Assassin of Hearts

Later this night

That was a very Sphinx-like meeting. She is known for her riddles.
I wish I knew where she was hinting at.
Maybe this is the last day of my dark life. Maybe I am finding my soul back today.
I take her words as the seal of approval for my venture into the country.
As I near the opening of the forest, I see bright things. Are they stars?
There are big symmetrical caves, that men have built for themselves.
Wow. It's always amazing what humans are capable of. A few centuries can change their lives. Who said humans are not capable of magic?
I hear voices, I take cover under the symmetrical caves. I don't want to kill an innocent yet again.
Ah, new souls, look at them, the aura around the heart is all baby pink. Okay okay, I'm a girl after all.
I walk the other way around the cave to reach a huge cave, they seem to have a lot of starry things, have humans learnt how to bring down specks of sunlight for themselves in this dark night? It looks nothing like fire, I wonder what it is.
Many humans walk the path, I rely on  my cloak to keep me restrained.
"Look momma, chee is gettin dreshed for Hello-weem sooooo early." A human cub calls out. What the crap is hello-weeem? Silently walk away.
His heart is still full of youth. He is going to live a pretty healthy long life.
It's completely dark now. The caves are no longer lit. There are few long sticks made of metal holding the stars and lining the path. The Moon is high up in the ground. It's so quiet here, a complete contrast to before. Maybe I will find my soul here. Dark soul usually have a thing to dark places.
I smell blood. I was so right.
A man is dead across the road. Looks like he fell off the tall cave. My bad. Looks like a total accident.
But I thought I felt a presence here. Nah, it's just been a long time without humans.
I move further away from the scene. If there is a higher power, let him give the soul a peaceful life next.
I hear rustling of footsteps. He is right over the body. Standing next to it.
Wearing all black. Look at the aura around his heart. It's all black. His hair is jet black. Olive skin. Pretty grey eyes. Ah, I have forgotten how pretty these human men can be.
He looks right back at me. No fear at all. Brave. I run across the street almost flying. When his aura changes to bright red. And I stop dead in my tracks. How the hell did his aura change.
Black auras never change. Dark is dark, your good isn't going to mask the darkest of deeds you do. Shit, I must have dropped the cloak in a haste. I drop on my knees as my power pushes me to go to him. But I can't. I won't ever assassinate an innocent's heart. Ever again.
I stand up. Don't look at him. I can't kill him. Not him. Not him. I keep repeating this mantra over and over again. As I almost run away. Like I was trying to save my life, instead of his.
I don't know where I am now. But there are many stars here again and the caves look grand. Humans can't travel as fast as me. I must be safe now.
Craaaap. I just left the cloak behind. My life is ruined. I feel more dreadful then ever before. A loss. A life of eternal darkness awaits me. I am walking back to the woods now. I give up.
Double craaaap. Dark souls I saved. Walk across the street, hand in hand. I feel the power pushing me towards them. I buckle again on my feet. Gather all the light that has been left in me, get up on my feet. Start walking backwards when my power tries it's hardest to push me forwards.
*Thump* I hit some human. Great way to go. The human male slides his one hand across the waist and one around my neck. Wrong choice human. The wind around me gathers speed and funnels up around me, like a tornado. My vision is tinged to greyish black. Sparks are flying everywhere.
I swivel around to find the weird Hunan from earlier. Wait, how did he reach me to over here, so fast? What the heck? His aura still a red. Weird. I knew I saw black.
Wait. Wait. Wait. How the hell is he resisting a tornado this strong? He stands there unmoving.
I can't think straight anymore. The pull is too strong. I bring my black hands to his neck and squeeze his carotids. The redness around his heart increases. I lean in onto his chest near his heart to suck the life out of him. To hell with going to hell, because I'm not going to anyway. *smirk*
His hands tug on my hair too strong. He pulls me up to his face. This is all wrong. He is too strong a human. His eyes are an amazing grey. I can still see the aura. I need to have it. I bend down again and he pulls me strongly this time.
Brings his lips to mine. I have never felt anything like this before. I feel another rush of power. A completely different one. The tornado has grown in size and speed. He moves his lips on mine. So soft. And goes down to my jaw line to my neck. My hands grasp his black attire. My hands are so near his heart.
He kisses on my neck and looks down on me with his gorgeous grey eyes. "Feisty and beautiful, I've not heard wrong," he says. The deep and husky tint to his voice resonates in my ears.
He pulls away and thrusts something in my hands. My cloak.
All the while, not even a little bit shaken by the tornado around us.
I go for his heart again.
And fall on the ground.
Where is he?
Did he just disappear?
What the actual crap, did he just disappear into thin air?
I've never witness this kind of power ever before.
He is not a human. He is definitely not a human.
For the first time in this immortality, I'm actually scared.
And Stirred.
