Chapter 61: Turn it off

*~Hazel’s POV~*

I was still wallowing in my silence, folded in on myself like some broken doll, when I heard Leon’s voice slice through the room like a blade.

"It’s all your fault, isn’t it?"

His voice low, bitter, trembling with rage.

"Everybody was right. You’re bad luck. A curse. You killed her." He yelled at me. I looked up, confused, shattered, not sure if I even heard him right.

He was pointing at me. At me. "Leon..shut up!" Caspian barked, stepping between us.

But Leon shoved him back.

"No! Let me say it! She killed her. Hazel killed Aurora!" tears pricked down his eyes as he dropped her dead body and came closer. My lungs collapsed. The walls began to spin.

"You knew she was weak!" he screamed. "You let her use the last of her power to help you...help your child!"

"I didn’t ask her to—" I whispered.

"You should’ve stopped her!"

"I—I tried," I choked out, but the words were barely mine.

"No, you didn’t try enough!" His voice cracked. His eyes bloodshot, red and raw.

"She’s dead! My Aurora is dead!"

"I tried to stop her.... I tried.. I really tried." my voice weakening then I heard another voice.

You’re an abomination.

The voice cold and chilling then another voice... You’re a disgrace. A weak, selfish human. My ears rang as the voices grew louder..

You killed her. You took and took and now she’s gone.

I stood up, trembling. I don’t even remember walking...I just moved. I pushed past Caspian when he tried to stop me. He called out, but I didn’t hear him anymore.
