Xavier found himself beside a woman in the wedding gown.He was holding her hand.He stared at her and realized it was Xue.Xue was looking at the old man in front of them.Xavier didn't notice the old man chanting words foreign language.He's still staring at Xue.
It was not until his left wrist hurts.Xavier looked at his left wrist while feeling the pain his mark that suddenly appeared.Xue also looked at her left wrist.Their marks are shining so brightly that the glow can be seen by the people around the huge church.A lot gasped in awe when they saw golden lights began to circle Lia and Xavier.The people are wearing aristocrats clothes.They felt envy.
Xavier frowned while staring at the mark that suddenly appeared in his wrist.This was the reason why he and Xue keep coming back to life and experiencing repetition.
He looked at the old man chanting.The source of this mark.His vision suddenly went blurry.He couldn't see the face of the old man until he was taken out of his dream.
Xavier woke up from his dream.Xavier sat down and looked at the window.It was still night time.He got out of his bed and went to the kitchen.
He saw Xue drinking a glass of milk at the living room.Xue saw him and continued doing what she's doing.
"Why are you still awake?",he asked with a frown and sat beside her.They just come back from her competition.She's probably tired yet she's still awake.
Lia put down the glass of milk at the table.
"I had a dream.Honestly, I've been dreaming about dying.I was a daughter of a general.My life seems different because I have a step mother and step sister.Their faces are blurry.I keep dying because of them. Tonight I dreamed about you.In that dream you are wearing army clothing.The people are wearing a not modern western clothing.You comforted me that you'll come back safely because of the mark.It feels like it's my past life and the mark already existed in our past life.", Lia said.
Xavier frowned and remembered the old man's clothing chanting in his dream.It also seems to be not modern western clothing.
"I also had a dream too just now.We are in a church.You are wearing a wedding gown and I was holding your hand.An old man in front of us is chanting foreign language.He casted a spell on us and a mark appeared on our wrist.I just didn't see his face clearly and I woke up.I think we willingly made him cast a spell on us."
Lia was shocked but she remained silent.If their dreams are really their past lives, why are the two of them willingly wanted to experience repetition after death?She felt like it was crazy.Whhat was thee reason?
She wanted to ask Xavier 'why did we do that?' but she didn't.She felt like it was useless to ask because he also doesn't know.
"Since when did you start dreaming?", she heard Xavier asked.
"Five days ago.Every night.", she answered.
"Let me know if you had a dream again.Wake me up and we'll talk about it.", Xavier said.The dreams need to be talked about.It might give them answers as to why this is happening to them and why did they willingly do it.Maybe they could stop these curse or blessing if they wanted to by exploring their dreams.
"What if u will not wake up.Should I just keep knocking on your door.What if we'll talk about it in the morning.", Lia asked.She doesn't want to keep knocking at his door.She'd rather sleep.She values the time of her sleep or else her heart would feel a tight grip all day.
"No.Dreams are easy to forget.I will not lock my door from now on.You can enter my room.", Xavier said and took her glass of milk at the table and took a sip then smirked when he thought of something.
Lia was speechless.He took her glass of milk and even took a sip!What he did was an indirect kiss!That glass was supposed to be hers!
"When that time comes how about you'll sleep with me?", he said with a smirk while looking at the speechless Lia.Her eyes are following the glass of milk he was holding.
Lia processed what she just heard and looked at him and then her eyes slightly went wide and her face went red.Her heart is also beating loudly.
"Shut up.", Lia said.She felt uncomfortable.
Xavier always teased her and her heart would react beating very loudly.She doesn't like it.Not now.She's not ready for love.Xavier also never confessed his feelings.He's probably just playing by teasing her.She tried to think of another topic to avoid being teased further.
"Henry chatted with me .We'll be celebrating our win by having lunch tomorrow.Do you wanna come? I'm going to tell my brother too.You're free tomorrow right?"
"Yes."Xavier answered.
Lia sighed."That's great.", she said.
"Why?"
"I won't feel uncomfortable when you're there when that time comes.Henry invited his circle of friends from the upper class."
She had never interacted with Henry's friends which is also the friends of Eiser.Even if she saw them back at convenience store when Eiser approached her, they never interacted.Her eyes are always dull before and seems unapproachable.If Xavier goes with her she'll feel safe and comfortable.Xavier's stoic personality calms her greatly unlike her brother who's overreactive and overprotective.
Xavier couldn't help but to smile and teased her again.He likes teasing her.He likes seeing her face whenever she is teased.Her face was kinda cute.
"Heh.Is my wife getting used to my presense?Xue, how about we'll sleep together?My grandfather is urging me,you know.If u don't want to do it tonight, my bedroom is not lock.You are always welcome to sleep with me."
Lia's eyes widened and her face became red.Sleep with him?She suddenly remembered her sexual dreams with him.In that dream, she kissed him back in hunger.Ahhhhh!!!!!Right now,she felt like her heart was about to burst.
"S-S-Shut up!You know what, I-I'm going!",Lia said and hurriedly stood up and leave.Wife?!Who is he calling wife?!They're not married yet!How dare he ask her to make babies with him because his grandfather wanted a grandchild.She's not even that old enough!
She hates to admit it but Xavier is really handsome, hot, sexy and attractive but that's just all!She'll never let herself fall in love again.She's also not sure whether he'd catch her when she falls
in love with him.Thinking about love is a dangerous thing.She doesn't want to experience the pain of betrayal again.She rather wants to guard her heart.
Xavier chuckled."Xue, think about it, okay?My bedroom always welcome you."
Lia just walked away hurriedly while feeling annoyed.She's trying to control her heart.She hates how his playful tease affects her greatly.She trying to control herself.She'll never sleep with him.She doesn't even love him.She'll just focus on her studies.
The next day, Xavier and her brother went to the restaurant where she and Bill ate lunch before.When they arrived the others are already there.Eiser was not invited.Henry didn't invite him so the others didn't invite Eiser too.
The lunch was harmonious.It's not awkward and Lia would laugh very often.Including her brother.All this time, Xavier would look at Lia often especially whenever she laughed.The others noticed it.Naftali also noticed but he just let Xavier.Lia was the only one who didn't noticed it.
It was late at night again.Lia is sleeping but she's dreaming heavily.She was staring at the window inside her dream.A maid came inside the castle room with pastries and a cup of coffee.Lia silently took the cup of tea and took a sip but Lia dropped the cup of coffee soon after.
The coffee stained her clothes and the cup fell on the floor.She suddenly felt difficulty breathing and shortness of breath.She coughed hardly.A blood came out from her mouth.Her eyes widened when she tasted the rusty flavor of blood.She touched her mouth to check if it was blood.She was stunned when she saw a blood stained her gloves.Her eyes even went blurred.She looked at the maid and was surprised it was Eloise wearing an evil smile.
"Sister.", Eloise uttered with a smile.
She was stunned.Her irregular heart rate became worse and Lia fell down on her chair as she coughed.She struggled to look up at Eloise standing but her eyes became blurrier.Finally, her heart stopped.
Lia gasped and caught her breathe.Lia looked around and realized she was in her room and was just dreaming.Her body trembled.The humans in her previous dreams have blurry faces but the maid she saw this time doesn't have blurry face.It was also Eloise.Even in past life she killed her.
Lia rushed and got out of her room.
'Why?Why was Eloise there?Why did she call me sister?Is she my step-sister in my past life? Why?Why does she keep hunting me?'
She doesn't know why but right now, she couldn't control her emotions.She was crying.Her tears kept falling down.She used to control her emotions but it was as if her soul is in agony.She felt as if she experienced something more in Eloise's hands.She felt distressed and uncomfortable.It was as if her heart is being gripped.
Lia opened the door of Xavier's bedroom hurriedly and went inside.She saw him sleeping peacefully under his plain gray blanket.She walked heavily towards Xavier.She hugged Xavier's stomach without hesitation and sobbed.She cried all her hearts content.She felt that it was unfair.Eloise was in her past life and also in her present life.If she kept dying in her past life under Eloise's hands.She felt miserable while imagining how much she had suffered in her past life to make her soul cry in agony.She probably died multiple times.She knows herself.She was not a person who hurt others.She was not a person who can do revenge.Why is it so unfair?She was mistreated in her past life and also in this life.Eloise is also in this life trying to kill her.Even in her past life, she was bound to be killed early.Is her life really that dispensable?Why did god even bother to create her?Why is god so unfair?
Xavier woke up and panicked.He immediately sat down and held Lia's face with both of his hands.She was crying while looking at him.
Lia then realized something.
'It was not just me but also him.He keeps dying because of me.Why is god so unfair?'
Lia cried even more in grief.
"Shh shh.It's okay.It's just a dream okay.", he comforted her in panic.Seeing Lia crying badly, he was anxious and in pain.He wrapped his arms on Lia's weak body and grabbed her on his bed.His arms are wrapping on Lia's hips.Lia wrapped her arms on his shoulder while still crying.She couldn't accept the fact that Xavier also keeps dying because on her.Their souls are connected to each other even in their past lives.
