Kaerith
" That oughta hurt " I watch her sit upright after Gracefully landing on her butt
" Don't SCARE ME LIKE THAT" that shouldn't be enough to scare you , It would seem My wild cat isn't growing well as I thought
" Why ? Why let such a little thing frighten you ?"
" Because I didn't expect it you Animalistic Demon ! "
" You are weak !"
" Wow thanks !"
" You are welcome"
" That's not , I wasn't actually thanking you "
" You weren't? Humans and contradicting yourselves ! You aren't human though but I'm sure you picked it up from them "
" Were you following me ? Why are you here ?"
" That's not what you want to ask me Diana !" . I watch in fascinating as she huffs in frustration throwing her hair back
" How long have you been there ?"
" If you are asking if I heard the conversation between you and your heartthrob that almost made me puke my guts out then -.. No " Always so feisty when it comes to me yet you let your heart dictate when it comes to the Bastard Rebel . " Glare at me again and I'll take it as an invitation " I smile at her , but alas I've been told my smile isn't really a smile .
" You live in your own different world up there huh !" She taps her head
" Perhaps !" .
" Why are you here though?? " She asks me with arms crossed below her chest , making her breast give a slight jiggle which is pleasing to the eyes no doubt but.. I cannot be distracted.
" Training " .
" Training ?"
" You heard me wild cat , it's time to sharpen your claws ! "
" That's why you were eavesdropping?"
" Don't flatter yourself, i might have heard the conversation but don't make it seem like it's a bad thing even if it is then it shouldn't come as any surprise that I did it ."
" You are an asshole !" with a snap of my fingers the wind whirls around us , The swings cut loose and land with a thud on the grass , and I watch My wild cat turn to a shocked cat with eyes wide open and mouth left open taking in her surroundings .
" Careful ! " She slumps to the floor with shaky legs as we arrive in Vharûn
" What was that ? " She whispers her mouth parted slightly gasping for air
" I believe to the simple minded much like yourself it's called Teleportation!"
" So you just teleported us out of the park to vharûn ?!" .
" Is this not Vharûn ?" She pauses her lips glaring daggers at me .
" Get up !"
" Why ? Anywhere else you want to dump me in ? The demon realm ? Valhalla ? " .
" My bed "
" Wh-a-att?" I cock my head to the side
" Oh forgive me I thought we were mentioning places I'd like you to be "
" You don't sound apologetic " she staggers to her feet
" That's because I'm not !" I'm never apologetic because I'm never wrong ! Call it whatever you want.
" Your ego should be as big as the whole damn planet " she groans catching her breath , Teleporting is different from fazing , the first few times of teleporting for someone who has not experienced it before can have different side effects, I'm partly surprised that she isn't puking her guts out ! That would have been expected
" And yet you continue to inflate it !"
" I do no such thing "
" Your first task is simple ! "
" I'm afraid we have very different definitions of simple "
" Run to the end where the trees stop and back ! "
" Where the trees stop ? As in where they end ?" She asks and I hear the excitement in her words , oh my Gullible Wild cat !
" Yes look !" I jerk my head to the end and she sighs in relief, to her it would seem a short distance but the truth is , it never has been .
" That's all ?"
" Yes ! Go !" She breaks into a sprint , with moderate speed at first .. interesting , it seems like my wild cat knows the unwritten laws of a race ! Unfortunately this isn't a race , it's a labyrinth and she has no choice but to come back out or pass out , because there's no opponent and there is no end .
" Kaerith" the winds whisper my name , she's given up . My eye lids close and I listen to the wind " Got you " I faze there .
" Kaerith , it was sooo farrrr " with head cocked to the side I watch her whine with hands over her eyes
" Failed " I squat to gather her in my arm
" Don't touch me ! "
" Pray tell me how you plan on leaving here ? You can't even walk , you should be honoured I actually offer to carry you "
" YOU DIDN'T OFFER YOU SELF CENTRED NARCISSISTIC DEMON! " I've been called worse honestly
" Fine ! " I straighten my coat .
" What are you doing ? " I don't give her an answer as I turn my back and faze myself to the park !
" This is why I don't help anybody! All species are annoying ! Non excluded " I sit on the bench and take in my surroundings, the park is an eye sore filled with little monsters, I hate children but to some extent they can be classified as cute , I watch them frozen in the fragment of time from before I arrived ! No mortal is allowed to behold the sight of ancestral beings There's an old saying about demons 'At the devils' descent, the gods halt time itself, sparing mortal hearts from terror too great to behold.' Even the gods knew the length of the power my kind carries ,so time shall remain frozen unless I wield it otherwise ..
" Please come back I'm sorry , I can't get back without you " I listen to the pleas of my wild cat , everything has to be so difficult with her , which always makes things more fun for me .
" Your wish is my command !" I faze back to vharûn , to the spot were I left her " Are you ready now ? Or you still have time to be wasted !"
" Ready !" She nods her head and I gather her in my arms ! And no this time it's not a trick to touch her , but I can't say the same about the last time I fazed us here , needed to get something out of helping her . I tighten my hold around her and her face goes slack in my arms
"Did you miss me though ?" I ask but she's far gone or so I thought
" A little " she murmurs with closed eyes
" Sometimes I wonder how fragile you are " I stare at her before fazing us back to the park , I hold her on my laps removing wild strands of red her from her face , no doubt the work of her body adjusting to the change . " Can I keep you ?" I gently stroke her face not to wake her ! " You make me feel things that should be forbidden , and I'm amazed that I'm this calm about it , If it were others I would have sucked the life from them , so I'd really like to keep you ! Alas .. I can't , you belong to him don't you? .. but those are just minor set backs , temporary ones" The Peaceful look on her face is something I would kill for , I've only had that look once , the time I was born ! Or so my mother said , who knows ? .. she turns her head and her eyes open slightly " Rains coming " she mumurs before closing them completely, and right on que the skies obey but I'm faster , I faze to the doorstep of her apartment and gently place her on the ground . Why I'm using so much care you ask ? I know the answer
" Wake up Diana " I stroke her face one last time before fazing out of the building , my clothes getting wet as I watch her from outside as she unlocks the door and staggers in , I didn't put her to sleep but I had to wake her up or she would have been there a while , as she collapses on her bed , I teleport back to mine . One day she will come with me .
