Olibia
I had said I would be back in two days ... I said that FOUR days ago .
I know what you must be thinking ;
She left the soul all alone in the living world , she just dumped him like waste , she is so selfish , she just wanted to get out of helping him , she's probably laughing right now etc .
Well let me tell you a something, that that is not what happened at all !
I'm not a monster !
I have a heart of pure light , so what if didn't have a pulse ?
I did want to go back to the soul , I just couldn't .
Why , you ask ?
Well let me tell you .
I had returned to the spirit realm to replenish my energies .
Don't ask how I did it , you wouldn't understand , your mortal .
And as I was I just about to leave , my superiors pointed to the pile of paperwork I had to deal with .
I hated the warped time difference of the two worlds . I had been gone for less than a day and a mountain of paper had just piled up like magic .
Oh my void , I thought glummly .
Atleast no lightspirit had brought up any questions about my soul charge . That could lead to some serious whoa whoa of trouble .
But now I was stuck here until I cleared this mount of papers that could cover the world's ocean !
I sighed wearily .
I really needed a vacation after this !
As soon as I helped that soul, I would take some time off .
Maybe go to Limbo and drift in a material epiphany or I could sight see in the Depths of the unknown . That would be superb .
Anything to get away from the paperwork that would definitely come .
Speaking of the soul , I wondered how he was doing . I hoped he hadn't ruined the outfit I got him . I had stol- um , I mean ' borrowed ' it fair and square ...
Okay , yes I had stolen it but so what ? Humans eventually don't need material clothing , so it didn't matter .
But besides that outfit there were other issues that the soul could raise . Literally .
I was worried about him . Not that cared about him ... of course not , I was a powerful spiritual force of the universe . I didn't have time to make friends and the soul was just a charge for me to deal with that's all ...
Oh , alright .
Maybe I did care ... ALITTLE BIT . Just that ... nothing more ... yes , definitely that .
But either way , I hoped beyond hope , that he had taken my advice and that he was keeping as far away from humans as possible .
Bee
There were alot of humans everywhere , I thought looking around .
I had been sitting for awhile now . I was waiting for that woman with black hair to come back and tell me how the nymph was .
But I was feeling slightly apprehensive .
So many humans , rushing back and forth . What if they noticed me ? What if they find out I'm not like them ? Will they hunt me down with pitchforks like Olibia said ?
These thoughts had been whirling around in my head and it added to my anxiety .
" Hello , who are you waiting for ?" someone next to me .
I turned to look at who had spoken .
It was a big man , he was dressed in white like the other humans who worked here . I had found out the ones dressed in white are those who worked at the hospital .
He had a big grey moustache and his head had no hair . Why did he not have hair on his head ? I wondered .
" Young man , who are you waiting for ?" he asked again .
" I'm waiting for Yuree . He's bleeding . He was hurt . I brought him here ." I answered and the man frowned .
Why was he frowning now ?
" Yuree Rosi ?" he asked but I was not sure . I did not know Yuree's last name .
" I don't know ." I answered honestly .
" Well okay ," he said looking down the corridor ," I just walked up because you looked so still I thought you might have suffered from shock and been paralysed. You looked like a zombie for second ."
He looked down at me with a smile ," I know a young boy by the same name . I was friends with his father and I know his mother . He is a sweet lad . Anyway I best be on my way . I hope your Yuree gets well , young man ."
The man turned around and walked away . I stared at him until he had gone .
I felt something in me . A light feeling , a sweet feeling in my chest .
I had a smile on my face . It was strange but what the man said was affecting me .
I didn't know if this was good or bad . I just knew I had liked it when he said " Your Yuree ." As if the nymph was mine .
That would make me happy but ... I didn't think it was possible .
He was human afterall and I was ... a monster . I still remembered the look of horror on his face when he saw me without my scarf . He would never be near me without it .
I reached up and touched my scarf selfconsciously .
I touched the side of my mouth where my blemish was and felt a sting of ... self disgust .
I wished I was normal and then he would be alright around me . I wouldn't be alone and it will be easier for me to finish my unfinished business . Whatever it was ...
Hmmm , " My... Yuree " I said in my raspy voice . It sounded nice .
