Before I knew it, it was night. The half moon shimmered across the area, providing a beautiful reflective light on the pool. I see the little ripples from the wind making the shape of the move blurry. I had put a chair behind the window and was sitting on it with my legs folded up and my face resting on my knees.There was that uncomfortable feeling again. Every day, it seemed like something new was about to come up. The world had opened into a dimension of infinite possibilities where shit could get screwed up. There was no end in sight. It was quite unpredictable.Ting!It was my phone. There was a message from Lev, asking me why I wasn’t at school the past few days. I had told them that I was not feeling well but I knew that this would not last long. So unless I gave them a medical report of me having a life threatening illness that required hospitalisation for a few months causing me to drop school, I doubt that they would let this thing go.My phone started ringing in my hand and
For a couple moments I could not believe what I was hearing. They slept together a month ago but Lev looked so surprised when she told him that she liked him. It could be a friends with benefits thing but I guess I am just disappointed that I didn’t notice the tension at all. If I knew maybe I could have helped somehow.“Don’t you think he deserves to know? It’s his child too.” I say calmly and gently so she wouldn’t think of this as an attack on her. I am on her side of course. We girls have to stick up for each other but Lev is my friend too. This is his kid we’re talking about as well!“It won’t be.”I make a face of confusion.“I’m getting an abortion.” My mouth drops open. I rub the back of my ear hesitantly.“Kira.. how are you going to manage that? It’s not legal anymore.”“Maybe I’ll go to Canada.” She mutters under her breath.I let out a breath and give it some thought. “Listen, hear me out. I’m just saying this because I care about you. Aren’t you rushing things a little?
“Do you think you can make drugs? Like you make objects and stuff.” I ask.He thinks about it and then shakes his head. “It probably wouldn’t be safe. I can bring drugs from locations on different parts of the world through the dark portal. In fact, that’s how I get most stuff. Creation is more difficult than just transporting.”I nod understandingly.“You don’t have to follow me around all the time you know.” I joke as we walk back to the house.“You wouldn’t understand.” He waves it off and continues walking ahead of me. He heads in first, going straight to his room. I wouldn’t understand, he said.What wouldn’t I understand? And if I don’t understand how dire the situation is, is that not because he doesn’t want to explain?“Hmm.” I watch as his door closes shut and I head back into my own room. Lying in bed, all I can think about is Kira. She asked for help to get her the drugs but I’m not sure if I should do it right away. Shedim did say that he could bring them and I know she sa
That night I had trouble sleeping. I tossed and turned many times. When I came back from Kira’s house, I had asked Red to look for her somehow. I wondered if it would be possible for him to find her the way he always finds me. He, of course, refused that and told me that it was different for us. Because of the contract. I knew that to some extent but wouldn’t there be a way? Like her scent? After that he had complained that he was a demon and not a werewolf. If he was a werewolf, he might have been able to find her using her scent alone. I had a hard time even imagining werewolves being real.In the end, he promised to send a few of his subordinates in search for her, assuring me that she was probably out getting some air and would be back at her house. I tried to believe him but he didn’t see her the way I did. I know her and for her to act hostile would mean that she is genuinely very troubled.I sigh as I fiddle with my sheets. Come on. Fall asleep.I close my eyes. I wonder if I s
There was a staircase on the left and one on the right side. I took the left one.I suck in my breath and step up onto the stairs. There were huge candelabars holding multiple candles on either side of the stairs on it’s knobs. It was such an eerie atmosphere due to the lack of anything lively. The same monotone. Dark and rusty. I feel like I was in a haunted house and a jump scare could happen at any moment. I rest my hand on my chest and will to myself.‘Don’t be so negative. I don’t want to see a ghost now of all places.’ The creepiness of it already made me shiver.The stairs led to a platform that connected 2 more staircases. At the end of each were multiple openings which presumably led to halls. I was confused about which one to take but at the end I just trusted my feet to pick the right one, whatever the hell that means. Probably one where I won’t get eaten alive by a monster in hell. Even if it isn’t real, the pain in dreams can still be felt! I don’t want to be eaten alive.
"Why me?"He licked his lips. "Since you're asking so desperately, it's you because you were the only one I could detect. It's been 80 years since the last one."80 years? Since he found someone like me? An angel? "I must have done something wrong to deserve this" I muttered under my breath sarcastically. "Probably. You used your powers. There you go baby, you have a major hint." He backed away from me slightly and crossed his arms. "It doesn't matter anymore. Once your powers have been unlocked, you can't supress them completely by yourself" He grinned. "So if you were thinking that all you have to do is not use your powers in order for me not to find you. You are wrong" What is he blabbing on about... I have never used my powers even once. I try to rack my brain and tried to remember a time where I used them. Come on. Try and remember something weird and unexplainable. My eyes widened immediately as a memory surfaced. That time! Lily's wounds. They had suddenly disappeared.
“Am I seriously the first angel you detected since 80 years?” I purse my lips.He stopped for a moment and made a thinking face, recalling something. “You’re right. It hasn’t been 80 years. More like 50. The last one died so quick, it barely left an imprint.”I lightly scoff. A part of me wonders if this is a way to provoke me, trying to tell me that I am going to be next. Perhaps I am also going to be someone who is not capable of even leaving an imprint on him before I die.I struggle against the invisible force that glues me to my spot and slowly but surely, I could wiggle my fingers and toes. The tension is thick and suffocating- the moment drags on forever and it seems like this nightmare will never end. Have I been dreaming for hours or has it been just a few minutes? Whatever the actuality, it felt like a really long time. My perception of time must be warped already seeing how I can’t even remember how I got here in the first place. The silence continues to deafen me, all I co
I feel an unusual heaviness over me, especially across my torso. I yawn with grogginess as I force my eyes open. There were already a few rays of light hitting my face from the space between the 2 curtains.“What is th-” I mumble as I look at the heavy dead weight arm on my torso that was connected to a body. For a split second I wondered if this was a nightmare and the body next to me was one I had murdered, then slowly memories of last night began to flow into me in the form of snippets here and there. I willingly came here into his bed and snuggled against him.I mentally face palm myself while I try to struggle against his weight so I can go to my own room.“So annoying.” I mutter as I raise his heavy arm and put it on his side. As soon as I did so, it started creeping it’s way across my waist again and held me captive.“Are you awake?” I call out. There’s no way he is doing this in his sleep. He must be awake. Right? I bite my lip and push away his arm once again when I did not r
