Shadows Of The Dead

Chapter 21

It was already morning, Ahana laid her head back in Craven's open arms not willing to wake up. She wanted to stay back into his arms. Forever.

He looked aside at Ahana's livid green eyes staring back at him. The real thing was that he loved her but he just did not admit it. Even if he had to, he would never do it. Ahana was different from the people of the modern and she was definitely not fit for creating a happy family.  Her job was to hunt and eradicate.

He gently kissed her forehead and laid his head back.

"How did you sleep?" He asked, watching the spider crawl up the ceiling.

The spider was black and unusual. It was small but only from a far distance, he narrowed his eyes to see the true color behind it.

"I slept well" Ahana shifted in his arms as she slowly chuckled. 

The thought of having sex with Craven was unforgettable. It was all a passionate love she had made. Knowing that she was a virgin til only last night that was gone.

"Ahana " Craven softly spoke.  "Can you-----"

The spider on the ceiling interrupted their conversation as it slowly transformed into a naked woman who was shredding her skin.

The foul smell entered into the atmosphere and the woman's face looked more scarier than other demons. She had undefined wide open dark black eyes, her hair was swaying up and down into a rhythmic scence and her lips were dry and swollen.

On the Brightside, she looked young but her face features were abnormal along with her long slender limbs. She had six legs with her straightened back and pointy breast.

"Did I interrupt your sweet conversation?" She spoke in a moaning tone.

Craven jumped out of the bed with his grimaced face as Ahana stood up and faced the killer. She was not scared at all. It was her job anyway.

Craven moved out to heroism and decided to attack the woman until Ahana stopped him.

"Stop Craven" Ahana showed her palm with her gaze still in the spider's eyes. The woman was not moving either,she kept on staring back.

Craven glanced at Ahana with an eyebrow raised.

"Just stay still... Its not here to fight" Ahana replied in a low tone. Her voice was soft and elegant.

Craven backed up and stood by the bed fighting the urge to stare at the naked woman. He just stood by and observed Ahana's next move. He then didn't make a move.

"Where do you come from?" Ahana asked.

The woman shifted toward and bowed down. " I'm here with a message"

"And what is that?" Craven said turning around to his closet.  " Trying to avoid that hideous look of yours"

Craven took out his pair of t-shirts and passed one to Ahana. Since she already had clothes on,she passed it over to the demon. The naked woman caught it with one hand and stared at Ahana's gaze.

"What is this?" She asked.  "I'm only delivering you a message of Cain's"

"Cain is dead" Craven stated. That was foolish because Cain was dead and this woman came here with a message from Cain.  "He can't be resurrected"

"Just hear me out. Ahana cannot stay in the future, she has to go back" The woman said.  " There is something that she needs to figure out."

"And what exactly is that?"  Craven examined. " I don't think this is true" he said looking at Ahana.

"Shut your crap face" the woman snapped at Craven and faced Ahana. "Cain is dead. I Know. But before he died, he left a message for you. You probably don't know but that sword that you have there. It's the only way out of this world. That was what he wanted. Even he was searching for the truth behind that painting in the Cain mansion. "

" What is the message? " Craven asked intrigued.

" Ahana, without you in your kingdom it is falling down. The devil is invading inside and killing people. If you see into the history from this world. You will know what it means" the woman said and slowly turned into a tiny spider.

The t-shirt fell over as she shrunk into a spider. Every detail of her words left Ahana and Craven staring at the spider crawling into the wall.

"Did you sleep well?" Craven asked as Nick paced down next to him on the couch.  He then relaxed his head on Craven's lap. Just keeping his eyes shut. Nick glanced around the living room.

"Where is Ahana?" Nick asked.

"Out for some personal stuff." Craven replied, staring down to Nick's face.

"How about you? How Did you sleep?"

A blissful of blush ran across Craven's cheeks and he smirked. Thinking of the passionate love he had made with Ahana last night. She was into him and he was into her.  They both were.

"It was fun, I slept quite normal last night" Craven lied.

Nick's eyes scrutinized Craven's eyes. Startled, Nick jumped up and stared directly at his face.  "You never sleep normal, what's going on?" Nick teasingly nudged Craven.

"I had sex with Ahana last night. Thats all"

"Aww so cute. Can I ask how it went?"

"No." Craven instantly answered. He then went back into his thoughts.  That spider, had she known something about Ahana and Cain. What could it be?

"If you don't want to. I've to see Talha anyway, she might be worried" Nick said and stood up.

"Just asking, how did you and Talha get in relationship so fast?" Craven pointed out.

"That! Darling, you need to learn from me. Oh, wait. You already did. "

Craven raised his eyebrows seriously. Anticipating a correct answer like teacher's do when asking a easy question from students but it is still hard.

"Damn, I was with her at the dance floor and then we soon found out that we have many things in common." Nick then raised his hands in the air, forming a heart. "We started dating"

"Hmm" Craven nodded and Nick slipped out of the living room. But still, how could Talha date Nick so suddenly without even knowing him? She is a supernatural being after all, it could be that she's playing him.

"Oh, yes. We have unfinished business with Talha " Craven said as if he was telling someone in a meeting but it was just himself.
