Chapter 43: Affection
"Sometimes you just need to walk on predefined path that was selected for you"
*************************************
"Hehehe , You just shouldn't lie like this will."
Severus was flustered after he heard her statement and there was nothing he could do, so he just smiled
"Who said I am joking? Do you think I am joking?", Will asked with her brows raised.
It was evident that she wasn't joking.
Severus asked noworry for help but this time noworry himself was clueless so he just shrugged off.
Severus"...."
USELESS!
WHATEVER!
They both argued.
The girl was staring at Severus with her big watery eyes as if in fear that he will abandon her.
"Why are you staring at me? Stop it, please. Tell me why are you following me? Go wherever you want to go?"
"Eh!, I just feel like staring at you. Why? Do you feel uncomfortable? Where should I go? I have no place to go? "
"How can it be possible? "
Noworry contemplated the whole situation and after thinking on it, he came up with a logical explanation. As soon as he figured it out, he told Severus about."Severus, she is a will. Why do you think she would have people whom she would know? Where is she supposed to go? She probably doesn't have any idea."
"Eh! Then what are we supposed to do? I can't just allow her to follow me. I have my plans to look forward and mysteries to solve. I already have a lot on my plate, I don't want to take another headache"
Noworry kept quiet. Although he agreed with Severus, he still wasn't in favour to leave thew will here.
"Take her in Severus. She looks dumb. I don't deny that she doesn't have destructive power but if we befriend her, we can just use her."
"What do you mean?"
"Umm....I mean we can use her powers for our favour", Noworry explained after seeing his death glare.
"Use.....Don't you know I hate being used? In my previous life, I was duped and used till the time death didn't knock on my door. Do you think after experiencing that hell I would send anyone to suffer in the same hell? No, I won't do that. I don't use women for my benefits. A man who uses women for his benefits isn't a true man. I would never do it, even if it means easy success."
Noworry was stumped from Severus speech.
Sigh!
Some people just don't break their morals and principles.
Severus cleared his throat and turned his head to look at her.
Will was staring at him without blinking.
Severus"......"
"Will, I would be grateful if you don't stare at me, it makes me feel uncomfortable. "
"Okay", with that she started blinking her eyes but she still stared at him.
Severus"..."
Sigh!
What a dense girl.
"Tell will why are you following me? No first tell me, why did you showed this place to me and made me perform that spell?", Severus asked after taking a deep breath. These were his doubts which he wanted the answer for.
"I didn't follow you on my own accord but it was you who summoned me. The thing I am doing is related to my work so I can't help it. I need to follow you."
Severus was again shocked after hearing this.
"Wh....what? When did I summon you? What work are you talking about? I didn't summon you, not at all. Severus explained him hastily in case of any confusion.
"Severus you did. Why are you forgetting it? I don't have powers to free myself, until and unless someone with a cursed destiny summons me", She replied with a pout.
WHAT THE HECK!
CURSED DESTINY!
AGAIN THIS WORD.
"No, you are mistaken. I agree that I am the one who is fated to be cursed but as far as I remember, I haven't summoned you"
Will"........"
"Really, weren't you the one, who wanted to know about the mysterious spells and necromancy? It's you that have summoned me or to be more precise, it's your will that summoned me", Huphh.......
"Can you explain it clearly? This isn't making sense and please tell me your original name. I can't call you will every time."
She froze for a moment after hearing what Severus said.
Her name?
Her original name?
She didn't remember anything like this?
Did she ever have a name?
Did she ever had an identity?
Perhaps not. She was just a will, an emotion. She wasn't a living being nor dead. She was just will.
This realization made her heartbreak if she had any. She felt grieved and anger. Uneasiness surrounded her.
She choked while speaking, "I don't have any name. I am just a will. An entity without identity"
Severus pitied her. He could more or less empathize with her. The pain and uneasiness which she was feeling right now was something which he felt in his previous lifetime. To live as an unidentified person. No one to share anything. It was a Hell life.
Severus softened his voice and said," Stop crying. It's okay if you don't have any name, I will give you one. Okay?", He asked sweetly with a smile.
His smile was dazzling and in a daze, she nodded her head.
"Okay, so you are the will of the book, Spells of death so your name should be related to your nook. Umm.......mmm How about Desella? De=death and sells=spells."
She was stunned when Severus asked her question and in a daze repeated it,"Desella"
"Do you like it? Should we call you Desella?", Severus asked her when he noticed her tranced state.
Desella came out from her trance and grinned widely.
"I love it, Thanks Severus", she smiled brightly and in her happiness and excitement, she threw herself on Severus and gave him a tight hug.
Severus froze for a second after suddenly being hugged by a woman and later he cleared his throat, "COUGH.....it's okay"
Swiftly he crawled out from her embrace.
It had been so long since he was hugged by someone.
Severus didn't felt any harm from Desella, instead, he felt some affection for her.
It wasn't any romantic affection but it was pure.
"Since you won't leave me then come with me", Severus invited her.
Noworry didn't speak anything the entire time but when Severus invited him he was greatly shocked.
"Are you serious Severus? Why are you inviting her? What if she is only pretending to be all good? We can't trust her, can we?"
"We can't, that's why I have to test her", Severus said with a deep voice.
"Okay, but why are we going back? What about our plans?"
Severus looked at noworry and then glanced at Desella. Her clothes looked messy. Her white gown had wrinkles. Despite it being loose, her beauty couldn't be hidden. She wasn't a fat girl but had curves where she should have.
Severus frowned after looking at her and then he took out his outer robe and gave it to her.
"Wear this, we shall buy some clothes for you. Follow me"
Noworry"......"
Huh....Ignoring.
Hey, Hey what about her plans Severus.
You MOFO
Nowowry cursed.
Stop cursing noworry. Se is the only who can allow us to enter inside the castle safely.
We both will die if we try to cross the entrance.
For your information, if you haven't noticed it then the main palace is sealed by the heavenly seal.
