Cursed Mates

Who Are You

ROMIE'S POV

There was a wicked grin on my face as I pushed the sword into his heart. Warm blood sputtered out onto my face and I relished in the feeling.

His blood was like a fuel that kept me going and I wanted more.

I wanted to see him lying in the pool of his blood, just like my parents, with his head, heart and limbs detached.

On the other hand, Marcus had a slight smile on his face, however, his eyes held emotions I couldn't comprehend.

"What is..." I said, in a shaky tone as I felt pain starting to radiate through my body. My grip on the sword loosened and stumbled backwards. The sword was strewn across the hall.

"What is going on?" I said, my eyes shut for a moment as I fell to my knees. There was a loud thud and my knees vibrated in pain.

I clutched at my chest, trying to lessen the pain but it only became excruciating. I felt like there was an invisible weapon lodged in my chest and I wanted to get it out.

"What have you done to me?" I said, with difficulty. My head was bowed but then I looked up at him.

Red blood was dripping from his chest, dyeing his clothes red.

However, there was a look of sympathy on his face.

His eyes looked pitiful and I groaned.

"What did you think I did to you? Stab you?" He said to me, in a low tone.

At his words, I stretched my hand, trying to reach up to him but then it fell with full force.

"You caused me pain." I said, realizing he was the cause of the pain I was feeling. An overwhelming sense of anger overcame me and my eyes turned red.

With great difficulty, I crawled toward the sword that was a few feet away from me. Immediately I got my hand on the sword, I stood up to my feet.

The only thought in my head was revenge! I wanted to kill him! He had caused me pain!

"Stop! Romie!" He said to me and I halted for a second.

How did he know my name? Has he been stalking me? However, I was quick to push these thoughts out of my head. I just wanted blood to flow.

"Don't f*****g tell me to stop. You have to die!" I yelled, with determination in my eyes.

"You can't hurt me, Romie." He replied to me and then stood up. The gaping wound on his chest was starting to close up.

"Why?" I screamed and he flinched.

"Why can you hurt me and I can't?" I felt indignant.

"It's..." He started to speak but then I didn't want to listen to him.

Without thinking twice, I charged at him, clasping onto the sword, tightly.

The sword went through his torso and he didn't resist.

Blood sputtered out and at the same moment, I felt excruciating pain in my torso.

My eyes widened in shock and pain as I realized what was really going on.

However, confusion set in. I thought that he had rejected me. I shouldn't feel his pain anymore.

"You can't hurt me, Romie." He said, but then the sword was still buried in his abdomen.

"You are only causing yourself pain." He added and I groaned.

However, I didn't want to stop. Even if I could feel his pain, as long as he felt the same pain, I wouldn't mind.

Immediately he finished his words, I took out the sword and swiftly drove it back into his abdomen. Marcus didn't care to fight back but then there was a look of pain on his face.

His mouth was gaped open while blood dripped from the corner.

My eyes blurred due to the stabbing pain. My hands were stained in blood and there was a thick pool of blood below us.

"I will kill you!" I said, as I continuously stabbed him.

However, I felt pain more than I could ever imagine.

Hot tears dripped down my eyes as I shook.

"You deserve to die!" I said, as I shakily took out the sword and stabbed him again. I was weak and in the next second, my hands loosened around the sword.

I stumbled as my eyes shut and I fell with a loud thud. Immediately, I was pulled into thick darkness.

A few seconds later, my eyes opened up and I was surrounded by darkness. Swiftly, I shot up to my feet and I twirled around, in the darkness.

Through my high senses, I could see that I was in a wide and open area.

"How did I get here?" I asked myself as I felt my body. There was a faint sense of pain and that was all.

I was bewildered! I didn't know what was going on.

"Did that bastard do something to me?" I asked myself.

As I continued to feel myself, I saw that I was dressed in old and ancient robes.

"What's going on?" I asked out loud and immediately I finished my words, there was a ray of light that blinded my eyes.

The light was too bright and I had to shut my eyes.

After a few seconds, slowly, I opened my eyes and I was shocked at what I saw.

I was in the middle of a village, with ancient buildings.

Buildings built with mud and bamboo sticks.

I was confused! For a moment, I was in the royal hall with Marcus and then I found myself in a dark area.

I couldn't comprehend how I found myself in an ancient world.

At this moment, I started to hear footsteps and I held my breath.

A man dressed in ancient robes just like me, started to walk toward me.

I felt like time stopped as my mouth gaped open.

My eyes widened as soon as I caught sight of his appearance.

"Who are you?" I asked, as soon as he stopped before me.
