Chapter 25 Hollow island 3: Wake up, you silly witch!
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
"Wake up! Wake uuuuupp!"-I shouted. He laughed and looked at her. The transition of time in dream is just a matter of seconds. My version in her dream enters and saw how beautiful she is in white dress. I hug her from her back and we look on our reflection. Even if the mirror clearly shows his true face, she didn't react from it. That only means that she can't see that. Only me and this damn witch!
"Did you know that all the memories and their emotions from their desired life in their dreamland is what I needed? They will fulfill my wish to be a full-pledge witch."-he smirk. I laugh.
"Make sure that you won't blink even for a single moment, I promise that I will kill you once that my body can move even in a split of seconds!"
"Dream on! Bwahahaha!"-he laugh. Damn it!
"You are so beautiful today, Cynthia."-he said.
"I know. Just kidding. Of course, I made sure that I will be the most beautiful woman in your eyes."
"Scared?"-he said. She laughed but nodded.
"Don't worry, I won't be seeing other women only you, my mate."-he said and he even licked her ear.
"Uhnn…stop it, Ulysses. We can do anything you wanted later tonight, okay? First, we have to enter the hall. Our wedding will start in few minutes."
"Okay, my queen."-he said. Later on, the door opens and my eyes widened even more! Her family is here?! He walk first and then his father walk with her in the aisle. Is this her true desire…?
"Thanks father. I knew that many things happens but I am happy that we can be able to forgive and forget about the bitter past."-she said.
"Me too, my daughter. Father is happy that we patch up the things that we misses."-he responds. When they reach the altar, he held her hand.
"Please, take care of her."-her father. He smiled.
"I WILL, father."-he said. The ceremony starts. She put the ring first and say her vow.
"This is my ring that will prove that no matter what your chooses in life. I will support you. Even if you will walk away, I will always give my blessings and be happy for you. Even if that means that you choose Estella over me. I will always love you and wish you happiness, Ulysses. I will never forsake you and…help you in everything that you wished to do. When I die, just remember that I love you…forever."
She wears the ring in his finger, he is about to held her hand when she take it. She bites her finger and kneel on the floor. A spell ruins made from her blood makes the people in her dreams into smoke.
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV
Yes. I know from the start that I am in a dream. I just let myself get into it. Because I wanted to experience marrying Ulysses even in just a dream. Be succumbed with my inner desires. Even for just a moment. But I have to admit that the truth about me being in peace with dad and Gabrielle is not yet happening. That Ulysses will never love someone like me. 'At least, I confess these feelings that suddenly arose in my heart for him. That is enough for me. It's time to wake up now…silly witch.'
"What are you doing?!"-he said. They turn into smoke with red eyes and lips. I smiled and this spell protects me from them. I wipe of the tears that suddenly fall down my cheeks. I speak.
"Because I have to wake up now. I enjoyed this place. It made me realize what my heart truly desires. Being at peace with my father and half-sister. Marries the man that I love. Saves all the races who truly want peace. But my life is the opposite of this place. I have to open my eyes. I have to wake up now. Even you gave me my desires…this is not me."
"You silly witch! You think you can leave this place? We will never let that happen! Stay here with us!"
They are about to put me in a deeper sleep, the ruins glows up and vanished them all. I smiled bitterly and this whole world became a white mist where I can't see anything anymore.
"Wake up, you silly witch!"-Ulysses. The mist suddenly washed off upward and a warm feeling covered me as my hair blew upward and went down after the wind stops. I wipe of my tears.
"Wake up already. Don't be a burden, you naive stupid woman!"-he said. I close my eye and bend backwards to let myself fall backward.
"Uhm!"-I shouted. I suddenly feel the wind hugging me and the next time I open my eyes. I saw him as a man grabbing him and pointed a silver knife in his neck. I stood up and saw the other women who are happy in their dreams. Did he watch my—aaahhh!
"Half witch?"-I mumbled. He moved the knife in his skin and it roasts him. He looks in pain, he is under his spell. He looks at me.
"Who are you?!"-he shouted. I sighed and pointed him as I started blabbering and shouting.
"I should be asking that! How dare you fooling the villagers into bad beliefs about this island?! How can you used innocent people's sufferings and turn them into these! How dare you toying our feelings?! And also! Why are you hurting my alpha?! I didn't give you any permission to do that?! Let go of him! I will kill you in a snap of you hurt him further."-I said.
The tone that I used are sharp and firm. He is surprised to see when my eyes color change into pink. His hands grabbing him started to move on their own and let him go. He can now move. I started making his blood flows backward made him float as he shouted in pain. I let him be like that for the meantime. I stood in front of him.
"I'm glad you are okay."-I said and touches his neck who started to regenerate. I sigh and look at the enemy again. I raised my hand and pulled him. I am holding his neck in a great force and he coughs.
"I uho—surrender! Please, spare me—uho!"
"You won't remember anything about this island. Everything that you have done as a half-witch and half-human. You are an orphan human who own a few hectares in North."-I said. His eyes glows as I alter his memory. I raise my other hand and change his appearance. No other races will sense the changes that I made. I let him go and lay him down the ground. I use my blood again to create a spell where I will turn him into human like what mother do to aunt Miranda. I teleported him on the place that I mentioned. I spell ruins are created underneath these women and their dreams stops. I created a knife and use it to make my blood flow on the ruins and mumbled the spell that I saw in a flash while staying in that dream.
"Um-sum-truk, um-dang-heol, shin-fang-ol!"
They glows in red and the four ruins floated above us and united. It became a bigger ruins that covered the whole island. A strong wind lifted the mind and the whole islands beauty are now visible. The curse of my great-great grandma disappears. I smiled and took a deep breath. The air is refreshing. At last, this job is now over. I teleported the women back to their homes. I also drag the bones of the dead victims and place them in the grave I made for them. I close my eyes and pay respect.
"May you all forgive us."-I said. I knew they won't know it but this is my way to show how sorry I am.
"Let's go home."-I said and look back on him. He suddenly push me in the big tree a few meter away from my back. I even groan in pain.
"Agh. I feel weak, how can you push me like that?"
He suddenly punch the tree on the right side of my face. I gulp. 'Wahh! That's close! I thought he is targeting me. Thank goodness. Phew.'
"What's wrong with you?"-I ask. He held my cheeks and his eyes turns to yellow as fury is like a fire that will soon eat me out. Scary! He is dead man! Wahh.
"And what the heck are you doing, Cynthia Maximillian? Are you really idiot?! How could you—"
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
I am relieved. I don't even saw what she did clearly. The cursed is lifted and my eyes is on her. She came back and awoke herself on her own. Good thing she end up noticing that she is dreaming before that version of me puts the ring in her finger. I am holding her in cheeks. My free hand lifted her hands and make sure she is not wearing any ring.
"W-what i-ish it?"-she ask. I let her go. She massage her cheeks and give me that puzzled yet misty gazes.
"Let's go back in that village. I have to erase all their memories about this island and all the records in every books in every region."-she said. She is about to wall back when I say something that stops her from walking away. I pin my back on the tree.
"Are you avoiding me because you have an idea that I saw everything while you are dreaming, hmm?"
"Oh shut up!"-she said and put her palm in my mouth. I chuckled and acted biting her hand. She take them. She pouted and looked at me.
"They are just a dream! I…I say those things t-to make sure that n-no one saw that I am s-sober! That I knew that I am in a dream!"-she said. I smirked.
"Really, hmm?"-I said and pulled her in her waist. She placed her hand on my chest and looked at me intently. I caress her cheeks down to her neck and to her cleavage. She held my hand and before she can ask, I claimed her lips. She moans trying to push me away but I am much stronger than her normal force. She pushes me and pushes me. I turn around and pin her on the tree instead as I held her arms up. She ends up kissing me back. 'I am glad you wake up from that nasty dream. I feel like I will kill anyone if you didn't wake up at that moment. I wanted to slash that fake's neck. That moment, I feel like I wish I am that person.' We both gasps some air when we parted. She looked down but I lifted her chin up. I keep on claiming her lips until I talk to her using telepathy. 'Repeat your vow, silly witch.' I ordered. She didn't but her eyes are telling me what she said on that time are all true. I lifted her and she wraps her thighs in my waist. She kissed me this time.
"Just today…can you just think me alone?"-she suddenly said. I bite her in neck. She snaps her finger and she teleported us in that inn. I lifted her dress and take off her undergarment. I parted her legs and get in. She moans loudly. That night is an extra level as I allowed myself indulge deeper. When I open my eyes, she came back in our room.
"Finish with what you wanted to do?"-I ask.
"Yes. We got a problem. Witches surrounds the inn. They are after us. Let's go back in the castle."-she said. Who are they? I hope its not what I think.
