Chapter 227: You’re Not Welcomed

Her eyes were red with dark circles beneath like she cried her heart out, her hair all cluttered and the looks she had on was one of fury and despair.

"You’re not welcome here..." she said in a monochromatic tone. "...Leave" she added gravity to it in a way she doesn’t have to repeat herself.

Was she seriously expecting me to leave? Leave?! While I have no fucking idea what’s going on and why they won’t let me see my female? She had no idea who she was poking on.

I took a step closer but I was mindful of the barrier, they may not know how to fight us but they can sure keep us away, we were unwanted whenever they put on that damn dreamcatcher, it was just that tiny thing that had so much power, that THING was keeping me away from Emma.

"Vanessa" I began in an unpleasant tone, she shouldn’t test me because I won’t have it. "What happened to Emma?"

She’s angry and she’s distressed but that doesn’t mean she should do this, we both knew I wasn’t gonna just leave, she may think she had her responsibilities towards Emma which I understand quite well but I had mine too.

She pointed at me. "I have had enough!" she began more strongly before pointing to the house. "My niece is in there fighting for her life..."

Like a storm was blown to my face, I paled. What does she mean? Fighting for her life? Was she hurt?! The price of the magic she used just how big is it? Why won’t she let me see her?

"What do you mean?!" Emilia asked quickly.

I could already see the tears breaking from her eyes. "I will not expose her to this... to you", she shook her head. "Enough"

The smell of despair, fury, and a strong devotion to protecting Emma, I could smell it all and it scared me because it only means Emma wasn’t just hurt, something more has happened and I have never been so illogical and troubled before, to the point my anger was gone and all that was left was dismay... I was desperate to see her, and I don’t mind begging. We were prideful creatures but none of that matters... none of that matters when it comes to my baby girl.

"Vaness-"

"JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE HER BE!" she screamed at me and broke into tears. "No more Dace no more! I don’t care whatever bond or what fucking tradition your people have I had enough!" she wailed. "Let her be, let her have her peace, god I can’t... I can’t" she held her head.

"She used blood magic," Owen said. "Something she shouldn’t have... she’s in a critical condition and they are not sure-"

"Enough Owen," Vanessa said with a sigh, calming herself but the turmoil of emotions still lay within her.

And I was just getting to the climax. My body within me had already died, my insides were numb as well as my movement, I stood like a statue, and my brain was in a moment of a shutdown.

"She needs all the medical attention she can get," Vanessa said sobbing as she wiped the tears away but they kept falling. "Your..." she sighed heavily as she tried to calm the tears that were about to storm her again.

"...Y-You here is not gonna help..." she began in a distasteful tone, she sounded like she hated me, hated everything, hated what happened. "...It never did and it never will. As her guardian I say you have no right to be here..." she said and her lips quivered. "...so leave"

"This is not right Vanessa, I know you’re in pain but you can’t deprive Dace of seeing her!" Emilia barked.

She sighed, before pinning Emilia down with her stoic expression. "I can," she said before striding back inside and slamming the door shut.

"Owen!" Emilia called him.

"I’m sorry" he mumbled.

"Owen" I found my voice and he faced me but I didn’t look at him, I had my eyes on the door. "How is she?"

He took a moment, it was like a damn five minutes of torture waiting for him to at least say something, anything that could bring my mind back from the depths of hell I was sinking into.

"Not good," he answered honestly. And that didn’t help because I was lost now to a point of no return.

"Look Dace, I have always hated you. But right now... just do the right thing and..." I noticed he chewed the inside of his mouth. "...leave" he spun and paced back inside and slammed the door.

That was when I felt it, a hot water droplet of a tear sliding from one of my eyes. Not of his words but of the pain that was becoming unspeakable, I felt like I was losing a part of myself. I felt like I was breaking and crumbling within myself.

"Dace..." Emilia began in a soft tone. I knew her routine... She wants to calm me down... But there was nothing, nothing at all that can stop this torture so I blur away.

I ran, I paced, I walked away, whatever you call it. I don’t know how long or how far because my brain was in a frenzy and I felt like any means of sane would leave me and I would become a madman.

I was slipping, I was spinning, I was breaking. I stopped, and I roared into the night, my lion was unhinged, I tried to shift and somewhat adjust the pain but no I couldn’t... the silver burned in my bloodstream but that pain was nothing compared to what I felt in my chest.

I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. They didn’t even let me see her, they deprived me, I don’t even know what state she’s in. I can’t even picture any of it, I can’t even hold my baby girl, I can’t even help her, I can’t even see her face, my female.

It was tormenting, I was hurt and I was sinking and the only thing that could save me was to see the maiden who stole my heart, the sweetness that I love, the girl I love.

And I can’t even see her, what greater torment than this...
