Chapter 23
The sun rays pierced into my eyelids and I groaned as I stretched on the hard wooden bed. My eyes fluttered open and I looked around the room. Where is Lisbon? That was the first thing that came to my mind. I rushed out of the room and shouted his name repeatedly. “LISBON!”
There was no answer. I leaned against the brick wall as tears rolled down my cheeks. I combed through my thick hair and reminded myself that this was what I want.
I want to disappear from Lisbon’s life forever and never ever have any relations with him. Finally, he leave me and he will never appear in front of me. I picked myself up and staggered back to the house. I had to meditate to regain my power.
Then, something caught my eye. It was a bottle of dubious-coloured looking liquid. Under it was a note. I picked it up and read.
Persephone Angel,
Your powers will be hard to regain as I hit you too hard. Sorry. As an apology, this bottle of healing potion will be yours. Do not worry, it is not poisonous:D Have a happy life. Goodbye.

Lisbon Dead.

The tears that just dried up flowed down again. Suddenly, I felt so lonely and helpless. In frustration, I crushed the paper and threw the bottle of potion on the hard ground. The glass bottle shattered into pieces and I screamed,” Why do you treat me so good?! WHY?!!!”


I slowly stumbled back to the city area and took a cab back home. I flung myself in my bed and cried my heart out. For the rest of the day, I hid under the duvet, not ready to face the horrible world that I was living in.

Luckily, in my life, there is Aaron----my Destiny mortal.

Next day, as I lay on the bed, half asleep, the door clicked open and I jumped out of bed. Who is that? Before I could find out, a figure greeted me at my bedroom door. Both of us gasped in unison.

“SPEHY!”

“AARON?!!”

Feeling a wash of relief, I ran forward and hugged him tight. My feeling was a mix. I did not know if Aaron was just a replacement for Lisbon or was I really happy to see this familiar person. However, I knew, no matter what happens next, Aaron cannot be missing from my life, like how Lisbon did. I cannot lose another person so important to me anymore.

“ Spehy, where did you disappear to? Do you know I have been searching for you high and low for so many days? How can you leave me like this?! What happened to you and that weird guy?” Aaron’s voice broke my thoughts.

I broke the close contact and looked into his eyes. “Sorry, I had to settle things with him.”

“What things?” he asked.

“I...Can...can we don’t talk about this for a moment?” I pleaded weakly.

Aaron just shrugged and muttered an apology.

I managed to plaster a smile on my face and break the silence between us,” Thanks for worrying about me in when you are still so sick.”

Aaron looked straight up at me with wide eyes,” How did you know I was sick?!”

“Well,err.. you look sick.” I said the first thing that came to my mind.

“Aww, Sephy, you are so observant. Now you are back, safe and sound, but with panda eyes.” he said sweetly.

I laughed and hugged him again. All of a sudden, I felt that I was ready to begin my new life without Lisbon Dead. After all, I lived without him for 19 years.

End.


Happy teachers's day!!!!
