Death Found His Bride

04

*DEATH

I stared at her angelic face. Swallowing the lump in my throat at her gorgeous form. She was beautiful in that black dress. I stepped closer and she took a step back. Everytime I step closer she steps back. I grinned when I saw her eyes widen when she realized that the wall was already behind her.

She's trapped.

She gulped her beautiful browns staring back at my red ones. I trapped her by using my arms and whispered, "Can't move now, can't we?" And I chuckled when I saw her eyes widen some more. Her confused expression adding to her adorableness.

"W-what are y-you doing?"she stuttered.

I just looked at her and she seems to be confused at my actions. Who wouldn't be? A scary looking guy would show up days before taking the souls of people and then he takes the soul of her mom and would appear days after that in her room and stare at her. Normal isn't it?

"W-what do y-you n-need?" She asked, snapping me out of my trance.

"I'm here to take what's mine." I answered.

Her eyes snapped back to mine and she covered her mouth in shock. I was about to explain everything to calm her down when she gasped and exclaimed, "This is your apartment?!"

I laughed. I literally am breathless by laughing so hard. I don't actually remember laughing this hard since I was created.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and faced her again. She looks at me like I'm crazy and I just cleared my throat and regained my composure.

"You got it all wrong."I said

"Then what? I don't think I had anything in here that belongs to you, you see  everything that is in here belongs to the apartment owner and me. Unless the owner owes the refrigerator to you. Are you sidelining as a loan shark as well? Or *gasps* could the owner see you ?" She blabbed.

I sighed. She's so noisy. I sat down on her bed and stared at her. She's still talking and I couldn't understand what she's talking about. She started talking about loan sharks and discounts. She also keeps on talking about the owner of this apartment and the rest is a blur to me. She noticed me being silent the whole time and she seems to be frightened again.

I sighed. The gods really hate me. They give me my mate and it's a noisy and bipolar one. And most of all, innocent. Dang it.

"I'm not here for your fridge and everything you talked about."I told her

She inclined her head and looked at me.
"Then what??"

I grinned at her and she seemed to tense up by my sudden behavior.

"Dear innocent, I'm here for you."

*Cupid

I groaned when I felt Sierra's presence in a distance. When will she ever realize that I am aware that she's following me? I sighed and continued to look at the man and woman in my book of fates.

I took an arrow placed it at my bow and aimed it at the man. I'm currently in a train station and this is the location where these two are destined to meet. My arrows won't give them sudden feelings like love at first sight but it will connect their destinies together.
I let go of the arrow and it hit the man's heart. I did the same for the woman right at the exact moment when they looked at each other's eyes.

I smiled when the guy tripped and accidentally landed right in front of the girl. His cheeks reddening in humiliation. The woman laughed, embarrassing him more. He quickly stood up and glared at her. She just shrugged and entered the train. He followed moments after that still glaring at the door the woman just entered. I turned to leave and sighed when I saw Sierra's red hair poking out of a post in a distance.

I chuckled. She's adorable. My smile faded when I saw the familiar glint of red light in her chest. I sighed. If I would choose someone I would want to love, I would choose Sierra, but that cannot be. I am the God of Love. I am capable of starting emotions in others but I am not capable to love. So I am created to start emotions but I am not created for someone. So what Sierra wants will never happen. For I could not love her even if I want to. And I know being the goddess of beauty she will find someone who will love her and someone that will make her forget her love for me.

I approached her and she quickly blushed when she saw me. I just smiled at her.

"Let's eat somewhere."I told her.

"O-okay." I messed her hair and she just pouted, making me chuckle.

"Let's go?"

She nodded. I looked at her when she wasn't looking.

I know you will find someone for you Sierra. So very soon.
