A Love of Magic: Jace's story: Chosen Saga Book 1.5
Page 8
‘Our promise… we share the same fate. I was pulled toward the castle less than a half hour ago. I tried to stay in the town, but I couldn’t. I see now, however, that thankfully we do not share the same fate.’
Edward looked at his hands, following each putrid crease. ‘I guess you’re a nicer person than I am.’
The man looked at the door. ‘I should leave,’ he said. ‘I, uh, hope it all works out.’ He left the castle door, but returned less than fifteen minutes later, looking pale. ‘I cannot leave the grounds.’
‘Same fate,’ Edward smirked. ‘Guess you’re stuck here too.’
The man gasped. ‘I must leave.’
Edward growled and turned. ‘As do I, but I cannot!’
‘Well,’ the man said, looking around. ‘How do we break the curse?’
Edward pressed his lips together. ‘I must be kissed.’
The man’s eyebrows shot up. ‘Only a kiss?’
‘From a woman… before you get any ideas.’ Edward sat on one the chairs and lowered his head.
His eyed widened. ‘I know that,’ he blushed. ‘I meant… well, it’s not hard to find a woman.’
Edward laughed patronisingly. ‘Because plenty of women go this deep into the forest.’
‘Best make sure you’re ready for when one does,’ the man said, looking solemn. ‘I’m not being stuck here!’
‘I never asked, but what is your name?’ Edward asked.
‘Caleb.’
Edward sighed. ‘Well, seeing as neither of us can leave, you will help me.’
Caleb nodded. ‘Guess I have no choice.’
‘Neither of us do,’ Edward said snidely. ‘We just need to find a woman who is willing to kiss a man as beastly as me.’
