Chapter 61

ANTARTECES

It's Christmas again and I am again as usual celebrating it all alone. How many years has it been since the day that they shove me away? I guess even though I know my age it feels like a lifetime being like this, my situation sucks and such a pity. Maybe the god up there always see me like this upon celebrating his born day. I remember what he had told me, Seven, right? His name was, Seven. What a lovely name even just a number. It suits him for me.



"I know you are in a confused situation right now but what you are thinking and what your instincts right now is true. I am devil, I heard your thoughts and your words. I can hear your desperate heart beat and your wondering mind. Your internal scream to change the habit of your life. To change the direction of your fate. You don't believe in the eyes of the god above right now because of your situation but trust me he is listening to every words you said. I just don't know if he cares uh. I am real and he is too up there."



I know my instincts never lets me down but to think that in almost years of my existence and keep praying for him. Why do I feel like he neglected me? Just like them, the parents that I know. Are they any in favor of me? My life? My existence in this planet? Well, I guess I know the answer for that. The only one who hear my prayers is him, Seven. But why? When a devil come there must be an angel to support you but in my case there is no one. It even strengthens my belief that He doesn't like me.



I walk wear the mirror and pulled my hair with a ponytail. I touch the part which looks like a butterfly mark. It was small but it really looks like a butterfly. Milena, loves seeing this unique birth mark of mine but unlike me I feel something different. Or it is just me making such a story in my head. Every time I touches this mark it leads me into a dream that makes my heart clench in pain and just finds myself crying or teary and my pillow is soaked. Why do I feel like I belong there?





about the dream...

Rain falls in crazy chaotic drops, the gusting wind carrying them in wild vortices one moment and in diagonal sheets the next. But he doesn't mind it at all as long as his plans were on the flow like this storm, it will wreck everyone who tries to consoles it.

The rain fell down the blades of grass into the already wet soil, the droplets pausing on the surface before being sucked into the dark particles. He was smiling all the time as he stares at the blades of the grass, time will come to him.

The old, yellow, and brown leaves hustled in the wind, as the sounds of dead, weak trees, creak at every push the wind gave. It's the end of fall and the air is colder than an ice cube, as it climbs through his coat to the bottom of his spine. Most of the leaves are already gone. And the sight of every living thing coming to an end depresses him. The crumbling of the brown stiff leaves creates a home to many animals that need a place to hide during this time of empty sorrow. The birds have ceased to sing no more and I must take this time to enjoy whatever is left here in the woods.

It just remembers him himself.

He gritted his teeth as he again compares himself to good-for-nothing things.


Slowly the rain stops and cold breeze of air takes over, he stands from where he was sitting and turns his heels with a smirk on his lips.

"Master the palace has tripled their security and it would be impossible to get her if we will not plan this carefully, we should think of a way without us getting caught and get her smoothly," Antarteces stated and look at his Master's eyes.


"They have tripled aye?"


"Yes, maybe because of our sudden attack and I think they already know what you are up to or maybe you should just abandon this and think a new plan," Antarteces said and Knight stands from his seat and took a sip of his wine.

"I've seen darkness before, the kind that makes our path miserable and you don't want to feel that Antarteces because I know you too well, everything a shade of grey. This isn't like that. This is the darkness that robs you of your best sense and replaces it with a paralyzing fear. And we should fear anything, and why did they triple their security areas? It is because they fear us, I can smell it, fear is so aromatic and I love the way how I can smell it, don't you know the smell of it huh Antarteces? Well, I guess not because you were easily guarded down by just those peasy guards. By my genes I am a predator, I have the front-facing eyes and brain enough to hunt, but I feel like you are the prey in this utter black Antarteces, you are afraid of them," he stated and took the last sip of his drink.

"No Master I just wanted you to be safe and not be harmed by them, you are my Master and I don't want you to get hurt."

"Moving makes noise, it's bad enough I still have to breath. But I want to see tomorrow enough to make me hold this position for as long as it takes. Abandoning isn't my thing Antarteces," he stated and cool air blew his hair and Antarteces was just there looking at him with melancholy in the eyes.


FLASHBACK
The crowd has a life of its own, the vibrant clothes shine in the morning light and the people move like enchanting shoals of fish. There is chatter between sellers and buyers, old friends catching up, new friends made. It's busy for sure, but the hustle and bustle bring life to the busy street but not hers.

Antarteces was a concubine or a paying woman in a well-known organization, she was the most highest paying woman there. Which makes her and Knight met. Antarteces was the most beautiful paying woman in that place which makes Knight curious. She has long hair, a beautiful face, white pale skin, and most of all she looks like her which makes Knight got interested and pays her whole day with advance just to be with her.

Knight was handsome from the depth of his eyes to the gentle expressions of his voice as he introduced himself to her. He had the kind of face that stopped you in your tracks. She guesses he must get used to that, the sudden pause in a person's natural expression when they looked his way followed by overcompensating with a nonchalant gaze and a weak smile. Of course, the blush that accompanied it was a dead give-away. It didn't help that he was so modest with it, it made the girls fall for him all the more and not guarding herself, Antarteces just saw herself slowly falling for him even though they just meet.

He was handsome, but inside he was a beast that nobody knows.

Antarteces and Knight had shared a day until night in a room, they shared pleasures, grunts, and moans, Antarteces can't help herself but get crazy and get wild of what Knight is doing to her. He was giving her a wild day and night, she loves how the way Knight eats her, pounding her, thrust her, breath in her neck, licking the buds of her breast, kissing her lips and telling her words which makes her more aroused, stirred and wet than ever before, he is giving her the ecstasy of her life. Knight didn't show tiredness of having sex with her that day they had sex for more and she didn't know how many times she had reach her climax.

Knight see Antarteces to her, she even kiss like her and her soft touch and her eyes was way like her. So he had sex with her so many times thinking she was his woman even just a day. And desciding to buy her after this day and keep him company while his woman is still in search.

That girl I have seen in my dreams was a concubine or a paying woman, But she was so beautiful but I can see sadness in her eyes that clenches my heart. It was like I can feel her pain. I know that she doesn't like her job but she got no choice. And I also learned that the era I am dreaming was so old. I remembered every detail of my dream and I swear I am not just imagining it in my mind while asleep. It really looks like real. And as I saw that man the she sees from her eyes I also can't help but to fall in love with that man also. I feel like I was longing for him even though I don't know him and it was my first time seeing him. It was weird and indescribable feeling. It feels like I am that woman.
