Beneath Blood and Water Chapter 13
Alex’s arms are warm.Warm, steady, grounded.Like a heartbeat that refused to waver, even as mine tripped over itself with every step he took.I clung to him, not that I had a choice. My tail was long and heavy, still slick from the stream, dragging behind us and leaving a wet trail through the underbrush.I hated how useless I felt outside of water, and the elegant look in water was gone. In water, it looked like birds' wings floating around me like a halo; now it just lay flat and damp, almost lifeless.but I didn’t say anything. Not when he held me in his arms like this.I will not regret my decision to go home.I pushed my face into Alex’s chest and inhaled his scent like I needed it to breathe.I groaned against his neck, “You smell so good”“Thank you?&rd

I gripped my hands to hard they hurt, my nails digging into my skin, I could smell the blood in the air, and from the way Alex furrowed his brows he probably could as well.He held my hand softly slowly unfurling it, his eyes filled with confusion, “You’re hurt? How”I gave no answer, my smile never left my face, this wasn’t a dream…I’m not alone.he came back.He gently washed away the blood in the stream watching it as it quickly healed itself.When the skin had finally closed up he nodded.I just watched him, he was so beautiful.Maybe I had never seen another human, minus the red haired once I just saw, but Alex is my star.I stared deep into his dark eyes, I felt like I was floating in space, just watching him made me feel like I was floating in the air“We’re leaving” Alex said in finality.Just like that I was dragged back to the ground.I watched Alex my mouth opened to say something but no words coming out.I coughed, “You're leaving” my voice was small hoarse.Alex looked c

The familiar feeling of being submerged in a memory washed over me.The air was heavy….thick with the dark feeling of despair.I felt as if the very life around me was being siphoned away, the moisture in my skin vanishing as if pulled by an unseen force. My vision blurred, the world dissolving into nothingness until all that remained was me and a child.I stood in the middle of the memory, but this time I wasn’t seeing the memory through the eyes of a participant; this time I was an observer. I was watching, feeling.I sat next to a childThe child’s dark hair fell over his eyes, but I instinctively knew who it was.-Alex- curled against a wall, knees pulled to his chest. His clothes were thin, dirty, torn at the edges.I knew because I could feel mine aching, too, a sharp, excruciating pain. I wanted to keel over and vomit the water in my stomach, but this child that was no older than nine kept silent, his arms littered with bruises.I sat beside him and looked for any pain in his ey

Caius stretched out in the passenger seat, sighing in pure satisfaction. "Money is really nice."I hummed in agreement. It was convenient. This was probably the first time I had actually used my own money. The Director had always provided everything.I never wanted for anything enough to reach for my own wallet. It felt strange… but nice. "So, where to now?""I’m going to buy cake.""Cake?" I kept my eyes on the road, scanning for a bakery. "Yes. My friend asked for one." Caius tilted his head, studying me. Then, with an exaggerated sigh, he draped a hand over his chest. "Your friend again. You must really love them… I, as your master, am positively drowning in jealousy."I rolled my eyes, ignoring him until a shop caught my attention up ahead. Slowing the RV, I found a suitable place to park, barely sparing a glance at the people gawking at the vehicle."I’ll be right back." Caius hummed in response. I could hear the faint vibration of the massage setting on his seat. Of

After sorting things out with Caius and getting his word that he won't use his explosion on me, I decided to remove the chains on his feet and leave the ones on his hands. I was still wary, but he said something about it weakening him, so I felt like it was safer having him weaker than at full power, even though he could still make things explode.We well-I decided to head into town. Caius joined me like unwanted cargo, whining and fussing at every little inconvenience.The first one is the meat puddle’s car.“Absolutely not.” Caius stood with his arms crossed over his chest glaring at the car like it had personally offended him.I sighed and looked at the sun, it had become warmer, and it should be afternoon now. “We don’t have time for this. get in or I’m leaving you”Caius didn’t budge. he turned around, and his back was facing the car. “Then enjoy driving alone”I grumbled then got in the car and slammed the door starting the engine, I looked at Caius he still didn’t budge, I used

I felt every letter of the word ‘exhausted’ deep in my bones.My body shattered and rebuilt itself with every passing second, each cell screaming as it was torn apart and reshaped into something more……powerful.But my eyes never left the man at any point, even after he asked for help,.He practically blew up a car trunk and came out unscathed. He seems like a more significant threatI pushed myself to sit upright, clenching my finger so much I felt the blood trickle down my fingers.My mask was in place, betraying no emotion; I could not show weakness.“Who…no. What are you?” I put more force into my voice, ignoring the way my chords felt like shredded cheese, even though that was also healing… slowly. I made a move to reach for my gun by the side out of habit, but I paused when I remembered that was not my life anymore.I put it back on the ground and looked back at him. yes this was a new life; I cant waste it…I have…someone waiting for me.The thought of someone waiting for me gav

The walk to the next town was not stressful as it was dull; the pure absence of noise drilled into my soul.I had worried about a lot of things: the possibility of the director still searching for my corpse, the cops stopping me and asking for ID or just possibly dying from a stray car hitting me.But I did not expect what could do me in was the lack of noise.The splash of water…The dragging of his tail on the stone floor…His singing, although it had no magic power- or so he says- put me in a trance.Or just him talking to me.I missed it all.As I trudged the asphalt road one step at a time, I had no way of accurately telling the time.I scanned for any cars or signs of help.Calculating the time I used to drive to the marsh from the next town, walking would significantly waste a chunk of the day.A pair of mismatched eyes flashed in my head.No, I would either run there or find a car willing to pick me up.I thought about the possibility of running; I could probably make it there

“You’re leaving?”Orion asks for the umpteenth time that morning.“Why do you have to leave? We have everything we need”I looked at him with a raised brow, “Really”He looked me on with no shame, “Yes you have water, food, oxygen, a roof over your head and clothing”I sighed out of exasperation, I didn’t think I could feel such an emotion but I’ve realized that there's a lot of new things I can learn just from being close to him, and I didn’t know if it was good or bad.“You have memories of those you ate right?”He scrunched his brows,”Yea why?”“So you know a human needs more than that” I gestured around the cave with my hands, “And the clothes aren't thick enough do you want me to freeze to death?”He closed his mouth at that, “Fine” he whispered begrudgingly turning away from me his back still tensed.”Just promise you'll come back OK?”I couldn’t see his face, “I promise” I gave an offhand reply searching for a shoe to pair with the one I found in the junk pile of human shit he k

The cave felt warm and peaceful that morning, the kind of warmth that settled into my bones and made you want to stay right there forever.Alex, (as I later learned was his name), sat on a flat stone near the water’s edge, sharpening one of his knives with slow, practiced strokes, he said he wanted to fish, I wondered why he needed a knife to do it, he could always just grab them and throw them somewhere dry, but considering he was sick maybe he didn’t trust his reflexes.His face, as always, was a mask of calm but I could see the stiffness in his shoulders, the way his left leg stretched a little too rigidly, as if trying to avoid pain.I tilted my head sighing into a stretch, “come on lets go exercise my brave warrior”“i don’t need you to exercise”, was his reply“i know, but you don’t have the strength to balance on your own two feet for too long right now..” I swam closer to him and rested my head close to his legs, I took one of his feet making small slow circles,”You just woke

Chapter 1
When I think to the day it all started I am always shocked by how mundane it was, a car ride with home with whom I considered a brother, the wind in our hair, the growl of the engine, a body in the trunk, and caked blood on your shoes, I made sure to be cleaner in the hit this time compared to others.I watched the places around me fade into a blur of greens and blues, a mush mosh of blurred colors, the wind calmed my nerves, the impatience I held that this car wouldn’t go faster.“Alex are you listening?” I shook my head still looking out the window.“What did you say?” I asked quietly, my voice above a whisper, as if speaking any louder would break the peace that I currently had.“I was asking if you're really quitting?” I turned to look at the manDyed red hair in a buzz cut a permanent smile on his face as if it were cut and sewn there on his face, he was always so darn happy.I respected that and it also annoyed me who as the Director always said had facial expressions that were ...
