Dark And Deep Blue

chapter 5

"You're sure????" I asked hesitantly looking to and fro from Aaron to the dead body.

"I'm positive. It's the only way....".He gently pressed my hand and gave me assurance. It was good to know that I could trust someone completely.

I gave him a weak smile. Still the memories of killing Austin were fresh before my eyes. He didn't even shout when I mercilessly took away his life.He Just stood in utter shock.

I bought a white bedsheet from my room.
"Here". I gave him touching his warm hand. His hand was too warm against mine.

He wrapped the dead body from head to toe. Though I couldn't see any blood ,which is my fault of course; it was clearly seen that there was a body under the sheet.our plan was to take him to the woods and burn his body. I know it was cruel but it was the only way I could be saved.

"You wanna come?" He asked .

"I'm not sure. I'll come. ....". I replied.

I clutched my hand against my mother's locket.
It glows whenever I am upset.

Around noticed it too. So I tucked it inside my shirt.

I always wear it,as it makes me feel close to my mother.

He hurried towards the door.
I glanced on the wall clock.
It was around 11 pm. I hadn't noticed the time as I was busy mourning about his death.
Aaron however calmed me down. I had sobbed like a lost puppy in his arms.
He was like a part of mine who would always be there for me, no matter what.

I always feel safe around him.
No matter how much ever he irritates me by calling me princess.

Our relationship was really unique. From his side it was pure care and love.....but from my side it was the real affection. Not romantic ones as he wants it to be, yet love....

He hugged me with one arm and I leaned on his shoulder.

"Princess, be calm?We aren't humans...... You dont have to think about it. It's your nature.  Anyway, the only thing I care is to see you happy. Not like a zombie mummy crying over everytime." His voice was silvery and low.
He joked even at a moment like this.

"I know " my voice was rough and bit appealing .

After few seconds I spoke.
"I'll go and get the car, you bring him,...the dead body outside".

I'll grabbed my keys from the table and went out.
I scrutinised the area but found none. I gestured him to come out.

"Let me drive ". His voice was more like commanding than asking.
However I nodded.

It was exactly 11:57 when we reached the woods.

"I'll go and grab some kerosene from the cottage, till then don't move."He declared.
I was somewhat uncomfortable with it. My instincts said me to go with him, but I couldn't go to his house.

He is a wolf. His whole house is filled with wolves who hate my kind. Though his dad is encouraging sometimes, it doesn't change the fact. I couldn't even leave the dead body here alone. So I stayed.

He understood my hesitation.
"Don't worry, I'll be right back. ". He kissed my forehead and left me alone in the darkness.

Let me take out his body till Aaron returns....

I opened the door, just then, something heavy fell on the car.
Or someone. .....

A Sanguine.....

My body screamed for a run but my instincts told me not to.
If I'd make a move then this sanguine can just pin me on the floor. My upper body was still inside the car and I hurried to find something. I opened the drawer and acted as if nothing had happened, where as my heart was screaming for a run with the thought of the sanguine which was just inches away from me.
