Midnight Silence

Here is the third story about Andrew and Sofia. Please read. Enjoy! Oh, and this is a nano-story: free write this time.I walked down the dark alley, mindless and quite disturbed.

Lately, the memories of Sofia and what I had done to her rang in my head and didn’t fade.

And also, the curse was on my mind as well. How to break it, I wondered silently. I knew how I cursed myself—by killing my love, but how was I to break it? Maybe, I added after a second thought, there isn’t a way to break it. Maybe I really was doomed to walk the earth for all eternity.

A faint glimpse of something caught my attention: a light blue blouse, with a pair of jeans, and little pink strapless shoes—the outfit that Sofia had worn when I killed her. I gaped.

Then I followed the ally all the way until I rounded a corner—my mind wasn’t functioning right, but my body was following the “girl” thinking it was Sofia.

And then I rammed right into a wall. I fell back, stunned. I wasn’t hurt—no, vampires didn’t hurt that easily—just dazed. That wasn’t Sofia. It never was. I was just imagining things. Sofia was dead. And I was the one that killed her.

I was lying down on the grass, in the park that I had killed my Sofia. After a while, I got up and walked to the cemetery, letting my feet lead me there. After my last visit with Sofia, I hadn’t been able to leave the town.

So I walked through the gates and weaved my way through the gravestones until I finally reached the one I was heading for.

I knelt down in front of her gravestone and glanced at the writing on it.

“Sofia, my love,” I murmured softly.

“I am so sorry. It was wrong of me to be with you—I knew from the start that I would be all wrong for you, and look who had to pay in the end. You.

“Even if,” I spoke even softer, “You should never forgive me, I think I am willing to…forgive myself. I will forever be remembered that your death will be my entire fault, but I think that finally I will be able to let lose some of that guilt that I have been holding on for so long.

“Your death…it will be forever painful to me, as your murderer, but I think I finally found out that it was something that was meant to happen. Something that Fate had planned for you.

“This will be the last time I will visit you for a while—and maybe perhaps the last time for forever if I get my way. I will go and search the earth for a way to rid myself from this earth.

“I don’t belong here—I never did.” And with my last words, I stood up, preparing my journey.

But then a strong gust of wind blinded me for only a second. But when I opened my eyes, what I saw in front of me was a sight that made me believe I was in heaven.

Sofia.

She was just like how I had always remembered her to be—brilliant black hair, with her beautiful blue eyes.

She smiled at me, which made my undead heart leap.

And then I felt as if I wasn’t part of the earth anymore. With every passing second, I felt as if I was slowly disappeared.

Suddenly, I knew why.

I had broken the curse. By simply forgiving myself for the accident, I was able to free myself from the curse.

It took me around 500 years to break the curse, but finally, I could be with my love again.

I walked toward her, took her hand, and set off.

So, did you like it?

I know it's kinda a stupid way to break the curse, but...it was on my mind.

Please review!
