Better or bitter
"The bitter the experiences are, the better the survivors they become"

"There there, don't cry, please. I understand what you are trying to say but don't worry. I won't ask for such type of services. The only thing that I want from you is, to live your life happily and freely. You really don't have to abide by my orders since I won't be ordering you anything. I just want us to be friends and friends help each other in dire times. I want you to become my friend and help me, I too promise you to help you. I will find a way to break this connection so you can be free. Please believe me and don't cry. I am bad at consolation please, don't cry. You don't look cute while crying, now just dry your tears", Severus tried lame ways to console her but nevertheless Desella stopped crying and finally smiled.
"Just forget that bullshit. What freedom inside and not outside. I am sure that some psychotic person made this. He just wanted to play with your emotions, thus he wrote this bull shit."
Desella felt her heart flutter when Severus consoled her. Although he didn't say anything sweet in particular but his encouragement gave her a new vision to look at the bright side of the world.
He was correct.
Happiness is present where there is freedom and freedom is where a person is not bound to any mentality or thought process.
Though she agreed with the last statement that was written on the wall. This world was sure cruel but she totally disagreed with the latter part. Her decision to cross the door was correct.
A person is solely responsible for his decisions, so be it better or bitter, he needs too ripe what he sowed. Similarly, no matter what the world has to offer, be it a sunny day or a wintery night, one needs to cope with it. Just hiding isn't a solution but cowardice.
Clink!
Something inside her clinked.
The shackles were broken and now she truly was free from the trap.
Desella happily smiled and thanked Severus.
"Thanks, Severus for everything you did. Let's become friends and help each other from now on, okay?", She asked sweetly while dimples formed on her cheeks.
"What an adorable girl. Sure Desella lets be friends and yes I forgot to compliment you but you look ferocious when you became savage. I would love to see more of it", Severus teased her and surely it brought a blush on Desella's face.
"I am sorry….v..very so..sorry. I didn't wanted to do it but you threatened me so I was anxious and became angry", Desella blushed and stuttered at same time.
Severus stifled his laugh.
"Ah...no problem. Okay jokes apart but there is one more thing that you should know otherwise we will fall into troubles", Severus said seriously.
Desella became serious when she saw how serious was Severus expression and straightened up.
"The thing is that it's a bit hard to explain your situation or about your existence to anyone so I introduced you as my girlfriend. So, if anyone asks you who you are, just tell him that you are my girlfriend and isn't a native of Reseen. OKAY?"
"WAHT...….T? Girlfriend? Who? Me?", Deseella screamed.
"Yes, you Desella. How else then do I introduce you to someone else? I can't tell them that you are a will. They will all freak out and will kill me for performing taboo art. You do know that I gained curse since I performed a taboo?", Severus asked amusedly.
"Desella was short for words. What more she could say? Severus was right, she couldn't tell people about her secret but she still needed an identity if she was going to live between mortals. "
Hmmm
Severus girlfriend.
Not a bad idea. He is so smart and handsome and many women covet him, wow it a true lottery.
Desella agreed happily but later blushed on her thoughts.
Oh my!
I need to control my excitement otherwise he would see through my act.
Desella tried to ease her expression and shifted the topic." You are right . I need an identity if I am going to live between the mortals. Okay, I will become your girlfriend. Sigh, I am very tired and after eating I am feeling sleepy too. Can I go and get some sleep?"
"Sure, go and have some rest", Severus agreed.
"Sleep tight Desella"
"Yea"
Desella went into her room and crashed on her bed.
She wasn't lying earlier, she was truly exhausted. As soon as she touched the bed she slept.

Noworry came inside after Desella was asleep.
"Is she asleep?"
"Yes"
"Should we talk here or move to some secluded palace? Who knows if she is asleep or not? I still can't believe her completely?"
"Don't worry , I added sleeping powder in her soup so she would be sleeping heavily"
"But still, who knows if sleeping powder works on will or not?"
Severus agreed with noworry.
"Let's move to my room, I will place voice cancellation spell there"
"Sure"
"Okay"
Severus and nowory came inside Severus' room. Severus spelled a mantra and soon the voice cancellation spell was activated.
"So did you hear?"
"Yes I did"
What are your thoughts regarding her then?"
"To be honest I am still not convinced with her story. Don't you find her earlier behavior and current behavior different? Something is off. It feels as she is two different person. Don't you think?", Noworry accurately questioned him.
Severus contemplated after hearing this. Earlier he was having same doubts regarding her but now since Noowrry felt that too, he became suspicious again.
"Noworry do you think anyone can be born adult?"
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you observe that Desella? She knows everything about mortal world despite not living here? She knows about human emotions and sentiments. She knows how the world work and people behave. Isn't it a bit odd for someone who has never seen a living person her whole life? She was caged so how and from where did she learn it all? You can't learn these things from books alone. You need to have practical experience for learning and understanding it. How could anyone understand the pain unless they had never hurt themselves?"
Noworry to gave a thought about this.
Whatever Severus spoke was true but they didn't have facts to prove it.
"What are your thoughts regarding this matter, Severus?"
Severus expression turned grim and a chilled surfaced in his eyes.
"Noworry the thing which I am going to tell is a bit absurd but you need to believe it, okay?", Severus asked carefully.
"After living with you and experiencing things, there would be nothing in this world that I won't dare to not believe. Quick tell me"
"Firstly Desella can read me if we share a touch"
"I know this but I am sure this isn't the thing you want me to believe it"
"Yes, you are right. Earlier what you said about two person in one body, it is true"
Bam!
Gasp!
"Huh...what are you saying? Explain it"
"Desella probably doesn't know about it but she doesn't have full knowledge of death and spells. I mean she has but only a small portion of it is there in her memory that rest all is there in her unconscious mind.
