CURSED 1

SHE IS STUBORN

***DEVIN’S P.O.V***

I have to do this. I just have to act like I have to. This acting is gonna make things more and better.I went to college and I got out of the car and opened the door for her.

She came out of it and then I wrapped my hands around her. We were both close. At least one thing that’s in my favour is that she is not gonna brag about what I am doing and I played with her as she knows what it is and why I am doing this.

“Devin, you know why I am doing this, but are you really sure that she is gonna get healthy because of it? I mean are you sure about that?”

“Yes and as far as I know her, she is not gonna take this on a good note. She is going to be very angry about the fact that I did that. Yesterday she came to me and she was crying. Today here I am with a new woman.”

Yes, that broke my heart, but I am still doing this. I just hope that things will be great. After that, she will be on a different way and then I will go on the other way.

“Look,” She said, and then I looked at her. She was there. I just saw them there. Myra and Penelope were there. She was looking at me in pain. It was clearly shown in her eyes. I just ignored her and then went away with Pia.

We both talked for a while and then went to the classroom where Penelope was already there. I looked at her and then I just ignored it, we might start to make out there only

She got frustrated and then just got up, and then left the classroom. This is just great. This is perfect. This is what I wanted. As soon as she left, we both separated our ways.

Class was just going on when, later on, Myra came to me, “Nice buddy, you are doing a great job, great going, huh would I think that you would not be able to do that, but that is great. I am happy that it’s happening.”

“Yeah me too, as we both have thought about it. It’s just happening that way only, it’s just perfect that it’s happening that way. I am happy about that.”

I smiled at her and then I just looked at her. I am great because of that. I am happy that it’s a great “Yeah me too. I am also happy about that to just make sure that she won’t end up doing any stupidity.”

I am afraid that she will just take some step that’s not going to be right. “Yeah don’t worry about that she is home and I know that, it’s just that she is a bit frustrated, that’s it.”

I nodded at her. I was just talking to her when I heard her voice. Where is she and what is wrong with her? I just don’t know.

“No, she is not safe. Excuse me, I have to go.” I said, and then made my way. I ran as fast as I could. I could hear her voice. I was close to it.

I just stopped on my track as I saw it the hut the same once where it had happened earlier I was able to hear her voice there

“Penelope no no what is she doing there. This is just not correct.” I am frustrated I have to do this again. I don’t understand how come she is able to do it again and again.

I took a deep breath and then I went inside. I went there

I heard my name and then I tilted my head. I saw her in the corner. I went to her and then wrapped her in the jacket that I was wearing. I looked at her. She was all in smoke.

“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to you. I am here now.” I said, and then I looked at her. She was not going to have anything happen to her.

“Look at me. Just wake up, okay don’t close your eyes.” I said, and then took her in the bridal style. I looked at her again. I knew that after this she that was going to get scared of me.

She is going to go away from me, far far away from me. She actually doesn't remember anything at all, not by even a chance.

I screamed and then turned into a vampire. She was just looking at me. Her eyes were not filled with terror, which just made me more shocked.

I took her out of the fire and then put her off the ground. I let her rest for a while. I am happy that she is fine now. I was about to leave, when I saw her she woke up. Now I should go. She is good.

“Devin, wait don’t go away like this, please, because I know that you are angry with me, but please just don’t go away like this. It’s hurting.” I turned and looked at her in anger.

“What were you thinking? How can you be so stupid to come to this place that could be the same place where I lost you and now again you are here? Why do you have to do this to me, don't you? I know how important you are to me.”

I looked at her in anger. I just don’t have any idea how she can be so stupid to come to this place again and again. Why does she have to do that? I just don’t get that. What does she have to do in this jungle? Why can’t she be at home or some other place like normal people?

If it had not been there, then nothing would have happened to her. She would have died and no one would have been able to save her. This place is just cursed.

“I am fine Devin.” She said, but I knew that she was in pain. It just doesn’t make me feel good that she is in a state and that is a cause for me, because I know one thing, that she has not done anything for me.

Whatever had been done the last time she had done that, because she knew a lot of stuff and she wanted to know about it, but at then she had no idea about any of the stuff, so whatever was happening or however that was happening. There is definitely someone behind it who wants to kill her again. I want to take her away from me. That’s the reason why I want her to be away from me.

“No, oh. You are just not and this is what you have been doing to just hurt me. You wanted to know the truth. Now you know that I am a vampire. You should be running away from me, Penelope. I am a vampire. I will kill you.”

I just said that I would kill her, but here she is complete. She is Honey. I just don’t get what is wrong with her. I can’t tell her every single thing. But why don’t you just understand that it is not safe and I don’t understand what is wrong with her. Why is she my link when I am saying that I will kill her?

I don’t care about it. I just don’t understand this at all. I have no idea about that at all. Maybe she will have been mad after everything this. I just know that I just don’t care about anything at all. I just don’t have any other option other than this at all.

I looked at her in anger. I am in deep pain right now.

“You can never do that, Devin. You only want to see me healthy and good. That is all that you want, Devi, and stop lying now and again and again. I am not afraid of you why I will be the man I thought turns out to be how I thought he was.”

Whatever I say, this thing will just never change. She knows me very well that I will never kill and how come she would not know about it like that? I just wouldn’t get that at all.

This is just not something that I will be able to change her emotions. I will not be able to change them at all.

I went to her, then I took her in the bridal style to some place that was somewhere safer. I took her there as I could sense the smell. This place is not safe at all. This place is just gonna be very wrong now.

“No Penelope, you are just not understanding that this is just not the case. The thing is that I am a monster and a monster can kill you. Do you know what? Does a vampire eat or what is their favourite meal? Do you have any idea whether it’s human blood?”

I told her and then I got angry at her. I just didn’t get it at all. I was screaming at her, but at the same time, she was not even a bit scared of me and understood what I was thinking.

“Tell me one thing, Penelope, do you have a brain? I think that you have lost your head. And that is it. I am screaming here in front of her and then telling you to go away. I am dangerous. Then that’s why you should think I am a monster.”

It just doesn’t affect her at all, not even a bit, it’s more like I just sang a song for her which was slime. She is not interested in it at all and she doesn’t care about that.

“Look, I know how it is and how back it could have been, but I just wanted to let you know that I am not going anywhere and if you think that you will say that vampires drink human blood, then let me tell you that, it’s just not gonna happen because if you wanted you could have already had it.”

She knows how to have it all, how to make it happen. She just knows how to play it and do all the stuff.

I just don’t know how I will be able to handle anything. I want you to go to her and then hug her and then tell her that I also want to be with you, but I don’t even think it is possible, because if I choose, or, she’s not even with me now, my life is in danger and that anyone could kill her

I just don’t get how I will make her understand. I am trying every single thing that I can do, but whenever it comes to her life, I just can’t let her die. I could not let it die. If you think that I am protecting her, it means that we will be able to get it and it’s not gonna happen.

“What do you want, huh? Have already you already suffered because of me and here you are now wanting more for yourself you. Let me be clear with you that I don’t want that to happen to you if that. I am just not a good man for you. Why don’t you get this?”

She loved me a lot and loved her she had just been with me. When I was falling she was with me,

“I am good look at me just because of a past you just could not let me go and then let me be like or just leave me like I am no one you can’t do that at all did you get that, I love you Devin you know even though I don’t remember anything I just want that you will stay with me please Devin don’t do that.”

I looked at her in anger. I know that she is just not in a mood to let go of me, but I am also not in that mood because I am just not gonna let that happen. Whatever has happened has done enough of the damage. She was about to die. I was about to lose her. Now I will make sure that I can do the stuff as I want if she just parts her ways.

“Don’t you ever do that, Penelope. I am trying to protect you. I am just doing this for you. You know what, it’s gonna be great if you would just let it go. Just let me go.”

The only reason why I am doing this is that I want to protect her and I am going to do that at any cost even if she will beg me your will cry or anything would have happened. I am not going to get a break. I will just not let her get what she wants. She’s not going to be a part of my life because I just can’t see another person who is close to me dying because of me. She just means a lot to me.

She is not easy to deal with. I have to find a way to take her away from me at any cost. I just have to do that at all.

Listen to me, what will I do with her? She just pisses me off a lot. She just irritates me a lot.

“You know what it is, Devin, I am not gonna leave it on like that. It is. Did you get that,? Look at me Devin, what are you seeing here, loon in my eyes? You know what. It is. It is love and I know that the girl who was there was also just an acting actor.”

I looked at her with all the anger that was inside me. I am not afraid of anything. One of mine is about to die and here she is herself wanting to die.

I was not happy with it. She was standing a bit away from me. I went to her. I was angry, I just wanted her not to come back here.

“Look Penelope, you have no idea about what it is, you just don’t know what it is this time. The fear is not small, it’s very complicated now and I don’t want to make it more or more complicated. Because you listen, you know what you see in me. If you want to save your life, then just stay away from me.”

This time I made it pretty clear to her that, if she was close to me, then she was gonna die. There was no way around that anyone there was gonna save her.

It’s not gonna be every time that I will be present with her to save her from anything that’s just not gonna happen. It is it? I just know that that’s it. I don’t care about it, but she has to go away from me as far as she can.

“No no, Devin, if you are suffering, then I am going to be in that suffering for you I am. I am not gonna leave you alone. What do you think about this heart, huh, even though I don’t remember anything every single time, it just makes me feel that I want you. That’s why you got that .”

She got tears in her eyes. I wanted to go there and then, but no, it couldn’t happen at all. I just won’t be able to do that, will I?

I know one thing very well. I have to be away from her and make sure that she is gonna be away from me.

She is important to me. She is just a very very important one.

When she said that, even though she had no memory, she felt she had this thing inside her heart that she felt for me and that was just the thing that made me feel that, it is it that’s just it and no other way is it gonna be. I can’t lose myself.

“Pain is just about your pain and what about your pain, in which I have to see you? Do you know what, Penelope, because of you, I have been through a lot. You know why my father is lying on his death bed because of the werewolf. Maybe who is your friend did that to him and I am not able to cure him.”

I just said something that I should not have said, I knew. That is very good. That is it. I just don’t care about it at all, does it?

“Who are you talking about, Devin? I barely do have any friends and who is it who did what? I just don’t understand anything at all.”

I didn’t have to say it at all. I should not have to do this. I just don’t get this. It wouldn't have been a great idea. I know that it’s not a great idea at all.

I was looking into her eyes. It would be better if I should just stay quiet and then I wouldn’t say anything at all. This is just not a great idea.

I have made a mistake and I should not have. I should not open my eyes. That’s it. I should not do that at all.

“Let it be Penelope, I want you to get involved in this. Now I have protected you and now I just want to say that do one thing, just stay away from me as much as you can if you get that.”

I said it in a very angry voice. I just don’t know how I would stop her in any of the way. I just have no way for that.

But I can just try to do that. I have to do that, but, what if things are just not going as she thinks? I have to take care of everything?

I have to take care what it is,

Things are not going to be in my favour now. I have to talk to Myra and tell her to do something.

“Okay Devin, if you want, then I am going right now, but I am not going to go away from you as much as you want. You can keep your distance and I will try my best to be with you and to make you mine.”

She just said it and then she just made her way out of it. I just had to take a deep breath. I made sure that she was safely going home.

Her clumsiness will sometimes make things worse. Things are just not appropriate.

She was home and safely made her way to my house. As I reached there, I saw my mother there.

“What is it? I just don’t get it. What is the thing that is happening here? Tell me one thing. What is the cause and what is it that’s making you so worried about something, Devin, what is it?”

I liked my mother and then I told her.

“Penelope, mom, she was about to die today.”

I told her she was shocked when she heard it. She got up from the couch and then came close to me.

“What are you talking about? How come this happened that I just don’t get this. Tell me what. What is it that you are talking about telling me everything, Devin?”

I looked at her and then said “Mom, she was. It was in that guy again and with that it was burning.”

“What about that guy where Diana was? How come she was there last time? But she doesn’t remember anything, how come and why she did that. Why is the thing, what is the reason for it at all?”

She said, then I made her sit on the couch. “It’s them mom, it’s them. They are planning to kill her. Also, mom, they are using her to blackmail us from getting close to him, but don’t worry about that at all. I am here now and things are just gonna be great, so don’t worry at all, okay.”

I said it and then I sat down next to her. I didn’t want more stress because, for her after I was awake, the hate that mom had inside her now had just gone away because it was not good.

“Devin, is she alright? I mean that she would have been hurt a lot.”

“No mom, relax, don’t worry about her. She is absolutely fine and even though she is just perfectly fine harmful she is just a bit harmful. That’s it. But worse has already happened, mom. She knows that I am a vampire.”

Even though I said it, my mom’s reaction did not change, she was just all normal. She had no objection or not even a bit of fear in her eyes. Then what is it?

“It’s alright because she is no harm to us, even though now she is going to be with you like,, aspect that you have needed. We should be happy about that, Devin, like in the old times, and don’t worry. This time I am also gonna be a part of that stuff of yours.”

Mom's heart is changed just because now she believes in our love. Now she thinks that our love is very genuine and it is just important.

“Mom, no, please don’t act this way. Please, you think that maybe she is gonna tell it but who she is is.”

“Devin, does she have even a bit of fear in her eyes? No, she would not have had it. She is just something that you wanted. Now you can have her all she is back.”

I got frustrated by hearing this and then just got up from the couch and then went to the balcony.

“Mom, why do you think that it is easy for me to also love her, but she is just getting on my nerves and here you are, mom talking like this like a s**t let me tell you one thing, mom, that there is nothing that’s gonna happen between us.. Just nothing.” I said to her in anger," I am not happy right now at all saying this but I have to do this. I have no idea other than

“Just keep saying this, Devincauds, nothing is gonna change even if you say it. The thing that’s not gonna change is this, that it’s just gonna be good, okay if you get that.”

She said it. Then I saw a car. I knew that was him. He was not gonna be okay with that. It is just obvious now that it is

“Mom, look who is there.”

“I know that there is something that is behind it and there is just no way that I am gonna tolerate it. I am going to kill whoever he is. They are not gonna go away so easily. I won’t let that happen.”

She said it but then I looked at her and then tried to calm her down, “Don’t worry about that, okay. Just relax. I will see it the way I want it to be. That’s it.”

I said it and then I made my way to my room. I lay down on the bed and then rested for a while. I had to talk to Myra. I just left a message for her to leave me in a cage before college.

Next day

I got up and then made my way to the cafe where he was already there. “Ohh thank god that you came. I was about to leave. What is it to tell me quickly, as you have already wasted my time?”

I looked at her. I bent close to her, looked around me and then said “You have to do something, you have to make sure that you will always have your eyes on her, she is gonna do something that is not gonna be good and that may also cause harm to her.”

I said to her and then she looked at me, “Look Devin, I know that you are a vampire and that is the reason that you don’t want her to be close to her, but she doesn’t have any idea about that. That’s it, listen, don’t worry about it at all.”

I looked at her and then said “She knows that I am a vampire now and that is not hidden from her now.”

As I said, the coffee that she was having just came out of her mouth. “I am sorry that I am sorry, but how come she knew about it and, wait, she was with you last night s**t she had this arms in her arms. That burn made something happen.”

“Yes, she knows because she was inside, the guy in the forest, and then it was burning to burn her. I just had to take it. That’s why it just happened.”

“God she knows about it. Still, she has not told anything to anyone. I just can’t believe this at all. Woah damn it man, how come she is still in shock? That’s why.”

She was just talking. Now one thing is confirmed, that it’s in their genes that they are like that talking community.

“Wait, she doesn’t want to give up on me by any chance. I tried to make her understand but she was not ready to understand it at all, she didn’t want to leave me at all.”

I just said it and then, I just looked at her. She was just shocked. Didn’t she wanna say anything at all?

“What is it? Just look at me look I just don’t know, but this can’t happen. She has risked herself once now. I don’t want that to happen again and again. I don’t want that.”

She said it like I wanted, that it’s not the case that I want, is it? “Look, this is not how it is. I also don’t want that. That’s why I'm telling you to do me a favour and make sure that she doesn’t do any of the stupidity at all.”

I said. I hope that she will be able to do that. I just hope that it will not happen this way. I just hope that she will be able to do the stuff clearly.

“Okay, cool, I will and now I have to be more careful. I don’t know how come she is gonna be okay with that. The last time she did that. I mean when I learned that she was just so shocked and actually traumatised and amazed, shocked that Penelope was just weird. Honestly, she is just weird. How come she is not scared of you?”

She said and then started to laugh. I laughed at it and then I smiled at it. I just didn’t get it and then I saw that. I have to be more careful. I can’t completely trust her. She’s still childish. I have to do something.

“Look, I want to let you know that it’s gonna be fine if you get that, and I am gonna be good and things will just be great, okay. So just don’t worry about that I am a pro now.”

She said, then I looked at her, “Look Myra, it’s not easy werewolves are involved in this and that’s too risky, so just make sure that you will not do something that will be bad. Do okay, just make sure that she doesn’t get close to them.”

I said to her as she heard it. Her eyes just widened “What do you mean by that? I don’t understand that at all. Look, I want to let you know how you got that. I just don’t understand that at all. How come they have them?”

“They are back and they have actually never gone.”

“Mom was right that she should never have come back. What had this just happened? How come this could happen? I just didn’t know that my father was also there, and he is now on his death bed. Look... Look. Look. Look, look, let me tell you. Don’t let anyone else know.”

She took a deep breath. I could clearly see that she was in fear and in a lot of tension. “Yes, I will make sure, but at the same time, I have one question: that they were the ones who tried to kill her that time .”

I nodded at her. “s**t I don’t know what please, I don’t want to lose my daughter, please just take care of her please.”
