บท 63: 60 A Corpse and a Beloved
Agor
I ran as fast as I could cursing under breath at Cir's foolishness . He had turned around and decided to fight the ghouls alone .
I had left him to his death , the fool . I ran as fast as I could until I reached a passway and there I stopped . I raised my hand and touched the way . It was a solid wall of earth to human eyes but djinn it was a doorway to any of our hiding places .
I let out a drop my essence to activate it and the wall glowed yellow and I walked through it . On the other side was a passage leading to a stairway . I had news and one djinn would want to hear about it .
I raced up the stairs but when I reached the door above there was a guard blocking the way . It was a Asher and I kneeled down it saw me .
Asher were known to be vicious and would kill anything posing a threat . The Asher quickly moved next to and sniffed my scent and bared it's mouth with sharp teeth . I tried not show fear as it touched my face with its claws and hands of cool magma .
" Passage ." I said softly and it growled at me but got up and touched the door . The door turned to ash and the Asher stood back and let me pass . Only when I was through and the door returned to normal did I breath .
" Corrose , " a dark voice said in the room . The room was dark there was nothing in it but a long table and a candle on its surface. Pillars stood tall and above them was an expanse of night . The voice seemed to come from the darkness around the room itself .
" Lord Voc , I bring news ." I said nervously and a red glow showed in the darkness behind the table .
" Speak or perish ." Lord Voc said and I knew he would destroy me if I didn't say anything immediately .
" I encountered a Corpse this night . He defeated me and my alley with ghouls." I said and the red glow faded , only to appear in the darkness next to me .
" A Corpse ? Do you speak the truth ? " Lord Voc asked and i nodded my head .
" Yes , powerful it is . " I said , " I believe it even has a Beloved . A human . "
" And it destroyed your alley ? " he asked and I felt slightly disgruntled in having to admit to a Corrose's destruction but nodded my head .
" You escaped ... how ? " he asked and I felt as if this was a trap .
" My alley sacrificed himself to let me deliver this message to you ." I said and then the glow faded and Lord Voc spoke next to my ear .
" What is your name , Corrose ? " he asked and I didn't dare turn around.
" I am Agor , my lord . A good servant ." I said desperately . Would he not reward me for my news ?
" You wish a reward ? " he asked as if reading my thoughts .
" It would help me serve you better my lord . " I said and heard him growl .
" You serve me and yet ... you failed me . You ran away from the Corpse and left your alley to die ,is that right ? " He said and I swallowed .
" My lord , I - "
" Yes or no , Agor ? " he asked me and I swallowed heavily again . I nodded my head slowly .
" Yes , my lord . I failed you ." I admitted and I felt a hand touch my neck .
" I ... like you , Agor . " his voice whispered next to my ear and then his hand touched my whole neck and then I felt a retching pull and my essence was sucked from body .
But , what about my reward ? I thought fleetingly .
.....
Yuree
I yawned in language class feeling a bit sleepy and when I thought about why I slightly blushed again .
After getting home , we had quickly rushed into our rooms before anyone could see Bee's state .
His clothes had been burned through as if by acid and it would have created alot of problems if anyone had seen . We'd left Terry and Steve ( who had been aware of everything as Olibia used his body ) to go home by cab .
After changing , I had went inside of Bee's room and slightly panicked when I saw him pantsless again . I'd waited for him to change in my room before going back .
" Wow , couldn't even look at him . How are you a Beloved , I'm starting to wonder . " Olibia had said with a smile on her shiny face . She had followed me into my room .
" I am respecting Bee's body . That's why I turned around ." I had told her and she'd tisked her tongue .
" That's not his real body anymore than this is his home . I brought him back to fulfill a purpose he wanted , you can look at that body all you want . Before it turns to a lifeless husk again that is ." she said floating around and I frowned .
" So , how many people come back ? " I asked , " I mean , on average . "
" Why do you want to know ? " she asked me and I sighed .
" Well I'm curious and maybe ... my dad came back as I ghost or something and I'd like to know ." I said but she smiled condescendingly at me .
" He could be here or he could be gone but I'm not allowed to pass such information to the living . Besides , that Is known only by Reapers . My part in existence, like my sisters, is crossing over souls to the hereafter not passing them into the spirit realm . "
" So you can't tell me if I'm going to come back or if anyone is going to come back ? " I asked her .
" The choice of coming back is not up to us but to the soul . Something tugs at you as you enter the spiritual realm and you refuse to crossover until you get it out of your system . " she said and pointed behind me , " He was the worst one I've had . Tears , grief and anger , the whole works . He almost walked away into destruction because I refused to bring him back at first . "
" Really ? Bee did that ? " I asked and she nodded her head .
" Yes , he was a very dramatic soul , maybe that's why I agreed to bring him back , not that i could have forced to ascend but I guess I just felt a kindred spirit in him . Or I was really stupid . " she said with a sigh , " And you , why did you feed him your life force ? Weren't you scared when he went crazy with hunger ? "
" I was scared but I was more worried about him and so when he said he wanted flesh to eat ... I don't know , I just offered myself up . Maybe it was because he showed me kindness and I wanted to return it or maybe because I was crazy and stupid ." I said with a smile and she chuckled .
" But , still I am concerned about this relationship with you two . You don't know the dangers of being a Beloved, and what Zascare did , makes it obvious to any spiritual creature that you two are bonded . " she said and I asked her what she meant .
" You don't know do you ? I'm also guessing the soul doesn't . Well , my guess is that ,to bring you back after you killed yourself giving your life force to Bee , Zascare used Bee's blood and merged it with yours to link your auras and raise your soul back together ." she said , " So now , your auras are linked and you two can connect to each other . One thing to prove this is the fact that you can see me no matter how many planes I ascend my essence ."
" I ... hardly understand any of that . " I said and she tisked her tongue .
" No need to . Let's just say that you're able to do things that many mortals can't . " she said , " Like touch and see spirits ."
I immediately thought of Misty the ghost girl .
" Can I help spirits ? " I asked and she gave me a look .
" Help them ? How ? Why ? " she asked folding her hands , " Child do you believe this is a game ? Do you believe you have been chosen for some high purpose in existence ? You want to help Bee and spirits across the world ? For what ? "
" I don't know about the world but I have one spirit I want to help . " I said softly , " And of course I want to help Bee . He's been amazing to me and has always there for me . I want to help him fulfill his unfinished business ."
" Do you really ? " she asked with narrowed eyes , " Can you handle what would happen when he left ? "
" What do you mean ? " I asked her .
" Your souls are linked but as soon as he crosses over that connection will break and maybe your mind too ." she said and I felt apprehensive .
" What do you mean ? " I asked her uneasily .
" It is the price of being a Beloved . The price of falling in love with a soul marked for ascending . " she said , " Remember what I said about Corpses falling in love with humans being against the law ? "
" Your laws ? " I said cynically and she chuckled .
" Yes my laws , that are based on the rules of existence . I only adhere to the rules made long ago . And one rule is to prevent Corpses to get in contact with humans . " she said , " That's what I told my soul charge , ' stay away from humans ' but did he listen ? No . "
" Why must Corpses stay away from humans ? " I asked and she groaned .
" Two linked souls feed and grow together . But if the connection breaks and the souls seperate, it will be like ripping a tree in half . " she said softly , " It won't kill it but it will be agony . So I ask again ; Are you sure you'll be okay when he leaves this realm ? Because I am sure you won't . Many other Beloveds have gone insane from the grief that consumed them . How will you cope ? "
I took a moment to process this piece of information and after a moment i breathed out deeply .
" Will Bee feel the same when he crosses over ? " I asked and she groaned .
" You're more concerned for him than yourself huh ? ... Well , colour me impressed then ." she said folding her arms , " He will but as soon as he crosses over , it will disappear completely and he'll know only peace ."
" Then I'm going to be fine knowing he is going to be fine ." I said and she tisked her tongue .
" Humans ... absolutely unfathomable . " she said shaking her head , " I tell you that you're in for a world of hurt but instead of asking for a way out, you instead say I'll take it for the one I love . "
" I'm not sure I love Bee actually ." I confessed and she raised her eyebrows .
" What ? You're joking right ? If you didn't love him , your souls wouldn't be linked as tightly as they are . " she said , " Or rather , you do love him but you are afraid . A coward ."
" Hey , I'm not a coward . I'm just new to love and relationships . Bee's my first everything ! " I said , " My first kiss , my first embrace and everything else . "
" Wait ... did you two consummate your relationship yet ? " she asked and I frowned confused .
" Did you sleep with him , mortal ? " she asked and I blushed , " Oh , so no . Hmmm interesting . "
" I ... I don't ... I have never ... it's complicated ." I said flustered and she chuckled .
" Oh , yes . It's more than complicated , it's none existent . Where is the passion of youth gone in this world ? " she asked , " The Roman era had more exciting youths . They knew how to show their partners true romance . I always found it in bad taste but it's just mortal nature . You kiss , you embrace and you consummate . "
" It's more complicated than that now . This the twentieth century and things are more ... harder to express ." I said but she tisked her tongue .
" I read the mind of that big human I was in earlier . He is planning on consummating his relationship with your friend later this week . How is it complicated now again ? " she said but I gaped as she said that . Steve was planning on - No ! I wouldn't even finish the thought !
" That's great for them but I'm not rushing things with Bee . I'll take my time . " I said and she gave me a look .
" Your time ? You don't even know how long he will be here . What if tomorrow we find his unfinished business and we leave ... will you be pleased with the time you've spent together ? Although I personally don't care ,I don't want the soul to whine about you and him not having enjoyed each other . You're a Beloved for light's sake , shove that fear in the void and live your life . You mortals care to much about preserving time to use later without even knowing that this is later . You want to know why so many souls choose reincarnation instead of becoming ghosts ? They are hoping to come back as humans and live life more freely and less concerned about time . Why ? Because they wasted their first life and want to make up for it with a second one. It's an eternal cycle of stupidity in my opinion .You have one chance in life , why did you wait so long to live it and now are begging for a second one . Mortals don't know what they want , until they realise they had it and lost it . Not all of them come back as humans of course , they're warned that but they don't care as long as they come back to live a full life , either as an animal or a person . Foolishness . Use the life you have . Why wait to depart and then bother us celestial spirits with your grievances ? You lived once and you wasted it , sorry but not our fault ..."
I sat looking at her as she continued rambling with a thoughtful frown . This sounded just like what Terry said the other day about living once .
Was I really afraid to love fully ? To give myself to Bee completely ? Was my reason of taking my time a valid reason in the circumstances ?
No , I realised , Bee could disappear any day and I would be filled with alot of regrets about us . I was afraid to love him completely because of this and so I didn't always rush into anything romantic when it came to us . I was dragging our relationship slowly along and would be surprised when I turned around and found Bee gone .
Would I really be fine ? i asked myself .
I wasn't so sure then .
" You only live once ." Terry's words played in my head and I felt a blood rushing decision .
Could I ? Right now ? I wondered , mom and Gus were sleeping and I could ask Olibia to -
" Olibia , where are you sleeping tonight ? " I asked her and she raised a brow having been thrown off her stride.
" I don't need sleep but I was thinking I could stay with the soul . " she said , " Why are you asking? Do you want something from me ? I can't give you eternal youth or anything like that . "
" No , I just wanted to ask if ... you could sleep in my room tonight . I want to sleep in Bee's room. " I said and she nodded her until the full implications hit her head .
" Wait ... you mean - "
" I just want to sleep there because it's cooler ." I lied and he face said she knew I was lying .
" Fine , I would like to sleep actually... it's a very nice thing to do to not think about stressful things . " she said , " I have alot of stressful things on my mind tonight . "
" Okay .. then I'll just - " I started to get my blanket but she stopped me .
" Hold it . You are not going like this are you ? " she asked me and I nodded my head , " Oh dear child , listen to me . No , infact come here . "
.
I moved toward her and she touched my chest and i felt a wave of passion rise inside me . I wanted Bee right then , i wanted him to hold me and have his way with me .
I looked at Olibia with surprise , What was this ?
" Alittle gift for the mood . " she said with a smile , " Now , get going . Off with you . Good night . "
" Good night . " I said softly and turned to Bee's room . I walked over with my blanket and pillow , and knocked once .
" Nymph ? " Bee asked as he opened the door . I bit my lip as I looked at him, my passionate emotions shaking through me . I really wished Olibia hadn't touched me .
" Bee , can I sleep with you tonight ? " I asked and he nodded his head .
" Yes , Nymph . " he said opening the door for me and I walked inside . When the door closed behind me , I dropped the blanket and pillow to the floor . I took a steady breath and turned to Bee .
" Nymph ? " he asked me and I swallowed before walking up and putting my hands around his neck . I drew him in and kissed him passionately .
" Nymph ? " Bee asked as I drew back , it looked like he was confused about what I was doing and so was I alittle bit . What was I doing ? I thought fleetingly but the passion inside me knew what it wanted.
" I want to ... sleep with you Bee . Tonight ... if you want to ." I said softly and felt a blush on my cheeks .
" Are you sure ? " he asked me and I knew he understood what I meant .
" Yes ... because that's what I want to do with my ... boyfriend . Bee , will you be my boyfriend ? " I asked him and he nodded his head .
" I will ... my Beloved . " he said gently and I felt a filling sensation inside me as if I was being completed . I felt whole .
I smiled at him . He was the person I loved . The person I wanted and I loved him . I love Bee , I thought happily .
" Come on , my Corpse . " i said with a wide smile , " Let's do it then . "
" Yes , my Beloved . " Bee said making me chuckle softly and he kissed me and I drew back further into the room with him .
