I huffed as I picked up another article of clothing. I mean honestly, is it really that hard to pick up clothes? I swear men are useless creatures. I glared into the forest in the direction I knew my useless companion had gone. I had offered to start setting up camp while he went to go bathe with the intention of joining him, but since he insisted on being a freaking teenager I was stuck with mom duty yet again.
Thirty minutes later I sat back and admired my handiwork with proud satisfaction. Traveling around and camping all the time really gave me a chance to learn how to camp and shit. I giggled as I picked up a change of fresh clothes and headed towards the lake. I marveled at the lush green forest and small birds flying around, knowing they'd be gone soon. It kinda sucked to be honest knowing I didn't have long to enjoy nature in all its beauty. But the dark side of me cackled at the impending doom. It was just how I was programmed.
I hummed a soft tune as I hopped over the trees only to hault sharply. Someone else was here. I narrowed my eyes as I drew up close to the lake and hid behind a giant tree. Looking around the tree I saw my idiot ( I rolled my eyes when I remembered I still needed to give him a tongue lashing) but growled when I saw a new person on the other side of the lake. It was a young girl, she couldn't have been more then thirteen with how tiny she was, and she was...blushing? Oh right my dumbass was facing her completely naked. I rolled my eyes at his stupidity and carelessness. Poor girl had probably never even had "the talk" yet and she was already getting an eyeful of the opposite sex. Though I couldn't blame her, he was very attractive. I watched in amusement as he got out of the water and got dressed, coolly telling her it was time to leave. Almost on cue the forest surrounding us turned black and the birds over head fell, death to everything. I grinned a toothy grin at the girls expression. Everyone was the same when looking at the results of the curse.
What I wasn't expecting though was a bunch of animals to suddenly walk up to the boy. I stared in amazement as dozens of animals surrounded him, and I could tell by the smell of salt on the air that he was touched and happy. Well that bitch, trying to be all princessey. I growled as she flashed him a pretty smile. Oh Okay, let's see how that smile looks after I maul your damn face. With her height and looks she looked like a barefoot ( seriously where the fuck were her shoes?) fairy. I pouted as he turned and started walking my way with a final glance over his shoulder. When I looked back, the girl was gone.
"How long do you plan to stay there, Amaya?" I looked away with a pout before turning and marching off towards camp. I got even more annoyed as I heard his laugh ring through out the now dead forest. Little shit knew I didn't like it when he interacted with other people. And I'll be fucked and feathered before I let him interact with some girl. The rest of the night was filled with my pouting and his joyful teasing.
Weeks passed and we moved on to another forest just west of a small town. I was gathering fire wood for the night only to stop short and glance around. That smell... the wind carried a faint almost sweet scent. I was sure I'd smelt it before..but where? Suddenly bare feet, long blonde hair, and a pretty smile flashed in my mind. I dropped the firewood and growled as I stalked towards where the scent was from. That damned girl was back and she wasn't alone. I could smell three other scents in the air, all musculine and strong. Little whore was with a bunch of men. I slid into my demon (and true) form as I slowly crept up to a thicket of bushes. I could see the light of a fire on the other side. My stomach growled and I tasted the air, scenting the taste of fresh fish in the air.
I peered through and gritted my teeth at the three males around the fire. One had blonde spikey hair and looked like the free spirited of the group, while the other blonde looked more gloomy and sullen. The third male looked kinda weird, with his hair sticking out and his long ass face and neck. He kinda looked like a tree. These guys would be a problem if we had to fight.. my thoughts were cut off as my mouth dropped to the floor. The girl from before came skipping out from the trees with a big grin on her face while telling her companions to listen and that they were gonna learn magic. What really caught my attention though was the boy trailing behind the girl. He stopped a few feet away from the edge of the camp and didn't go any further. That little shit fucking promised he'd keep his damn ass in the camp!! His eyes slid over to my hiding spot and his brows furrowed in confusion as if to say " why ya hiding?" Well dumbass probably because we can't afford to be around people. I swear men are seriously way more trouble then they're worth.
"Mavis what is the meaning of this!" The gloomy blonde spoke. Oh so her name was Mavis. I didn't expect mr. gloom could talk.
"Mr. black wizard here promised to teach us magic so we could fight!" She joyfully exclaimed. Oh I'm so gonna fucking kick his ass later. The others gave him wary looks but with some coaching from Mavis, grudgingly agreed to listen to " Mr. black wizard"
I spent the next few weeks practicing my hunting techniques and spying on the magic lessons the stupid idiot insisted on giving the quartet. We argued almost every night about it, me saying it wasn't safe and they were gonna be in danger, him insisting it was fine and he was being careful. It's seriously a wonder men have lived as long as they have what with how dumb they are. Today was supposed to be the day they liberated that nearby town from a dark guild. The lessons had ended a few days ago, something about how "they were all ready to go on their own" or some shit. I finally managed to drag him away from the area and begged him to let us travel over a few towns so I could go visit a sweets shop. That was the last we saw of those wizards.
Eleven years passed and we had ended up back in the same forest as before. After swinging through the town we heard that a new guild, fairy tail, had been built in the town and was now the face of magnolia. That hobbit of a women had become the guild master, and they had played a huge role in the second great trade war; however the girl disappeared a year ago without a trace. He wouldn't say it, but I know he knew about it. We had been here a year ago and I could smell traces of her scent all over his robes. Why he insisted on coming back here was beyond me. But I couldn't deny the fact that their hot springs felt amazing. I was leaning back and relaxing when suddenly the air shifted and everything turned black. Well shit something's got him all riled up now. I quickly made haste towards him, following his scent and completely forgetting about my state of undress only to come up short with a startled gasp. Through the trees in front of me was my stupid companion and the girl, but something was terribly wrong. Instead of being a good distance away from him, she was in his arms although she was folded at an odd angle. Tears streamed down his face and I stared in horror as I realized what he had done.
"You.. you didn't" it wasn't her death that hurt me. I couldn't give two shits about the midget to be honest. What really stung was the fact that he kissed her. We had been traveling for three hundred years, he created me to be his companion in this lonely world, I was supposed to be the only one in his life, and yet here she was. This small child who glowed like a ray of light. All emotion was wiped off my face and I stared blankly down at him.
"Take her back. Erase her from your memory. Forget her" I spat out the harsh words like liquid fire. He stood on steady legs with her in his arms, his face a mask of indifference. Without a word he walked into the forest, towards the town.
I lounged in a tree while awaiting his return. The hurt and betrayal nawed at my insides and fueled the anger bubbling within. Id already killed more then enough for dinner, so all I could do was rant to myself until the dumbass returned. I halted my ranting as I heard a twig snap and I peered over the ledge at the ground. With a twisted purr I jumped down and greeted him with a coy smile.
" you knew what would happen so why did yo-" my words were halted as the air around me became thick. I sank to my knees as I struggled to breathe. I knew what this was, I'd seen it happen many times as the failed experiments met their ends. But, why? Why me!?
" I-I don't understand! W-wh-why me?" I stared with wide eyes up at my best friend of three hundred years. My creator, my lover. My eyes widened as I saw the anger and hate in his eyes.
" it was a mistake to think I could actually love someone in this cruel world. It won't happen again. How pathetic" he rasped out in that husky voice I loved so much.
"But you created me, im your friend!" I clawed at the earth in a desperate attempt to get air but it was no use. He created me, and he could end me. The world suddenly started to darken as the light faded from my vision. The last thing I saw was his cold and angry eyes before the darkness took over.
"ZEREF!"
