SILVER-HEART Novel Chapter 9: A Perfect Death

Chapter 9: A Perfect Death

We remained in that position... his hand still gripping mine in a tight hold that it felt like my wrist couldn’t breathe now. Our faces inch apart and it got

more sweaty than I hoped. I have given him an answer so why haven’t he let

go? I don’t think I can bear this closure, mostly because I was uncomfortable by his presence, and also the dark aura that only I can see radiated off his body like a dark mist chilled my bones.

After what seed like minutes he tilted his head to the side with still no response. That was when fear built within ... does he know I lied? Can he tell? Is that why he’s silent? Maybe I shouldn’t have lied but it was a defense for , I don’t know what this man intends to do with ... but I would make my death quick before he would break

in any way. That was yet another promise I made to myself.

"We are here Master"

Like the spell was broken and the heavy air was covered with sothing more breathable he pulled away. And I was finally able to release a breath I was holding in.

Saying nothing he opened his door and stepped out, I figured that was a cue for

so I did the sa and I was dumbfounded by the area we were... it was nothing but a highland of trees, like the tropical part of the city with no house in sight. Does he live in the forest?

"Co Ava"

I jumped when he spoke to , he was before

until he started walking deeper into the woods. Reluctantly I turned to Severus who got down from the car.

"Go ahead Miss Ava, I’m right behind," he said only and more perplexity filled

as I turned my gaze back to the path I was supposed to follow so I took a step forward and a step turned to walk but on the way, I looked behind and still found Severus standing next to the car with no intention of coming, I thought he said he would be behind ?

I do not understand these people at all. So I kept my eyes forward and all questions flooded out of my head when I took in the view of the beautiful forest, the grasses were so green and the flowers sprouted out beautifully, I knew this city had beautiful wildlife, back at the orphanage there was a forest next to it and I always found comfort by being there, just sitting, humming to myself and watching the skies, it gives

nothing but peace.

"I do not care if you’re mute"

I brought my eyes to my owner who walked ahead of .

"I only care about your use"

My use?

He stopped and I did too.

The wind ca harshly blowing everything around us and I couldn’t help but stare in amazent as his long silver hair waved along with it, it was more beautiful in the highlights, and shiny, such hair shouldn’t exist but this man has it.

I gasped when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled

to him, I was kept between shock and awe and my eyes were broadened.

"Show

your worth"

My eyes trembled at his words but I was more stunned by sothing like a whirlpool of air forming behind him and turning dark with every spin. I was scared now mostly as he pulled

closer to it and I shut my eyes in fear awaiting the worse as we walked through it.

It felt like I was floating but I didn’t dare open my eyes because I thought I could actually fall to my death. But my owner’s hand was tightly secured on mine, they were so big and for so odd reason, I felt safe by it.

I only felt air blowing against my face until there was none and next it was sothing dropping on my face, it was soft like a... snow?

I opened my eyes, it was blurry at first but it beca clear and a gasp escaped . How was this possible? We were in the woods a minute ago and now it was snowing? Like the winter season? and that wasn’t enough to ease my amazent but the big gate before us and two lamp posts standing tall before the gate and the different weather there.

Warm weather, with the green grasses, embodied on the gate clean white iron, with sothing inscribed on it but I didn’t know what it said.

My awe ceased when my owner walked to it and I followed in extre awe and puzzlent.

The gates automatically opened the mont he got close to it, with the plants around it that acted as a lock slowly unwoven and making the gate shift backward. This must be so sort of dream, I must be dreaming or I must be dead because there was no way this could actually be happening.

It was a long walk on the concrete ground and the more we walked the more I got a closer view of the biggest building I have ever seen, wide and reaching the skies, the skies were bright... All sunny than the cold area we ca from, it was a whole new world, the building was shaped like a box, a continuous shape to the very top, and what made it more magical was the plants and flowers growing on the buildings and windows giving it a surreal view and the colorful birds settling on it.

At the center of the enormous compound was a water fountain sprouting shiny water and Water Lilies at the round mask of water. More birds chirped, it was so loud but also comforting.

It was so beautiful to the point I had to stop and just observe such a captivating sight that I never thought I would set my eyes on, the feeling in my chest of seeing sothing amazing that I thought I would never get to see.

And it caused a tear to slide down my cheek. If I’m dead then it was a perfect death and this is heaven...
