Chapter 334: Dragons Are Scary

That night Celestinia had her seals broken but a part of herself had died, she had run back into the forest the moment she regained her powers but the domain that remained there was no longer excited, nothing was left, deep down Celestinia knew that the boy she loved had died but she refused to give up, so she searched and searched to the point of madness.

She searched for a whole of a month but she failed to find anything, a great sense of depression hitting her as she almost took her life, it was only with the intervention of the Dragon Emperor that she was saved and to keep her mind sane, all the memories of the boy were sealed away by him, making her normal.

Austin POV:

"She pushed me in, leaving me for dead and I would have been if it wasn't for...."

I spoke stopping at the last, hiding the reason for my survival, my eyes turning towards the hidden Celestinia who was looking at me with a piteous look, clearly hiding the raging feelings within her, knowing not where to begin,

"Wasn't for?"

Celestinia asked to which I shook my head, unwilling to answer,

"I'm sorry but that's a secret that I myself can't reveal"

Speaking so I leaned back into the chair, my image turning that of a tired man, my eyes gazing at the air as I lay,

"Do you still feel anything for her?"

The disguised Celestinia asked, she had a caring friendly face as she touched my hand above the table, to which I went deep in thought before answering,

"I don't know, deep in my mind somehow everything about her actions afterward looked a bit unreal but it still doesn't change the fact that she threw me to death"

I replied and as I did I could see the light of hope lighting up within her eyes, here I was throwing her a chance, as long as she can prove that everything she did wasn't 'her', maybe she could gain back my favor, this would keep her occupied enough, her attention mostly on the game of making me love her than trying to kill off all the girls at my side.

This was the better choice as I could desire how long she will be in my hands, play along with the plots she will send my way, while slowly erasing my anger towards her, this will be her role till I say so, until I know when she will explode, unlike my other girls it's impossible to keep a track on her, even thinking about it is stupid,

"Does that mean she hasn't completely left your heart?"

Celestinia asked with a curious yet angry expression, the perfect example of a friend angry for you,

'She's a good actor'

I mused as an expression of hesitation filled my face, a great battle taking place in my mind before which I raised my hands and answered,

"I truly don't know"

My face fell along with my shoulder but that didn't last for long as I regained my spirits,

"It doesn't matter, because now I have a girl I love and she truly loves me back, the things of the past shall stay in the past"

As I said these words I could see Celestinia's face darken for a moment before which it regained back into a smile,

"That's good, after everything you went through, you deserve a happy ending"

"Thanks, it was good talking to you but I have to go now"

I spoke as I stood up, giving Celestinia a nod of gratitude I started to walk out of the room, my back straight, not looking back at all.

Third Person POV:

'Don't go'

Celestinia called out within her as she saw Austin walk away his back to her, while her inner self refused to let him go, her heart constricting within herself, a great unbearable pain filling her, the loss and hate towards herself breaking her.

Even though her memories were sealed deep inside her the memories still existed, perhaps it was because of this that she was soo attached to Austin she had met, deep within him she felt a sense of closeness, and the moment Austin had called her Celes, the memories that were sealed came bursting forth, filling her mind and body, within seconds everything filled her and it was as if time had never passed.

One can't even begin to imagine the feelings that had passed through Celestinia, joy, sadness, guilt, happiness, desire, and most of all........obsession, the pain of loss had hit her hard, very hard, dragons by nature were possessive but for Celestinia the things that she went through tripled her obsession, her mind twisting and turning in relief and desire.

The moment Austin called her name, everything had clicked for her, everything became much more clear, the guilt that had been locked up had finally been released and she knew what she had to do, as long as just a hint of Austin's love for her from the past exists she will do everything within her power to get him back.

Before her memories were sealed and when she lost him, she would always dream and think, what was the face of the boy she love? who was he truly? and did she know everything about him? and now she knew the face of her love but ironically he was now far away from her grasp, she felt her heart being ripped apart when Austin looked at her with dislike or hate,

'It's not over...'

Celestinia mused, she wasn't one to give, the pain in her heart will only push her forward, she will get Austin's love back, she knows she will but soon the biggest obstacle in her path filled her mind,

'Scarlet.....'

A complex feeling filled her heart, soon her obsession and desire fought with her feelings but it didn't last for long as an answer soon reached her,

'Scarlet has to die'

She firmed but she couldn't do it now, her plans must be flawless, such that Austin might never ever find the truth, she knows they are in love and this was twisting her insides just the thought of her mate holding another hand was causing deep anger within her, a desire to kill was burning but she held back.

Now was not the time, right now she lacks his love, Celestinia knows he just has some lingering emotions which might disappear at any time, so her plans must be absolute, no mistakes on her part should take place, and she will rightfully earn her love back,

'Maybe after Scarlet's death, I could come close to him as a dear older sister, comfort him at his hard time, getting more close'

Celestinia planned, she couldn't act now, for now, she would leave her love to Scarlet, her main plan will be to get Austin back, to make him see the truth,

'I am never letting you go, you are mine!'

Celestinia planned as she saw Austin walk away.
