The Cursed Human

Evening sun was long gone replaced its bright orange tinge with dark night. The night sky was aglow with bright city lights. The pale crescent moon shimmered like a silver claw in the raven night. Falcon glanced at stars blazing the sky but his insides weren’t as calm as night. His eyes held storm of emotions that was corrupting his mind.

After dropping Nancy at her apartment, he decided to drop Sarah. Falcon looked at angel beside him and took a deep breath. She was sleeping soundly and he didn’t wanted to wake her up.

He pulled up at her apartment and carefully got out of car. He slowly opened passenger door carefully enough to not wake her up and placed one hand under her knees and other on back of her shoulder and with one jerk he picked her up. He closed the door with his foot and started walking towards her apartment. His arms were wrapped securely around her as he entered the elevator.

After reaching her apartment door, he opened the door with his hand that was under her knees and walked inside. The familiar scent of lavender and blueberries invaded his nostrils as he breathed in deeply. His hawk like eyes scanned her tiny apartment and walked further.

He crossed her cozy living room and opened the familiar white doors of her bedroom.

His steps automatically took him towards her bed as he laid her down. She stirred and adjusted herself seeking comfort. Falcon kept standing there. He took duvet from her closet and covered her shivering body with it. Slightly bending towards her, he pushed back her wet hairs from her face and softly kissed her forehead. As his lips touched her head, he felt a burning sensation, not from close proximity but from heat radiating off her body. He frowned and gently placed the back of his hand on her head.

‘She’s having fever.’

He said to himself. He checked her cheeks and face and felt same heat radiating through her body. Her skin was hot to touch, he mentaly scolded himself for not observing this earlier. His senses heightened as her arteries become noticeable distended due to her raised heart beat. Then realisation hit him.

She was wearing same damp clothes.

He hurriedly rushed into her closet and picked up her warmest pair of pyjamas and one off white sweater before rushing towards her.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Wake up, sunshine, you need to change.” he said while slightly shaking her. Her eyes were closed and her body was sweating profusely.

He tried few more times but nothing worked. He sighed in defeat and put his one hand behind her head and made her sit and settled himself on the bed in front of her.

‘I am about to sign my death certificate.’ he pondered to himself.

He removed his jacket off her and stared down at her. She was so small compared to him.

“So godamn small.” he murmured.

He removed strings of her sundress making them fall from her shoulders. He gulped hard. He wasn’t sure he would be able to do that or not. He was not allowed to touch her but every single cell in his body wanted nothing more than to keep her close to him, to keep her away from every single trouble.

But…

But he knew this was not possible. She will never be his and once she will find his true self, she will hate him and he couldn’t afford to make her hate him.

He pulled her dress down from her body and inhaled her sweet intoxicating scent. His pupils dilated and his heart beat accelerated. Unable to resist anymore, he nuzzled his head in valley of her neck and took a deep breath. It was the calmest moment of his life. He could be like this forever. She gave him comfort that no one could ever give. He positioned his other arm around her waist and pulled her close. He wanted to hold her like this and wouldn’t let anyone harm her in any way. He rubbed his nose through the length of her neck and inhaled deeply. He kissed a joint where her shoulder met her slender neck. He moaned in pure bliss and ecstasy when he felt his insides quiver.

Then reality hit him like someone has poured a bucket full of ice cold water on him. He pulled away and quickly changed her into sweater and made her laid down before covering her with duvet.

‘what was I thinking? I can’t do this. He will kill me if he came to know about any of this.’ he thought and quickly left before closing her bedroom and apartment making sure it was locked.

He sat in his car and placed his head on steering wheel. A defeated sigh managed to escape his lips. His mind bathed with his heart and the storm of thoughts that was turmoil inside was enough to send his calm away.

“Two weeks! Two fucking weeks!” He groaned in frustration and gripped his hairs.

‘This means he’s ready to rule.’ he said to himself.

‘And she will be there.’He was tensed at the thought of having Sarah found out everything. But now he couldn’t do anything about that. He was as helpless as injured rabbit in front of lion.

With this thought in mind, he drove away towards his condo.

Till then take care
