Asmodeus

Chapter 13

Wow. There are so many flowers that it reminds me of the fairies by the well but magnified greatly. They bloom in so many different colours and the smell is delightful as the breeze pushes it into my nostrils. So many people work around us, some picking the flowers, some carrying baskets, some chopping wood. They all have beautiful long white hair and big pointy ears,wearing clothes that look handmade from the wilderness around them. I had never seen something so mesmerising. "Can we help you?" A gentle voice speaks as a woman carrying a woven basket approaches us, her eyes lavender purple. "We wish to seek sanctuary for a couple of days if you would be so kind" Silas says politely as the woman looks at all of us individually "very well" she nods "follow me" she turns and begins to walk, just like that, no questions asked? We follow her down a flower path and into a large field with rows of wooden yurts, "I'm Amara, my brother Arwen is around here somewhere you can't miss him, his hair is always braided with flowers intertwined, if you need anything just find one of us, we are always around" she smiles as we continue to walk towards the end of the row "we keep the spare yurts down here, pick anyone you like, we keep them stocked with essentials, snacks, clothes, toiletries please take anything you may need and when you have freshened up if you wish to eat walk back the way we came and turn left, the communal eating area is just down there" she smiles "is there anything else I can do for you?" she questions and I think we are all just a little taken back by the happy hosting "thank you" is all I manage to say as I make my way into the yurt at the end, closing the curtains for doors behind me.
It definitely looked bigger on the outside,inside was just a large bed, layered with fur and a dresser with a mirror above it, on the left side of the yurt was another curtain and I pulled it back to see a bathroom with a large steel tub and an open shower. I really want to freshen up, but I really need to just lay down, I slip my boots off and lay down on the bed, letting my head sink into the feather pillow. "Hey" I hear a whisper, Asmodeus "hey" I whisper back as he lays beside me "you can't sleep my dear, not yet" he whispers as he stokes the hair from my face "sit up for me" he says as he forces me to sit up,I moan out in pain "I know I know but I'm going to make you better" he says as he rests my head against his chest. I feel his body warmth as he holds me and all my pain just seeps away as he lays back with me still resting on his chest. "Asmodeus" I mutter with my eyes barely open "yes my dear" he responds "please don't make me dream" I whisper as my eyes shut, the last thing I feel is his lips press against my forehead.
"Beatrix," I hear Silas knocking on the wood "yeah" I groan as I sit up. Silas enters and I slide myself off the bed. "You went to sleep with a head injury?" he says concerned "no" I shake my head."Asmodeus..." I look back to the bed to see he's disappeared "nevermind" I mutter, "You let him heal you?" he asks, growing angry."He stayed with me to make sure I was. " Silas cuts me off."He stayed with you?" he says almost jealous."Why does it matter Silas you're acting like you..." I stop before I say what I'm thinking. He's acting like he cares for me,like he's jealous. "I'm going to get some dinner,I was wondering if you wanted to join" he says calming down "I will meet you up there I need to shower and change" I respond as he leaves. I walk over to the dresser and open the top drawer, underwear in all different sizes, I open the second drawer plain black tops and leggings in all different sizes. I open the third drawer , shirts, jumpers and hoodies. The bottom drawer was mens items, boxers, jeans, etc. They really are prepared for anything. In the bathroom was an under the sink unit with makeup, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair brushes and accessories. They even have deodorants and lotions. The shower was stocked with amazing, smelling floral body washes with so many shampoos and conditioners to choose from. I think I love this place. I shower and finally run a brush through my hair, I even apply little makeup, so I look less... meh. I cover my dark circles with concealer and apply mascara, then coat my lips with a clear gloss. I wear plain black leggings and a black long sleeve top,I also take a red and black checked shirt to keep the slight chill away as I head to Daeva's yurt, I want to see how she's doing if she isn't up at the communal dinning area. "Daeva Daeva" I say loudly as I open the curtain to her yurt, only it wasn't hers, it was Jasper's and he was in bed with another man "oh my god, I'm so sorry" I say covering my eyes and exiting the yurt making my way to the dining area. I had no idea that Jasper was... He's so... I know I don't know him but he presents himself so... Wait, am I stereotyping right now? Oh no, okay, I'm overthinking this. He's gay and that's okay.
"Beatrix," I hear Jasper yell after me as he throws his arms into his top and makes his way towards me. I stop in my tracks and face him "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I thought it was Daeva's yurt" I blurt out "please don't tell anyone" he pleads "you haven't told anyone?" I ask as he looks to the ground."I tried to tell my dad, but he... Well he sent me with you guys as punishment I guess" he rubs the back of his neck and I can see he's worried "Jasper, your dad will come around eventually, but don't worry I won't tell anyone because it's not my secret to tell" I reassure him "my dad's a dick" he tries to joke " if he can't embrace you for you then yes, he's a dick" I laugh as I watch him relax a little "if you ever want to talk, just know i'm here" I smile as I reach out to hug him. He embraces me tightly, I forgot just how strong werewolves can be. "Now go, don't leave him waiting in there alone." I laugh as I point back to his yurt and Jasper lets out a small laugh before heading back. I continue my way to the dining area and I couldn't help but wonder how they do it, how the elves live so... Communal. They have to come this way every day, multiple times a day and I normally want to rip off heads if someone tries to speak to me before coffee.
