Pire's Story
It was simple. I was beautiful. My parents were proud of my beauty, my little sister worshiped me, every male was in awe of me, I was the envy of every girl in the village. I had it all.
Or so I thought...
One night I awoke to a strange sweet scent. I opened my eyes to find myself face to face with the most beautiful creature I'd ever laid eyes on. Dark eyes, skin so perfect, so pale. It was the strangest sense of de ja vu, had I seen him before? In a dream perhaps?
I felt an overwhelming longing to touch this being, to caress his flawless face. There was no warning in his eyes, only deep interest and an unspoken invitation perhaps? I slowly reached my hand out towards him. A small voice in my head questioned my actions, shouldn't I be afraid? No, no one this beautiful, this god-like would harm me. Someone this perfect couldn't possibly do wrong. He reached out and grasped my hand, mere inches from his face and gently kissed my palm. His skin was so cold, but so smooth. I closed my eyes as his lips continued to powder across my hand and wrist, as I tried desperately to steady the beat of my heart. After one lingering kiss, it all stopped. I abruptly opened my eyes, but he was gone...
The next morning I excitedly told my younger sister, Huilen, about my midnight angel. She gasped horrified, startling me. "Pire, don't you realize who he was? Libishomen! Lock your window at night, you know how dangerous he is!"
I laughed off her concern, "Huilen, don't be ridiculous. I hardly believe those preposterous ghost stories anymore. Libishomen is part of a fantastical incredulous myth." I hurried on, worried she would say something to my Father, "but if it would make you feel better, I shall lock my windows from now on okay?" I tightly crossed my fingers and prayed she would believe my lie. I wouldn't normally mislead my beloved sister, but I would do anything to see him again.
"Hmm okay..." she murmured after a long pause.
He began visiting my room on a nightly basis, loving me in ways I'd never been loved before. The voice in my head continued to question my sanity, knowing what I was doing would be considered wrong, not only by my parents but by the entire village. I shuddered involuntarily imagining what they would do to me if they were to find out. But even those unpleasant thoughts weren't nearly enough to stop me from seeing him. I loved him and that's all I knew.
Early one morning I was collecting berries with Huilen on the outskirts of the village. Suddenly, without warning I doubled over with a sharp cry of pain, scattering my berries upon the uneven ground. "Pire, are you okay? What's wrong?!?" Huilen cried as she rushed to my side.
"Huilen, do you love me?" I whispered timidly.
"Of course I do Pire...What's going on?" Huilen answered, bewilderment strewn across her face.
"But would you love me no matter what I did?" I ventured.
"Yes, yes of course I would. I love you more than anything Pire." She answered quietly.
So I told her the whole story, starting from the night I broke my promise to her... and ending with my pregnancy suspicions. I pulled my jacket back to show her my abdomen and the slight bump that had formed.
A range of emotions flickered across her face, shock...fear...sadness...and back to shock. "I... I don't know what to... to say Pire..." She whispered staring at my swollen torso. "How long have you known?"
"Yesterday there was a slight fluttering feeling and today … this." I answered gesturing at my belly.
Shock riddled her features. "That quick?"
I nodded slowly in response.
"What are we going to do, what will Fath-" Huilen broke off mid sentence. "We can't tell him! He'll kill you Pire, they'll kill you!"
I nodded again, "I know."
"We have to leave, we have to leave NOW!" She cried.
Shock shuddered through my body, "you'd come with me?" I asked.
Eyes wide, she nodded vigorously "you wait here, I'll get some things and be right back."
Warmth flooded my heart as I watched my baby sister, hair streaming back, hastening towards home. As long as I had Huilen, it was going to be okay.
We spent the next few weeks hiking further and further from home, with my bump rapidly expanding daily. With every step I took my eyes searched the vast darkness for my Angel, but they never found him. Huilen hunted each night to sustain us both, and she bathed my swollen feet as I sung to my unborn child. We travelled deep into the forest for almost a month before I could no longer go on. My stomach was huge and covered in dark purple bruises from the baby's movement. Every day I became weaker and it felt like I was being drained from the inside out. I could see the worry in my sisters eyes, and the angst as she refused to touch my abdomen. She abhorrently referred to my unborn baby as 'the fetus' or 'the beast'. She didn't understand. I loved this child, more than I'd ever loved anything else. For it was a piece of him.
I hummed quietly, softly stroking my oversized stomach. Huilen was out hunting again, in a desperate attempt to strengthen my weakened frame. Hearing a noise I struggled to re-position my weary body, I carefully pulled myself up onto my elbows and peered out into the darkness. Huilen suddenly appeared stumbling into the clearing, her small frame struggling under the weight of a good sized stag. My nose pricked up with the overwhelming aromatic smell of blood coming from the animal. My body shuddered with a sudden wave of delight and intense need. "Bring it to me" I commanded my surprised sister.
"It'll be done soon, I just need to start a fire Pire." She answered.
"NOW! Bring it to me NOW!" I screeched. "QUICKLY!"
Confusion riddled her features as Huilen hesitantly placed the stag on the ground beside me. "Pire, what are you going to do with it?"
Using all my strength I roughly yanked the stag into my lap while deeply inhaling the appealing scent. Without pausing to answer Huilen, I snatched the knife from her hand and slit the stags throat. Bringing my face down I greedily savoured every drop until the animal was completely drained. Then, and only then, did I look up ashamedly into my sisters white face. She backed away quickly looking at me with fear in her eyes. "Huilen, I... I'm sorry, I just... I had to..." I trailed off quietly, what had I become? Huilen sat down on the edge of the clearing staring at me with stricken eyes, with no sense of recognition. "Huilen, please I - " She silenced me with a wave of her hand. She was now looking at me with a strange mix of surprise and awe in her eyes. She jumped to her feet and quickly closed the distance between us, placing her hand on my sunken cheek she murmured "it can't be... It just can't be."
"What Huilen?" I questioned, quickly pulling myself onto my knees and wrapping my arms around her shoulders.
"Look at yourself Pire, you haven't been able to sit up properly for weeks. You've been so pale and so cold and now your cheeks are rosy and your hands are warm again. There must be something in the blood, something 'it' needs. Something you need." She said.
It became a routine after that, Huilen would return with an animal, cut a small chunk off to cook for herself and then she would hand the rest to me. I was always more careful after that first night, making sure her back was turned before I drained the animal. Seemed like the least I could do for my darling sister.
A few nights later a loud crack and sharp pain awoke me from restless sleep. My scream immedietly woke Huilen and she was at my side instantly, holding my hand. "Huilen *gasp* I think my rib just cracked *gasp*."
"What!? Nooo! How?" she exclaimed.
Another loud crack and I saw black. I came to with an excruitiating pains and Huilens worried face to greet me. "What happened?" I breathed.
"Three more breaks. Its killing you Pire. The MONSTER IS KILLING YOU! We have to get it out and we have to get it out NOW!"
"NO. Leave it. He's just growing Huilen, he's just getting stretching. Its not his fault." I gingerly wrapped my arms protectively over my baby. Even though I was in pain, I still loved the baby more than anything. My love simply grew with every pain. "He'll be strong, like a jungle cat. Nahuel...yes that's what I shall call him. My beautiful Nahuel." I smiled in pleasure, my eyes slowly drifting shut as I entered into a restless slumber.
Hours later I was again awoken in pain. A tearing sound filled the air and I felt like I was being ripped apart. My sister was once again by my side, anger and disbelief clouding her features. "Its clawing its way out. Its ripping you apart Pire! What do I do?" She screamed, near hysteria.
I grasped her hand in mine, "nothing Huilen, you will do nothing. Let him come out, look after him for me" I pursed my lips in an act to hold in a scream. "Please Huilen, do it for me. Please look after my baby. Look after Nahuel. Its all I want."
She stared at me in disbelief.
"Promise me Huilen, promise me you'll look after my baby." I begged, ignoring the immense pain, tears flowing down my face.
Holding me tightly in her arms, her face pressed against mine, our tears joining together to run down our cheeks. "I love you more than anything Pire. I promise I'll look after him. I swear it." She whispered through the tears.
Happiness coursed through my body and I smiled contently before closing my eyes...
