for Prince Aivan, and he mouthed it's okay, I understand, and give me a relief smile.

I run towards Amara and Aries, lying on the floor.

"Sorry... Sorry... I didn't mean it. " I touch them and feel their pulse.

Thank God! They're still alive. I don't know, what to do If I killed them.

"I make a portal. Let's go to Athens. " Trevor said, he quickly made a portal in the wall.

I help Prince Aivan stand. I'm thankful, I didn't throw him that bad.

"Badass... "Prince Aivan said, grinning.

"So-rry" I truly said.

"Hey, it's okay. " He chuckled.

"I'm fine now. I lift Amara. " Aivan volunteered.

Trevor looked at me. He gestures, his hand that he will carry, Aries. I nod.

"The portal is set to our next destination. We rest there and wait for them to wake up. " Trevor said.

I weakly smile.

"I'll go first. " Aivan suggests. And slowly enters the portal. He looks at me and nods. Slowly, they have gone from our sight.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked.

"Nope. I'll feel weak and tired. Confused and wandering. " I honestly said. I have so many questions about myself, the accident lately, it's not normal.

"We'll figure it out, okay," he assured. I nod and give him a sincere smile.

I saw the golden jewelry box. Oh, I almost forgot the reason why I'm here. I looked for the Amulet and saw it on the floor. I grab and put it inside the box.

'It is my treasure..'

I look at him, with a hanging O on his face. I frowned.

What happened to him?

I shrugged and tell him, I go first. I want to sleep, already.

"I'll go first. Okay? " I said. He's back from his state and nod.

I walked towards the portal, but I stop and look back at him, carrying Aries.

"By the way. Thank you for bringing me again, Ezekiel. " I said. I heard him curse, but turns to whisper.

"Fuck.. I love what she calls me.. " he whispered.

"Hm? Mind if I tell you this? " I asked. And he just nods. Geez.

"I didn't mind you the Prince of Darkness, come from the Underworld. But, I'm glad the Darkness didn't control you and drown you in the abyss. You Have a Heart, Ezekiel. I'm happy about that. " I honestly said and smile. A true smile that he deserves and first to see it.

I turn and heard him said:

"You don't know how long I Suffered in the Darkness. Until I find the Light in my darkest self. My Light... You are My Light, My Queen. .." I saw amusement and happiness in his eyes. How his dark orb eyes, dance with joy. He smiled too, that I never imagined to happen and seen from him.

I slowly step back through the portal while facing him. I don't want this moment to pass. I want to see it until I fall in the dark and reached for its light... I feel my heart in contentment, that only he can make it.

I slowly fade in front of him.

And we both left hanging and dumbfounded. Seeing each other's side.

'He's my comfort '

'My safe-haven.. '
