Cursed

Meeting

The next morning I got up made coffee, black, no milk. I turned on the radio to hear the morning announcements. Nothing new, no reports of the girl.

That was when I heard shifting. I looked on the floor, sure enough she decided to wake. I let her take in her surroundings before I brought any attention to myself.

Once she realized I existed I said, "Hello, did you sleep well?" I doubted it though considering I knocked her unconscious, dragged her back here and dropped her on the floor.

" Huh, who are you? Where am I? Why am I here?" She said in a very confused voice.

"Well, here I saw what we do then, I ask you question, and you answer to the best of your ability and I will do the same for you." I hoped she would agree with these terms, they seemed fair. Right?

"That seems fair. I slept like I had gone through a hurricane. Now, who are you?" She replied after a moment of thinking on the terms.

I inwardly smiled, she knew absolutely nothing about me, so I could tell her anything, and she would not the difference. "My name is Nemian."

"Your lying. You replied to fast for a person who just took some one hostage."

Clever, "Well, you can tell a nail from a screw. My name is confidential. You, Camm, though had a good thought."

"How did you know my name?"

"Well, what kind of kidnapper does not who they made the kidnapee. I was told by my, uh, bosses to bring you in. Why, I couldn't tell you."

"Good to know. So where am I?"

"You are in my humble 'home'. I have been here for almost six months. What do you think.

" Oh it is  just peachy! You know considering the fact that I am in a kidnappers apartment, who has been probably stalking me for months. Where else have you lived?"

"Around, almost everywhere really. A week here, a month there."
I replied. Although it was the partial truth. The realm of the Blessed changes position constantly. I have seen many things in my life. "What does your family usually Mialan to?"

"Either Blessed or Mortaled." She replied simply. No lies, she came from an average family who lives endlessly as a plant or animal after death. Under my rule. Huh, is there a connection? "What about you?"

Now do I lie, or spin the truth? Let's so spin the truth. "Mostly Blessed, but a few Mortaled. Would you like any coffee?" I am polite, maybe I can learn some things from her. "I have some bread too, if you want and a few apples."

"I'll have a coffee, milk and sugar. And an apple if you don't mind." She said softly and shyly.

"Of course, now you call me if you need something but I will just be a minute. I walked over to the small kitchen area and grabbed an Apple from a bowl, and got her coffee ready. I was surprised she hadn't stood up yet. Pleasantly surprised. I walked back in to her fiddling with the radio. "Here we go, a coffee with milk and sugar accompanied by an apple." I say handing her the food. 

I was nervous, I had had a friend coming over today but last night I sent an eagle to contact him. Yet, I fear the "god" was drunk at the time and will show up at the most inconvenient  of times. The girl was glaring at me. "So, do you want to tell me your name?" she asked.

"No, I've told you this already. My name is none of your concern," and with that I got up and went to the kitchen-area-corner. I spiked my coffee, this was going to be a long day. Suddenly there was a loud pop and a scream. I ran into the living room/bedroom area to find Balir, the Blessed  of youth, children, and new life. He had shaggy yet handsome brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a sophisticated yet child like face.

I stood back and sipped my coffee silently. Then Balir noticed me. "Hey, you got any fire water? I haven't had any since last night. And you didn't tell me it was fun last night, I could have sworn you said it was work. So, how was it?" he questioned. Blair was so openly implying that I slept with her.

How much of an idiot was he?! But I wasn't the one who voiced this, Camm was "Excuse me! He kidnapped me you idiot! No way in hell would I let him sleep with me!"she then proceeded to throw her apple at him.  

I laughed at this. "Oh, sorry Nero, I guess work does have it's perks though. So, what did you have to do this time?"

A gasp escaped Camm's life, she must have realized who we were. Blessed, and not just any, the two youngest and most powerful. She started praying on the spot before I started laughing and pulled her to her feet. "No need for formalities now. But you, Balir, what where you thinking just popping in here, and then telling her who I am! I told you I had work!"

Then there was a knock on the door, I knew it would be one of the Cursed come to check on me. What I wasn't expecting was exactly what I got. It was my counter part. Heir to the throne of the Underworld, Zia, the Cursed of Wild and Nature.
