Standing by the edge of the bridge . I stared at the sunset, watching as the sun fades into the seawater. The sight was beautiful, perfect for a date but sadly I wasn't here on a date. My mind drifted to different things, I felt lost. I have always felt lost but this time I felt completely lost.
With eyes locked on the water ' mother, what do I do now? ' I thought deeply ' I have never had a part to follow. You have always been my reason to keep going. Now, what next ?' I knew very well that I won't get any response. It was pointless " hhh" a gasp escaped my lips. It was getting really cold. I traped my hands inside my hoodie pocket for warmth and lift my head to look at the sky which now had a mixture of orange and pink in it. " it will be dark soon " whispered to myself. I turn around and began walking. I was pointless coming out. I thought that a little fresh air will help me think but I am as blank as ever with no idea what my next move should be. Maybe I should get a new job or something?
It was a long quiet walk back. I won't exactly say quiet. The New York road was busy as always but I was lost somewhere else, in my thought with no idea when I reached my apartment building. Realizing that I have reached that was when I noticed the entire street was dark. " strange " in a low tone wondering if there was a blackout or something. I reached for my phone in my jean pocket and turn on the flashlight. " I hate this. " clearly not pleased about the blackout. I got off the street about making my way towards the entrance when I heard that voice. The voice that irritates the hell out of me
" Cleopatra...?" I turn around, lifting my flashlight in that direction and there he was. Dressed in normal clothes looking completely drained and wet, his eyes were hot red and his lips were bleeding. He probably got into a fight. Dr David. He leaned on his car looking straight at me
" David ?" I called in confusing
" hi....ha, ha I see you threw away my mails " giving an awkward laugh. He pushed himself away from the car. Trying to walk towards me but tripped
"Are you drunk and were you stalking me? How do you know that" I frown
" ha, ha, ha " he stands up. trying to look sane but he kept tilting left and right, completely off balance " no I am not drunk"
" Why the fuck will you show up here drunk" I scold feeling creeped out
" my love," he called making me raise an eyebrow " I love it when you nag, you know that right? my love " With that tone of his I wanted to punch him in the face
" don't call me that "
" oh come on. You loved it when I do " walking up to me before I could react he grabbed my elbow. He smelt like he bathed with alcohol and his wet hands socked my sleeve
" what the fuck?. Let me go " I struggled but he held on tight using his other hand to reach for my face. I never knew he was that strong. I guess a man's strength can never be underestimated no matter who he is." Let go of me " my phone suddenly fell out of my hand
" I told you I love you. Why are you doing this to me " instantly those words made me remember him? My father and how he used to abuse my mother in front of me before he finally left us
" I told you I love you why are you doing this to me "
" let me go!!!"
" Melissa fuck you "
The tears which have refused to come out for the past two days finally made their way out. He was like him, exactly like my father " please let me go " I begged, now getting scared
" Cleo listen " forcing me into a hug
" fuck you " I could feel his breath on my neck the smell of alcohol drove me crazy. He smelt like my father " get away from me " struggling for freedom feeling the tears run down my cheeks " please let me go "
" don't make me look like a bad person Cleo " he begged. All I wanted is for him to get away from me, is it too much to ask? Why is all this happening to me, what have I done wrong? I wish I would die this instant and let all this end " Cleo I love you " whispering to my ear as I struggled.
" let go of me " with all the might in me I was finally able to push him only a few steps " fuck you " about reaching for my phone on the ground. he caught me again but this time tighter and more aggressively "aaa" a gasp of pain escaped my lips due to the way he grabbed my wrist
"Are you fucking me " raising his voice " is there someone else?" Eyes wide open
" let go of her will you " suddenly the most calming and reluctant voice spoke out of nowhere interrupting us. We both turn in that direction. He was standing very close to David's car dressed in all black and due to the darkness I could not see his face but I noticed his hair. Very long dark hair. And it seems like he could see us better than we could. I could sense that he could
"Who the fuck are you? " David yelled unhappy about being interrupted
Vicnan
" just the perfect view," I said under my breath while seating on the New York clock tower watching humans below me. They always look weak in my eyes no matter what view I watched them and they looked even weaker from this view.
I took a sip from my mango smoothie. Which was now my new favourite human drink. At least they are good at some little things, I will give them that. It's been a whole with not a single fun activity. I am even beginning to wonder if this place was worst than the castle. I was already done getting rid of those dark souls and decided to remain here a little while longer. Every creature needs a vacation, especially me. It may look like I do not do a lot but I do. More thank you think.
Seated there for more than 3 hours listening to humans' thoughts and wishes.
" I just want max to break up with his girlfriend and date me.
I wish to get a promotion soon and make a lot of money
Maybe she will agree to have sex with me if she sees me riding this
Life is just so unfair to me "
Petty and selfish, I gave a disappointed smirk " some times I wonder if humans are any different from demons." I rolled my eyes " We are both after our selfish desires. I wonder what the supreme lord finds special about them " I wish I would die this instant. Those words rang in my ear. I closed my eyes and sniffed the atmosphere. Finally something interesting " such a wish with so many emotions. " it was odd to find a human that makes such a wish and sounds genuine. Most of the time they say it out of frustration and never meant it but this one does. She wants to die. Interesting.
Out of curiosity. I took one last drink from my smoothie and jumped. I need to see who this human was.
I followed the direction of the scent and found myself on a dark street which had several apartment buildings. It was strange to have blackouts in New York but I didn't mind the dark. "aaaa" I heard a female sound of pain. It sounded like the human I was looking for.
Standing close to a black Toyota SUV in front of an apartment building. A young lady struggled with a man, who with no doubt, was drunk. I could perceive the smell of alcohol from where I stood and why the fuck was he wet?. Did he fall into a pool of alcohol or what?
"Are you fucking me ?" raising his voice " is there someone else?" He looked like he was about to murder her that instant. I guess I see why she wanted to die. I got excited about nothing. At that moment I would normally ignore it and walk away but something kept me there
" let her go will you, " I said reluctantly sliding my hands into my pocket, calling the both of them attention. That was when I noticed her tears which made me frown. I hated it when humans cry. It irritates me.
" Who the fuck are you? " he yelled
" hh" rolling my eyes. I do not understand why they always ask me that. Like it is going to change anything that is about to happen
" someone you may be seeing on the other side " a smirk appeared on my lips as I responded and my eyes fell on the lady once again away from him. Is it just me, why does she look so familiar
