The darkest corners of my mind are yours

Sunday, October 11th
Day 133
Evening

The week has seemed to drag by at an incredibly slow pace, and the news Cain brought didn’t help it much. That was the second time I’d heard the name Lilith and he seemed a little surprised that I had heard of her at all, though I didn't say from where. Just the thought of what she did to poor Laurence makes my ( Read more... )

“Hello?”

It is her smell that I catch before her voice. My head lifts in response and I inhale deeply. She is more mature, but that is most definitely my pajarita. My last client left at least an hour ago, pushing aside the paperwork, I rise to see her walk into my dear colleague's office. "I'm just here to grab my dish and I've got it, so I'll be on my way,"

Since the gift from the matriarch wore away, I have found small things have stayed. Such as silence in my movements. When she turns around, I am framed in the doorway. Hands within pockets and shoulder against the door frame.

"Hello."

"Hello."

Startled, I draw in a sharp breath and jump back half a step, feeling the dish fumble and then slip from my hands as they fly up to my chest to keep my heart from jumping out.

Where in the world did he come from?

Then the dish crashes to the floor, shattering, and the resounding crash makes me nearly jump out of my skin again, "Oh gods, I'm so sorry, how clumsy of me," I laugh nervously, barely hearing my own voice over my heart pounding in my ears. "I guess I didn't hear you come in." I give him an apologetic smile as I crouch down, picking up the larger pieces of glass first and setting the smaller ones inside those ( ... )

I could catch it, but the flush of shock that drifts from her skin is luscious enough that I do not. Little bird, my powers may have wiped our encounters from your mind, but something inside you remembers. I nod at her question and bring both a small bin and broom.

Leaning down, I brush her hand with mine as I assist her in picking up the glass, feeling her shiver under my touch. "I am so sorry to have startled you, pajarita. Please, let me make it up to you in some way." I catch her eyes in mine and smile. I believe the long game will be more satisfying with her. And if not, well, either way I shall have my answer on what she has done to me.

When he leaves the room, I release a long breath I didn't even realize I was holding until I let it out.

What's wrong with me today?

Maybe its just everything that's been going on and the fact that I'm keenly aware of how dark its getting and how fast. My last meeting with Marbas is enough to keep me from letting my guard down enough to try to see if there is anything strange with him or if its just me. The way I've been lately, its likely all me.

He returns to the room with a dustpan and broom in hand, leaning down to help with the clean up and my body tenses involuntarily and shudders at the sight touch of his hand. So cold. And there's that tug again, from somewhere deep in my mind. For a split second I can see the moon.

I shake it off. This is just ridiculous. Its been months since the attack and I've been doing just fine. There's no reason to be so skittish, its Lucien's office and this man's a doctor, Marbas would have warned me if there was anything truly unsafe. "I am so sorry to have startled you, pajarita. Please, let ( ... )
