The Forbidden (Lyla's Curse )

Shocks

Matilda let go off him and slowly got to her feet. She actually thought that the guy had some good in him when he let her cry on his chest, turns out she was wrong .

" Sorry for the inconvenience " she said and started walking out but was stopped as he hauled her around. The action made her head snap.

" What do you want " She thundered.

" Where do you think your going" he asked

" I don't know. To the bridge if there is one or back to my aunt, I will go anywhere that doesn't lead me to you or that pervert that just left here" she fired.

" And don't interfere with me ever again" she shouted " Even if am dying"

Her last statement made an eyebrow rise on his annoying handsome face as he looked at her mockingly.

" Aaah " he exclaimed " Even if you are dying. I had no idea you had such wish "

" Well am just gonna leave you to your fate"

She wanted to ask him what he meant by that, but was blinded with anger and embarrassment for the way in which he spoke to her. She was weak and in need of support and ended up getting insulted for it.

You are a piece of s**t, she cursed in her head before storming out of the room.

She walked through the hallway and continued to curse Devin.

Who does he think he is?

All I did was lean in a little.

He had no right to talk to me in that manner.

I hope that stupid bastard goes to hell.

She continued her internal monologue till she hit a wall.

"s**t " she muttered and turned away from the wall to resume her walk but was stopped by a hand that captured her arm.

Damn this Devin guy, she cursed as she turned around.

" I told you not to interfere with me" she snapped, but was silenced when her eyes came in contact with the icy cold eyes in front of her.

Those eyes which she couldn't forget.

Those eyes that surfaced in her minds eye every now and then.

Those eyes that made her tremble.

" Watch where you are going" he said to her before releasing her arm. " are you alright" he asked

What was she to say?

she panicked because she sure wasn't alright and couldn't admit that she was bordered.

" Yeah " she answered " I am just having a bad day"

" Bad day" he said as she peaked through her lowered lashes to get a peak of his handsome face " But you don't look so bad after all"

" really " she asked quite taken by the compliment.

" Yes" he answered " How about you join me outside for a walk " he offered

" Oh yes " she immediately agreed as they walked down the unfamiliar hallways till they got outside.

The garden which she had admired from afar when they first came was now in front of her and she was in complete awe of its beauty.

" Beautiful" she whispered as she walked through it while touching and feeling the plants and flowers.

She had always loved plants but didn't have the privilege of a large garden or even a small one, her mum had completely shut her out from everything she loved. Everything!

Well that was okay now, because she had her time here to experience things she have never experienced.

" Not so beautiful again " Lenore replied " The years and time have done a great damage to it"

" really " Matilda asked while turning to have a full view of Lenore as he walked through the garden. She followed him.

" How " she asked

" Certain things can make something that looks so beautiful and evergreen wither " he replied before making himself comfortable on the grass. Matilda joined him as she anticipated the end of his story.

" Years ago the town of Harva was fruitful and beautiful, more beautiful than any mind can imagine"

" Till what happened" she asked eagerly. Lenore knew she thought this was indeed a fairytale and made no move to correct her. He believed she was better off ignorant.

" Infestation" he answered " The folks were infested with love for the things of the common born"

Matilda was indeed entranced by his story and the sound of his voice did little things to her insides, but she was more charmed by the man than his properties. She wanted to lean in but the way in which she was insulted by Devin still surfaced on her mind and caused her nothing but restriction.

" So they plotted to kill their king and hand over the kingdom to the common born"

" Did they succeed " Matilda asked

Lenore nodded in reply " but not without a cost " he added.

" They had their magic taken away from them by the forbidden"

" Who are the forbidden " Matilda asked.

" No one knows " he replied " And no legends nor myths have heard of them till the time of their manifestation"

" Creepy " Matilda commented.

" Yh"

" Very creepy " he replied.

Before silence descended on them and their surroundings.

Lenore was actually happy having her here, he was afraid of what might befall her in the Beareau since Lady Martha was stupid enough to bring her here, but at least she was safe with him.

He had sensed her uneasiness when they met on the hallway but now all he could feel from her was relaxation and a little bit of anger.

I wonder what made her angry

he asked himself but was short circuited when he felt something soft and plump land on his laps.

OH MY GOSH. Matilda screamed in her mind. she didn't mean to do it, she had only slipped while trying to get on her feet, now she had spoiled a perfectly great evening.

what to do? She couldn't comprehend the look in his eyes but she knew she was in so much trouble.

" Sorry " she stammered as she instantly got to her feet " It wasn't intentional i..."

" It's alright" he said as he stood up as well " I will see you to the sitting room before your aunts gets worried" he better get rid of her than ride her he thought.

" Oh okay " she said uncertainly " But am really sorry I swear it wasn't

intentional " she stated

" hey, it's okay " said as he took her hand and lead her to the direction of the main house. Even though he knew it wasn't okay because his libido was screaming to back her against the nearest tree and have his way with her.
