Souls

Chapter 5

~Tefuels point of view~ 3rd person

Tefuel was agrivated. Jessica had met a Soulseer and was becoming close to him. Too close for his comfort. She was supposed to be being punished, she was supposed to be in hell. Yet how can you be in hell and be in love? Tefuel had been in love once, long ago.
Towards the beginning of life, everyone died of natural causes; sick, old, battle. But she was so beautiful with long blond hair that always seemed to have flowers in it. Her smile would cause the world to stop spinning, and her eyes were a deep, dark sea blue. She had been named beautiful one, Kaunis in Finnish.
Tefuel was instently captified from the moment he layed eyes on her, and was falling for her the moment she first laughed. Everyone from all the villages wanted her hand and she lead each one on. Kaunis toyed with love and she played her game very well. With one word she could have men ripping each other apart, and with a single smile she was welcome anywhere.
But it was Tefuel that she favored in his mortal self. Although every one was jealous and he knew he was playing with fire, Tefuel would follow Kaunis anywhere. He was ignorant, young, and deeply in love with a girl that no one kept once their purpose had been served, and yet he felt that she cared for him to.
Only knowing Kaunis for a few months, she grew ill. Her perfectly tanned face faded and her eyes lost their spirit, but she had not lost Tefuel. He stayed by her side until she faded, and died.
Heart broken, Tefuel was at a loss for words, and emotions would not stop pilling higher and higher until he didn't know what he was feeling. Life was so different without her in it. He missed her, her smile, her laugh, the touch of her delicate finger tips. He would never forget her last words,
"I love you, Tefuel. I really do." He felt tears spill down his face and all his anger, loss, and guilt came streaming out of him as he tore at the grass, his hair, anything. He screamed pointless screams at the god that would steal his presious Kaunis from him.
Why? Was his only thought. Her memories tore at him like an animal trapped in his heart, clawing its way to freedom. Love, he decided, was a terrible thing. Why would someone give you something so beautiful just to snatch it away and leave you behind knowing that you are not complete? Why do it, if he is not to follow?
Tefuel had never heard of someone leaving the world by choise. He had never given one thought to an afterlife. But as he carried Kaunis's body to the cliff side he realized that he didn't care, as long as he could be with her, with Kaunis he would be happy.
Tefuel stood on the edge of the world and looked down to his beloved's lifeless body in his arms,
"I will be with you again my love." He whispered and kissed her on the forehead as he fell to his death.
As the first mortal to ever take his own life the gates would not open for Tefuel. He was banished to a realm of aloneness were he would never be with Kaunis again. But with one gift for Tefuel, he was aloud the choise to turn off his emotions, not to feel guilt, not to feel sorrow, not to feel loss, and most importantly, not to feel Kaunis. The weakened, tiered Tefuel was broken. He wanted so badly not to feel the way he was feeling that he excepted,
"I just want to be done." And with that he handed over his humanity.
Tefuel had often wondered of Kaunis but he knew that were she was, she was eternally happy. Tefuel on the other hand was far from happy. He tried to amuse himself with all the others that gave their lives to him, but he would always grew bord. He had a bit of entertainment in 700 BC when the Soulseers first appeared but he took care of them fairly quickly. He hasn't given the race another thought until now.
Now a newbie Soulseer was flirting with his new soul. Tufuel was quite fond of Jessica and did not want her around his latest issue.
Tefuel felt a smile spread from ear to ear as he realized what he had; a conflict, a riddle, amusement. But still he had no idea what he was going to do with Jessica, not only with her in the middle but her recent developments. She was in denial but it was obvious; Jessica Setairie was becoming human.
