Bab 34: 31. Not mine
Bee
I looked at the nymph as he slept and smiled warmly .
He had fallen asleep a few minutes ago whilst playing the game .
He still looked beautiful even as he slept or even more so .
His smiling lips were put in a small warm position and his alluring face became more innocent and pure .
" I do not understand this ." Misty said appearing next to me and I looked at her .
She had disappeared earlier when the nymph had been at physical therapy .
" You do not understand what ? " I asked her .
She frowned and folded her arms .
She looked at the nymph and then at me and then at the tray with food I had put on one of the other chairs .
I had eaten the food and found that I couldn't taste any of it . But I hadn't cared , I knew the nymph hadn't wanted to eat the bad food so I ate it for him .
" You make no sense ." She said suddenly looking back at me . " I don't understand how he is your beloved yet you show no signs of intimacy . "
I looked down at my hands ," he is not mine . I never said he was . "
" Then what is he ? What is he for ? " she asked confused and I thought a moment before answering her .
" He could be someone to keep me company as I complete my unfinished business ." I answered but the girl frowned even more .
" You ...he is ... what are you ? " She asked me ," You act like a ghoul , you have the feel of a Corpse but ... you wish to play with your prey ."
" He is not my prey ." I said slowly but she shook her head .
" You are a Corpse or ...ghoul and they do not flounder with humans . Madin told me so , you only have one human you do not hunt and that's your beloved but if he's not then- "
" Then Madin is wrong , I would never hurt him ." I said solemnly and she tilted her head with a confused look .
" Then will he be your beloved ? " she asked but I shook my head .
" I ... I would not dare to even think of him as belonging to me . " I said and I touched my face ," he is human and I'm ... something else ."
" hmph ! You are really confusing ghoul but I am okay with it ." she said and giggled ," Whether you find a beloved or not , I won't care . But ... I hope you do ." she added and smiled at me .
She's not so bad , I thought , I was getting used to the presence of this ghost girl .
" Would you like to learn to see the second plane now ? " She asked me and I nodded my head .
This was something I wanted to learn , it could be useful to finish my unfinished business. I also felt very inexperienced when it came to the incorporeal world .
" Okay , I'm going teach you how but what do wish to see ? " she said looking at me with curious eyes ," You can see ghosts truest form , a humans aura and even the life energy of fauna and flora . "
I thought about this . I could choose to see Misty's true form since there were no plants or animals around .
" Mmm " the nymph hummed in his sleep and I looked at him with a shine in my eyes . Of course , what else would I wish to see ? I thought .
" I wish to see the aura of the nymph ." I said solemnly and Misty giggled her voice like Christmas bells .
" I knew you would choose that but it's harder than you think . Human auras are hardest to see since they are close to the third plane but ... let's try it ." she said enthusiastically and then she moved closer to me .
She lifted her hand and touched my eyes , or rather her forefinger passed into my eye sockets like air through a tunnel .
" Your eyes seem okay , so I think we can do this ." she said stepping back but I felt a slight chill in myself . It started from my eyes and made my body spasm oddly before I returned to my normal state .
I did not want her touching me if that was going to happen every time ! I thought passionately .
" Are you okay ? " she asked and I nodded my somewhat laden head . " Good , now the first thing you have to do is focus on the human . "
I looked at the nymph hard , focusing my eyes on his face ...
but nothing happened .
" It is not working ."I said shaking my head and she humphed .
" Your not doing it right , you have -"
" I'm back dears . " a voice said and I looked at the door .
It was the nurse who had brought the food .
She came up smiling and looked at the nymph . " Did he eat it all ? " she asked and I nodded my head .
I knew if I said I had eaten it then the nymph would get into trouble and might have to eat more bad food .
" That's great , I best be off then ." she said taking up the tray and plate ," and aren't you a sweet dear for staying with him . "
She gave me one last smile and walked out of the room closing the door softly .
" Well are you going to try it ?" Misty said stomping her foot angrily and I realised she had been talking this whole time but I had not heard .
" What did you say ? " I asked her and she puffed up her already puffed up cheeks even more .
"You were not listening ! Why were you not listening ? " she said accusingly but I sighed .
" Because there was a human here and I can not listen to you and her because it would be odd and they might know something is wrong with me . I told you this before ." I explained and her scowl turned into a frown but she nodded her head in understanding .
" I just don't like being ignored ... it's what SHE used to do . " she said crossly but before I could ask her who ' SHE ' was , she giggled again .
" I think maybe you are cursed , ghoul . " She said and I felt shocked .
" Cursed ? What do you mean ? " I asked and she smiled softly .
" You don't know anything , you don't have a beloved and you act like a ghoul . Definitely cursed ." she said nodding her head but I frowned .
" I can learn and I am not a ghoul . " I said fiercely ," and what is this beloved that you keep speaking of ? Even your ghost friend Madin said something about it too ."
She looked at the nymph and then at me ," It's supposed to be the person who tethers a Corpse but you don't have one . Which makes me think your a ghoul , even when you say your not . Which is very confusing . " she frowned at me ," If your not a ghoul and since you don't have a beloved then your not a Corpse either . That means your cursed , it's the only thing that makes sense to me . Or you haven't found your beloved yet but ... mmm I don't know . But I'll still call you ghoul even if your cursed ."
I thought about what she said . Cursed ? I asked myself but that didn't make sense . Olibia brought me back and she hadn't said anything about curses .
I decided to leave the cursed idea until Olibia came back . But I doubted it. I saw myself as a monster but ... not cursed . I would ask Olibia .
" But it's not a bad thing . " Misty cut into my thoughts ," Being cursed that is . There's always a way to break curses . Like in fairytales , when princes and princesses do it . "
" How ? " I asked her , I didn't believe the cursed idea completely but it would be nice to know of a remedy just incase .
Misty looked wistful ," with true love's kiss . It always works but ... those are just stories . " her wistful expression turned melancholy," my mother always told me , love would set me free . But that isn't true ... I'm still here ."
Misty looked sad and dazed , but before I could ask her what was wrong , she vanished and I was left alone with the sleeping nymph .
I looked at the nymph and moved my chair closer to his bed .
I looked at his face and narrowing my eyes , I concentrated .
I had to get this right , I thought , I needed to learn to do things other dead creatures could .
For a moment nothing happened but then my vision gained a purple field at the edge and I felt a slight tingle in my mind but all of that was ignored as I saw the nymph's aura .
It was a bright glow that seemed to come from under his skin . It was like a halo but just as I glimpsed it my eyes turned back to normal and the aura disappeared .
I sat back and blinked my eyes ,but the purple vision didn't come back . It had felt like my experience in the park but only stronger .
But atleast I knew I could do it , I only wished Misty hadn't disappeared right when I got it right .
Oh , well I could tell her later .
" Mm " the nymph's voice cut into my thoughts , he turned his head towards me and I smiled at his sleeping face which was much more beautiful than his aura .
" Nymph , are you mine ? " I asked softly and the nymph smiled .
Did he hear me ? I thought anxiously , but the nymph turned his head again and I realised he was still sleeping .
He would never be mine , I thought sadly , he is not mine . But I was content as long as I wasn't alone .

NixelLazuli Misty has her own personal story ... that will be told later . Or just given in fragments , I haven't decided .
Anyway, as for our undead romantic here , he's still as lost as ever ... But maybe not for long .
