《THREE YEARS LATER》

In the past three years, the fae visited more often. Even if the moon wasn't blue, she goes to the lake to meet Rave. Sometimes, she visits five times in a year.

《RAVE'S POV》

I was just walking in circles while waiting for Lysithea. I thought of confessing today because maybe she might like me too.... though I doubt it.

"What are you doing? Why are you walking in circles there?" I got shocked when I heard her voice.

"U-umm... Nothing" I stuttered. Why are you stuttering, Rave?! Fix yourself!

She just nodded and sat by the lake. I sat beside her and just watched her play with the water.

She's so gorgeus... She was smiling and her beautiful gray eyes looked even more beautiful. And as I stared at her I got lost in her eyes and as if for a moment I lost control of myself and.... I kissed her ON THE LIPS.

Her eyes widened and she got shocked. She covered her mouth with her hands and it looked like her mind went blank. "Why did you do that? Why did you kiss me?"

"Becasue... I love you" my eyes widened and I quickly covered my mouth when I realized what I said. Shit!

《THIRD PERSON POV》

"P-pardon?" the fae asked while processing what she just heard. When realization sinked in she shooked her head in disbelief. "Y-you must kidding, right? This is one of your jokes, right? You don't love me"

Rave didn't know if Lysithea was talking to herself or to him.

He shook his head. "I'm not joking, Lysithea. I love you" And when she heard that it was as if Lysithea's world collapsed.

She slowly covered her ears. "No, no, no! It can't be! You can't love me!" she shouted like she was getting crazy.

"W-what? What do you mean I can't? Why?" Rave confusedly asked.

"What happened before can't happen again! History can't repeat itself! No, no! I can't lose you again! No... this must a dream! This is just a nightmare that I'll wake up from! Yes! This is just another horrible nightmare, right? Right?!" She cried.

Rave didn't know what to do. He just hugged Lysithea and comforted her. "Shhh... don't cry. I'm sorry, please forgive me. What you said wont happen. You won't lose me" he tried to calm her down even though he didn't know what to do.

"No... You don't know anything... You can't love me... You can't leave me again... you can't die again" the fae whispered while crying.

Lysithea shook her head and removed Rave's arms that was hugging her. She was already sure with what she was about to do. "Someday, I hope you can forgive me, Ravern. This is for you... I love you..." that was all she said before running away.

It was as if his world stopped when Lysithea ran. He didn't know what happened and why she ran.

When he came back to reality he chased after her. Even if she was already very far he still chased her. He chased her until she suddenly disappeared.

"How..." he whispered but he remembered that the woman he loved was a fae. He couldn't do anything besides cry and ask hinself why? Why did she run away? Why did she call me Ravern? Why... why did she suddenly leave me? Why did she say that she loved me but left me? Why was is so easy for her to abandon me? Why... He asked himself but no one could answer them besides Lysithea.

He just cried while shouting the fae's name, begging her to show herself. But even though he knew she heard him, she didn't listen.

"After that, just like before, he goes to the lake every night to wait for the fae. Hoping that one day, she'll return. They said that until now, the man is still waiting" The old man ended the story. "Oh, why are you crying?" he asked the two girls crying in front of him.

"Well, its because the story is so sad! The man is pitiful, he loved the fae so much but she just left him..." said the first girl.

"Yes! The fae is bad!" the other one agreed.

"The fae isn't bad... she had a reason" answered the old man.

"What is it-----" the girl wasn't able to continue what she was about to say when her mother suddenly shouted.

"You little girl! I only
told you to get herbs, but look at you here now, chatting! Its already turning night!" her mother angrily shouted.

"Sorry mother!"

"I'm sorry, mister and my daughter has taken your time." the mother apologized. "Then, we'll be heading now. Thank you for taking care if these two kids." the mother said goodbye and took the two girls along with her.

The old man laughed while watching the two girls get scolded. He went to the lake near by and watched the sunset.

When night came, he noticed that the moon was blue. He suddenly remembered the memories he made with the woman he loved. The nights they looked at the blue moon... The times when they talked and chatted... Her laughter and tears... And the night she left him.

He sat by the lake and closed his eyes. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind passed by. He sighed. "When will you come back, my love?" he asked and a tear drop fell from his eye. He wiped his tears and opened his eyes. They were filled with saddness, longing, and... hope. "I'll still wait for you. I still love you... Lysithea"
