Chapter 23

Vicnan

Eyes like mine. My eyes fell on the beautiful angel sitting next to me with her head resting on my shoulder. she was fast asleep. why did she insist on watching a movie when she was this tired?

Eyes Like mine, Silver hair. I thought about what she told me earlier. There was only one person with those characteristics. Asura, my twin brother. He found her, he got to her before I could get to him and she felt it, she felt the same connection. things haven't changed. I swear if he hurts her I will show no mercy.

" My lord " I heard Relic's call in my head, he sounded impatient

" What is the matter?" I responded.

" I found a witch " he broke and my heart sank from hearing this, I didn't expect him to find one so fast " A witch who can break the bond "

" Oh... ammm...." out of words " Ummm... prepare for a meeting, I will be at the castle as soon as clarify something urgent " I instructed

" There will be a little..... problem there My Lord "

" Why is so? " confused. if Cleopatra was to see me right now, talking to myself, she would call me crazy. This mind-linking always makes someone appear crazy but I didn't mind when I am around others but with My Bonnie, no man wants to look crazy in front of his woman.

" She is located at..." his words made my heart drop completely. why there of all the places. The Phantom Grove. terrible memories lived in that place. why would a witch be in such a place?

''understood'' I spoke in a low tone. The phantom grove. My eyes fell on Cleopatra, that was the place she was killed. She died for me. I moved her head away from my shoulder so I can lift her off the couch. Her in my arms, I took her to the bedroom, lay her on the bed and sat beside her. I watch her sleep, listening to her soft breath which flowed like a melody. I miss her, I miss her so much. I want her In my arms. I want her in my arms again but I can't have her, I can't have her to protect her.

          Unable to resist, I reach for her face and brush her hair away. My fingers explored her delicate skin then they reached her lips. Her lovely pink lips '' I have to protect you bonnie, I need to ''

          The next morning I heard her bedroom door, immediately my eyes opened to see her walking out of the room with a rob in her hands. She flinch at the sight of me, not expecting my presence '' Yo...you didn't. I mean, you slept here? ''

    '' yeah '' I noticed the shock and confusion in her eyes

    '' why? ''

    '' You know, just to make sure you are alright, safe ''

    '' safe? '' confusion in her tone '' to keep me safe? '' I nodded '' for what ''

    '' you know'' I didn't know how to respond, why is asking so many questions anyway? Can't she just go by I stayed to protect her, must she seek further explanation '' Last night I sensed something dangerous in the area that is why I stayed behind '' I lied and I knew she could tell

    '' Really? ''

    '' yeah '' giving me that look

    '' are you lying to me Vicnan? '' she crossed her arms with an eyebrow raised. What is she? An investigator or what. I rolled my eyes at her, after all, what can she do if she knows I am lying

    '' Yes. Yes, I am. I didn't sense anything, I just stayed to watch over you, make sure you are alright, is something wrong with that ''

    '' oh.. so you are saying you were concerned about me ? '' holding her smile 

    '' Yes, I was. Did I do wrong? ''

    '' No. no, you did. I like the thought of that '' she blushed and ran into the toilet and damn she is cute. She opens the toilet door again and popped her head out '' By the way, good morning '' with that she shut the door and I found myself smiling. It is a good morning indeed.

          I sat alone in the seating room. Listening to the running water in the bathroom, I may not be in the bathroom with her but I hear every single thing like I was inside with her, which made me wish that I was, it would be a wonderful sight.

          In about 30 minutes she came out wearing only her robe. She flinch at the sight of me. Holy shit, wet hair, long legs, hot. She looked stunning and I am certain she would be more stunning if she took off that robe '' yo... you are still here ?''

    '' where would I be ?'' with an eyebrow raised, trying my best not to stare at her perfection '' I am going to the hospital with you today '' I got her lost for a few seconds, then it hit her

    '' Oh yeah... yeah... mmmm'' confused '' I... I should get ready '' she ran off into her bedroom '' 

    '' cute '' whispered under my breath

          we took the bus to the hospital and it was a terrible experience, one I didn't want to experience again, I mean how do humans survive sure torture? We reached the hospital and Cleopatra stopped me '' what is it? '' I asked looking down at the lady before me in total confusion      

    '' you are not going to follow me around are you? '' curiosity in her tone. That was my initial plan but now she asked and I thought about it, it wasn't a really good plan

    '' n....ooo? '' my response came out more like a question '' Don't flutter yourself ''

    '' Thank goodness. I got scared that, that was your plan because I just got this job and I can't risk making mistakes ''

    '' so you are sending me away ? '' almost disappointed

    '' No, I am not. I am trying to say you shouldn't hang around me. Just stick around somewhere and besides, you don't have to be close to watch me, you are good at spying anyways'' she marked. Referring to that day at the park

    '' hey '' I felt offended

    '' see you later '' smiles, and with that, she walked into the building leaving me alone.

    '' wow '' speechless '' and she claims to like me '' rolling my eyes

          I followed her invisibly throughout the day. Damn, she was busy and didn't get time to rest. I got to see the man dog she spoke of and how he treated her, it provoked me to the level where I wanted to rip his heart off. I didn't have issues with the way he treated the others but not my Bonnie. If I get involved, Cleopatra may get upset so I decided to remain silent about it after all I can always deal with him later.

          Cleopatra had just walked out of the OR. She seemed exhausted. I wanted to walk up to her, carry her in my arms and take her out of here. To somewhere far where she can relax but she seemed to be enjoying the stress. Humans are complicated. She walks the quiet hall weakly, lifts her hand and took off her nose mask. Then I sensed it. That scent that no one else has, that smell that only one person has

    '' Doctor Cleopatra!! '' a voice called

    '' oh, '' she stops at her track and a man ran up to her smiling. Does eyes, hair colour, that familiar smile, familiar face. It was him, Asura. He has returned

    '' hello '' still carrying that charming smile. That smile that I have known for over a thousand years 

    '' Doctor Noah '' she gave a soft wave '' Hi''

    '' how are you? ''

    '' good '' she smiled at him. Asura knew I was present, I noticed from the corner of his eyes the way his smile changed into a mocking one. '' what about you... you look... tired ''

    '' I would say the same for you doctor Cleopatra. just came out of surgery?'' She nodded in response'' I see. You better get a good rest ''

    '' I will. You should too ''

    '' I will see you around ''

    '' sure thing '' With that she walks away leaving him alone in the hallway. Asura watched silently as she walked away until she faded. He put his hands in his jacket pocket and slowly turn around, in my direction, carrying that smile. I may be invisible to the human eyes but he saw me clearly from where I stood.

          Boiling in Rage, at a speed beyond calculation I grabbed him, and vanished out of the building, we both appeared at the rooftop of the hospital building. Eyes locked, we stared deep into each other eyes. I saw the hatred and anger in his eyes and I knew he was mine. He could stab each other right that instant. He gave me that smile, that welcoming warm smile he had always had since he was little and only I know the evilness behind them. The main reason I use to like him a lot. A perfect evil partner until things got messed up or will I say, I messed things up

    '' Hello brother '' he said
