Chapter 3.5

-Minerva-

'Yes... don't you believe me?' I rolled my eyes and pulls down his wrists.

'If I am only in the condition to teleport, I had left you already. Let me go.' He didn't. He held my hand and stare at me. 'Don't be childish, let me go.' I now demand him. He shook his head.

'Please... don't leave yet... just this day.'

'No. I had enough.' I gripped his hand and pull it from my other hand. He kneels and hugged my waist. He pressed his face on my stomach. I rolled my eyes. He's pathetic and out of his mind. I tried to push him. 'Get up!'

'No, I am not going to get up until you tell me that you are not leaving yet. Just give me at least until four in the afternoon.'

'I refuse.'

'Okay... let's play video games then if I won trice you will stay and if you won trice you can leave.'

Video games? Is he crazy or just insane? I don't play that bullshit! But I had played some video games with my brother when we were just little then I never play that thing again.

'I don't play that shit.' He pulls his head to face me.

'Hey, it's not shit. It's a great game that will make your mind even sharper.' I rolled my eyes again and scoff.

'Really? Well, I don't give a sh-t about it. So, let me go before I had done something to you.'

'Like?' he grins playfully. What is he thinking exactly why he is grinning like that?

'Like, tying you in the middle of the woods upside down on the tree. Or...' I bent down moving my face closer to him. 'I will curse you to never see me again.'

'Really? If you curse me to never see you again you're the one who will suffer. Am I right?' he was perfectly right.

I will suffer on not seeing him... wait for what? No! I will suffer because I had shown to the Goddess and God of love that I had rejected my mate. 'So...' he stood and took my left hand with his right hand. I feel something that is tying on our hands. And there's a spell that makes us still holding each other's hand.

'At least I have someone with me.' He winks. Dina... Dina made this. I can't break the spell because she is the one who put it on us. Whenever I pull my intertwined hand to him I was pulling too his hand together with me.

'Dina!' I call. Yves smacks on my cheek and we walk to the kitchen. His sister Yhana is preparing breakfast for us.

'Hi, Good morning...' she greets and stopped when she saw me. She scanned her eyes all over me 'Wow... is that the dress that I had bought for you? Did you remake it?' she asked fascinated.

'Yes...'

'Oh... that is so beautiful! Yves told me to buy dresses that are plains.' She said with twinkling eyes. I grimace at Yves.

'I thought you don't have a fashion in clothes that's what HE told me.'

She laughs at me. 'No, silly... he just dared me that you are a great dressmaker.' I frowned at Yves who is guilty. I twisted his arm to his back then I kicked him until he had kneeled on the floor.

'Ow!' he squeals. 'I'm sorry, mate... let me go, please.' I let his arm go but still, we are holding hands together.

We ate breakfast with one hand. I, using my right hand while he is using his left hand. He was left handler that's why he's used to it. It was awkward that his sister is glancing at our hands.

'Can't resist each other?' she asked teasingly.

'Yes, he asked an enchantress to lock his hand with mine.' I said.

'Ohw... how romantic...' she admires. Just so she knows... it's not romantic. It was an obsession and ludicrous.

Dina and Terence had shown up in the kitchen. She was wearing his shirt and he was shirtless in this cold morning. I glare at Dina. She even furrows in confusion.

'Did you make this?' I asked pulling up our hand.

'Make what? You holding hands together?' she laughs. Ah, she didn't know.

'You didn't put a spell between us, right?'

'What? Why the hell would I do that? You will kill me if I did.' She said chuckling while slicing bread. I close my eyes and breathe. It was Zoë. Yves is just grinning.

We just sat on the sofa in front of the chimney while watching some show on the TV. I lean on the sofa with a sigh. This is boring... I wanted to go home literally. I sighed again for 6th time. What if I try to teleport? No, they will be here in 30 minutes.

'Min.... there's a call from Gabriel. He said that they had stranded on the road. The storm is strong so they have to stop.'

'Tell him to bring a bulldozer and sent it here.' I command her. She talks on the phone.

'Min... he said that it will take another few hours to get here. There's a complication on the road.'

'Damn! Just tell them to get me here ASAP! They are immortals for fucking sake!' Yes, I had cursed. I know it is very un-ladylike but damn I am mad. I need to let go of all of this anger.

'Yes, damn it! Just don't curse at me!' she yells back. I sighed and I throw an orange fire to the chimney that makes everyone startle.

'Woah! You know, Zoë does that sometimes.' He said. I nudge his ribs that make him flinch. My hand and fingers are numb. I need to get off of this thing. 'You need to chill, okay?' he stood pulling me up. I stood too then he twisted me to right his arm and he was behind me. Then he sat and pulls me down to sit on his lap. I tried to get off but he wrapped his left arm.

I breathe and count ten to zero. There is a prayer to revise the spell. I have to think of the spell. I had read it in my mother's book but I hadn't tried it yet. I need to think about it. I keep tapping taping my left foot on the floor. That's my mannerism when I am thinking deep. Okay, should I try to teleport in front of Zoë and tell her to break the spell?

I stood and pull him. I close my eyes and try to teleport but we end up falling on the floor. Ow! That hurts but he was hurt more. I was on top of him.

'Seriously? Why won't you just wait for them?' he scowls at me. But I ignore him and stood pulling him up. I close my eyes and breathe. We end up outside where the kids are playing. We fall on the ground full of snow. 'Ow!' he complains.

I sighed and just lay on the snow. It was freezing, and the cold is sinking through my dress. I close my eyes and let the snowflake falls on my face.

'My head is aching... also my body loses energy.' He complained

I also lose my energy and more drained than him. And I was more affected than him. I am the one who is teleporting, and he was just a passenger. I teleport to the closer, and we fall on the carpeted floor, and I don't know where. My senses become unconscious, and I don't know what happened.
