Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Cold Warmth ❯ Jakobi ( Chapter 5 )

Jakobi

Today was going to my first day at Gals Sports bar.

It was going on two in the afternoon; I had to be there at four.

Since I had a couple of hours to spare, I thought I would go to Stone Village.

It was only a fifteen minute drive and a half hour hike to get there, so I definitely wouldn't have a whole lot of time to talk, I just needed to make sure that killing the girl from last night would have paid off.

I was there in no time, probably faster than 30 minutes, but I had left my phone in my car in my haste.

I was trying to find Villy, usually she was at the library so that is the first place I tried.

Today she wasn't there however, go figure, so I went to the fountain to ask some people where she was. The fountain was like the mall without the buying things.

Fairies went there to talk, gossip, flirt, and get a hook up or anything.

But it was a big gorgeous fountain in the middle of Stone Village.

Like I said before Stone Village is a place where everyone knows your business, so someone there was bound to know where Villy was.

I asked the first Fairy I saw Seeda, she was a very gorgeous girl with very dark Green hair, luscious red lips, bright purple eyes, and wings with green, purple, and black, they were shaped as butterfly wings.

We use to fool around, but almost everyone around here has one point or another, we don't have to worry about STD's or anything around here.

So there is no danger to having sex with a random fairy.

But Seedy was wearing a blue velvet dress showing plenty of breasts.

“She is over at Cren's cottage”

I told her thanks as I quickly ran to find Villy.

As I was about to knock on Cren's door Villy stepped out almost making me punch her.

She was absolutely glowing, and from all the other fairy men around us I saw that they found her absolutely stunning as well.

I took her by the hand and led her to a more discreet place so that we could talk.

“So I take it that your power has increased?”

“Yes very much so, I feel so rejuvenated so full of energy and power! Like I could become one with the sun, and shine upon the world with myself!'

“So do you need me to take more lives or are you content with the power you have?”

“Of course not! I want to be revitalized with every kill you make!”

For some reason I felt an odd emotion, like I would get sick or something, like I had this bad pain in my torso when I realized I would have to continue to kill.

I realized that the pain increased when I thought of taking another life, I think it might have been guilt?

But why would I feel guilty? Humans killed all the time with no guilt, maybe not other humans, but animals.

Hell they would probably kill us fairies just to further their research.

Whatever I was thinking must have reflected in my eyes, because Villy was giving me a forlorn look.

When she saw me look at her she said “Actually if you want, instead of taking a life every day you can take one every few days, we don't need to make that population any smaller in Ashland.” Walking away and laughing was her indication that this conversation was over.

As I got back to my car I realized it was only three-twenty. So I drove home real quick to take an abrupt shower.

For some reason, I was eager to get to work.

After the shower I shaved, deodorized, did my hair, and put some cologne on.

I threw on some old jeans and a pale green shirt that said, “If you could read my mind you wouldn't be smiling”.

If only the people of Ashland knew how true that was.

 

As I walked into Gals all the smoke inside engulfed around me. My eyes scanned the room and landed on such a pretty woman, that until now, I didn't even realize I was specifically looking for her.

She had told me last night that I was going to be working with Jeff, the other bartender. So I automatically went behind the bar clocked in, and put an apron on.

Arora was taking an order, and I saw her sneak a glance at me and smile.

Just that one look from her made something in me take flight, like I was on air such a strange reaction for me to have.

No one, not even in Stone Village, made me feel like that.

I started making drinks that were being called flawlessly, throwing a few tricks in for entertainment.

Close to the end of the night I had a decent size crowd shouting, and praising me for my impeccable talent.

When I saw that Arora looked impressed I started overdoing my tricks.

Seeing as my heart felt like it was racing while she was watching me, I felt apprehensive and inevitably dropped a bottle of whiskey.

Jeff helped me pick it up, and as I was heading to the back to throw away the broken glass I saw Arora.

It felt as if my heart skipped a beat. Why did I continue to have such a strange reaction to this human girl?

All these new emotions were giving me a headache.

“So you broke a bottle huh? I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner, you have some smooth moves there though.”

For some reason her appraisal made me feel more exceptional than the crowds did.

I laughed and said “Ya, we had some crazy parties in college and I picked up some skills! But apparently not enough.” I said as I threw the broken glass in the trash.

She laughed and it sounded delightful, and her smile was so enchanting.

“So what about you did you learn any savvy tricks in college?” I asked.

She seemed to automatically stiffen at the mention of college, and her eyes went distant as if they were in another place and time.

“I learned to be very... cautious.” She said slowly.

And as if shaking off a memory she met my eyes and smiled,

“But anyways, we need to start closing up soon.” She smiled and walked away. That smile left an ache in my chest, because that smile was covering something up, something sad, and bitter.

But why should I care?

There was no use fighting it, I did care, and some part of me wanted to comfort her. I wanted to hold her in my arms.

As I looked at my arms, and my hands I felt disgusted by myself. I wanted to hold her with these hands, the hands that on the previous night held a woman and took her life away.

I felt something wet slide down my face, with my left hand I touched my cheek and looked at it, my face had water on it, a tear?

Why was I so conflicted, I needed to get over it.

With a frustrated sigh I went back upfront and we started closing everything. Arora, Shelly, and Jeff were all saying goodbye to everyone.

I felt out of place, so I just did as much work as I could to stay preoccupied.

It seemed as if no time had passed before we locked the doors. Everyone had already left; it was only Arora and myself out on the gravely parking lot.

The scent of grass and cool fresh air went around us making our hair fly in all sorts of directions.

“So what are you going to be doing the rest of the night?” Arora said out of nowhere.

I laughed and said, “I really don't know.”

It was so strange, I wanted to be so badass and awesome in her eyes, but just being around her made me feel so nervous and jittery, like I could say something absolutely stupid at any moment.

As she was about to say something, she tripped.

I automatically caught her, but I didn't let her go, we just stood there with her in my arms, looking at each other.

I couldn't breathe, it felt as if my heart stopped, all I could do was look into her beautiful green hazel eyes, and she was looking right into mine, not noticing we were just standing there so close and intimate.

It seemed like a lifetime and yet no time at all before we pulled apart.

Something in me aching for our bodies to be so close again.

“Well, I should probably be getting home, my roommate is probably waiting for me. I will see you tomorrow at four?” she said sounding breathless.

“I'll be here.” I assured her, trying not to sound like I just ran a marathon.

We just stood there for an awkward second, I didn't know what to do, and I wanted to be close to her again, enwrap her in an embrace. But some part of me knew that we barely knew each other, yet a part of me feels like I've known her forever. Especially considering these feelings she brought inside of me. She was the first to talk.

“So… Bye, I will see you tomorrow.” She raised her hand to shake mine. So we awkwardly took hands, my body wanting to just pull her closer, reluctantly behaved.

It was so crazy, we didn't want to leave each other, but we knew that it was to crazy of an idea to just stay there together when we barely knew one another.

So we held each other's eyes longingly as we got into our vehicles.

Once I was home and I was going to sleep, I started wonder again, why does she have such an effect on me?
