Chapter 5b
"Diva it is time. Time for you to make your grand entrance," boomed Amshel holding up a blue dress.
Diva stared at his cold eyes then let her peasant clothes fall freely on the ground.
Amshel gave a soft sigh, why hadn't he noticed her beauty, her perfect form, her cream colored skin before, as she stood him, naked. She did not shiver now cower a slightest bit as he gazed upon her feminine beauty with impure thoughts; what a feast it was to his eyes. What new ground breaking scientific discoveries he's uncovering now that he is a part of her.
Diva gave a gesture and Amshel willingly obeyed like a dog which was called by his master. Amshel helped Diva put on the dress. What an opportunity to stand next to her. The taste of her blood still lingers in his mouth.
As he finishes buttoning up the back part of the dress she sings in a sing-song tune:
Once a man now a Chavalier
You are to protect me like a cavalier
Obey and trust me for the rest of your years
And in return I'll wash away your everlasting fears
Now that you are my Chavalier you are to do what I say. And in return you can analyze and research me as long as your heart desires. So your first order is to take me to Joel Goldsmith, because I have a present I would like to give to him."
"Yes Diva, your wish is my command," Amshel replied with a grin.
Joel's POV
Now your picture's that you left behind,
Are just memories of a different life,
Some that made us laugh,
Some that made us cry,
One that made you,
Have to say goodbye,
Joel Goldsmith glanced at his pocket watch before continuing writing in his leather bound journal. So many things have happened in his lifetime and they have gone bye so fast. And reoccurring memories in his mind that seemed like yesterday keep coming back. Like the first day he and his brother Amshel discovered a hidden tomb and deep within a rotting corpse with to egg shape pouches like a bee hive. What a discovery they found when he accidentally cut his hand on a shard when he picked up the lantern he placed.
The pouches opened up like a baby larva hatching to become a butterfly and there before them were two precious baby girls. Oh how his heart yearned for the girls when they giggled and reached their arms towards him.
'Brother I believe we should study them. I'll take the one with the blue eyes and you take the crimson eyed one. We'll analyze them.'
He looked into brothers eyes and saw his expression towards these girls as we picked them up. It was his crazed scientific expression when he picked up the girl taking no heed of the child's screaming wail of protest. When he saw his brothers reaction Joel had a feeling of going up to his brother and tell him that he was holding the girl tightly, but he didn't and he regretted not taking that notion.
Joel looked down at his baby girl and saw her looking right at her sister in a sort of forlorn look. His eyes went wide as he saw her trying to reach a hand out to her sister and her sister mirroring the same, before Amshel turned her away from the other.
'Joel it's best that they don't see each other...'
The pen Joel held snapped and he wailed, "I'm such an idiot! I should have known better than to let Amshel take on this big responsibility. As a scientist you are to treat your specimens with love and care. Instead I watched him conduct his experiment his observations of that girl!"
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair,
Touch your lips,
To hold you near,
When you say your prayer's,
Try to understand,
I've made mistakes,
I'm just a man,
Wiping the tears from his eyes he could sense that his end is near. What fear is it fear because he is aging one more year?-nonsense! Joel chuckled to himself as he continued writing papers, papers of his resignation. That was going to be his surprise present to Saya and Haji. Telling them that he is no longer bonded as a scientist and would be living the remainder of his years as a father and guardian to the two.
As he daydreamed about his happy future his something in the air caught his sense of smell then his eyes started to droop and he fell fast asleep….
Joel dreamt of his birthday that was soon coming to pass and him seeing Saya, Haji, and the crew all congratulating him on his special day. Things were going great in his party until he saw his brother in the distance talking to someone with long raven hair. And his eyes turned crimson red, like Saya's, but more sinister and he exposing his fangs.
Then came a shout and Joel whipped around and gasped in horror of what he saw. Haji suddenly transformed. His skin much paler than usual, screaming in agony as wings jutted out of his body. Eyes also the same crimson red. Then he lunged at Amshel with such impetuous force.
"Run Joel, run to shelter!" The winged beast, Haji, replied.
And he did he ran far and wide, in fear. He saw the back of Saya, standing there all alone. Joel reached his hand to grab her. But when he grabbed her hand she turned and Joel turned white with fright as stone cold blue eyes left him paralyzed as it sunk its teeth into his neck. Her piercing blue eyes, dark and mysterious, as he faded away.
…BONG, BONG, BONG…
Joel yelped in horror as he shot up from his desk. 'What was that dream?' Chills ran down his spine and trepidation came flooding over him. Joel looks up and sees it is half past six.
'Should I tell Saya that she has a sister? Should I break her poor heart to tell her of what is to come?'
If what he envisioned was true?
Yeah I will love you baby,
Always,
And I'll be there forever and a day,
Always,
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine,
'Til the heavens burst,
And the words don't rhyme,
And when I die,
You'll be on my mind and I love you,
Always.
Sigh unfortunately this second part of always did not fit this chapter's mood very well. Sorry Joel, sorry fans.
I'll make it up to you all.
Next chapter I need your help! Please e-mail me a song (lyrics) of something that talks about death and remorse that everybody knows. A current song would be great. I have some songs but they're probably lame and won't fit the next chapter theme.
I'll post them anyways. Tell me what you think, am I off my rocker?
I'll stand by you – the Pretenders
Incomplete – Backstreet Boys
Cruel Summer – Ace of Base
