Perhaps, because the man knew the vicinity like the back of his hand, rather than luck it was his consideration that we didn't meet a single soul along the way.
It saved us from unnecessary trouble, after all he is now my accomplice.
"We're here."
After walking for a while, the man stopped in front of a somewhat familiar home. A fenced bungalow.
Isn't this the same house that I escaped from?
My gaze went back and forth between Caleb and the house. So he was the one who caught me. Somehow, I felt defeated but then cheered up.
I caught him too, fair and square.
We quietly sneak in from the backyard.
"Wait here. I'm going to go somewhere first."
Caleb twisted the door knob and lightly pushed it open. He casually enters while I stay hot behind his heel.
My eyes roam around. We are in the living room.
"In the meantime, stay here and wait for me. I'll be back shortly."
The man looked me hard in the eyes, seemingly thinking hard about something.
"What?" I asked unable to withstand his gaze.
"Nothing."
I followed him with my eyes as he suddenly disappeared on a corner only to appear while holding a few pieces of clothes. He was already dressed in dry clothes.
"You can take a shower outside, just go next to the door we came in, you'll see the bathroom. You can use it and these."
All I can do is to stare at him as he puts the folded clothes atop the table.
"Then I'll be going."
He looked uneasy as he sped away without even waiting for my reply. I guess he is in a hurry to bring the unfortunate news.
I was the only one left in a stranger's home for the owner left in a hurry. It's quite rude to leave your guest. He's not hospitable.
"What is this? Is he testing me?"
The sudden thought occurred to me.
It's not like I will change my mind and run away with his absence.
My gaze inadvertently stopped at the clothes he provided. I look at my toes.
He is surprisingly considerate. Though I don't know if I should consider him as kind or stupid.
Grabbing the clothes from the table, I traced my footsteps back and found the door to the bathroom.
It is simple and clean. Equipped with a shower, a wooden tub and a toilet as well as some toiletries. I feel a bit apologetic to step inside.
It's been a long time since I last took a thorough bath. I rummaged through the room and found a wrapped soap, shampoo and a wash cloth.
I took a nice quick bath before remembering the mess I made, so after getting myself clean and dry, I used his torn shirt as a rug and thoroughly wiped the floor.
Fortunately, Caleb is not back yet.
Wearing a shirt big enough to reach my thigh, I went back to the living room with a towel in hand, the towel was with the clothes he gave me.
“Why is this so hard to dry?”
It’s nice to have lush hair. But I can't help but grumble while shaking the water out.
I continued to mechanically rub it as I wonder what I should do from here.
It is a bit frustrating that I have to tweak my plan because of the sudden incident.
I squeeze the moisture out of my hair as I remember my purpose for following the man, reorganizing them in my head.
The most pressing issue is the proclamation I made to Caleb. While it is true that I felt responsible for the child’s sudden disappearance, it was a decision I came up with: consideration and selfishness.
First, I need to get to the bottom of this incident. Something tells me that the murder and me shifting into human form is not just a coincidence.
Moreover, the child might know what happened before I lost consciousness. I'm practically betting on the fact that she's still alive.
The fact that I was not able to shift for years despite trying every means I could think of- what change? What triggers my cursed life to change.
It's like a pie suddenly fell from the sky. It was too sudden, it made me uncomfortable.
Is this the ‘gift’?
The first gift I received from a stranger was too heavy for me to bear. Thinking about it makes me feel sick to the pit of my stomach.
Though, I could not deny the fact that I am beyond thrilled for gaining my human form, everything is just so suspicious.
I hate unwarranted gifts the most.
Second, the man is the first person I saw when I woke up, there is a big possibility that I can extract answers from him, too.
Of course what I told him earlier has some kind of truth. His cooperation is crucial but not as necessary as the importance of this village.
Instinct told me that I will get clues from here.
Lastly, he looks so easy to deceive like a puppy. I feel as if I’ll be on the losing end if I do not take advantage of him.
...
What is this?
A suffocating feeling assaulted my lungs as a dry heat began creeping on my insides.
"Wait-"
I frowned, holding him down, I pressed myself closer on him. Tilting my head to get into a better position to capture his soft lips.
'Don't hinder me.'
I bit his lip and let my tongue wander in every corner of his mouth. Teasing his tongue with mine in a dance of oblivion and need.
'Not enough.'
As if reading my urgency, his mouth opened wider making me sigh in contentment.
Why does his mouth taste subtly sweet? Its making me greedy
"Easy."
I sucked his sweetness down to my throat and began licking his lips, nibbling until my tongue met a sweeter drop of fluid from his lips.
Pulling myself up, I welcomed a mouthful of air. Resting my forehead on his as I greedily inhale his scent.
