“How did you find me? No, the question should be, what are you doing here?” Anne stood up and stared at her sister who was looking back into her eyes.
“Do you remember our parents, Anne? Do you not blame me for their death?” Hazel, who had appeared in the room out of thin air, did not give a glance to Anne.
Her gloomy eyes stared at the dark sky with a lost look on her face.
“They tried to kill you and died in the process. Why would I blame you? I blame them for not loving the girl they gave birth to just because of their eyes.
I did not care what others thought about you, but they were your family yet they did not take your side!” her voice was blaming. She had thought that she had already gotten over the past, yet when she remembered about the past, it made her suffocated and angry.
Only she knew how much Bell had suffered in the past due to her looks. Continuous rituals were performed on her and experiments were done with her blood.
They cut her chest apart and pulled out her heart to make sure that she had one. Anne closed her eyes! Only the thought of suffering through all that made her shudder, yet Bell never complained in the past.
She just ran away from there and sealed her powers by herself. How painful it must have been to give up on all your powers to live a normal life but even then, the god did not show mercy on her, she was captured as a slave.
“Why are you trembling! I should be the one who is complaining!” Hazel chuckled when she saw how Anne’s face turned red with anger and she trembled with rage.
The glass she was holding while Hazel entered turned into dust due to the heat she was emitting unconsciously.
“It is only because you never complained. And now you are asking me, should I blame you?
Of course, I blame you. I blame you for accepting death. I blame you for leaving me alone! I blame you for not taking revenge when you have enough power to do so.” Anne’s chest was heaving up and down and hands were clenched and unclenched to keep it in, yet she could not.
Hazel continued to stare out of the window, yet she could feel the strong emotions coming from Anne. but she could not relate to them.
She had only blurry memories and a figment of memories. She was sure she had sealed her own memories so that she would not suffer from the pain again.
But that had made it difficult for Hazel to feel herself as Bell they are looking for in her.
“An! What if I say that I am not the Bella anymore that you are looking so desperately for? What if I say that I am Hazel now?
I do not remember the pain you are talking about and I did not want to feel it again. You have been part of my life too. Can we..” She knew that she was being too greedy.
Anne had waited for her for years. She had accepted the job of her maid so that she could be with her.
She had suffered alone for so long, yet after getting the seal broken, everyone must have expected that she would be Bella again.
Hazel knew that she was not only running away from Rafael but the trembling voice of his that was full of emotions when he called her Bella.
She was running away from her past!
Her life never had any meaning. She just wanted to live but now..! Hazel closed her eyes as she felt something was clawing her chest and the pain was getting unbearable.
It was worse than she had felt when she was getting killed.
She felt a warm pair of hands wrapping on her shoulders. And a head leaning on her.
“I love you as you are. So, you do not need to burden yourself with the past.
I am happy that you are not hiding in the darkness of the past but want to enjoy the sunshine you are getting in this life. That life was not worth remembering anyway.
You were my sister in the past, but now that you are Hazel, I am senior to you and boss you around. Would it not be more beneficial to me who only got dominated in the past?” With that she moved her hands and started to tickle Hazel again who was about to cry but then started glaring at Anne instead.
“Do not forget that I am your mistress. Hmph. I should be the one ordering you! And..” Hazel took a deep breath, “and I want to order you now.” Anne, who was laughing, stared at her hesitant face and her smile turned stiff.
Hazel only hesitated when she made a mistake. “Did something happen with that vampire? You know I have the power to kill him? If you want, I can teach him a good lesson to worry about.” sparks already started to form in the tips of her fingers as she said so before Hazel could shake her head.
“No! It is about Lucian. Do you remember the kid who always followed me?” Anne nodded, unsure of what had happened.
The kid was too emotional and caring and she could feel that he had feelings for her sister but she did not pay much attention since he was just a kid.
Wait! Anne’s eyes widened with horror. “Oh my, did that obsessive vampire kill this kid out of jealousy? I can not revive the dead but if he is only fatally injured, I can treat him.
You do not need to ask for a favor for that. But let’s hurry, he would not have much time.“ Anne held Hazel’s wrist and was about to teleport them when Hazel squeezed her wrist.
“No! I destroyed his core and made him human. Now I want your help in protecting him.”
“Ehh!”
