Infected [EX] #6

“Cloud!,” I called, “Let him go!”

She looked at me, then looked at Grim, then at me again. She finally loosened her grip around his neck and let go.

“Blood!” Grim cried.

“Not so fast,” I said, aiming at him with my left arm, barely holding on to the lightning at the tips of my fingers. Grim froze. He couldn’t dodge lightning.

Dymend rose up from his place on the floor, and walked over to Grim. I was relieved to know he was still alive. He calmly walked over to Grim.

“No,” Grim muttered, “Blood?”

Dymend took a hold of Grim by the arms, and actually lifted him a foot off the ground. Grim struggled to free himself. He kicked the air, and even tried biting Dymend. He quickly closed his mouth, the pain visible on his face. Eventually, he gave up.

The purple haired woman walked to me, and gazed into my eyes. I gazed back into hers. Her angelic wings covered her nakedness. There was something in her face, something that I had seen before, something familiar.

“My hero!” she cried as she hugged me with her wings.

“Wha-” was all I could manage to say before she pulled me close to her with her wings and kissed me.

She was passionate. Enthusiastic. A very good kisser. She pushed, and I pushed back. It was wonderful.

But something kept nagging me. Something in the back of my mind. I couldn’t put my finger on it. All I could think of were her lips, this kiss, her naked body, all underneath the cover of her wings. We kept kissing.

Then the darkness settled in, and she broke away. I didn’t want it to end. She backed away from me. This could only be Cloud.

“Oh shit!” I thought to myself.

“What’s happening?” the woman said in a shaky voice.

“Cloud!” I called.

She didn’t answer.

“Cloud!” I called again.

“It’ll be alright,” I called to the woman.

“Cloud!”

The darkness finally lifted. I helped the woman back to her feet and made sure she was alright. I looked for Cloud. Her face was buried in the wall. Her body shuddered. Tears fell to the floor.

I tried to approach her, but the darkness was overwhelming. I stepped back to she had erected a wall of darkness. She did not want to be bothered.

I couldn’t help it. I tried to run in and hopefully reach the wall and find her, but I ended up running back into the light. Somehow I had been turned around. I tried one more time, only to get the same result.

“Fuck,” I said to myself.
