It was such a shame. Such a fragile soul, easily persuaded and trustworthy. I had sensed at first that she was going to look into our relationship a little bit more cautiously, but she trusted me quickly. She seemed like such a smart girl, but of course, she was still a human girl. As every other human, she was imperfect. She found me as someone loyal and someone that could be a true friend.
She should have listened to that boy.
The softness of her skin had vanished, the skin now graying and peeling. Her long, vibrant scarlet hair had paled, mixed with grime and dirt. Her strong voice was now raspy and weak, her body quivering as she whimpered in pain. I let my human fingers graze against her shoulder and she let out a small mewl of pain. She couldn't fight against me anymore, the poor thing. She rasped a name then began hacking, her body shaking violently at each cough.
"What was that?"
She glared up at me, not moving her head from the pillow. Besides everything else, her eyes remained clear and the emerald color that every woman and man craved. "I...hate..." She shook again, crimson droplets escaping her lips.
"Me? I already know that, but this is only for your benefit." Her glowering meant more than words. "It may not seem like it now, but I'm doing you a favor."
"K...Ke..."
"Shhh. Hush darling. That boy can't come in here. He won't come back, so don't waste your precious energy on speaking." My fingers trailed against her thinning lips, the blood collecting on my fingertips. I wiped them on the mattress, disgusted by the texture of it, and got up. I walked out of the room, closing the door firmly behind me. The guard at the entrance remained stoic, but his eyes turned to me, questioning me.
"Keep a close eyes on her," I said, waving my hand. "I know she isn't going anywhere, but if she seems to have some sign of a change, report it to me right away. Understood?"
He nodded. "Understood sir."
"Very well." And with that, I left.
A/N: I won't try and hold you in suspense. So onward to the next chapter! :D
