The Anointed One - Chapter 10

Ardisia, A, Zaynab… I am glad that you like the twist.

This chapter is a short one as I wrote it in about an hour. Thought it would be better to publish it then wait to increase its length.

Enjoy
………………………………………….
When Jason told me that he and Zac were brothers, weirdness took a new definition in my dictionary.

There was so much drama in my life lately that if anyone wanted to make a serial out of it; they could probably make soap serial out of it.

I didn’t know what to say or how to reply when Jason shelled me with this bizarre news.

Come on, I am only human and there is only so much stuff that I can actually take in without having a mental break down.

And so, just like a normal human would do in a situation like this, I drifted to unconsciousness.

Jason’s P.O.V

I knew the truth of Zac and I being brothers would be too much for Angel. But I had to tell her. She deserved to know the truth.

But I didn’t expect her to faint. My bad.

It’s a good thing that my reactions are fast. I caught her before she touched the ground.

Picking her up, I took her in her tent and lay her in her sleeping bag.

She seemed so peaceful in this state. These days the only expression on her face was that of worry. So different from before. When she did not know about our world. When she was free and had nothing to fear and worry about.

It was different now. Now she was concerned about Zac’s safety all the time. She tried to hide that. But I could see that in her eyes.

Zac was really lucky to have her.

She didn’t know this but Zac and I were really close before I met her.

We might be twins but I had taken care of him and raised him as my younger brother.

He respected me so much. But that all changed with Angel.

I had seen that Zac was getting way too attached with her so I told him to avoid seeing her. This upset him a lot and we had our first real fight.

It was after that that I entered his life. Zac was really pissed to see me interfering in his life. But I had to do that for his own good.

It turned out to be a bad idea in the end.

I had gone through all this to stop Zac for falling for Angel anymore that he already had and ended up in falling for her myself.

This was not good. Zac knew how I felt about Angel. He didn’t say it but he knew. We might have had different lives altogether but he was my twin after all. He knew how I felt.

I couldn’t face him then. So I left, left without saying a word to Angel.

There were times when I wondered how my life would have been if I had been bewitched instead of Zac. But I removed that thought away from my mind as soon as it came.

How can I even think of his life to be cursed?

Yes, I was cursed. Zac didn’t know that. No one but me, Raven, Dean and Lily did. They wanted to tell this to Zac but I couldn’t allow them to.

I tried so hard for Zac to have a normal life. I gave him as much time as I could. He didn’t need to suffer what I did.

I can never let him know about my curse. It will remain buried in my heart.

I felt Angel stir a little then.

This was so hard for me. Not to tell her how much I cared.

It was another part of my curse. I could never have the person I cherished most in life.

I hated every breath I took. Every second I wished for my life to be over.

What wouldn’t I give to end this misery this pain?

I sighed then. What’s the point of wishing something I can never have.

With one last look at the girl that could never be mine, I went out into the dark forest.
