17 What’s With This Expression?

'What? How can this be?'

He looked between the woman before him and his sketch on the parchment of paper.

The woman before him was different. Her body was as defined as he was informed but, her face was not. She looked quite innocent; major contrast to her rather promiscuous lifestyle.

Her blue hair hung gracefully over her shoulders, parted on the forehead, and falling equally on both sides.

"Are you finished?" she asked turning her face to the side, avoiding eye contact.

He gave her a scrutinizing look as though trying to uncover all her secrets but eased back nonetheless.

He gave her a smile.

"I am"

He couldn't take his eyes off her.

'There are too many similarities yet a lot which distinguishes her from nightingale. Something's not right but I do not have any evidence'.

"I have business to attend. If you've gotten what you've wanted, please leave. I'm sure you're a busy man yourself'.

Not once had she given him a glance. Her head remained to the side.

"Well then, I won't take up your time".

She stepped aside and turned the knob on the door, pulling it open.

"Thank you".

He made his way out and giving her one last glance.

'That's quite odd'

His eyes zoomed in onto a tinge of blonde which highlighted the tip of her hair.

'Interesting' his lips curled up into a smile

"I'll be off then".

He raised his hand and made his way down the dimly lit passageway.

She watched as his figure retreated before making her way back into the room, closing the door.

'Just so happens that I'm looking for that witch too. You want her? It's not going to be that easy'.

---------------------------------------------------

'You were quite passionate. Show me that passion once again'.

Roland shuddered at the thought.

'How? I willingly threw myself onto th – th – th – th – this beast? I said I wanted one right in the ass, I find this hard to believe but that song'.

He sighed.

'I don't want to experience my behind being ripped. I'm straight. I'm not gay, I'm not gay

It must have been a joke.I must get away'.

He swallowed hard.

'Can't believe I'm about to do this'.

He forced a smile onto his lips.

'I like vag. I like vag. I like vag. I like vag. I like vag. I like vag. I like vag. I like vag. I like vag. I like vag.'

He chanted over and over in his head.

"Th – th – tha – that was quite a passionate night".

'Never thought I'd see the day when I'd be uttering such words to a beast. If it was a human male I'd probably die but this is a beast. How does one remain sane in such a situation??'

"I see. So, you remember".

It laughed heartily.

'Surprisingly, it sounds normal. I guess them evolving was only limited to physical form and didn't affect the way it communicates with others'.

"I'd like to have a replay of that night but now's not the time" It gave off the feeling of being heartbroken.

'What's with this expression?' his eye twitched.

"I have a task to complete. I won't be long though. Once I've finished, I'll come back".

It ruffled Roland's hair before turning his back and walking away.

Roland had no other choice but to remain and wait for the beast to appear.

'I tried freeing myself for hours but to avail. Even if it was to come back tomorrow, there's no guarantee that I'll be able to free myself. These wisps are too tight'.

He struggled a bit before calming himself down.

True to its words, the beast walked towards Roland after an hour. But this time, it was not alone.

As it walked towards Roland, he could make out a silhouette seemingly belonging to a female.

As it got closer, the moon light unveiled its figure from the darkness.

'She looks quite young. What does he plan on doing with her?'

"I'll be taking you with me but, I'll have to knock you out".

'Take me with it? Knock me out?'

Before he could utter a word, the beast raised its hand and struck Roland.
