Chereads / HELL AS MAN / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Laura swims across the sea chatting with mermaids, and playing with dolphins. Sharks tried to swim to meet her, but she tries to go away from them as fast as possible, but she didn't she waited and the sharks swam in a circular motion around her.

The sharks didn't seem to harm her. Then she stretched out her hands to touch one of them. She played with the sharks like she had did with the dolphins.

She tried to swim but it seemed that her legs where glued together. Then she realised she was a mermaid.

She continued to play with the sharks with the other mermaids as they chat and giggles. She found herself swimming and chatting with creatures she never believed existed, how ironic.

Then they saw a man at the shore, all gaze turned towards him.

She didn't understand but she finds herself swimming towards the shore to meet him. It was so swift that she didn't know when she arrived at the shore and her tail mysterious turns into a pair of legs. She was amazed.

She saw him now clearer than she did when she was in the sea.

He is a tall tan in complexion man, with an uncomparable beauty. Laura for a moment forget to breath because he was so breath taking.

He was about 7-8 feet tall

, he had a long hair which covered half of his bareback, his hair was so black that it reflected the sun rays, he wore just a pair of black leather trousers, bracelet and an amulet, he is barefeeted . What caught her attention was his eyes, they were golden in colour and one could literally see fire in them, they glowed so hard that Laura felt hipnotised by them. She immediately shifted her gaze from his face. She saw his broad neck, shoulders and chest, she shited her gaze down slowly as she examined him. She saw his six packs which had a V-lining, he clearly doesn't miss going to the gym, she thought. She noticed a slight string of hairs beneath his navel which slides down into his trousers. She felt aroused when she saw this.

She stood there gazing at him as he also was gazing back at her in amusement.

Laura tried to take her stares of him, then she realized that her dressing was brief exposing every part of her body except her bossom and vagina.

She looks at him one more time, he smirks at her. Then she bend her head down as she felt her cheeks burn in embarassment. She wished nothing more but for the Earth to open up and swallow her.

The man walks closer to were she stood, she didn't move an inch. As he got closer she could feel a very dark but powerful aura oozing from him. As he got closer the scent of cinnamon and ash caught up with her nose.

He walks up to her, held her chin with his fingers as he raises her her head to meet his gaze.

Laura felt her stomach tingles by his touch, and scent. She had never seen anyone as flawless and beautiful as he was. Did she just said beautiful!? of course she did, saying he was handsome would be an understatement. Whoever he is, Laura was sure he was not human or he could just be a figure of her overactive imagination. She could hear the other mermaids giggling as they stare at the both of them. She can't help but wish she never came out of the sea.

Laura Eastman. He said eventually, breaking the awkward silence.

His voice was so deep yet melodious and angelic.

He drew Laura to his arms, without breaking his gaze.

What was she doing? Laura thought. She had never gone close to a man as such, further more let him take her to his arms.

Laura could feel his well defined muscular torso against hers, it made the butterflies in her belly excited. His biceps around her waist.

What was this man doing to her!? she thought, she felt like as if she was under a spell or something.... she felt her knees getting weaker and she couldn't hold herself anymore. She made to fall but luckily enough, his hand were around her waist, so he held her tight to his bare chest.

Who are you? Laura managed to say.

He didn't answer, instead he used one of his hands to remove a few strands of hair which covered her face, he arranged them behind her as he leans to kiss her.

Laura panicked, was she going to allow this stranger to kiss her. She felt his warm breath on her face, then she placed her hands between the both of them as she tries to push him away and also scream. But to her suprise, she didn't have her voice anymore she fought harder to free herself from his tight grip....

Laura woke up panting for air, she felt as if her breath was seized from her. The dream felt so real that she could still feel his tight grip on her waist, and also his warm breath on her face.

She rushed into the bathroom as she felt she was being suffocated, she oned the tap, and watches her face with the highest gentility she could muster at that moment. She finally inhales deeply as she off the tap. She was still panting. This was not the first time she was having this dreams. But it seems that as time goes it intensifies. She had never had anything like this.

There is a gentle tap on the door. Laura! Laura are you okay? it was her mom.

I am mom. She replied from the bathroom.

She came out of the bathroom and stares at the alarm clock. It's 8:00AM, she mutters to herself. She looked through her window but it didn't look like it was 8:00AM so she checked her phone to be sure. She took her morning robe tied it around her waste as she hopped into the bathroom.

She started by brushing her teeth gently, then she noticed the awkward silence of the bathroom. It was normal to hear the chipping of birds and other insects, but today seemed very calm, unusually calm, she thought.

After she was done brushing her teeth, she took of her robes revealing her bare back which is halfly covered by her dark blonde hair. She slides into the bath of warm water, as she bath herself she felt the soothing warmness of the water. Her mind slowly drifted to the dream she had last night, she wasn't sure if it meant anything.

Then again she wondered who the man in her dream was. She could vividly remember his appearance and facial looks, it was as if it was renewed in her mind with every passing minute.

She had no idea who he was and she was sure she had never met him once.

Laura got up from the bath, she took her towel, tied it around her chest and left.

As she came out from the bathroom, she saw George standing right opposite her.

What the hell are you doing here? she yelled boiling in anger.

George smirks. Laura do you always have to be a slug in the house? Mom and I are going to get some stuff for grandma, remember we would be going there tomorrow and grandma hardly buys anything, we will be back by noon.

They have agreed earlier to go to the Eastman's farm, to spend their last moments together as a family.

And your breakfast is on the table. George said, then he left the room.

Laura who stood there initially boiling in anger, rushed to the door and bolt it imediatelly to avoid anymore troubles or uninvited guest.

After a moment, Laura heard her mom's car leaving the compound. She sighs, happy that she was alone at home and saved from George's troubles.

After breakfast Laura decided to read some of her favourite books by William Shakespear.

After a while of reading, she stares at the wallclock, it was 12 noon, and George and her mother weren't back yet, so she decided to go out for a while to refresh herself.

When she steps out of the door, she was awed by the dark nature of the surroundings, as she stares at the sky she realized that it was the meteorite shadow that was cast upon the Earth, she heard the thunder claps as the wind blows, carrying dirt and dry leaves across the tarred road.

No one seemed to care about the cleanliness of the environment anymore she wondered as she strolled down the street.

She came to a T- junction and she took the left turn leading to Mr T-foods restuarant. It was the most popular restuarant in town, and know for it's affordable and tasty foods.

She arrived at the restuarant, bought some sandwiches, donuts, meatballs and a milkshake. She turned to leave but waits a moment. Mom and George would need some when they get back, she thought. So she ordered another.

Having done buying what she needed, she steps out to go back home. As she came outside, she looks around at the scanty population. People don't come out much this days, she thought. Then she shifted her gaze to the opposite durection in order to cross the road.

Lol and behold, she saw him. Laura couldn't believe her eyes, he was standing right on the other side of the road. The man in her dreams.

He wore a black sleeve and leather trousers, his long hair twisted behind him. Laura's eye locked with his until a double deck bus passed and he was no longer there.

Laura stood there dumbfounded forgeting to breath for a moment, then she snapped out of it and decided to go home.

When she arrived home, George and her mother were already back. She dropped the things she bought on the dinning table and left for her room.

George hungrily took some donuts and started eating as he mumbles a thank you to Laura.

Laura aren't you gonna eat some. Her mom asked calling her back.

No mom, I ate some earlier. She lied not wanting to bother her mom and also to avoid futher questions.

Her mom looked at her she looked pale, and slender than she was before she left. She was about to say somthing but decides not to as she was tired and not willing to talk also.

š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜š–£˜

In hell, Lucifer woke up in cold sweat. He doesn't remember the last time he sweated, and that is if he had ever. On his left and right side were two naked ladies with their bodies partially covered by the blanket.

He carefully got out of the bed so as not to disturb the ladies. He tries to remember his dream but his head throbs with pain. He held his head with his hands as he fell on his kneel. Sweat dropped profusely from his face, he groans in pain.

He eventually gave up, and quickly took himself to the bathroom so as not to be seen by the ladies in an embarassing situation. All he could thought was who ever made him go through so much pains, deserves to be purnished. He deserve to be killed.

He slides into the warm bath of water prepared for him by his servants, as he bath he felt a bit relieved.

Who is Laura Eastman? he thought.

After a while he came out from the bathroom, this time he was alone in the room. The ladies had left.

Hot steam emitted from his body as it dried up. He stares at himself at the huge mirror. His wardrobe opened by itself and a pair of black leather trousers floats out, his bracelet and amulet also. His bracelet clamped to his wrist, by themselves and he snapped his fingers and his trousers and amulet disappears from were they were hovering over the air and appeared on his thighs and neck. He rather enjoyed using his abilities to dress himself every morning, instead of his servants doing so for him.

He stepped out of his chambers after the giangiatic door to his room had opened willingly all by itself.

Good morning Sire, his guards said as they bow down their heads.

He didn't respond, instead he motioned to them,to lift their heads up.

He wasn't in a good mode today, he remembered the girl from his dreams, her fair skin, her perfectly blue eyes which marched with the blue sea behind her.

Laura Eastman! He mutters to himself.

He got bored walking and receiving greetings from any of his servants and his men, so he teleported himself to his office.

He sat down there for a while doing some paper works, then he heard a gentle tap on the door.

You can come in if you wish. He blurted out.

Zelius, Lucifer's P.A. and right hand man enters.

Zelius is a fire demon, he is good looking though but beneath those good looking flesh was a monster, a red skinned monster, with a huge pair of horns and a tail willing to kill and destroy at anytime.

You looked bothered sire. He said.

Whatever it is you want to say, say it and get out. Lucifer replied.

Sorry sire. Zelius apologies. News just reached us that, there is an angel traveling down to earth,.

Angel!?

Yes sire,...... sire you look pale is anything the matter, you don't look so good.

Lucifer was infuriated by Zelius words, but he remained calm, Zelius has been his right hand man since the beggining of time so it would make no sense killing him at all.

What do you know about Laura Eastman. He asked.

Nothing much sire, but I know, she is a 19 year old human child in New York, she used to school at Greenstorms college.

Thats all!? Lucifer asked looking disappointed.

Yes sire. But i could do some proper investigation if you want, Zelius offered.

No don't. Lucifer rejected his offer.

He didn't want Zelius going after this human girl who had so much effect on him. He knew Zelius quite well, he is so dangerous and might do some serious harm to this human girl. He could still remember several times when some other demons had offended him, or done anything wrong, before he could say or do anything, the demon would be on the ground with his head off and Zelius claws stained with their blood, he could also remember when he ordered him to summon one of his misteresses and he killed her, because he felt he didn't receive the respect he deserved from her. Zelius was dangerous and could not be sent for a task like this. He infact didn't trust any demon to do it for him. He concluded.

I will do it myself. He said finally.

Ok, as you wish sire. he said as he disappears into thin air.

Lucifer wanted to call him back as he sensed his, feelings of him being unworthy to Lucifer. But he didn't.

He just isn't fit for the task. He muttered to himself.

He broght out a crystal ball from his drawer. He hovers his right palm on the crystal ball, his palm glowing like flames.

Laura Eastman! Laura Eastman. He called as he moves his hand in a rotational motion over the crystal ball.

He saw Laura entering a restaurant, he watched her as she orders the things she wanted.

Lucifer decided, instead of watching her in the shadows, maybe he should meet her and know her better he decided. That would be his first step at getting to know her.

He quickly wore a sleeve, using his powers a sleeve and pair of shoes appeared on his body from thin air, his loose hair twisted behind him by themselves. Then he teleported himself to Earth.

He stared at her from were he stood across the street. He saw her coming out from a restuarant, with the words Mr T-foods writen at the top boldly.

He stared at her in amazment, she looked fairer and more beautiful than she was in his dream. Maybe it was because of the dark weather condition of the place, he thought. He looked up and saw the meteorite, it's shadow cast on the Earth.

He returned his gaze to were Laura stood, but this time his eyes locked with hers. He felt his heart churned. He saw the shock and suprise in her eyes. He could hear her heart beating heavily against her chest. He too felt this, looking at her made him felt weak and vulnerable. He had never felt like this before, what is this woman doing to him.

A doubled decked bus passes between them and he saw the chance and teleported himself back to hell.
