An Eminence? No, I am just a reaper (OC story)

You said too much

Speech = ''.....''

Thoughts = ... ...

....Even a dead man may not have a hollow heart ....

''What do you want...?''

''To sleep...''

His eye twitched behind his mask as he glared at the woman who had no decency to look embarrass or guilty for what she had just uttered

''You jest...''

He growled, almost a second more later than he would have liked as he witnessed the woman giggle before him.

And yet...he knew that she was not.

The tone, the position of her lips and flare of longing behind her eyes. A nagging suspicion settling at the back of his mind about what kind of slumber she was referring to. One that he was bitterly familiar with too...

She did not answer him either, deciding to change the subject when she noticed his silence.

''So why are you here, strange one..? I saw you take on the scenery..., even try to grab the soil only for it to die in your grip.., but I have the feeling that you are not here for the scenery...for term of a better word''

If he could have, he may as-well have blushed at it. It seemed that she had seen far more than he would have liked.

If someone were to know about this he was sure he would not hear the end of it.

''You already have the answer to your very own question...''

''But I do not..''

She said, shaking her head and with it her long soft her hair followed.

Perhaps she was right, perhaps she was not. He did not care...

''You do..''

She rolled her eyes.

''Fine I do, happy..?''

If she was waiting for his response, he would not deign her the privilege to hear it.

She sighed, mumbling words under her breath before she turn around to regard him.

''I am sorry if I caused you any discomfort before..., it was not my intention. I was just merely curious.., not many people wander here these days...''

He shook his head.

''Your intentions matter little to me..., now dispense with your foolishness and half hearted games you try to weave. Your tricks wont work, apparition..so don't waste any more of your time. Believe, it will work better for you that way..''

The girl was confused, shock even given the way her eyes shrunk a bit. Her voice though was still rather calm...

''How did you know?''

''You believe you are the first one to try? That my mind is so young that I could not have been baptise in the fires of madness to see through this charade? Please...you are insulting me...''

That seemed to appease her for now, nodding her head before she looked at him with a strange emotion.

It could not be respect..

He was sure of it..

''You are certainly...something else...''

''Most say the same..., until they cant''
