19. I've been watching you

"The necklace , I remember it."

"You remember necklace and not me?"

"What does it mean?"

"You gave it to me. For my first birthday we celebrated together."

"I thought he did not have any magical abilities. Although I have never seen it during the time we were together."

-Because he had stolen it from me. More precisely after the opening of the portal when we were fighting.

"Where is he now?"

"He escaped. Thankfully we have Dr. Peter Hood. He and your schoolmate escaped."

"Step. He was the doctor's nephew."

"He is not a danger. He is a coward who is trying to make his uncle proud."

"I did not expect it from him.He knew it all the time and pretended to be my friend. And I as an idiot who did not understand."

"It is not your fault."

"Gide."

"Tell me." He smiled, his eyes brightening.

"There are many new tattoos on your body since the last time I saw you. That is, in your arms, that I have not seen you in other parts of the body." I lowered my voice almost to sigh lowering my eyes when I realized what I had said.

"Your cheeks flushed." He laughed touching my cheeks.

"Answer me." I spoke without looking him in the eye with my head sideways.

"What was the question?" He grabbed my jaw lightly as he turned my head to face him.

"Tattoos have been added, why?"

"To cover the wounds." This time it was he who looked away.

"That night you had a new tatoo, was it a wound what happened?"

"I got in a fight with some bastards who crossed the veil."

"Do you have many wounds?" I looked at him like a lost cat and he saw me laughing and stroking my hair.

"Don't look at me like that."

"Like what?"

"Like you are looking at me now. Because I can not stand to be away from you. I have had quite a hard time so far."

"So you followed me, did you observe me?"

"Always since that night."

"What about the feeling I had, that I knew I was being watched was part of the magic spell?"

"You were supposed to forget me, not to feel anything for me. I do not know why you felt me, why you realized I was there."

"Franklin was talking about the memory you erased from me, which could be restored by the one who erased it."

"Yes. About the memories of the past life, I told you that you left, I do not know what happened to you. But we will try to regain your skills and maybe then remember something."

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"All this condition, I caused you. I resurrected you and abandoned you when I accused you of being the one who abandoned me. I do not know what kind of person I was, I must have been selfish, you suffered all the consequences of my actions, and you are still suffering."

"The Iden I knew would have never left me. We do not know what happened, why you fled. You should not blame yourself when we do not know what happened."
