My Boss Is A Soul Eating Spirit.
At your service, Bella.
Bella squirms, trying to turn, something warm, and heavy wrapped around her waist stops her from moving, she exerts more force but fails to move.
"Is this hell? My body burns." Bella sighs in turmoil.
Her neck hurts and she struggles to open her eyes. Her body feels hot and throat is dry.
She repeatedly mumbles under her breath.
"Here, open your mouth."
Someone whispers in her ear, and she opens her eyes wide.
The room is bright, stinging her eyes making her blink twice.
The glass tumbles on the floor when Bella jerks her head back hitting the person behind her.
Crawling forward she rubs her eyes, trying to see clearly.
Isabella
Who... Who are you?
Unknown
You don't remember me?
Bella raises a perfect brow, emphasizing her earlier question.
"is he playing with me? Or is he dumb?"
She judges.
Bella shakes her head in a no.
Unknown
I saved you…
You must remember falling off from casa de reale?
Bella looks around her once again,
a moment ago she thought it was hell... But now that she came to know that someone has saved her from dying she's at their place. Still alive, breathing and suffering.
Bella lunges at the guy grabbing him by his collars she shakes him with all the force of her body. He doesn't budge, standing in his place he looks down at Bella.
Isabella
Did i ask you to save me? What's wrong with you?
Bella yells, hitting his chest, demanding answers from him.
She falls silent when the guy grabs her wrists, glaring down at her.
His deep brown eyes are glowing red, fear sinks deeper in Bella, blinking back her tears, she stands tall, glaring at him.
Unknown
Yes, your soul was desperate, desperate enough to beg me to save you.
As for what's wrong with me? I don't know... we will have enough time to figure it out.
Isabella
Lies...
My soul... It is tired, it wants to be set free...
The guy pulls Bella staring deep into her clear blue eyes, provoking something deep within her.
Bella twists her wrists to set herself free from him, his grip on her wrist tightens and She winces in pain.
Intimidated by his gaze she lowered her eyes.
she had been sobbing all night, her eyes are sore and swollen.
His voice softens, stepping back he loosens his dead grip from her wrist.
Bella stumbles back, trying to put a distance between her and the guy.
Her ankle hits the base of the bed and next moment she's seated on the edge of the bed.
The room falls eerily silent, Bella looking at the floor as if her eyes are stuck to the tile.
The guy standing at a distance, contemplating, deciding what his next move should be.
Bella is already scared, it was not his intention to scare her, but things turned out that way.
high pitched voice 1
When will you tell her about us?
high pitched voice 2
Look at her, she has so much potential.
Unknown
Beet, Rel, please shut up. Now is not the time.
The guy strides across the room, picking up the glass he places it on the night stand to pour some water in it. he kneels in front of Bella lifting his the glass of water near her lips.
She hesitates, her throat stings reminding of how dry it has been.
Taking a sip from the glass she closes her eyes in relief. After quenching her thirst Bella feels much better and stable than she has been a few moments ago.
Isabella
I'm sorry...
And thank you...for the water...
Unknown
Are you still mad at me for saving you?
Bella's eyes flutter before she raises them to meet his gaze.
His ruby eyes now turned into a soft sea of chocolate brown.
Loads of questions crash in her mind.
"Was it a delusion? Did his eyes really turn into two glowing red rubies? What happened yesterday? How did he save me? Am i on my deathbed? Am i hallucinating?"
Bella opens her mouth... But her tongue feels heavier than before.
Gathering all her courage Bella finally asks...
Isabella
Who... Who are you?
The guy blinks at her, as if it was a difficult question to answer.
Isabella
I asked, WHO ARE YOU?
high pitched voice 2
Show her, show her.
The weird high pitched voice repeats.
Bella flinches hearing a loud crack beneath her.
Darkness envelopes both of them, smoke erupts from the ground rising up covering the guy entirely, fireflies swirl across him glowing brighter in the pitch dark room, Bella's ears buzz as two weird looking creatures land on her each shoulders, she covers her mouth with both her palms, refraining herself from shrieking.
Both the creatures on her shoulders stop buzzing their wings and wait in anticipation, Bella's heart races as she diverts her eyes to other direction.
The smoke clears out and Bella's eye darts to the guy standing in front of her.
Two rugged horns protruding from the side of his head, silky brown hair snaking all the way down till his waist, Glowing red eyes, pointy nose, pure porcelain skin and a wide smug grin splayed across his face.
A chain around his neck, the locket dangling on his bare chest shines as the fireflies swirl around him, his lower half covered with sparkly golden silk cloth wrapped around him and neatly pleated in the middle.
A slender wooden rod in his left hand, the top end has a huge globe shaped coal attached to it.
"what a beautiful man,"
Bella watches him in awe.
Leon
Leon, The soul eating spirit.
He announces, his raspy voice flowing across the room and echoing multiple times.
Bella springs from her seat, her body trembling in fear, she swallows, but the saliva doesn't flow down her throat and it feels as if someone has jabbed a dagger in her throat.
Opening her mouth she tries to breathe but falls to her knees when the air refuses to go in her lungs.
Her eyes frozen on the figure in front of her, the creatures on her shoulders start buzzing again and she swings her hands to remove them off her shoulders.
The guy... Leon kneels, bowing in front of Bella extending his arms toward her, the wooden rod on his palms.
As if he's offering it to her.
high pitched voice 2
Accept it.
The creature on her Left advises.
The creature on her right agrees, vigorously nodding its head in burning excitement.
Bella's mind is numb, she feels like a mush mess, with trembling hands she accepts the wooden trunk from Leon's hand.
The stick buzzes, spritzing spark under Bella's touch, scared by this Bella decides to drop the stick, but Leon holds her hands, gently pressing it around the stick, the stick glows brighter, turning into A huge 7-foot-long iridescent pole wrapped between both Bella and Leon's hands around it.
The glow grows as the shine starts spreading up toward the top portion of the pole, the huge coal globe erupts with an ear deafening tone, Bella squeezes her eyes shut yelling incoherently.
high pitched voice 1
Wow...
Curiosity gnaws and Bella opens her eyes just enough to scan her surroundings, the Room looks a hundred times brighter, she eyes slither up, stopping at Leon's rubies, but she's soon distracted by the bright light falling over her eyes from beside Leon.
The coal globe has turned into a glowing crystal, sparks of pastels lunging around in it.
A moment ago it was just a 7-foot tall wooden branch topped with coal.
But now it has turned into an iridescent, crystal globe crowned scepter.
Mesmerized by the sight, Belle's eyes widened, twinkling at the view.
high pitched voice 1
This is it.
Leon grabs Bella's shoulders and helps her straighten her back, she didn't realise she was slouching until now.
Bella feels as if her heart would jump out of her chest, it's beating rapidly and uncomfortably.
Leon
Guys, we don't have time she's going to pass out soon, go ahead and introduce yourselves.
The creature on Bella's right squeaks.
Rel ends with a wild howl.
Leon
At your service, Bella.
Bella blankly stares at Leon, his face smearing into a blurry blob and her eyes roll back as dizziness pulls her down.
Leon snaps Shifting the whole room into what it was before, Bella's head hits the pillow.
Beet and Rel turns into plush toys plopping down on each side of her head.
