36 AGONY

The higher I get, the lower I’ll sink.

I can’t drown my demons, they know how to swim.

-Bring Me The Horizon-

******************

“No, I don’t love him.”

Sol knew that those words were not true, he could see it right in her eyes. From the way she cried, the tears that streamed down her cheeks and how she averted her gaze after saying it.

However, the pain still pierced his heart fiercely and the fact that he was laying down on the ground without being able to reach her was another pain that gnawed at his mind. His ego was hurt and he wouldn’t let it slide.

He would hunt down that man at the first chance he was given, especially when Sol knew one thing...

“HE IS NOT A HUMAN!” He roared, ignoring the scorching pain in his throat when he stretched his neck to catch a glimpse of Lise’s eyes.

.....

Once he said those words, the four people that pinned him down to the ground guffawed, as their laughter echoed in this cold night.

“Of course he is not human, he is a McKeltar, the most successful young businessman!” one of them ridiculed him and the other three hurled more insults at him.

However, amidst their ridiculing, Sol realized one thing; Lise already knew that the man was not human. She didn’t think he was bluffing when he said that.

But, how?

The fact that Lise had known about other supernatural creatures that walked side by side with the humans, surprised him even more.

People, aside from those who had interacted with the supernatural creatures or people from the organization, wouldn’t have known that there were non- human beings, such as werewolves, devils and other creatures that existed. They were only myths in a normal human’s eyes.

But, Lise knew.

Sol could see understanding and fear in her beautiful eyes which were now trying to avoid his own. But, how? Did this creature have done something to her? It was not normal for the non- human existence to reveal their true self, since it was their nature to avoid being exposed.

And as if the creature was aware of Sol’s confusion, Gael walked toward him.

“Stay there babe, I don’t want you to get closer to him.” His expression turned rigid and his voice became hard when he saw Lise was about to defy his order. “I will not have more patience for you, Lise. One step closer and he will die in the next second.”

Lise stood frozen, her eyes trained on Sol’s enraged expression. The man was still trying to get away from the man on top of him, but it was simply hard to turn the tables around when you were in a disadvantageous position and were outnumbered.

“I will kill you, pest!” Sol hissed dangerously. He looked feral, while Gael moved closer to him.

Lise had never seen Sol being so riled up like this before. She had seen him angry, but that was nothing close to this.

“Pest?” Gael raised his brows, with a vicious smirk gracing his lips. He grabbed his jaw which rendered him unable to move, before he lowered his head and whispered into his ears, so it was only him who could hear his next words. “That’s what you call my kind?”

Gael admitted it.

“Stay away from my girl before I kill you in front of her after I f*ck her.” Gael chuckled when he felt the murderous intent and bloodlust from this feral human being. “That will be the last thing that you will see before you die, so don’t waste your time.”

After delivering his warning, Gael straightened up and dusted the imaginary dirt from his clothes, before he walked toward Lise.

“Get in the car,” he said rigidly. His eyes blazed with anger at Lise’s defiant act of running away with some punk from The Organization.

===================

“Gael, please... don’t do this... they will know...” Lise sobbed when Gael’s hands roamed around her body.

Currently they were inside the car, parked in one of the parking lots, sitting on the back seat. Even though he had asked all the men to go out, they would know what was happening inside the car if Gael kept doing this.

“Let them know...” Gael said, breathing down her neck. He was truly upset because of what had happened earlier, but when he felt her body was shaking uncontrollably and she was having difficulty breathing, he pulled himself away from her.

Lise felt her throat tighten as her chest caved in. It was very painful, as she gasped for air.

“Lise?” Gael called out to her when he saw there was something wrong with her. “What happened?”

Gael pulled her hand away from her face and cupped her face between his palms, but it only made her condition worse, her face was very red, and her expression reminded Gael of someone who was being drowned.

Of course he knew, as he had drowned many men before.

“Oh, sh*t!” Gael cursed loudly when he realized that Lise’s consciousness slipped away. “Lise!”

The last thing that Lise heard was Gael’s shouting furiously for the men out there to get in the car, as he tried to cover her body. She was not totally naked, but of course Gael wouldn’t let them see her without tidying up her clothes.

=================

“Hey, pink!”

Gael appeared all of a sudden beside Blue when the little girl was having breakfast before she went to school.

Blue was startled, but then she gave him a deathly glare over her mug. “I am Blue!”

“You look awful,” Anne hissed when he saw Gael’s appearance.

“You hurt my pride.” He put his hand over his chest, feigning hurt. “I had a rough night, okay, but I am still gorgeous!”

“Did you forget how to use the door? You can’t just appear and disappear as you please,” Anne reprimanded him.

“I will leave after taking my clothes.” After saying that, he disappeared again.
