Chapter 105 - I Hate You
RECOMMENDED SONG : You Broke Me First By Conor Maynard ~~
Athena gasped loudly staggering backwards few steps and paused abruptly at her spot until her breathing turned unsteady.
The rain continued heavily soaking drastically their frozen figures who stood quietly holding their own scars.
Ethan kept staring at her face that had turned pale as soon as his words escaped through his lips..
He was right... his visions were all right..!
The pain inside his heart turned so unbearable that he didn\'t know how to ask her anything further. Every memory shared between them started shattering into pieces inside his heart.
It could be their beautiful memory but it turned out to be his most sinful pleasure that he had ever done.
Even though he didn\'t say anything else except her name along with surname,Athena had already assumed that Ethan had seen through her past and found out everything.
From the dark sky, the rain continued mercilessly but the boy didn\'t show any sign of getting up as if he didn\'t know his existence anymore.
Athena held back her sobbing before slowly approaching near him to lift him up while calling out nervously,
" Eth.. Ethan..."
As soon as her hands came across his range, it was shoved away ruthlessly saying,
" Don\'t touch me..."
Athena staggered backwards abruptly at his raged tone as she looked up finding his wrath covered face.
Ethan managed to say barely clenching his fists tightly,
" Why... why did you lie to me? why?"
Athena choked knowing that he wouldn\'t believe her words still replied truthfully,
" I.. I didn\'t lie...I.. just didn\'t reveal the truth and really wanted to help you cause I owe Edward.."
" Don\'t fucking call out my brother\'s name from your filthy tongue, Athena Richards", Ethan shouted hauling up from the ground as his eyes turned bloodshot.
The blue veins of his forehead appeared so vivid over his soaking skin that had turned more smooth. His whole silhouette was emitting a dark aura that could destroy heaven and earth right at this moment.
Athena shut up her mouth immediately and didn\'t know how to make him believing her sincere words.
Suddenly Ethan laughed bitterly but his laughter stabbed in her heart so deeply that her lungs felt suffocated at this cruel torture.
He gazed at her face deeply with an unreadable expression and asked coldly,
" How are you feeling after ruining my brother\'s and my life?"
Athena squeezed her eyes shit until managed to say briefly,
" I.. I\'m sorry.. I.. I really loved him Ethan, belive me or not.."
Ethan chuckled lightly letting his tears falling down,
" Love? Do you know how does it feel? Tell me, do you know? "
Athena didn\'t know how to answer thus she hanged down her head focusing on the waterline that was passing through her feet blankly.
The following moment, Athena cried out in astonishment as her back was pressed harshly against a big stone behind.
The stream of waters were dripping down from his hairs symmetrically as he gazed through her pained face viciously through the amidst of heavy rain.
He emphasised each one of his words looking through her guilty eyes,
" You know what is love?"
He shouted on her face aggressively while continuing punching the stone behind her back continuously,
" This is what called love that I fucking want to kill you now but I am ending up hurting myself.. You deceived me just like my brother.. Again.. again.."
Athena closed her eyes shut as the breaking noise of stone started roaming in the heavy air. She started sobbing hard and replied repeatedly,
" I didn\'t mean hurt you.. I didn\'t... I didn\'t.. "
The big stone finally broke down under the hard punches of Ethan\'s fist as he pulled Athena closer to his soaked body.
He grabbed her chin harshly and forced her eyes to meet him roughly,
" Tell me, what we have done to your family Athena? Just tell me.. Your brother has captured my sister for what? Are you guys fond of playing with us or habituated to use our innocence, tell me?"
Athena sutured while sobbing tremendously,
" Ethan.. pl.. please calm down and listen to me once.. "
Ethan laughed blurting out in disbelief,
" So that you can trick me again? "
Athena shook her head vigorously and said looking through his fired eyes,
" No. I just want to punish the murders trust me.. I.. "
" You are the murderer ", Ethan accused sternly making her whole body turning into a frozen cube.
Athena stared at him disbelieving and subconsciously hoped that Ethan wouldn\'t blame her at least.
Watching her fell in dense silence, Ethan continued grasping her shoulders more hardly,
" You are the reason that my brother had to die leaving us alone. Yes, you are the reason Athena Richards. You just didn\'t kill him, you have broken our whole family. Do you know what happened after he left us? My mom never loved us like before. She has turned into a living soul.I have lost my brother, sister, mom everyone just because of you.."
Athena couldn\'t bear his words anymore as she shouted back loudly,
" I have lost my child too, Ethan.. Not.. you... "
Ethan cut off her words and replied ruthlessly,
" You don\'t deserve to be her mother. It\'s great that she has d... "
PAK!
A hard slap of rage fell on his skin suddenly as he looked up in disbelief. Athena was gasping and panting heavily as she stated gritting her truth,
" I hate you...I hate you Ethan Chole.. "
Ethan smiled bitterly and nodded releasing her arms,
" I know.. you never loved me, how will you hate me then? Hate, you can do as much as you want. "
Athena choked biting down her bottom lips until it turned bloody.
Turning around, Ethan caressed through his messy hairs roughly and mumbled,
" I should have understood that vampires can never love anyone without any motive... I should have known... Then.. Esme.."
In a moment, his gaze turned furious once again before turning back to face Athena swiftly.
For the first time, Athena felt shuddered under his burning gaze as she gulped down her saliva nervously.
Taking to hasty steps in front of her, he pulled her arms harshly before swearing,
" Mark my words Athena Richards. From today onwards, we are nothing but just enemies in each others eyes. You wanted to go away from me, didn\'t you? Fine, I\'m letting you go for the whole life. But you and your brother will repay for everything that you have done to us. I will smash the whole vampire world if he doesn\'t give me my sister back. I will kill every single vampire who have killed my brother.. I will let you feel how I felt when my brother was killed without any trace. Even if I find at the end of the day that you were behind my brother\'s dead, I will kill you too.. "
He choked and added whispering,
" Then I will kill myself.. "
Athena looked up with her aching heart.
Athena was mentally prepared for everything that he had said just now. But the last few words sent shiver in her spine as she asked muttering,
" What... what.. do you mean by that...? "
Ethan replied coldly loosening his grips,
" Tell your brother to be prepared for a war. Ethan Chole will be coming to conquer the world."
Athena gasped and begged holding his arms,
" No, Ethan please calm down. You don\'t have to do this.. He doesn\'t know anything about Edward.."
Ethan jerked off her hands and shouted,
" But you knew.. you knew from the beginning but you still played with my feelings."
Without wasting no more time, he turned around and started walking into the valley ignoring her hysterical screamings,
" Ethan.. please don\'t drag my brother into this.. Ethan please trust me.. I did for... your good.. sake... Ethan.. please.. I beg you.. I beg you... please stop..."
Despite hearing her begging, he didn\'t pause a bit nor did spare a single glance..
From the nearby Bush, Siemus came out to hold Athena\'s knelt body that was sobbing and shouted constantly.
Siemus knew that this was over. Nothing could be mended now after everything. But still she felt happy that they didn\'t continue deceiving each others feelings any more.
Siemus knelt down beside her and placed her palms on Athena\'s shoulder gently as she continued mourning. After sensing Siemus\'s presence, Athena broke out into sobbing once again and hugged her tightly saying,
" I don\'t hate him Siemus.. I don\'t.. I just didn\'t want to see him getting killed like Edward.. I couldn\'t bear to loose him like Ethan..I really love him a lot.. I do.. He said that he let me go which I wished always.. then why my heart is in pain, Siemus.. tell me.. why?? "
Siemus couldn\'t find a word to console her anymore. Thus she could only hug her more tightly to give her warmth.
Perhaps it was their destiny to be hated by each others at the end of the day..
