Soulless

When I finally woke up I saw Naveen standing over me with a panicked look on his face. His eyes widen with worry. He bent down and asking me if I needed a doctor as I pushed myself up. Slowly realizing that there was a pillow under my head but it didn't stop my head from spinning. I slowly placed my hand on my head, checking for bumps.

"Tiana, what happened." He asked breaking our silent

I looked up and gave him a smile, "Nothing. It was nothing."

'Maybe I've finally gone crazy' I thought to myself

What I saw was a bit crazy. The shadow man was dead and he was going to stay that way. His soul was still in the underworld and wasn't going to haunt me. Naveen looked back at me with disbelief.

"You looked like you seen a ghost."

He stood back up and placed a hand out for me to grab. I raised my hand towards him and he pulled me up.

"It's just stress. Really Naveen, I'm fine."

He narrowed and sighed hard. He knew I was lying, but that wasn't hard to tell because I saw still shaking.

"Tiana, please."

I dusted off my dress and smiled wider, "We're going to be late."

He stared at me for a second then nodded, "Okay."

I stretched out and smiled. It was a long day at the restaurant but it was good. Lottie came to visit for a little bit and with that girl around there was never a dull moment. But I could feel Naveen's gaze on me as if I was going to fall over and act out that scene from this morning again. But what I saw was pretty scary.

"Miss Tiana?"

I turned around and saw a woman with bright red poofy hair smiling as she sat in her seat. In the red suit she was wearing she almost looked like a big tomato. I hope the cooks don't confuse her for one. Her brown eyes seemed to be full of questions so I smiled and asked,

"Is everything to your likin?"

She shook her head before pointing to the cup that was on the table. I looked into the cup and my eyes widen and I clamped my hand over my mouth. The smell of metallic filled my nose as I saw the fancy cup filled with blood. My body was trembling as I took a step back from the table. The woman smiled and picked up the cup,

"Can I get two lumps of sugar?"

She picked up the cup and I swore I could see an eyeball floating in the cup. She placed the cup to her thin lips and took a sip. I clamped my hand around my mouth even tighter to keep the puke from coming out of my mouth. She placed the cup on the table and said in a sweet voice,

"It taste bitter to me."

I couldn't pay attention to what else she said because of the crimson blood stain on the side of her pink painted mouth. My body started to shake even harder then I felt a pair of big hands clamp onto my shoulder,

"Tiana." I heard Naveen's voice

The bile started to build up in the back of my throat to the point that I couldn't take it anymore then I threw up, barely missing the woman, who jumped out of the way in time. My head started to get dizzy as I fell back into Naveen's arms. My eyes started to feel as if there were burning.

'More little Tiana. You couldn't handle the sight of a little blood?'

Behind the tomato woman stood him. The shadow man. Bowing as Naveen carried me off in his arms.

'I'll be seeing ya real soon.'

I want to thank Pheobe Floros, Hermioneroxx77, Nausicaa of the Spirits for reviewing. I hope you enjoy! I know it's been a very, very long time. Peace, love, and chocolate!
