Shadow

Indeed, when the night greets the feeling of longing, it begins to feel embracing an empty soul. Never miss a second, when night falls, the human feels more longing for the person she loves.
"Hey, night. We meet again."
Cherie has probably just recovered from the pain that is eating away at her. However, she feels a sharper pain when she is away from her beloved. She could have broken through her defenses to catch up with the man, but she stop so as not to hurt anyone else.
"I hope to meet him soon. I miss him to the depths of the bone.”
Ghouls who have just recovered are indeed ordered to rest at home so they don't have a chance to attack humans and other Ghouls. This is one of prevention. In the period of healing Ghoul instinct to hunt is sharp. Therefore, she Cherieis ordered to stay at home without making contact with other people. It's been five days since she's been cuddling at home with Grim. Grim's supply of meat would be taken during the day and night. The wolf is indeed the best assistant for Cherie.
When the night is getting late. Cherie has to wake up from her beautiful sleep due to thirst. Grim who is in Cherie's arms felt his master's thirst, then he goes main door to look for blood. Don't worry, he won't do anything illegal. The wolf already knew where he has to go. The unexpected thing is when lightning struck and it rained heavily accompanied by very loud human screams.
Cherie gasp to hear that and then looked outside, there is a woman who is injured in the middle of the street.
"Gosh, it smells so good." Cherie covers her nose to prevent herself from being tempted by the scent.
“Grim….” Cherie growle as she called her beloved wolf. Fortunately, soon Grim comes with a bag of blood tucked in his mouth.
The wolf howled loudly at the sight of a wounded woman. She intend to call the security guard who is going around the town of Marivierra. Cherie rushed into the house and locked the door. She does not want to be more tempted by the human blood. Most likely, the human is injured after being hit. Judging from the wound, it looked like she has been beaten. Maybe, tomorrow the news of clarity about the woman will be presented as a leader in the morning.
When she wakes up in the morning, Cherie feels something different. Her face has started to glow again. This of course bode well for her. Grim who feels the change in his master's face immediately buried his face into Cherie's stomach.
"Thank you for taking care of me." Cherie hugged the wolf and gently stroked its head.
The first thing she did, of course, it is cleaning herself with a citrus fragrance. She likes this activity like a human being, which is bathing with fragrances. Her long and smooth legs are rubbed with citrus scented soap. Cherie really takes care of her appearance, especially since she is an entertainer.
"Tonight is going to be a great night," she said cheerfully.
Sure enough.
After having dinner with Grim, she goes straight to her place of work. Cherie looks very charming in red high shoes. Her legs, which are wrapped in black stockings, looked very tempting because they are filled with tight muscles.
“Wow, you look different and more charming, Cherie.” Marco could not stop himself from praising Cherie's appearance. Even the scent can be smelled from a few meters away.
“The damn human that I ate turned out to be consuming poison as an antidote to pain. However, I have been freed from the poison's influence and can return to pampering my customers.”
"Oh, they've all missed you, Cherie."
Cherie handed her the remaining half of her cigarette butt to Marcom. It's time for her to cames out and show her pole dancing skills. Just watch, tonight he will rock the city of Marvierra with her charm.
“It's showtime!”
…
When Cherie is planning to go home from her routine work that night, she remember someone.
"Is he home yet?" Cherie muttered to herself.
She immediately took her carry-on bag and rushed out of the main door of the entertainment venue that is her source of income when she see the whistle of a man she know.
The man at first did not think that he has a shadow at night. Of course, tonight is quite dark because some of the lights have been turned off by the owner of the house. To be honest, the Ghouls don't really like the lighting produced by electric lamps, they prefer to get lighting from fire or the moon. So, don't blame them if their house looks very dark when compared to human habitation in general.
"Can you feel my longing, honey?"
Cherie hugs the man from behind. The man is Zack, he smiled and turn to hug Cherie.
“Since when did my shadow look this beautiful, hm?” Zack kiss Cherie's shoulder which has a tattoo of roses flying. He missed that female Ghoul so deeply.
"Am I your shadow?"
“Of course, I realized it. At night, we have no shadow except under the light. However, it is very dark in here. There is only one possibility that gives me a shadow, which is that someone was following me from behind. That person is you, honey.”
Cherie chuckled softly then kissed Zack's chest. She does follow this man secretly even though she has to be found out in the end. At least, she could be proud if Zack is able to recognize her flawlessly even though their irises didn't meet.
“Your scent can't lie, Cherie. I know it's you. I'm so glad to see you again."
Maybe they forgot that at this time they are still at a crossroads. If any security know this fact about them, they would definitely be taken to the security office to check whether they are in good condition or not. Worse, they might be mistaken for a couple.
Oh, didn't I tell you that Ghouls are forbidden to love each other? If not, then you'll find out soon enough. Calm down, you will understand that the storyline of fellow Ghouls also has obstacles.
It's not as difficult as you might think.
However, it's also not as easy as you'd like.
Since when is love never complicated?
Even for a king, love still has a painful blemish.
This is a natural risk. Humans can only choose and walk slowly.
"We can't let go of longing here. Come on, come with me and let me pamper you.”
"That's what I've been waiting for, my dear."
For a moment they forget the barrier that lies due to the love that makes them fly. For once, they want to make love without a shadow of doubt and fear of punishment for transgression.
