☆From dust you were made, and to dust, you shall return☆
(I don't really know any pics I can use for this chapter so I'll just describe them)
Main character(1)
Pomona, a black woman who in is her mid 20s. This is during ancient times btw.
Main character(2)
Albanus, a black man who is in his late 20s.
{Narrator's POV} Pomona was a young woman who was born in a poor family, in a poor country called Kraniam. Kraniam had a dirty king who only cared about himself and money. Nothing else mattered to him not even the people in his kingdom. Therefore, the people were poor. Because of taxes and prices of the needed materials.
Pomona lived a sad life, due to her "unladylike" ability. Ever since she was born, she was disposed upon. The people of her country disposed her because her ability could cause harm if not "treated" as it should. Or in other words she was locked up in her family's house ever since birth. While her mother was going into labor, Pomona almost made her mom explode.
As a consequence, Pomona was put in external punishment for something she couldn't control. Stuck in the little house 24 hours 7 days a week. Only able to clean, cook, sleep and read books. She felt miserable and helpless. Everyone treated her like she merely a dog. Due to this, she had hatred stored in her for everyone who came across her. Except for this one fellow named Albanus.
Albanus greeted and kept Pomona company each day. Thus, Albanus was the only person Pomona trusted.
{Pomona's POV} I was reading my favorite book in my lonely room, when I heard someone walking in through the front door. Assuming it was Albanus. He always visited me during this hour. Late in the night till early in the morning. If only he could stay with me everyday. Yet, my parents and everyone else, do not want anyone to be potentially harmed by me. If they are I shall be put to death.
No one, not even me, knows my ability I've had since birth. But Albanus. Albanus was smart in sciences. So he tried little experiments on me. I trusted and loved him enough for him to do this. "Albanus, is that you?" I whispered for him to hear. "Yes, it is me, Pomona. Come down so I can conduct experiments on you." Albanus replied back in a whisper. I set my book down on my bed and walked down the steps to greet Albanus.
After seeing me, Albanus said "Gee! You are tremendously beautiful Pomona." He then bowed before me grabbing my hand and kissing it. "And you, Albanus, are exceptionally handsome." I said chuckling to myself. He noticed then and began to chuckle, but his smile soon turned to a saddened face. "What seems to be the matter Albanus?" I asked concerned for him. "Oh Pomona, thank you for being concerned for me. I am a gloomy, for my grandmother turned very sick prior before this." He informed me looking aside trying to hold in his tears.
"I am terribly sorry for your grandmother. If only I could help in someway." I genuinely said feeling a little sad myself. "It is fine Pomona, all I need is for you to help me with experiments and I will feel happier!" Albanus said holding both my hands and looking into my eyes. "Of course Albanus! If it will make you joyful." I replied causing him to grin and conducted the experiment. Sticking gently with needles and drawing blood, looking at my dna.
This time though, it seemed different from all those other times. He actions and the way he stutters from time to time when he talks. He has never stuttered around me before. What is he hiding from me? "Albanus," I called for his attention. "Dear, what seems to be in those needles of yours..?" I asked. I never asked this question before because I love and trust him too much to question him.
"O dear, it just contains the orderly medicine." Albanus replied without even looking my direction. Though, I could feel he was lying. About what though? What am I even thinking?! Albanus would never lie to me, we're lovers! Just as I'm in my thoughts he sticks me with the needle. At first it felt normal, until the "medicine" started flowing into my body. Tons of unbearable pain started coming over my body. "Albanus, it is painful! Stop the experiment!" I quietly yell to not wake my parents who are supposedly still asleep at the moment.
Albanus continues to stick me with even more needles. Adding to the already unbearable pain. "I'm so sorry Pomona..." Were the last words I heard Albanus say before soon expiring, turning into dust from the injections.
Flashback

{Narrator's POV} Albanus was walking down a dark alley to get to his Pomona and give her some food. When he heard,"Albanus!" Pomona's father, Dimitri, said while approaching him. Albanus never liked Dimitri. Dimitri was the one who treated Pomona the worst. Dimitri hated Pomona so much, one day he just stopped giving her food and water. In hopes for her to starve and or dehydrate to death. Therefore, he, Albanus had to sneak her leftover food and water. He couldn't buy a fresh batch because it was too expensive.
"What is it, Dimitri?" Albanus annoyingly answered back, stopping in his tracks. "Where are you going what that left over food, Albanus?" Dimitri questioned in suspicion. "I'm just simply feeding a poor cat I've found." Albanus said trying to cover up what he was really there for. "I know your true reason Albanus. You're going to feed Pomona, that witch doesn't need food!" Dimitri then slapped the food out of Albanus's hand. Albanus was about to storm off but come another time until he was stopped by Dimitri.
"You are smart in medicine correct?" Dimitri demanded a answer from Albanus as he pulling him by his collar up against the alley wall. "I shall not answer to a disrespectful man!" Albanus chocked on his words as he was then being strangled. "Answer me you wooden head!" Dimitri demanded. "Yes! I am smart in medicine!" Albanus coughed as he spoke.
"You will replace your medicine with poison and inject Pomona with it." Dimitri said slightly letting go of Albanus's collar. "But Dimitri that will"Albanus was interpreted by Dimitri punching him. "That's the point you fool! If you don't I'll tell the whole village you are secretly helping Pomona." Dimitri threatened him. "Okay okay I will poison her." Albanus said putting his hands up.

"From dust you were made, and to dust, you shall return." Dimitri said as he swept Pomona's dust and threw it out in the wind as Albanus stood there frozen, as he cried. The love of his life has just turned to dust in front of his very eyes.
