Esdeaths Lover

Chapter eighteen

After our meal and her finally giving into the rules of the duel i knew i had finally exceeded. It was safe to say that i was defintley terrified, it wasn't death that scared me in particular it was the thought of her being the one that killed me that ended up sending shivers down my spine. i had thought that maybe she would just refuse to the duel and with me annoying her about it then let me leave but instead she welcomed the duel as if she had been expecting and waiting for me to bring it up. She was in my head now.
I wanted to be alone right now so i could gather together my thoughts but as usual nothing ever went my way and instead she entered. She wasn't in her usual outfit instead she was dressed in a long and elegant dress that had blue roses stitched onto it, the dress really captured her elegance and enhanced her deathly gaze.
"Do you like it?"she almost sounded like a modest noble lady.
"yes i do very much but why are you wearing it?" i was curious but something told me that i really didn't want to know the answer why.
"Well i decided that if we are going to eve a duel then i want to look nice, if i die at least i will become an apparition that is well dressed" i chuckled at this, she almost seemed normal.
Yet she wasn't normal she was a cold hearted killer, possibly my own killer.
I wondered if she was already ready for the duel, i wasn't i knew that for sure. I walked up to her and removed a piece of fluff that had seemed to be entangled on her shoulder. She turned to me and grabbed my hand.
"why do you think you can simply touch me, remember your place" was she joking? she would always invade my space and not care so why can't i when i had only tried to remove a piece of fluff.
"you had a piece of fluff on your shoulder so i tried to remove it" I could tell now that she was apologetic but i didn't want to hear it.
I faced my own self in the mirror, i didn't look like myself. I was thinner. My cheekbones had become a lot more present. I almost seemed to have turned paper. Maybe i wasn't eating well enough? well what does that matter if my eating habits have changed it's not like i can help it. I wanted to sleep forever.
"Dear what are you doing?" her hands slid down on to my waist and tightened around me pulling me in. I could smell her perfume she smelt like fresh roses. It was fitting especially with her outfit. Her breath was warm on my neck and she planted kisses up and down my face,neck and chest. What was she up to?
"if one of us is going to die i might as well make sure we have some last minute fun" i could tell she was smiling at herself.
Her mouth stopped kissing my body and she spun me around. I was looking up at her now and she was looking down at me.
"i have never noticed until now but you have dazzling eyes" it was true her blue eyes were soft and they were beautiful.
At hearing this she pushed me away and walked towards the door just leaving me to be alone in darkness due to the candles cutting out because of the wind created by the door closing. Why did she just leave?
