SPELLBOUND

k.
He shook his head as he shot back at Gavriel.
”Shut up Gavriel.
You could only hear my thoughts, not hers.
You didn ’t see the look in her eyes those moments she was desperately trying to bring you back. ” His jaws clenched as he remembered her expectant eyes staring into his. 

”I know Evie.
You know her too. ” Gavriel calmly responded.
”And you never asked her, Gavrael.
Had you asked her, you would know – ”

”Enough! ” Gavrael ’s voice boomed in anger.
”Why the hell are you even saying this now? I am pretty sure you ’re jealous of me too, right? Don ’t you dare deny it.
You want me gone so you can have her for yourself. ”

”You ’re right.
I ’m jealous.
There is no way in hell I am not.
Even if Evie and the whole world tells us you and I are one and the same person, we both know we ’re not.
To us, we ’re two souls inside a single body.
Two souls that will never be one.
And I guess, we will both get jealous of each other like a pair of fools.
But… ” Gavriel paused.
”…believe it or not, I don ’t want you gone.
You ’ve suffered too much for her sake and until the end, you were even the one who saved her this time too… ” 

Gavriel ’s voice cracked a little as he said that.
It was hard for him to admit but he knew Gavrael deserved her more than him.
Without Gavrael, Evie might have… the thought made Gavriel clenched his fists tight.
He had been thinking about this for a long time now while he was confined in this prison.
He had decided that he would step back and give way in letting Gavrael stay on with her.
He was not giving up on her, but Gavriel just had this feeling that Evie would do something about him and Gavrael ’s situation.
Knowing Evie, she would definitely do something. 

Gavriel did not quite know how to feel about this, but he had faith that everything will eventually work out well for them.
He had faith in Evie and her love.
That was why he was willing to be the one who will stay back in the darkness this time until that day finally comes.
He told himself that he would not mind how long it takes.
Gavrael had stayed in this darkness for many years, suffering alone.
Therefore, it would not be fair for Gavrael to return here after another sacrifice. 

”That ’s why… ” Gavriel continued.
”Go back to her, Gavrael.
I believe the war is not over yet.
She needs you more than ever right now. ” 

Silence reigned between the two identical looking men for a long while.
Until Gavrael laughed, throwing his head back as if he could not believe what was going on.
He could only laugh.
Then he stopped and shook his head before he stared at Gavriel again. 

”You know what? I never once thought you would actually give way to me like this.
I see you ’re such a rational and sound minded version of me.
I could tell why Evie loves you so much… ” a sharp breath escaped him, then his gaze became serious and incredibly sad.
”I ’m not as calm and rational as you… I am very selfish too.
So, this kind of offer is something I could never decline but… ” He paused again as his voice shook a little as he continued..
”It ’s too late… it ’s too late now. ”
