The Genie's Curse 26 Her Words, Her Vow

He growled smas.h.i.+ng his fist against the wall a single tear slipping from his eye before hiding away in his own arms.

"No, no." She continued to shake her head wanting to believe his words were a lie, "We'll always be together, always." Tsuru was about to break down in tears at seeing his own, feeling Keir's sweet embrace.

"If only it could be that way..." Keir's lips twitched slightly upwards but fell once again, "If only."

"It will, I know it will, we... we just need another genie, we can fix this we can be together, you and me!" She screamed out hugging him tighter and burying her face in his chest, "We will... we will..."

He lifted her face to meet his, "Hey it's ok Tsuru, I'll always treasure every second with you." He leaned in to kiss her, however, she panics at the moment and stumbled backward, "Not ready?"

"It's not that, I-"

She pressed a hand against her chest fl.u.s.tered at his actions feeling her cheeks heat up. A deep sigh escaping his lips, brus.h.i.+ng the tears of her face.

He stopped her, "We've got... time."

She watched him walk off and lean against the wall looking up at the ceiling, "Keme..." she started small, swallowing the lump in her throat, "I promise, no... I vow we will be together, you'll see."

A smile created on his lips hiding his face from her line of sight and a whimper escaping his lips, "I'll take you up on that."

Her whispers faded and crowd murmurs reached her ears

"Tsuru! I'm glad Keme, found you in time, who knows what could have happened." Allon, cheered placing an arm over her shoulders, "What were you doing anyway?" He asked casually but curious to know the reason why she ran off so suddenly.

"Huh." She stared at him realizing he was actually talking to her, "Oh, I don't really know... just got lost in the moment..."

He hummed knowing there was more to it, but knowing not to push his limit on her, "Lost huh, well be careful, you could have ruined your own plan." He emphasizes the word 'own'. Previously as soon as they had gotten out the car Tsuru got lost in her thoughts and also lost in the crowd.

While he watched Tsuru's expression slightly changed, Keme watched him hang his arm over her and felt like smas.h.i.+ng his head against the pyramid, "Alright, can we continue?" His voice came out bitter like he'd drinker pure lemon.

Tsuru looked over at Keme, "Sure." She fell back on Allon's words, 'you could have ruined your own plan' it's true, she could have. She was so lost in the past that she wasn't paying attention to the present. She needed to focus, she begged herself to focus but no matter what she fell back on those memories. Ones she once treasured and now d.a.m.ned to ever exist, d.a.m.ned herself for being so blind at reality.

Tsuru walked ahead and s.h.i.+fted away from Allon's hold. Finding another familiar figure slowing down his pace to walk beside her, "Angry at him or something?" Keme asked attempting to joke around. He had seen her distracted gaze while walking and questioned what could have caused it.

"No, it's just... never mind." She shocked her head trying to get rid of her thoughts.

"I'm sorry about before if that's it. Just forget about it, really I'm just talking carelessly."

"It's not that... it's just that... memories are the worst form of torture for me." She paused but felt him nudge his shoulder against hers, when she looked up he had a rea.s.suring smile on his face, "I can't remember things a that is supposed to be unforgettable... but my nightmares won't go away, they drag me around like a doll and throw me all over the place-" her voice shattered and tears began streaming down her face as she wept to try to brush them off, but more taking their place.

Keme rubbed her back ignoring the glances he got, "Tell me everything-"

Tsuru stopped him mid-sentence, "You don't need to hear this. I shouldn't have told you that." She brushed off the tears and controlled her emotions, "n.o.body needs to hear this, because soon enough it won't even matter. I'll make Keir pay and I'll be out of your life forever, you don't owe me anything anymore. You've already done a lot, and I'm very grateful, but that's it, nothing more. You'll be going your way and I'll go mine."

Her face growing cold and emotionless for those that didn't know her well. Although for those that did and cared they could see how angry and broken the look was, hidden away by a cold shoulder.

"It does matter, it matters to me." He grabbed her arm and placed her hand on his chest stopping, "I might not deserve to know, but please, don't keep this bottled in."

"So you can get to me, so I get betrayed again? I'm sorry if your feelings are true, but I can't risk it." She pushed him away and looked at Allon who stared at the two with a conflicted expression, looking from one to the other expecting one of the two to explain.

Allon walked over and stood beside Tsuru, making Keme clutch his fists as if ready to get done with him, "Will we really be continuing this trip, or do you two need a break?"

"No, we're done here. Do you know where we have to go Allon?" She asked breaking away from Keme completely.

"Yeah, come on I'll take you." While Allon dragged Tsuru away with him he spared a glance to look at Keme who gave him back a death glare. All his anger forming a threatening and cold aura around him, "Quickly now."

Soon enough they where by Khufu's s.h.i.+p admiring how well preserved it still was over the years. Tsuru was especially mesmerized by it forgetting everything she had been squabbling about with Keme, "Is this really-"

"Yes, it is his s.h.i.+p. Brings back memories huh?"

"You've got no idea... not all good ones though." She sighed strolling away from the s.h.i.+p and remembering her moment with Keme, the man was practically giving away the fact he held feeling for her, ones she couldn't return.
