FINALE

🍂 Daphne’s POV 🍂

Day 1

I stood up from my bed and looked around

It’s my last day
I’ll die midnight today

I sighed as I walked of the room and went to the dinning

Liam and Aria was there but no one was eating

I greeted and sat down

“Let’s eat” I said as I started eating but Liam and Aria didn’t touch their food

I wanted to stop eating but am unexpectedly hungry so I continued eating

I can’t die with an empty stomach

“How am I gonna die” I asked Aria

“Midnight tonight, am gonna clear the barrier I put round the house against the Soul Hunters, then they’ll come for your Soul” she said and I nodded

“Here” Aria said giving me a paper

“That’s the address of your mom’s grave” she said

“Thanks” I said

I dropped my spoon and I stood up
“I’ll go pay her a visit now” I said

“Okay” Aria nodded

Liam stood up to follow me but I stopped him

“I want to go alone” I said and walked out of the house

I took a cab to my Mom’s grave

I sat beside it and touched the gravestone

“How are you Mom” I said

“We finally found a way to break the Curse and turns out I have to die, so I’ll be joining you tonight” I said as tears rolled down my face

“I thought I was strong Mom, that I could handle this, that I could die with no regrets but am breaking down Mom, I don’t wanna die, I want to stay alive with Liam” I said as I broke into tears

“Is it going to be painful? When the Soul Hunters come for my Soul tonight will it hurt? I guess it will since you scre-med while they were taking your Soul” I said as I cleaned my tears

“I wish we had more time to know each other, I wish both of didn’t have to die so soon, I guess this is it then, the end of the Hills”

“But I’ll miss Liam, I’ll miss him so much that it hurts to think about it, but I don’t have a choice I have to die for him to live” I said as I broke into tears again

I cried my eyes out as I spent hours by my mom’s grave

It was getting dark and I managed to stand up

I took a cab back to the house and met Aria in the sitting room

Immediately she saw me come in, she stood up and looked at me

“You cried alot didn’t you?” She asked and I slowly nodded
Then she hugged me

“Am sorry Daphne, am really sorry” she said as she patted my back and I broke into tears again

We finally disengaged from the hug and I looked around

“Where’s Liam?” I asked

“In his room” she replied

I walked towards Liam’s room and I opened the door

He was sitting on his bed and he looked at me, his eyes were red from crying too

I went to sit beside him

“Few hours to go” I said but he didn’t say anything

“Liam” I called and he looked at me

“I still have one more wish I’ll want you to fulfill” I said

“What is it? Just say it I’ll do anything you want” he said

“Promise me you’ll live a happy life after tonight, you’ll get a job, get married and have a children” I said

“I can’t Daphne” he said

“You have to Liam, you’ll have to live a happy life or my sacrifice will be in vain” I said

“You’ve become my reason for happiness Daphne, I won’t ever be happy without you” he said and tears rolled down my face but I quickly cleaned it

“Please Liam, it’s my last wish please fulfill it please or I won’t ever be happy with you Liam” I said

“Daphne?”

“Am serious” I said and he sighed

“I promise” he said and I smiled

“Thanks” I said as I hugged him

*******

It’s almost midnight and we are all in the sitting room

“Exactly at midnight, I’ll bring down the barrier and lead the Soul Hunters here” Aria said

“How will you stop them from coming for you guys?” I asked

“I’ll cast a spell round Liam and I, they won’t be able to come close to us” Aria said

“No need” Liam said standing up

“What do you mean?” I asked standing up to face him

“I can’t watch your death Daphne, I can’t watch and do nothing while you die, I can’t stay here when the Soul Hunters come” he said with tears in his eyes and I hugged him

“It’s fine, I understand, you can go” I said but he looked at me and then k-ssed me

“I love you Daphne” he said

“I love you too Liam” I said and he started walking out but I held his hand

“Remember your promise?” I asked

“Yeah, though it will be hærd, I’ll try my best to fulfill it” he said without looking at me, it’s obvious he’s crying

“Goodbye Liam, it was nice knowing you” I said but he didn’t reply

I heard him sniff as he walked out

I slumped down on the chair with tears in my eyes

This is it
The end

Moments later, the clock ringed and I looked at it

It’s midnight

“You should bring down the barrier now, it’s time” I said to Aria but she didn’t answer me
She was in tears

“Come on Aria, you’ve got to be strong, you know this have to be done” I said as I moved closer to her

But she didn’t say anything as she gave me a paper

“What’s this?” I asked but she didn’t answer me so I started reading through it

📃 Hey Daphne, it’s Liam, you are probably surprised at why am writing this to you but by the time you read this letter, I’ll probably be dead or about to die
I couldn’t let you go Daphne, I never planned to let you die, how could I when I’ve gotten to love you so much
I know you said if I try something like this you’ll kill yourself too but you can’t do that Daphne, or you’ll be taking two lives, yours and our unborn child
Yes Daphne, you are pregnant, I didn’t know at first too but remember when we found Aria unconscious in the study and you had hugged her when she said she’s sorry that it was all her fault?
She suspected you were pregnant when you hugged her and she told me, I told her to keep it quiet and confirm it first so she carried out one her spells to confirm it and she was right, you are pregnant. That was when I made up my mind not to let you die
But I didn’t tell you earlier cause I was afraid, I was afraid you’ll insist on dying even after knowing you are pregnant so I decided not to let you know till the last moment
Am really sorry for everything Daphne, am sorry for not keeping my promise but I also have one last wish, please don’t forget me, I must be a very greedy man right? But I really don’t want you to forget me, when our child grows up please tell him about me, about us
I love you Daphne, the moment I stepped into that house in the woods for first time I felt drawn to you, our souls called on to each other because our love started 500 years ago, I think you are the reincarnation of Aurelia, our love isn’t an ordinary one and even after my death, I’ll continue to love you
I don’t even know what to write anymore, I guess this is it, the end, at least the Curse will end now and my Soul will be at peace
If it’s possible to be reincarnated again I wish to be born to love you and I promise not to leave your side then
Goodbye Daphne, take care of yourself and our child 📃

The paper dropped from my hand as tears rolled down my eyes

“Aria what’s the meaning of this?” I asked but she kept quiet

“Aria!!” I yelled

“Do you think this is easy for me!” She yelled back “I just lost my brother’s child, my blood. I tried to stop him Daphne but I couldn’t deny the fact that he’s right, I can’t let you die when I know a little Walker is growing in,side you, am sorry Daphne” Aria said

“Where’s Liam?” I asked

“He went to the Willow tree, that’s where the Curse started and that’s where it should end and I casted a spell on him to enable the Soul Hunters find him faster” she said and I stood up

“Let’s go” I said

“Where?”

“Take me to Liam!!” I yelled

Aria took her car keys and we went out of the house
We entered the car and she drove off

I can’t let him die
Liam please don’t die, lemme be the one to die please

🍂 Liam’s POV 🍂

I parked the car in front of the Willow tree

I came out of the car and looked around

The Soul Hunters should be here any minute

I sighed as tears rolled down my face but I quickly cleaned it, I’ve got to be strong, am doing this for Daphne and our unborn child

But Daphne…. She must be so sad right now but what can I do? I can’t let her die

The atmosphere suddenly became cold and I knew the Soul Hunters were here

I turned around to see them standing in front of me

Then I remembered Charlie, his wish was fulfilled after all, even though am dieing, there’s still a little Walker growing in,side Daphne

The Soul Hunters brought out their veiny hands towards me at the same time and I felt my throat constrict

It was painful but I was determined not to yell, I am happy since am making this sacrifice for my loved ones

My veins were turning black and I could feel my Soul slowly fleeing from my body

“Liam!!!” I heard a scre-m and I saw Daphne and Aria coming down from a car

Daphne was running towards me with tears on her eyes

Am sorry Daphne, am sorry I brought tears to your eyes, If I ever get a next life, I’ll want to be with you again, I’ll want to love you forever

I felt the last of my Soul leave and I collapsed as everything became dark…

🍂 Daphne’s POV 🍂

I sank on my knees as I saw Liam collapse lifeless and the Soul Hunters disapeared

Tears rolled down my face and my throat became dry

Liam is dead

He left me alone

“Daphne! Daphne!!” I heard Aria called but her voice sounded so distant

Everything became blurry and I collapsed as I became unconscious.

👀 EPILOGUE 👀

🍂 Daphne’s POV 🍂

I finished cooking and I set the table for breakfast

“Liam!! Breakfast is ready” I called

Liam came out of his room yawning

“Good morning Mom” Liam greeted

“Morning sleepy head, have you brushed?” I asked

“Yeah” he said as sat on the chair and we started eating

“Today is Dad’s death anniversary right?” Liam asked

“Yeah, you remembered” I said

“Of course, how can I ever forget, I wish I could see him, even if it’s just once” Liam said

“He sacrificed himself so we could live a happy life Liam, and one of his wish was for you to know about him, even while dieing, he thought of you”

“I know, he’s my hero” he said “Will grandma becoming?”

“No she won’t be able to make it, she has some meetings to attend at the orphanage and she promised to come tomorrow and with gifts for her little boy” I said

“Yay!, I can’t wait for her to come” he said with a smile

“If you are done eating, you should go get dressed, we have to visit your Dad’s grave” I said and he nodded

He ran off to his room to get dressed and I smiled

It wasn’t easy getting over Liam’s death but giving birth to my little boy brought smile back to my face

He looked so much like Liam and that’s why I named him after Liam

He’s 8 years now and he’s my everything, sometimes he kinda reminds me of Liam

Aria still heads the orphanage and she visits us every weekend and Liam calls her grandma

I packed the dishes and went to my room to dress up

********

I parked the car in front of the graveyard and we went to Liam’s grave

We knelt beside the grave and I fought back the tears that came to my eyes

“How have you been Dad” Liam said “we are living happily just like you wanted though we miss you alot, especially Mom, she always cry when she sees your picture but don’t worry Dad, am taking care of Mom just like you did, and I promise not to trouble her alot”

I smiled as I looked at Liam

“Your son totally took after you Liam” I said “though he’s kinda naughty sometimes, I wonder where he got that from” I said and Liam laughed

“I miss you so much, I wish you were here beside me Liam” I said as tears rolled down my face

“Am here beside you Mom” Liam as he hugged me and patted my back “Don’t worry Mom, everything is gonna be alright”

I disengaged from the hug and looked at Liam “your Dad used to do exactly what you just did whenever I cry” I said and he smiled

“Am happy I took after Dad” he said and I smiled

“I love you Mom” he said as he pecked me

“I love you too baby” I said and I hugged him again

Liam isn’t gone, he is with me, he is by my side

……. End of Epilogue…….

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

I agree it was sad, but I think they finally got a happy ending

Though Liam died but the Curse was broken and he got a son too

So Cursed has come to an end
I wouldn’t have been able to finish it without the support from you guys, thank you so much.
