Midnight Tales

Im a guardian?

From the last page
I discovered an underground torture room, so I went in and then I saw a woman.

Next
A middle aged woman chained, naked, with many lacerations all over her body was breathing too fast so I rushed over to her.

I took the key from a holder that was a little bit near to her and opened the chains.
I took her out of that house and to my own house. I took care of her, cleaned her wounds and before I knew it her skin was like a new born baby. I was perplexed.

Then she woke up.
"I give my guardian Ares as a gift to you, to protect you In good and bad and to also give you the wisdom you need." She said touching my chest.

Her hands began to glow and then I felt a presence that was never in me settle in me.

"That is your guardian." She stated.

"What is all this." I asked looking confused.

"Do you believe in the supernaturals?"

"Yes, maybe eem...mm I believe that humans are not the only intelligent beings living in this big ass world." I replied

"Well I guess I should tell you that those stories you've heard or watched about the supernaturals are all real, well apart from the really bizarre ones, we're just like humans, only a bit different."

"What? Okay now that's just impossible."
Seriously what does this woman take me for, a gullible idiot? I don't fricking believe anything a person tells me, been there done that.

"No its not."
I've given you my guardian Ares so automatically you are a guardian.

"Ooookay what is a guardian?"
I understand that when a person is tortured for a long time they become delusional, so that's what she is delusional.

"A guardian is a person that is higher than every leader of a specie and whose presence brings about peace."

"Sooo what about your story." I asked itching to hear her story.

"Well just so you know, thorne is not a person, it is an association of 20 different people and their minions. They wanted me to figure out the prophecy so they could kill the people or take the object from the prophecy. I did not know who or what those are so they killed my mate and tortured me for.....

"What's today's date?" She asked while staring blankly at the walls.

"Friday the 30th." I replied

"Twelve weeks today."

By now she was shedding tears in the way that only a person who had gone through the agony she passed through will feel, and for the first time in four years I felt pity as I looked at her.

"I- I couldn't take it any longer I forced Ares to go against the purpose for his creation and releasing his powers killing everyone in the house. I was angry."

"I'm sorry but what happens now."

"Well since l have no mate that I can share the burden with I die."

"Just like that?" I asked because this supernatural stuff was getting too complicated.

"Yes and maybe just maybe I'll meet my mate there."

With that she went to sleep. True to her words she died while sleeping and she was buried but I was the only person who attended it.

With that, that chapter of my life was closed
