The Cursed ONes

What is love to an immortal? Long stretches of life can be lonely, love can be forgotten, and you always outlive everyone you meet—So what’s the point? Sometimes all you want to do is give up—But that’s difficult when you can’t die. Her hand is warm. Her fingers interlace with mine. A squeeze. Our eyes melt into each other. This is more than both of us are capable of understanding. The curse that trapped us in this realm doesn’t seem so bad. From this point, I never want a day without Mary by my side. We saved each other in more ways than one. From despair, love is born. - On Belzaar, wishes become curses. Mary will face tough decisions, blood-thirsty vampires, bitter ghosts, and the witches who cursed the dead island. But Mary’s toughest battle might be confronting an emotion she swore died centuries ago, love. - "The Cursed Ones" is the original work of B.W.P and eGlobal signed author.

Chapter 23: This Is Who I Am

Present

Christopher Dawson

I add more wood to the fire and poke it—Embers rise, stinging my eyes. Mary lays on a fur rug closest to the fire. She’s entranced by the rising flames. ‘Immortal.’ Mary is immortal. Allison had children with someone, and those children had more children, and so on. And here I am, in a room with one of those descendants. ‘Are they all immortal?’ Did having a new family help Allison move past her old one?

The castle was constructed way before God’s Shadow arrived on the shores of Belzaar. Its origins are unknown, but it was taken over quickly. Allison’s people didn’t use it for much, saying it bore nothing but evil. So, it made sense God’s Shadow would want to call it home.

Maybe the castle reminded the witches of the kings who persecuted them. Or the church that pursued them. Either way, the castle has always been here. And this moment plays back like a memory, a movie on repeat. ‘Why did Allison leave me?’

“So, just how old are you, Christopher?”
