Chapter Fifteen

Cassius

After I left Willow I had been alone with my thoughts. They should have been comforting to me by now, but I had spent so much time alone with them that they plagued me. There was something about the way Willow acted that had been off… or perhaps I was just becoming paranoid. She had a way of soothing me that was quiet gentle, and I longed to experience it again. I had to stop thinking that everything was going wrong. I had Willow, the girl I had been waiting for, and things were falling into place. I could do with her what I had done with nobody else, and no longer did I have to be alone here. She alone breathed new life into this place and I could remember what it was to be young again. I just had to get a handle on my mind, a mind that was fractured by the weight of all it had experienced.

I tried to push that all aside though, telling myself that it didn’t matter. It was all in the past. It had already happened and there was no changing it, no going back to do anything different. It had all happened before Willow had even been born, so what was the use in being worried about what she was going to think?

I did what I had to do. I did what was right.

But would Willow understand?

It didn’t matter. I wasn’t going to tell her. She only needed to know what I wanted her to know. I don’t care what the gargoyles were trying to tell me. They were mindless stone creatures and had no power over me. Willow was Willow and she was here to learn. I would help her achieve what she wanted and then we would see where it would lead us. Until then I would merely enjoy her company and her beauty. Her charm and flattery were unparalleled. She would not have been out of place at a ball, and there I am sure she would have won the attention of many suitors. They would have all lined up for a dance with her, and she would have been inundated with marriage proposals. If I had known her then it would have been the same story as it always was; beauty being attracted to wealth and the finer things in life. There was no room for love in a heart that longed for opulence, but perhaps I was being too harsh on Willow. Surely she deserved more credit than that? After all she had come with me here, showing far more bravery than most, and she had not shown the same weak constitution as Clea had.

Ah, Clea… sometimes the mind does turn to melancholy thoughts and wonders if things could have been better had I acted differently. The problem was that girl had a suspicious mind from the very beginning. She was never able to fully trust me, and she would not listen when I tried to explain things.
