Why couldn't she understand? The woman took a step towards him and he physically balked, taking a step back. Twig asked why she should leave him alone. Didn't she already know? Wasn't it obvious? Panic began to surge within his chest, his heart beating a mile a minute. They had already been near each other long enough. She was going to catch the curse.
His aunt said that she loved him and tears welled in the boys eyes. He loved her too. That's why he couldn't be near her. "Aunt Twig, if you loved me, you'd stay away from me." He began backing away. "I don't want you to die. I'm cursed. If you stay near me, you'll die." His voice lowered with his gaze. "Everyone does." The gangly child turned and began walking away. It was safest for her if he left. His heart was still pounding, but he wouldn't look back to see if she followed.
