CHAPTER 59

In the same vein, she rushed towards him but unlike the last time, he did not move back but stood his ground. However, the plans she had for him was different.

Rather than reappearing as the fine lady that she was, she reappeared just the same way she looked when she died.

"Ahh!" This time around he was shocked beyond words and fell down on his butt.

"Oh, you hate my unlikely sight? Well, you made sure this was how I look, so why should you hate it now if you did not hate it then?"

"Go away."

"HOW DARE YOU?!"

The witch roared in anger. "Look at me. You must look at me. You bathed in the joy of my death, now you must enjoy the sight. Look, Vidor!"

"Why are you doing this to me? Why are you tormenting me?" Vidor finally asked but he tried not to see her. He was already tired of the torment he was going through with the nightmares and restlessness but now if he looked at her, he knew it would be worst.

"Remember Vidor, my last words to you." 

Saying this, she flipped her hand and the darkness dispersed to reveal the scene of old, one that was all too familiar to him and one he had soon come to dread and wished was a different tale.

"Deny it if you can. I would kill any woman I deem fit to. The world would be so much better without your species."

"Till now your hatred for women still runs deep. Can't you change?!" 

"Change… hehe…" he chuckled. "I, King Vidor of Etheria do not change."

"Fine then. The very species you hate, you would only end up falling deeply in love with one and when the time comes, you would feel miserable by your love for her," she proclaimed.

"Silence!" Vidor bellowed.

A wicked smirk appeared on her lips as she chose her next set of words carefully. "And the moment she decides to love you back, your doom will come."

"I said, shut up!" He stood up in anger and marched towards her with great strides.

"I curse you, Vidor. You would find love and love that same species you hate and that particular species would be your end. Remember, your DOOM!"

SWOOSH!

THUD!

She dropped dead on the floor.

She waved her hand and the scene dispersed again, bringing them to that darkness and void they were before.

"I see you have met her. Hmph!" she scoffed. "Do you think I would die and leave you just like that? No. I would torment you until I see your end. Relax, your time would soon come. Only then can I peacefully go to rest? The first witch has rested. I await the day when I and my kind"

She paused taking in a very deep breath. "When we can as well. Until then, it would give me great joy to come and torment you as you have tormented my kind. You would see me every now and then. I would watch you and make merry at your miserable situation. This is karma."

"I do not believe in karma!"

"This is karma. This is karma. This is karma. This is karma. This is karma…" Like an altorecorder, or a mantra she kept on uttering those words as they became louder and louder in his ears till he eventually jumped up and found himself rolling off the bed and onto the ground.

THUD!

Immediately he stood up from the ground and sat back down on the bed. For the first time in a long while, King Vidor has a very strong and terrible nightmare. It was one he tried to break free from but no matter what he did, he couldn't.

His chest rose and fell with each breath he managed. His eyes were wide open as realization dawned on him.

"No, dammit! Curse that witch! This is all a joke and just my mind playing its trick on me and nothing more."

He stood up again and walked towards the table in his room and quickly poured himself a glass of water.

A large gulp followed thereafter then the hard hitting of the cup when he was done. His eyes shone more in the barely lit room. It was like he was born again with so much light and fire stirring deep within him.

Some of the water he had hurriedly gushed down spilt at the corners of his lips. Using his left hands to wipe them clean, Vidor made his way to his balcony to see Era.

From where he stood, he could see the light still dancingly with glee in her brightly room. A part of him wondered if she was already awake by then. Then again, he couldn't know.

He let out a deep sigh, rubbing a hand down the length of his face as he inhaled the fresh morning breeze. He looked back in to the wall clock hanging on his wall in the room.

"Just bloody past 2 am and that witch had the gut to appear in my dream. Bloody hell! How in the world does she expect me to sleep now?!'

***

In the same vein, era slept soundly in her room. The physician did his best in ensuring she was far from harm and now she was safe and sound.

It had been a while since she lost consciousness and was unaware of all that was going on around her.

Her eyes moved in her sleep but she did not wake up. It looked like she was troubled but by what?

In her distress,  Aeverie stood up from the chair in which she sat and hurried over to her bed side. "Your majesty. Calm down, it is only but a dream. Please calm down, you are safe and sound."

While she said that, even from her heart she could not determine what would happen to the queen after she wakes up.

"I wish all things were okay just for your sake, my queen."
