Bee
I looked at the humans slowly .
I hadn't wanted to get involved , I really hadn't .
I still remembered Olibia's warning about humans . So I had kept quiet when I heard them come . I had been on my spot next to the garbage bin .
I had heard a shallow pained breathing at first and then laughter and then they had come on their bicycles .
I had just kept quiet, hoping they would leave .
Then I heard the cry of pain .
My skin had prickled at the sound . I had heard the voice before ... I knew I had.
I had decided to take a peek at the humans and to see who was the human I remembered .
What I saw was not ... pleasant .
I saw a group of humans on bicycles and one of them talking to a human who was hurt .
The human was cut on his legs and covered in blood down to his ankles . His clothes looked torn apart by sharp objects .
I couldn't see his face though because the other human obscured him .
I saw the hurt human strike the one holding him . Then the one stricken retaliated and caused the injured human more pain .
It must have been a lot of pain because it brought him to his knees .
The other human then lifted his face and that's when I realised who it was .
It was the beautiful human from yesterday . The nymph ! The one I had seen in the park ... and he was being hurt .
I had felt something then .
A burning intensity inside me ... I had thought it was hunger again but this was a different feeling .
It made me want to hurt those humans for hurting the nymph .
I wanted to hurt them ... I would hurt them for hurting him .
" Let the nymph go ." I said getting up and all the humans turned to me .
Even the beautiful one .
I saw his face , it had blood on it and I felt the hot feeling in my chest grow in size .
How dare they hurt someone like him ... I would make them hurt aswell , I swore .
" Who the heck are you ?" the one infront of the nymph asked but i didn't answer him .
I walked forward , I wanted to check on the nymph . I had seen him flinch as he touched his shoulder . How bad was he hurt ? , I wondered .
" Hey ," one of the humans put his hand on my shoulder ," What you want , hobbo ?" he asked me .
" You think he also wants a turn with him ?" another one said.
What were they talking about ? I wondered .
" No , way . Maybe when we're done with him ." the one standing next to the nymph said and then he grabbed his hair and pulled it .
" Ahh " the nymph whimpered .
I moved forward but the human next to me held my shoulder again .
I growled , " Release me ." I said with gritted teeth and he frowned at me .
" Hey , Donny . Is the guy wanting to cut the line ? " another one spoke with a laugh .
" Can you just tell the guy to scram if he's not gonna wait . " the human who hurt the nymph said , he reached onto his pants ," I'm starting . Now , Yuree baby why don't you take a taste of - what the hell !"
I had grabbed the human who held me and thrown him against the wall .
I was feeling the hot feeling more than ever , especially after I saw the look in the nymph's eyes .
He was crying and looking at ... me .
I wouldn't let him be hurt anymore .
No more .
" Donny !" another human said rushing to the one who was lying against the wall . I may have thrown him with more force than I realised , he looked like he was dead .
Being dead wasn't the end , so I didn't care and these humans hurt the nymph so their lives were even more expendable .
I moved forward again , I was going to get the nymph away from these humans .
They were going to hurt him more , I knew it .
He wanted me to stop them , that's why he was looking at me .
" You bastard !" the one who had checked on Donny said and he lunged at me .
I moved fast and held his outstretched arm . I grabbed it and flung him away like worthless rubbish .
I would not let any of them stop me . They would not hurt the nymph anymore .
No more .
" Sheesh, who the heck is this guy ?" one human said and then he grabbed something from the bicycle he rode .
It looked like a metal pipe .
I looked at him slowly , curious to see what he would do with it .
He held it up and brought it down, aiming for my head . I lifted my hand and swatted the pole from his hand . It clattered onto the fence behind me .
The human looked at his empty hands and then at me . His face looked paler than it had a few moments ago . Was he dying ? I wondered . Then I realised he was afraid ... of me ?
" I'm out of here ." the human said and he hopped onto his bicycle .
He soon rushed out and a few of his friends followed him .
" Hey , get back here !" the big human said , he was still infront of the nymph .
I walked again toward them .
" Stop right there !" one of the humans who stayed behind said , I turned to him . He was holding a knife in his hands and I felt a twinge in my head ... have I seen that before ?
" What are you waiting for ? Nab the bum !" the human who was with the nymph said .
The guy holding the knife hesitated but I didn't move .
I wanted to see what he would do , but if he did nothing then I would just go to the nymph . He was more important than these humans .
I looked at the nymph and saw he was still looking at me .
I looked at him back and smiled reassuring under my scarf . I liked the nymph and hoped he knew I wouldn't let him get hurt . I was going to help him , he wouldn't hurt anymore .
Thud !
I felt something enter my body . I turned to my shoulder and saw a black hilt sticking out .
I looked at the human who had held a knife , his hands were empty now .
I looked at the knife then back at him .
He had stabbed me .
" Oh my gosh ." he said softly , I grabbed the knife and pulled it out . It made a tingling sensation on my skin but I felt no pain .
I threw the knife away and quickly grabbed the human who stabbed me .
I lifted him up and threw him across the alley with his arms flailing .
He landed on the pavement and rolled before coming to a stop . Unlike the other human I threw against the wall he got up though .
He looked back at me and then he ran away . He was hurt though and I could see he limped .
I shrugged , he was hurt just like he hurt the nymph .
I didn't want to kill them . Just hurt them as they hurt the nymph .
The ones who had run away were weak and I didn't care for them . That's why I had let them go . But this human , the one next to the nymph ... I wouldn't let him go easily .
" Hey , where are you going ?" the human asked as his other friends ran away .
He turned to me and backed away a step . I moved forward until I was right next to him and the nymph . I ignored the human for a second and looked at the nymph .
The nymph looked really bad . He had blood clotted on his clothes and he looked like he had been through so much pain . There was a cut on his forehead above his right eye . His eyes were still on me though , they were beautiful green just as I remembered .
I liked that I remembered him , it was-
I felt a sudden force that moved my face to the side .
I shook my head confused . I looked at the human , he had his arm infront of him in a curved hook and I realised then that he had hit me .
I growled angrily , and he backed away a step . He looked very pale now .
He was looking at me with wide eyes and his mouth was open .
" Sweet molasses !" he cried and then he turned ready to run but I would not let him go yet . I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him back .
I held him by his shoulders and pulled him close . I glared at him and squeezed his arms to get his attention .
" Never hurt the nymph again ... or I'll end your life ." I said and I meant it . I knew death was not the end so killing someone did not seem wrong in my mind .
" No , let me go ! Monster ! Help ! " he cried and I froze .
Monster ?
I let him go quickly and watched as he ran away .
I looked at the nymph and he looked at me with wide eyes aswell .
What was wrong ? I looked down at the ground and saw my scarf .
It had come off when the human hit me . That's why he called me a monster . He had seen my face . And the nymph saw my face aswell .
He would think I was a monster too , I thought sadly.
I reached down and took picked up my scarf . I put it back on and hid my mouth again .
I looked at the nymph , hoping this made him feel better but he was looking at me with those wide eyes still .
He did think I was a monster .
I felt saddened by this . I didn't want him to see me like that . I hadn't wanted him to look at like he was now . But it was too late ... mmm .
" What happened to you ?"
" Huh ?" I looked at the nymph again , he was talking to me ?
He was trying to get up but I could see that his legs and shoulder were troubling him .
I reached down and before the nymph could stop me , I scooped him up in my arms .
I saw him wince slightly but I didn't let him down until we reached my spot .
I placed him as gently as I could on the ground . The nymph was breathing heavily , he must have been in alot of pain .
" What happened to you ?" the nymph asked moving his back on the wall .
" I ... don't understand ." I answered honestly . What did he mean , what happened to me ? Was he talking about my dying ?
" To ... your face ?" he said pointing to his cheek and I knew what he meant .
I touched my face selfconsciously , " I came out like this . I don't know why ." I answered honestly .
I had come out of the grave with this affliction and I didn't know if it was there before I died or if it came after .
" Seriously ?" he asked me and I nodded my head .
" Wow , and I thought ... my hearing problem was bad. " he said smiling , I could tell he was still in pain though .
I knelt down infront of him , " Are you hurting alot ?" I asked concernedly .
" Yeah alittle bit but ... I'm better than I would have been ... if you hadn't saved me ." he said slowly ," By the way , what's your name Mr hero ? "
Mr hero ? I tilted my head confused , " My name is not Mr hero ." I replied and he smiled .
" I know , but what is it ?"
" I am Bee ." I said looking at him intently .
" Bee who ? " he asked and I shook my head ,
" No , not Bee who but just Bee ." I said and he smiled it me again .
Why was he smiling ? I wondered but I liked his smile, so it didn't bother me .
" Okay , Bee . " he said looking at me with a grin now ," I'm Yuree . And I need to get home . Can you help me again ?"
I didn't want to refuse, and I wanted to be with the nymph ... Yuree more .
" Yes , I will ." I answered ," What do need ?"
" Can you ride a bike ?" he asked me with a rueful smile .
I liked his smile .
