Chapter 23
[A/N: Anu, I really wanna know what you have guessed and how right are you! So, if you wanna discuss, feel free to PM me here.. :D
Guys, it seems I have you people high strung really badly, as you are searching for clues in every sentence it seems. Okami is actually how you address the landlady in Japanese. And those two sentences there were just to show how the creature had the power to teleport.. Or umm whatever you call it. I think I am really testing your patience, right?
Hmm, and not many were as thrilled as I wanted them to be with Kria's POV. Was it wrong of me to write it from her angle? Hmm, ohh well, I really don't think while writing, so I am gonna let it slide. Its gonna continue to remain a mystery as to what the creature is, so enjoy the torture while it lasts. Explanation chapters will start around 4 days from now. Or maybe 5.. Depending upon how long the tharak continues.. :P]
She squat down, bending her knees to accommodate the level he was at, while he had his eyes stuck to the floor. Somehow, even while acknowledging her, he refused to acknowledge her.
What was he thinking? That she was a mere figment of his imagination, perhaps.
Well, it wasn't uncommon for mortals in his position to think that. She had experienced this before. And she didn't know what she wanted to do next.
She removed her hands from his hair, and trailed her fingers down to his right cheek, making him face her.
He had anguish painted on all of his face, and she just couldn't help but feel pity on his condition.
Mortals really did make things complicated on their own. They shouldn't be like this.
She smiled at him, somewhere deep down reassuring him that she was, actually, really, here.
"Do you want me hold you, My Precious?" She asked, her molten eyes ablaze with the color of his emotion right now.
And that seemed to do it. He finally was aware of her presence completely. But instead of shock, he just registered it normally, as if there was no energy left in him to get shocked.
"Yes please..."He smiled, sadness clouding his eyes, "Hold me, Amber."
She laughed, at the name he had just given her.
"Amber?" She caressed his cheek, lightening up a little, "That sounds like a name for a concubine, My Precious..."
"No."He said, circling her waist with his arms, "It sounds like a jewel with the glow of life in it."
