Chapter 1044: It has been a long time since i saw you cry
Since Jedrek knew it all, Serefina didn\'t want him to feel guilty about the decision she had made.
Because right now, if she had to go, then leaving in Jedrek\'s arms was the best thing she could ever get to end this pain, where Serefina always thought that she would die alone and lonely.
"You\'ve taken care of my cat?" Serefina asked in a low voice, but it was enough for Jedrek to hear her clearly. "After I was gone?"
"Yes," Jedrek replied. "I had taken care of her like a treasure." It was an honest reply and it made Serefina smile.
"I know you will take care of it," she said. "I just hoped that I can still see her when I got back."
"You came back after hundreds of years, and the life of a cat isn\'t that long,"Jedrek said back and this made Serefina laugh softly.
However, at the end of her laughter, Serefina coughed up blood and Jedrek hugged her even tighter.
"I want to go home..." Serefina whispered softly, as Jedrek cleaned the remnants of blood that had stained her lips.
Serefina\'s hair, which was long and red, looked very matted and Jedrek helped her to tidy up a little of her appearance by tracing the strands of her hair with his fingers.
"Yes, we are going home..." Jedrek muttered, tucking Serefina\'s hair behind her ears. "I will take you home, don\'t worry..." and Jedrek felt Serefina nodding against his chest.
"If there is one thing you can change, what do it would be?" Serefina asked again after a few moments of silence, enjoying Jedrek\'s gentle touch on her skin, and his warmth on her body which slowly began to turn cold.
Jedrek thought for a moment when he heard the question, before he answered with a faint smile on his lips.
"I don\'t want to fight with you on \'that\' day," Jedrek said quietly.
Both of them let go of their feelings, as they reminisced the unspoken memories from the past, having a conversation that only the two of them could understand. Only for this one time.
Only for once, because maybe there would no other opportunity to be honest, to speak whatever they felt about each other.
"Yes, so do I." Serefina agreed. "I didn\'t want to fight with you that day."
\'That day\' was the day when Serefina had a quarrel with Jedrek which made her leave the castle and participate in the massacre of the shadow warriors and the capture of guardian angels with the other lycanthropes.
The day Serefina was killed by a shadow warrior named Dorian and resurrected by the moon goddess, Selene, to carry out a mission to save the guardian angels who would be resurrected to help Donovan brothers win the war.
Because Serefina wanted to see Jedrek again. She wanted to see him again so badly, she would do everything at any cost just to meet him again.
Serefina wanted to take a look and make sure that Jedrek was okay.
Therefore, leaving this world in Jedrek\'s arms wasn\'t a bad ending, right?
==============
Raine hugged Lilac tighter, when she saw Jedrek and Serefina talking to each other intimately.
But, she knew... Serefina\'s time was short.
Although Raine and Serefina\'s relationship couldn\'t be said to be good, she couldn\'t deny that Serefina took the most prominent part in the process of healing her.
In Serefina\'s own way, which might tend to be brutal and pushy, the witch made Raine see the world in a better way and with clear eyes.
There would be many things that could happen ahead of them than Raine could ever imagine and she would miss everything if she was always scared and there would be a lot of things that Raine would not able to do if she always hid behind Torak and didn\'t dare to step forward.
Serefina taught Raine so hard and now she was grateful for it.
Because that was what Raine needed when she struggled to overcome her endless fear, while Torak always protected her, making sure that Raine didn\'t have to face it all.
However, Serefina pointed out things in a different way.
And a simple \'thank you\' alone wouldn\'t be enough...
==============
Kace remembered very well how the first time he met Serefina and how the witch made him feel interest in the magic tricks she could pull off and even though the days that followed were not filled with peace between the two of them, it was Serefina who was always there for him when Jedrek and Torak were not in the castle, as they followed their father away from home.
And since then Kace, always relied on Serefina for various things unconsciously.
Kace admired the witch for her stubbornness and for her obvious feelings.
Serefina was almost always honest with her own feelings, but toward the end of her life she managed to make them all think otherwise.
==============
"It has been very long since the last time I saw you cry..." Serefina said in a voice that was getting weaker, as if every word could easily be carried away by the wind.
There was no stubbornness nor arrogance that were always been attached to her image.
Maybe it was because the witch was too weak to act peculiarly, or maybe she had felt much calmer and more peaceful, so she felt no need to cover up her feelings and pretend to be strong, when she was not.
"I don\'t," Jedrek replied.
However, his lie was immediately disclosed by Serefina as she reached out and caressed Jedrek\'s cheeks which were wet with hot tears.
Serefina was the first woman who had wiped Jedrek\'s tears and now she was also the one who wiped his tears for him at this moment again.
