I AM A CONSORT!?

Blu

Blu was a handsome man, he walked with grace across the forest floor. I watched him as he leads me to his home. I don't understand why but my heart was racing when I began to look at him. It was a fair walk but when we reached his home my eyes opened wide and my jaw dropped. His home was made in the forest. The forest trees twisted and turn to make walls so no water would enter. The leaves made shade from the heat of the rising sun. There was plenty of fruit and vegetation for him to eat. His home was beautiful and the different colors of flowers made my day. It was as if the forest gave him a field to grow plants and have a field of flowers and a small stream. I smiled and smelled the flowers. I been so busy with my past life and now this life that I haven't really taken in what I been going through. Just then I felt his hand crest my cheek and his thumb gently removed the tear that formed. I just looked up at him and then was pulled into a full embrace. 

As I walked back home I noticed how she kept staring at me. I don't know if I was making her feel uncomfortable but her facial expression kept changing so I knew she was in deep thought. Yet once we reached my home all of it went away as I watched her face light up like a child. She moved and twirled around smelling and touching the flowers taking in all their beauty. Watching her made me feel less lonely and wanting her more. The heaviness in my heart slowly lifted as I have seen how pure she was. Yet just as her happiness came it went in a flash and her face changed. Tears formed in her eyes and it flowed down her cheek. I couldn't watch it anymore as I raised my hand to her cheek and removed the tear that laid thereupon her cheek. With that, I embraced her. I could feel her body tense yet relaxed for a moment. I felt the cold wetness through my shirt. She was crying without making a noise. I didn't say anything just waited for her to respond. Her body was small and I could feel her bones. Yet she was able to move with so much grace I wouldn't even known that she wasn't healthy. Just then I released her and smiled. "Forgive me, I just couldn't help myself. Let's start cooking and go from there." I said as she just nodded ok in a reply. 

I still was in shock by how sweet he was to hold me like that. His eyes were of the sky and yet I couldn't say to let go because honestly I just needed the hug. I know he will want to know more about me and yet I needed to figure out my next steps soon. I prepared the food and when I laid the plate for him his eyes widen. I think I overdid myself yet again. I was always a good cook when I was young and learned that a woman should know how to cook for her husband. Yet I was a kid who needed to learn how to cook for myself because my parents were always too busy. I watched as he took bites of his food and his eyes to light up with joy. I used all the fresh ingredients. I smiled and then the questions were being asked all at once. "Who are you? Where do you come from? How are you such a good cook? Why were you crying? Why are you in my forest? and the last one really scared me "Do you know why they call it the Forest of Lost Souls?" I smiled and answered each one with my honest answer. My name is Stormy, I am not from here, My mother showed me and then I taught myself the rest. I had a lot happen to me and seeing how beautiful this garden was just moved me in a way. I was disowned by my father and I ran away. I do know why they call this forest by its name. The Forest of Lost Souls is because the  King that felt if you weren't up to his standards then you would be gotten punished some more than others. He would bring the people he figured were not up to his standards Then he would release them after a beating. That person would then wander through the forests for days some met faith with the wildlife others with lack of food and water. Yet others say that the forest woke up and killed the people who entered. I looked at Blu who stared at me then would look away. What was he thinking. We finished our meals and then walked to the middle of his garden where a stump was placed to sit at. "So your name is Blu how did you come to be stuck in this forest? 

I listen to all her answers yet each one was unsatisfying to hear. She was a normal person. You don't know who I am because I have not told you. I am Blu I am the Demon of this Forest. After telling her about myself she didn't even shutter she just sat there smiling. Before I could say another word she got up and twirled around. 

"Mr.Blu Demon, may I stay here a few days just until I know where I am going to go. Also, you don't scare me one bit. I been through a lot and just need a few day's rests before going back to my journey. I watched as he nodded and didn't say a word. The first night was hard. Sleeping in an unfamiliar home with a guy that is known to kill. I watched as Blu slept nearby his face was soft and white. He looked like a doll or some pop star model or singer from where I was from. He looked like a sleeping baby and with that, I took my hand and traced my fingertip ever so lightly across his cheek. I blushed at such a sight. I then pulled away and sat and thank God for giving me one more chance at life. I then closed my eyes and let the darkness take over. Not knowing that I fell asleep on the side of his bed.
