Chapter 701 To the end of the world

When Alex and the others boarded the car, Kyle just stood by Zeke's car and did not seem to want to move. The young man looked roguish as he stared at Zeke.

"Please go on without me, I'll catch up to you guys later. I'll be back in the castle before sunrise." He informed no one in particular. Zeke turned to look at his younger brother with his deep and expressionless eyes.

After staring at Kyle for a few seconds, without a word, he signalled Raven to start the car and drive off. Their cars accelerated and quickly moved away from the entrance of the Black Forest, leaving Kyle just standing there as he watched them slowly disappear from his sight.

He let out a deep sigh before turning around. As he looked up, he saw there were still the two silver-haired witches still standing by the front of the Black Forest's entrance. As soon as Kyle met Zeres' gaze, Zeres turned around and silently entered into the forest.

Kyle then turned his gaze and fixed his eyes on Lilith. Seeing her lithe form clad in pure white garments and looking like a moon goddess, Kyle felt his pulse kick up its pace and his breathing becoming heavier again.

Slowly, he approached her, one step at a time, all the while without averting his eyes from hers. He remembered they did this exact same thing before. However, in Kyle's mind, it felt as though that had happened such a long time ago. He then wondered how Lilith felt about this. Did she even remember that once upon a time they danced to the exact same steps as they were doing right now? Did she feel as though it was an eternity since then as well? Or could she have forgotten all about it? It all happened when she was still the red-haired and green-eyed little witch that he had fallen in love with at the very first sight. He remembered how they had said their goodbyes right at this same place too.

Kyle had a lopsided smile on his lips as he thought about how nostalgic this moment was. Looking at them now, they had gone through quite a lot of changes. That innocence present in their eyes back in that moment was already long gone. Even though the irony of it was that it had not been that long.

When he stopped just one step before Lilith, Lilith felt her heart skipped a beat. She looked up at him and she realized he had become a lot taller and much more manly compared to that last time when they were together. It was like the boy she had met just a month ago had already become a man. And she knew that he thinks the same about her and she could not argue with it.

"I hope…" he started, even his voice sounded deeper now. "I hope you have been keeping well."

"I am." Lilith answered simply. "Don't worry, I know everything will be alright." A small smile curved on her lips and Kyle stilled, just staring slightly foolishly at her. Lilith saw the look on his face and had to give out a small laugh at how silly he was behaving. Though he looked all grown up and manly, this fact made him more approachable and helped Lilith feel less awkward being in his presence.

All they did was just stand there and stared at each other for a long while. The tension between them ended up rising steadily but neither one of them moved nor tried to ease the tension. It was until the silence had become so unbearable that Kyle suddenly whirled around, walked a couple of steps away and threw his head back. He ran his palms over his face then shoved them into his dark brown hair as a frustrated groan escaped from his throat.

Lilith could only watch him as she clenched a handful of her dress on both her sides. Her heart was racing as it beat wildly.

Then he turned and faced her again in a sudden twist. An ironic smile curving on his handsome face. "Do you want to know what I am thinking about right now?" he asked and though hesitant, Lilith nodded.

"I am…" he trailed off, gazing at her intensely. "I'm thinking of just forgetting about everything and anyone else and just… just kidnapping you from here and bringing you away to the end of the world and be with you forever." Kyle blurted all of that out without taking a breath in between that at the end of his sentence, he gasped in nervousness and ended up panting to catch his breath.

Lilith's eyes widened. That seemed to be too much like a confession in her ears. Then the next thought in her mind was 'what is Kyle thinking, saying things such as these?!'.

Seeing her expression, Kyle's smile faded. He took a couple of steps closer again and he was so glad that she did not step back.

"Are you wary of me now?" he breathed as he took the next step closer to her.

"No," she answered without hesitation. "I don't think you'd be able to do such a thing."

He froze in mid-step and stared at her then smiled bitterly.

He lifted his hand and caressed her face ever so gently. Then he pulled her against him and hugged her tight. "Lilith…" he uttered her name as his grip on her tightened even further. "Please listen… I don't know how or why but my feelings for you are just this impossible. It's so strong and I think it kept on growing every single day. Even during those times when I thought I would never be able to see you again, my heart didn't stop longing for you, wanting you. I tried to control it but failed miserably. I realized it's something out of my control and I'm afraid if this keeps on I… I might do something very selfish and wrong just to have you…" he trailed off and he drew in a deep breath even as his body shuddered a little.
