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 8: Lies and Blood

Mary-Allison

Out of the tunnel, out onto the broken slate and ashen stained columns. I’m out of breath, Christopher dragged me through the tunnel without me even pulling out my torch. He must come here more often than he lets on—There’s probably a lot that he doesn’t let on about. Who is he? I’ve spent two full days with him and I’m not any closer to knowing that answer than when I first saw him on the ferry.

“You know your way to the castle from here, yeah?”

Um, what?

“You’re not coming with me?”

Christopher feels so far away even though he hasn’t moved from my side. I thought we were connecting—Did he just want to screw me… no, I don’t believe that’s it, he didn’t even finish. Something happened back there, like when those strange noises were calling me earlier in the day. Maybe he hears them too?

“Christopher, you can tell me what’s wrong—I promise I won’t judge. I’m a very open person.”

“Except you’re not, Mary.”
