Forever Destined To The Silver Shadow

Darius! He is the reason why my love got confused. He had triggered Celestia with lies! He should be gone. "I am going to kill that lame prince now," I shouted and was about to leave the spot. 

But I froze when Celestia held my hand. "Are you…. are you going to kill Darius?"

"Yes! He is the one who changed your mind. So he is going to suffer for that—"

"No, stop! Don't kill him," she said. "I will do anything instead."

She then put my arm around her waist and said, "You just want my body, right? Then just take me! But please don't kill him—"

I got shocked and moved away from her. "Celestia… What are you saying?"

She just blinked at me and didn't give me a reply. In her mind, she was determined to do anything to save Darius. 

"Is this what you think of me, Celestia? Do you think that I only want your body?"

"You only need that, don't you?" 

I didn't know how to respond to her. I gave out everything to her. Still, she thinks that I am the Villain!

"I am in love with you, Celestia! I really do, and I don't know how I can make you believe that—"

"Then release Darius! You can prove your love to me from that," she said. 

"No… I can't," I yelled out. "Darius manipulated you! How can I let him go?"

"Oh god!" she sighed and looked down. Then she picked up the silver dagger from the floor and held it over her wrists. "Release Darius now, or else I am going to slice my wrists—"

For this long, I tried hard to control my rage. And I even succeeded in that. As she threatened to take her own life, my rage got built up again. 

"No.....," I yelled out. "You can't do this to me, Celestia! You can't leave me again—"

I forcefully grabbed the dagger from her hand and dropped it on the floor. "Your life is not yours at all to take! You are mine, and even you don't have the right over your life—"

She flinched. "Let me go…."

I gripped her hand firmly as my rage reached its peak. "Even if you kill me, I can accept it! But if you sacrifice yourself again, then I will….."

After that, words didn't come out of my mouth as I got consumed by anger. My eyes started to glint red as my darkness took over me. Celestia struggled to free herself from my grip more than ever. 

"Let me go, you monster…."

"I am not a monster," I said in a stern tone. 

"You are a monster! You are a murderer, a rapist and…."

She let out a scream as the red flames from my palm started to burn her hand. Still, I didn't let her go. "Do you feel the burn, my love? That is exactly how my heart is burning right now—"

At that moment, everything around us got white again. This time Amelia got out of the white smoke. 

"Theodore," she yelled out. "Let her go now! You are hurting her—"

Amelia pushed me away from my love, and she gave me a slap on my face. "Wake up, Theo! See what you have done to her—"

Slowly, I got my sanity back. My heart almost stopped when I looked at her arm. I burnt her hand with my flames. I had hurt her! 

"Celestia," I cried. "I am very sorry. I never meant for this to happen. Please forgive me—"

"Get out of here, Theo," Amelia fired at me. "You don't have to defend yourself to her. Just get out of here—"

"But she threatened to kill herself. And now she is hurt….."

"I'll take care of her. You can just leave now—"

Celestia's POV: 

He gave me one last glance before he left the room. I was so glad that Amelia had come here. Or else what could have happened to me? 

My hand hurt like hell from where he touched me. How could he be so insensitive to me? I was so humble enough not to hurt him despite the fact that I had the dagger. I only told him that I would slice my wrist if he didn't release Darius. But for that, he turned into a demon! 

"Celestia," the strawberry blonde girl in front of me said and held my burnt arm. "I am sorry to say this to you. Even if you stab Theo, he can take it. But if you threaten to kill yourself, it will wreck him the most. Because he loves you that much—"

"Can you people stop saying that," I cried out? "It is getting annoying now to keep on hearing the same thing!"

"Okay fine," she said and moved her hand over the reddish spot on my arm. Surprisingly, her touch eased my pain slightly. Very soon, my pain diminished little by little. Then the reddish spot disappeared, and my arm got pale again. She healed me! So Sirens can heal too?! Or maybe only the gifted Sirens can do this. 

Once I was free from pain, she let my hand go and smiled at me. "I am sorry about Theo. He is just so possessive of you!"

"If you are going to defend him, then you can please leave now," I said. 

"Fine," she sighed. "I won't defend him! But you need to know the truth. Theo is not manipulating you. Your father is the sinner here. Please try to see the truth, Celestia—"

"Please leave me alone," I cried. 

"Okay! Calm down, Celestia! But you can't forever live in this illusion. You will have to open your eyes and see the reality."

After that, she fulfilled my wish by disappearing from the spot. Finally, I get some inner peace! 

How am I going to escape from this place? That trickster might come to me again. What if he manipulates my mind or forces me? Holy Aiden has to save me from this havoc! 

And I would have to save Darius too! He is rotting down in prison below.. That trickster claims to love me. Still, he refuses to release Darius? This shows that he is lying to me!
