The Curse of Garrulousness

Lilith's POV

Saishi's curious eyes were looking at me intensely as I was preparing myself so that I could show him why I couldn't tell him anything about the contract. It was the best way to make him understand.

I wasn't scared or anything, but it still requires a bit of courage for what I was going to do. The only reason I never even tried to tell him was because of this only. He was staring at me with narrowed eyes.

I sat upand took a deep breath as I touched my neck with my right hand. Looking towards him, I started, "So the real reason I can't tell you is because I've been cas...te… cu…!!!"

Before I could finish, a sharp pain pierced through my neck as my grip tightened. My nails were digging into my skin. The pain was excruciating. My vision became bright for that instance as tinnitus rang in my ear.
