"Amara"
You know those impossible loves to forget? That's exactly the kind of love I had with Alec. Even after centuries, I continue to love this wolf like never before! I always regret the decision I made when I left the pack. Would it be different if I had stayed? Would I have children with him? Could we live this love?
I don't know...
Still with his arms wrapped around my waist, he says:
Alec - If I ask you to stay with me, will you?
Amara - Not now... I am a reaper and I have duties to fulfill, but I will find you and give you my answer! Until then, I need to go...
His gaze turned to sadness, but he nodded nonetheless and reluctantly let me go. I didn't want to leave, I wanted to stay and scream that he was the love of my life. But I couldn't...
Before I took flight, he pulled me back again and kissed my mouth exploring every inch and me? Well, I was enjoying his taste while I could, but he was trying to convey any feeling he was feeling at the moment. I knew everything! He wanted me to feel how desperate he was. My blood boiled like never before and I found myself thinking:
Who exactly was I now? A lovestruck woman? Or a deluded reaper?
I don't know either...
We parted reluctantly and I took advantage of this moment to fly away, because if I stayed a little longer I wouldn't be able to leave.
My once cold and lifeless heart started beating erratically and a desperation took over me.
* What's going on? *
I'm not dead?
I didn't even guide the souls from the accident and now they must be wandering aimlessly out there...
"Great! Another headache."
Arriving at the front shop, I barged in and headed for the secret passage that led directly to our "workplace."
"Can I know what that was about?"
Spoke my coworker named Gilbert. He was the young reaper who tormented me before Anastasia's arrival!
Amara - No comments, please!
Gilbert - The elder of the reapers in love? Aren't you too old for that?
I looked at him with a deadly look and sat abruptly at my desk.
Amara - There's no age for love.
Gilbert - That's what a pedophile would say.
Amara - Do you really want to be deported?
Gilbert - No thanks. I'd rather deal with you than deal with that weird old man!
Amara - Then you better shut up.
That weird old man he refers to is the second elder called Gaspar. He is known for his... How do you put it... "Strange fetishes?" It's basically that.
Gilbert - But tell me, how are you going to solve this matter?
Amara - Which of the three?
Gilbert - Three?
Amara - My sister, my mate, or the escaped souls?
Gilbert - Sister? What do you mean?? You have a sister? But you...
Amara - She was reincarnated and I am taking care of her.
Gilbert - Wow! You are really stuck in problems.
Amara - I wouldn't call the first two problems, but the third is really a headache.
Gilbert - Let me take care of that third one. By the way, where is your sister?
Amara - She's in my room.
Gilbert - SHE'S HERE??
Amara - Obviously.
Gilbert - But she's human. How did you allow that?
Amara - She's not human and I don't care. I just don't like humans, but if she were human, I wouldn't mind anyway.
He just shook his head as if he gave up and went to work. I took advantage that he would take care of the issue of the souls for me and went to the room where I left Anastasia, arriving there I found her lying in bed very sick...
Amara - ANASTASIA!!
I went to her and placed the palm of my hand on her forehead, it was very hot and she would probably suffer delusions soon.
I picked her up in my arms and ran to the bathroom turning on the bathtub faucet. Laid her in the tub and started showering her...
Anastasia - I... Help... No...
She was delirious. Could it be because of the bracelet? I can't feel anything that could be causing this fever.
I went to one of my spiritual drawers and took something I used daily to measure the person's spirit.
Supernatural creatures like Anastasia gave me a hard time every day when they wanted to go back to their families, but with the mediumistic meter I would know exactly what was happening to the soul and solve the problem. Sometimes I even erased the souls' memories!
It's cruel, I know, but life and death are like that.
Anastasia- No... To...
I went to the bathtub again, listening to my sister raving. I touched her forehead and realized it was getting hotter and hotter...
* Shit! *
I took the mediumistic meter and stuck it on his forehead. It was like a magic sticker that gave me a glimpse of what was happening in his soul through telekinesis...
I closed my eyes and realized it was a vision. I looked around and realized I was in a forest filled with a dense fog...
Anastasia- Help...
I looked back and realized that she was running. Wolf behind her was a creature with a black cloak completely covering its body, I ran after it and realized that it was looking back all the time.
"You won't get away from me dragon!"
Now I understand! That was your past life and that's where I found your lifeless body.
I ran even harder to find out who killed my sister in her past life and realized that we were heading for a cliff.
It was there that I found his frozen, decapitated body. I remember to this day that it was a vision from hell!
She slowed her steps and looked back, already completely out of breath and terribly afraid.
Anastasia- Please! Don't kill me. I don't have what you want...
"It's obvious that you do. I clearly heard in that huge war that you are one of the girls blessed by the Gods! I want your blood for the ritual."
* Ritual? *
Anastasia- Please don't!
At that very moment I asked myself: Why didn't she change? Why didn't she fight?
The vision was interrupted when the hooded man raised a scythe to decapitate her. I was brought back to reality with Anastasia's horrific screams!
Anastasia- AAAAAHHHHH
She woke up with her hands on her neck, crying shakily. I hugged her and let her collapse on my shoulder, completely terrified!
"Who was this man? And what was this ritual?"
A black scythe like mine... The only person who had such a thing was Apollyon, but I trust him too much to imagine that he had done such a thing. Especially since I know his presence and especially his voice, that certainly wasn't him! Who was it?
Calmer, I realized that his fever had gone down. It was too much for just one day!
I picked her up and put her back to bed. I went to the closet and chose an outfit that was just like her... I had gotten it from Gilbert for my 3,000th birthday. And to make fun of me, he'd bought a dress that was the complete opposite of me... I only wore dark clothes, like most reapers.
I also took a towel and gave it to her.
When I got there, I was confronted with a heartbreaking scene. She had the same expression as when we were little and she was suffering at the hands of our "father" (who wasn't our father).
She turned to me and spoke in a broken voice:
Anastasia- What did I do to deserve such a horrible death?
My little cup...
I knelt down with my hands in his lap and looked into his eyes, which were swollen from crying:
Amara- You didn't do anything, little sister. They did! They're the monsters.
Anastasia- Do you know who it was?
Who was it? That's a good question. I thought I had the answers to everything, but I was wrong...
Amara- I don't know, but I'll find out. Until then...
I said, wiping the tears that insisted on falling from her eyes.
Amara- I will protect you from everything and everyone. I think you're starting to remember your past and that means Alpha Kaleu will too.
She rolled her eyes and dried the rest of her tears.
Anastasia- I don't care about him.
I didn't feel her statement was firm but I'm not going to say anything, I know she's very upset and I'm not going to stop her putting him on ice for at least 5 or 6 years.
Amara- That's how you say it. Here you go...
I grabbed the dress and handed it to her.
Amara- Get dressed and get ready, we're going shopping for some clothes for you.
Anastasia- I have to stop by the house where I was staying to write a note thanking my human friend who sheltered me.
Amara- Okay.
I kissed her forehead and went to my workroom to see how Gilbert's progress was going. I'm planning on asking the divinity for a promotion for him, but I won't say anything to him for now, or he'll keep bothering me if it's not approved.
Amara- How are things here? Have you found the runaway souls?
Gilbert- I found two, but there are still two more missing.
Amara- I'm going to buy some things for Anastasia and stop by a place, then I'll come back to help you.
Gilbert- Okay. By the way, are you going to tell me this story properly...
Amara- I don't owe you an explanation.
Gilbert- Cold...
He said, making a face and putting on a jacket. I gave a half-smile and sat in the front chair to wait for Anastasia, who didn't take long to arrive.
Gilbert- Ah yes!! She has great taste.
He said, clapping his hands and she gave a shy smile and looked at me awkwardly.
* Cute *
But she did look very cute indeed. I remembered the days when I would pick out her clothes and she would choose mine, like siblings...
Amara- Ready to go?
She nodded and we walked to the parking lot. We got into the car and set off for the shopping spree! My car was a luxurious black convertible. Just because I'm a reaper doesn't mean I have to travel in any old way... Actually, I've grown accustomed to human civilization, although I'm still amazed at how quickly they've evolved.
Arriving at the city mall, I parked the car and we headed towards the entrance. As we walked in, I noticed a commotion. This usually doesn't happen, but then I remembered that my sister has completely white hair, and not just any white, but a natural white that attracts attention wherever she goes. Add to that the fact that she's as beautiful as an angel, and it all adds up to a very stressful walk. If anyone comes at her with a camera, I'll throw hands!
Anastasia- Calm down, Amara!
She said, holding my hand. I was surprised, could she still sense my emotions?
"Well, well, look who we have here."
I turned around, irritated, and saw the witch my sister had mentioned. This must be some kind of joke!
"The b*tch who stole my alpha!"
* I'll show you who the b*tch is! *
