One wouldn't tell if it is a man or a woman. A face of a person and the body of a hairy beast with claws, Black messy hair, black eyes which had black liquid purring out of them and veins popping off the face. It stared straight at me " oh my God " I cried out " Weston !!!!!!" Calling for help while I tried crawling backwards. I could barely move my legs. In serious pain and bleeding badly
Is this it? Is this how I am going to die? Mother, I guess I am joining you sooner than I expected
Slowly it opened its mouth and my heart stopped instantly when I saw another hand stick out of its mouth covered in black liquid. I have watched so many horror films and judged, when a person freezes instead of running. But now I can relate. At this moment a person's mind completely goes off, and body numb, My brain refuses to function and that is my situation right now.
With eyes focused on the horror before me, accepting my faith. It launched forward, while a normal person will close their eyes before death, mine remained open. I am going to die today.
Suddenly the creature hung midway, looking at me as its eyes slowly grew lifeless. More and more black liquid poured out of its body " www " it made a painful cry. Something was happing to it. And I remained speechless. What is going on? Boom it turned to dust and faded away. Making way for me to see him. That face, unique purple eyes, long black hair, perfect height and a perfect body. That strange man. And he just had to be shirtless, displaying his perfect figure. My eyes fell on his hand to see a black beating heart, he had dug out the creature's heart and without taking his eyes off me he crushed the heart as well until it turned to dust.
I would have fainted due to what I just saw but I chose not to. I think I am falling seriously ill because all the terror I felt earlier is now replaced with joy at the sight of him. Who the fuck is this man and why am I so drawn to him?. I watched him blow his hand and the liquid instantly faded " I hate dirty creatures " he whines then looks at me again
" Are you alright ?"
" What.....amm... No am not " said honestly. his eyes slowly fell on my injured leg. He walks to me and bent down to examine my leg. The moment his hand touched my skin I felt that electricity once again and unlike the first time, my body liked it. I noticed the frown on his face
" Damn " In a low tone
" What is it? " curiously
" It's poison," he said
" Oh my god, I need to go to the hospital," I said almost panicking. He lifts his head to look at me and our gaze met. His eyes had a huge effect on me, something I couldn't explain
" It is not something the hospital can fix " still frowning " I thought I told you to stop getting your self in complex situations " scold
" how is this my fault? " scold back. " you can't just appear after vanishing and scold me for something that is not my fault "
He remained silent for a while " it hurts, doesn't it ?"
" Yeah. And I have to stop the bleeding before I lose too much blood. Not like I haven't already "
I watch him look down again, he wraps his palm around the cut, at first it hurts even more and I tensed. Then just like magic, the pain began to vanish. I noticed from his vein, a kind of dark juice travelled from his palm to his neck. Like he was absorbing my pain and he showed not a single motion, he felt no pain.
The pain faded completely and he removed his hand " how is it now? "
I smiled at him " Much better, thanks " and just like that, I was off the ground and in his arms " aya....hey I can walk " I protested
" You will slow me down," he said not looking at me with eyes focused as he walked
" Still....the camp is the other way, where are you taking me " confused
" Get close to me, it's about to get cold " like I wasn't close enough. For goodness sake, he had no shirt on and here I am trapped in his arms, my face heated, feeling like a teenager once again. Boom, suddenly distracted by a strong wind. He was running, running at abnormal speed and I could barely see a thing or feel anything movement just the person who I am in his arms, holding me firmly so I wouldn't fall and every part of me he touched filled me with electricity
It indeed got cold and I did as he told me. I got closer, hiding in his chest, which was strangely warm. His scent, smelt astonishing and delicious. I couldn't describe it but I liked it. I could leek him right now if that wouldn't mean dirty.
In about 10 minutes everything came to an end. The wind stopped, the cold subsided and it felt like he grew warmer in seconds " hey " he called softly and I slowly opened my eyes to be taken by surprise by the view before me. We were in a cabin in the middle of the woods. Warm and cosy. Had everything one would need, perfect. And the candles were already lit. He walks to the couch in front of the fireplace and slowly placed me on it " is this where you stay?"
" Sometimes " he replied while walking away and vanishing into a room somewhere. Nodding my head and I said to myself
" No wonder I can't find you " while he was away, my eyes explored the sitting room. It was a perfect place to spend a vacation, and get away from people. From the glass wall on the other side, I stared deep into the woods, wondering what other creatures would be wandering out there. Will the others be safe? what if they also get attacked by something just like I didn't? What if they wake up and start looking for me? " Oh Jesus " my heart almost left my chest when I saw him standing in front of me. " Oh please, don't do that " I scolded
" Forgive me, I didn't mean to scare you " already wearing a black shirt, he handed me a cup of water
" Thank you " the moment my tongue touched the liquid, I was taken by irritation " fuck...." I lift my head to look at him " what is this? " it looked like water but it tasted like shit
" It's medicine for your injury " he sits beside me, lifting my legs and placing it on his thigh " drink up before the poison spreads further " hearing this, without further complaint, I drank it in an instant
" Leeeeeerrr " my body shivered a little due to irritation " disgusting " I whined, noticing a smirk on his face from my facial expression and I wanted to scold him but what will that make me? Scolding someone who saved me " what is in it ?" Curiosity in my tone
" Trust me. You don't want to know " I became more curious after hearing those words " this is going to burn a little," he said
" What is?"
" What I am about to do " lifting both his hands, a claw suddenly pops out of his left-hand index finger and I flinch in shock but wasn't scared to my surprise.
He used his claw to cut his right palm and he bled.
" What are you...." My sentence was put to hold when he tighten his fist, letting the blood drop on my injury, instantly my injury began to heal " holy shit "
" Stay still " he warned. The injury healed completely and I sat there speechless, how the fuck did he do that, is this guy a magician or something
" Are you..... Aaaaaaaaa " I shouted in pain, my healed leg was on fire "Aaaaa" reaching for my feet but he took my hand, stopping my action
" Just stay still " our gaze met, those beautiful purple eyes were a great distraction " it's only going to last a minute "
" It burns " I cried in pain
" Just look at me," he said, maintaining eye contact. " I am so sorry but I had to, in other to kill the poison " he explained with guilt in his tone and I nodded in understanding.
" What happens if the poison spreads? " the pain slowly subsided
" You will transform "
" Into that thing? " My eyes fell wide open " that attacked me? "
" Unfortunately " gave a slight nod
" Wow " nodding " thank you by the way.... For saving me " in a low soft tone
" How is it now ?" Looking down at my feet
" Oh, oh my God, it is totally gone " I removed my legs from his thigh, placing them on the ground " Ha.....it is healed.... This is wonderful, thank you. Is this magic? How did you do it? What are you anyways? " Throwing several questions at him. Our gaze met again and I could not look away. " What are you and why couldn't I find you ?" Sounding more serious. He leans closer, too closer and our faces were just inches apart, I could feel his warm breath on my skin and he locked eyes with mine.
" Why? Are you in love with me already ? " his voice, those words. My heart stopped beating for a second and when it started, it beat faster and louder. His eyes fell on my lips, and my knees weakened. Does he want to kiss me? He leans even closer and my mind exploded.
Wait, all this is happening too fast, just too fast. I don't even know his name or what he is, he doesn't know me either. Then why does he want to kiss me? Cleopatra, pull back, pull back. My body was betraying me, it didn't want to listen.
"Maybe I am..... I mean that only explains why I can't stop thinking about you " my mouth betrayed me as well and I noticed the shock in his eyes even if he tried to hide it. It was a straightforward answer and the truth. This man rules my brain. He smirks
" Love.... " still maintaining eyes contact " You have no idea how hard you have made my days," he said and I was instantly lost. What does he mean by that?
" What are you ? " asked again, hoping for an answer this time
" A demon Lord " his eyes suddenly changed, taking me away.
