Bad Love

Chapter 4: Stability

Stability:

noun

The state of being stable.

It's been 3 days since I've last spoken to Cain. Of course, my father thinks I am being a coward.

I'd like to see him face her someday. Let's see how well you handle that, Father.

Currently I am sitting at a café.
They sell coffee, which is this brilliant beverage, neither too sweet nor too bitter.
I wonder why we don't have this back home. The only drink we get there is moschus which tastes atrocious but it has excellent healing abilities and sometimes it helps develop your powers too.

When I was a child I had a friend named Atticus. He didn't have any powers like the rest of us. So everyone teased him, called him a half-blood. He never said anything in protest. He was the one who made me try moschus for the first time. He loved it.
One day, the teasing got really bad. And to distract himself from the insults, Atticus drank an entire bottle of moschus and immediately after that, his wings appeared, as did his powers.

Later, Cain told me that demons without powers or weak demons gain power from it. But nothing can make up for the bad taste it leaves in your mouth.

That's why I like coffee. You know what else I like..that human. She works here. I guess fate really wanted us to meet.

Now that I think about this. Human life isn't too bad. I can just sit here, drink coffee and watch her black hair locks fall over her soft brown eyes again and again and again.

It's actually annoying. I wonder how she tolerates that.

I wonder how she can move through the crowd so swiftly and smoothly like a brook flowing through the small gaps and crevices.

The delicacy with which she lightly tugs at the locks of her hair and tucks it behind her ear pulls at my heart strings.

Her perfect even teeth biting into the soft flesh of her luscious lips. I wonder how they taste. I wonder if they're as sweet as they look.

I tried hating her. Oh, how much I tried!

But her angel like features do something to me. Put me in a trance.

I knew I was gone.

Oh she's coming towards me. Should I talk to her? Maybe I'll ask her name..

Wait. What?
This is supposed to be a punishment. But I'm enjoying this punishment?
Is it bad? What will Cain think? What will dad think?

I'm supposed to be the heir to my father's throne. I can't like a human.

But maybe...maybe..
