Tell a beautiful story

- Strange for you to be this calm for such a time Jay.

Jay was truly being unusual. After that night, when she encountered her savior as the devil, things slightly changed. She was aware of it. Something from him had affected her pretty strong. She is still under the effect of that. She could never forget what she saw that very moment in that presence. She had a taste of the nectar she wanted.

- It's that person.

- He sure had an impact on you.

- That's not it.

- Are you infatuated?

- Not that either.

- You need him.

- I'm not sure ....

- To the point then ...…...

- …..?

- He is the who temporarily put you into calm.

- ... yes!

- He saved you unintentionally.

- Yes!

- So, now you know you need him or not?

- I don't a thing about him …...

- You know his face.

- Clearer than ice, I can never forget that face!

- Than stop worrying.

- Why not?

- He's one of your kind.

- But he's living, not being a coward like me.

- He has grown to learn his remedy, so have you ...

- I have?

- Yes!

- What is it?

- Him!

- He?

- What he does, is your cure. Because you cannot do that on your own. You need him.

- But how can I find him?

- You don't have to.

- Then how ...…

- Because ...eventually he will find you!!!

......….

Jay's conversation with the mind seems like the act of any normal psycho talking with herself. But in spite of being a part inside and confronting out her innermost desires, it has a complete different existence. It exists in Jay, but bears another life. Both Jay and it, makes the whole of her.

Whatever Jay is told by it, is usually correct. The predictions work like oracles. Jay believes, and it comes true. It's her personal coincidental superpower. Unaware of it, Jay had believed it countless times which had been taken in to action sooner she could have imagined. To complete this power, Jay needs to believe in it on her own will. And she herself have never understood of this, not still now.

This time too, it came true sooner than before.

Jay had already exceeded the tolerance limit of her control, in almost 2 weeks. She was on the verge of losing it, her brain nerves popping due to strange electrocutions. This sensation was new, because she's been waiting for it to come. The soothing through her blood when she was healed last time, she wanted to feel it all over again properly.

Before she realized it, she found herself pacing breathlessly, without a pause!

She had no idea of direction, or her goal.

It had been pretty difficult to hide her crisis this whole time. After crossing several such encounters from her brothers, her mindset was undergoing gradual changes bearing less and less endurance on herself. None of them tried to give her a hard time since they felt guilty for the last time, but Jay's heart had already suffered the impact of the damage. It was more vulnerable by the time. Because she wasn't capable of undergoing the emotional and rebellious phases in her age, her dire changes made her susceptible to tolerance level. A capability, which would have killed anyone in seconds!

Jay would have surely given up if things would have continued the same, but this time,

It's not gonna be the same anymore!

Her last trial, being a real difficult pain, was successfully escaped. Due to one grand!

Her savior!

The demon, in disguise of the prince. Jay cared the least about that, as long as he can save her. She won't even care if he were the Grim himself. He's is the only one who can bring her back from the abstract while she's still hanging on, to her former self.

It can only be him!

It's not like she wants to see people getting killed, she just wants to live for once!

Jay was clawing on to her chest as she stumbled across the wall. Night had fallen and she was alone as usual. She didn't bother running anywhere specific this time, not even Travis's gang. She just went sub-consciously where her mind guided her. For the second time, she decided to give it on it because she needed to find him.

She looked around and realized a set of subway station.

An isolated one, not even a guard in sight. Fortunately, the pangs were not that extreme yet, she could still hold for the worst to come yet. But if she can't obtain a remedy soon in her solitary situation, she can't make it for longer.

That's when the voice reached her ears!

Those gagging helpless gasps, choking utters!

Jay was leaning on to a pillar as she couldn't afford much motion in her state, else it would accelerate. All she could do is quench her curiosity, crawl on her fours and change sides of the cubical pillar, still huffing and breathing dizzily.

It started fading.

It was ...…indeed fading away!!!

Jay's hand on her chest lost its grip, her throbbing electrocution loosened too. Her breathing and heart both relaxed. Her hand was still on her bosom softly, as her eyes were the only ones experiencing the most sooth and taking in the share of her whole body inside. Without her knowing, she's been tamed!

It's him!

Her savior!

With his unchanged fake cover and same chilling air from heart. His gaze, fixed on his task, colder than the brutal of predators. The very same red dripping dagger in his hand. His face, blood sprayed. So divine he looked. Apart from the very piece of art beneath him, he himself appeared beautiful like a portrait to Jay.

But she was late!

He was almost done with his kind of painting. He was just bent, leaning, and staring at the red princess with abnormally opened eyes, extreme shocked face and trembling lips.

It didn't matter.

Jay passionately was taking in that very aftermath. She reflected heavenly charisma which helped her live. She was grateful to her for that, she was really pretty. Attractive!!! Calling her a corpse would be such an insult to the efforts of him. He made her dress beautifully in bright red dress in her clean exposed skin with streaks of blood flowing like branches everywhere. Just like a red spider lily flower. If no one can admire this, they're ...... not normal!

Jay was glued in her place, savoring the 3D creation.

"Do you have a wipe?", a voice snapped out Jay from above.

She was so indulged in herself for the relief, that she didn't notice when he had walked up to her. He was jerking the dagger simultaneously to get rid of the drench. By his looks it seemed that this time he had faced a good fight on.

His voice was scamming Jay like before. There's no way it can be this intoxicating. A depth in that tone, like a no ending waterfall.

She met his eyes, a pair of most innocent and honest eyes. Hypocrisy at it's peak. She just shook her head violently at that blue gaze.

"No?", he asked Jay at her shaking of head and bent at her level of height. Suddenly with no warning, he reached and caught the edge of the ruffles attached to her shirt collar. Without any permission, he tugged it roughly and tore it off of the end.

Jay unintentionally glared at him. He has no sign of regret for that. He casually started wiping the blood on his face first with a disgusted look and then switched over to his dagger. Jay didn't frown, she just kept gaping without a word.

"Why won't ........you kill me?", the words blurted of her mouth.

He didn't look up at her as he replied," Ignore the reason, heed the result", he talked still concentrating on the dagger and exposing his mysophobia symptoms," Aren't you here for that only?"

Jay had no reply.

She had sort of expected him to look right through her. She had a hunch from her mind that he could be one of her. That's why he could casually interact with her, because he knew it.

Jay quickly took a liking to him. His job is capable, and she needed that.

"How did you manage to find me this time??", he looked up finally for a moment, still cleansing the dagger.

"I just ...…aimlessly ran?", Jay's earnest reply.

"I delayed it a bit ...…since I was expecting a sharp-nosed hound", his irony was intended to be a humor.

He paused his hand. Again, with no prediction, he leaned over Jay. His eyes in direct lock with hers. Their faces only few centimeters apart. She didn't flinch a bit even when she could feel his breath over her face. He was studying her!

"I know these eyes very well", he whispered and jolted back," Same like mine when I was of your age".

He turned his head behind once and back at Jay. Adjusting himself to sit comfortably on his bottoms, he asked," Feels great, doesn't it? Wanna try?".

Jay lost her words. She stared with completely hollow eyes.

He noticed that in a second of lifting his gaze once and smirked a little," Nah, you're still underaged", he talked on all by himself.

Jay realized her hand still on her chest as she dropped it. This time, he didn't even look but spoke," That's the roughest time in this age", he said as if he had been through the inhumane suffering," Did you find the remedy?", he chuckled sarcastically. His face doesn't even show that he just committed a sin few minutes ago. Not did it strike Jay. Guess, this kind are all the same.

"Can I ...", Jay's voice had turned pretty timid and nervous before him," .... see you next time too?".

But he was pretty relaxed," Next time?', he asked a bit confused which quickly changed to a brighter one," Ah, when you've been driven to limit?". He really catches on to things quicker without having Jay explain. It was saving her the hassle. She nodded embarrassed as she sneaked and stole glances from him.

"Only then?", he made a pitiful expression, "That's boring".

"You sure seem pretty carefree for the kind", Jay hated when the main topic is been diverted away. She didn't want to offend him in any case, but his nature gave her the courage to speak her mind. She bit her tongue after saying those words.

And again, he didn't care.

He just laughed," And handsome too, don't you think? I get that a lot".

- That's ...a fake cover!

Jay retorted unknowingly.

The guy hid his smile and ran his fingers through his hair, "Your mind type ...is really sharp!".

- I didn't know mind has a type.

- I knew yours the first time I looked into those eyes ...…...and also that, I won't let it be out last meet.

- I guess I really know my way out.

He laughed shortly again," Meal tomorrow? I'll treat anything you want".

- A common way to trick like them? Why the hassle, just finish things off here.

- You could have surpassed me in my age. 1 pm? The café near your college?

- How do you know?

- You're sharp, try to be a bit practical also.

- Well, do I have to agree on that? It isn't a barter system; can't I just inform you when I need it?

- I can't save you for free and not take credits. Twice already. All I asked for a meal, where I'm too paying?

Jay just closed her eyes in an overflowing sensation of irritation. It was a cue that she has accepted the weird proposal.

"The name's Ace", he said getting up and lending a hand to Jay.

Jay didn't ask for it nor did she want to reply. He looked like hoping and waiting for both. The answer and the hand. A moment went still with Jay's stubbornness.

- I'll follow till your home if I don't get to address you.

- ...…Jay.

She took the hand and sighed.
