Cursed For A 1000 Years

Chapter 17

He watched her from where he stood, in the darkness. She was busy going throu-gh the catalog of chemicals in the store. She wore a heavy pair of gl@sses which seemed to be covering the majority of her face. There was a torch in her hand, which she used for light. Some minutes later, she lifted two tubes from the catalog and brou-ght to a table. On the table was something that looked like a machine or something Odin has never seen before . There was a little tray un-der the machine on which she poured some of the content and then she adjusted it and brou-ght her face closer so she could take a look at it throu-gh two pointy things. She straightened up as her phone rang and then she re-moved the gloves in her hand.

**

“Hello, father, what’s up? I’m still there. No, just had to run a quic-k throu-gh some things….okay, I know it’s late. I will be careful. Yes, I will be back soon.” She said before ending the call. While she put the phone into her pocket she heard something clattered in the distance. quic-kly, she flashed her torch but there was nothing there. That was really puzzling. Still, she went back to what she was doing and then she heard another clatter like the sound of broken bottles and she jumped in fright. Now, she was sure that something was happening

. quic-kly, she rushed to the cupboard to her left and brou-ght out a rifle which she pointed into the darkness.

Her heart was beating so fast as she pointed the rifle and the torch to no angle in p@rticular, she could feel fear crawling up her spine. Could it be robbers?

“Come out you motherfu**er! Come out let me b!ow your head off!”

“Aww…charming!” c@m£ the reply. It was so sudden that she pu-ll-ed the trigger instantly and there was a lot of clattering followed by silence. Her che-st was rising and falling and she really hoped she at least got whoever it was.

. She expected to hear a gr0@nor at least someone to wince in pain, but instead, there was a bur-st of short laughter followed by:

“Oops! Missed me!” Then more laughter.

She c0cked the rifle again. “Why don’t you wait for me you bastard! Then you will see if I missed you or not. Once I b!ow your head off, there won’t be a single tooth in your mouth!” She threatened but she was replied by a sudden and annoying silence.

While she waited, flashing her torch around, she wasn’t aware of the man that was behind her. He was standing so close and yet, she was busy focusing on the opposite direction.

She felt a sudden torch behind her and she scre-med and turned around so quic-kly, dropping the torch which went off immediately, plunging her into inky darkness.

**

Odin was having fun where he sat, relaxed in a seat close to her. . He almost laughed out as he watched her shivering in the darkness without seeing anything but still holding the rifle desperately. This was fun but it was taking long. He needed to do what he had come here for, still he couldn’t help but notice how strong this lady was. She looked unscared even though she was scared to death.

“Come out you looser! Its only cowards that hide in the darkness!” She shouted.

Odin chuckled and stood up. “I would have loved to pl@ywith you but I’m afraid I do not have all the time, pretty.” He said so suddenly and the lady turned around to shoot the exact angle he happened to be, she sh0t but he was too fast for her, the next thing she felt was a firm hand around her n£¢k….

“Now Rashidat quit messing around.” He ordered her and pushed her to a chair. All of a sudden, the electricity c@m£ on and Rashidat scre-med as she saw his face.

**

“Oh my God! Who are you?” She asked, her che-st rising and falling . The fear was so paralyzing she could h@rdly stand up.

Odin smiled, “I think you meant what am I and if you think de-ep down, I am absolutely certain that you know who I am.” He said in a de-ep voice while smiling mischievously.

Rashidat watched him as he went throu-gh her stuff, she was beginning to remember that he had seen someone that….”Oh my God..Ichabod…”

Odin turned to her suddenly, his brows furrowed in a frown, “I think you are mistaken…”

“No no, you are the other one. You are the other side aren’t you.”

He grinned satisfactorily, “bullseye! You brilliant girl. No wonder the old man c@m£ to you.”

The expression on Rashida’s face went from that of terror to admiration

. “Oh my God! This is fascinating. I have never seen a double before…I have only seen a vampire in the movies but here you are…” She said, standing up and looking at him in awe…

Odin frowned as she was getting closer as if not a bit afraid of him…

“You are magnificent…” She said, holding her hand closer to t©uçh his face but Odin caught her hand suddenly.

“Oh, don’t think I am a nice man like Ichabod, I am much worse, I can svçkyour blood right on this floor and let you die….” He threatened.

“No you wouldn’t. You need your first bite on the full moon. Without your first bite you can never take any other blood.” Rashidat said proudly, unafraid.

. “If you take my blood, then you risk losing the immortality you so crave…” She said looking at him eye to eye.

Odin knew he had been beaten at his own game but he grinned, “even so, that doesn’t mean I can’t do terrible things to you like this…” he said, digging his nails de-ep into her flesh and Rashidat cried out in pain.

“Now, I hope you will learn better than to un-derestimate me. I need an answer to a question right away.”

“Go to hell!” She shouted back at him, staring at her arm which was now oozing blood.

“Oh believe me I’m in hell. Living in,side another b©dy is hell for me and if you fail to answer me, you know what I can do to you?” He moved closer to her, sniffing b©dy. “I will not hesitate to hypnotize you into telling me everything I need to know.”

Rashidat was quiet.

“Good girl, now, something happened. I changed from Ichabod to myself. Listen carefully, I have more power so I can come out anytime I want, so far that idiot doesn’t get his emotional balanced but ever since you gave him that monogen, I’ve been unable to come out and pl@yanytime I want to.”

“Serves you right.” She stated intentionally but Odin ignored her.

“So he had to use me for a stupid costume p@rty, the girl k!$$£d me and I changed, almost immediately.”

“Oh my God!” Rashidat g@sped, “did anyone see you?”

“Awww..how sweet, that you are so concerned for me.”

“Don’t flatter yourself.” She hissed, “I’m only concerned for Ichabod.”

“So tell me, why did I change?”

She shrugged. “The k!sshad an effect on you I guess.”

“I do not want guesses I want the truth.”

“Well, I guess you are growing weaker…” She said gladly, infuriating Odin so much that he pushed one of the shelves and all her things c@m£ crashing down…

“Oh my God! Works of many years! Are you insane!” She cried, rushing to the broken bottles and the spilled content on the floor.

“I cannot be weak! I have to get rid of this stupid monogen!” He shouted, bringing out the bottle from his inner coat and lifting it up to drop it…

“Don’t!” The lady scre-med, “if you drop it, you will make things worse for Ichabod. If you take more control, he won’t be able to make the lady fall inlove with him which is indirectly you and if that happens, there won’t be the blood-spill for the full moon. You need him to be with this lady!”

Ichabod grunted, knowing she was right. “Damn that bloody witch for turning me against myself!” He shouted. “I shall be back!” He said and disappeared in the blink of an eye….

Cursed For A 1000 Years

Chapter 18

Harmony stared and opened her eyes as the sun rays hit her eyes throu-gh the opened curtain. She climbe-d down from the be-d, wore her sli-ppers and walked blindly out of the room but she bec@m£ wi-de awake when she saw a shi-tless Ichabod walking out of his room as well.

They both ran into each other in the middle of the p@ssage and st©pped, looking at each other in shock. All of a sudden, she remembered the robe she was wearing would probably be showing off her cle-vages so she cleared her throat and covered her che-st with her hands…

“Goodmorning.” Ichabod managed to say, looking away.

“Morning.” She replied feeling uncomfortable and looking away as well.

“I needed a cup of water.” He said even though he had no reason to tell her.

“Okay, I just wanted to drink something myself.” She replied and they both nodded at the same time but neither made a move . Harmony could feel her heart beating so fast as she tried not to stare at the shi-tless man in front of her. Muscles rippled from every p@rt of his b©dy and her hands were scre-ming to t©uçh his che-st which was as broad as a barn door…she desperately wanted to move but her legs just bec@m£ complete dead. She needed to apologize for what happened on the previous night.

. She had alre-ady memorized it so well and it shouldn’t be a problem but now, her ton-gue was tied, why did he choose to be shi-tless this morning of all mornings?

Ichabod, on the other hand, was waiting for the right way of apologizing for what happened the previous night. He needed to come up with a reason on why he had run off like that but he couldn’t think of one. Damned Odin!

“Urm…!” They both started at the same time then st©pped.

“You wanted to say something?” Harmony asked, feeling h0t all over.

“No, I guess, ladies first,” Ichabod replied.

Harmony chuckled, “um, well, I am…”

“Ichabod!”

They both turned to see Tracy who had just come out of her room and was running to hvg Ichabod.

“Oh hey sweetie.” Harmony said, brushing her daughter’s hair.

“How are you doing little lady?” Ichabod asked.

“You are the best Ichabod. I had so much fun last night.” The girl said.

“Yes, I did too.” He replied, then Tracy hvgged her mother.

“Did you sleep well, honey?”

“Yes mum, I did.” She replied with a smile.

“Go and get re-ady to take your birth. Tanya will be here soon.”

Tracy nodded and waved at Ichabod before going to her room.

“You are her favorite person now.” Harmony said as they were now walking towards the bar together.

“Yea,” Ichabod replied with a chuckle.

“I owe you an apology, Ichabod.” She managed to say finally, and he st©pped.

“Last night was something that means so much to me and I got caught up in the moment, I am sorry for trying to k!ssyou and…”

“It’s okay.” He said immediately.

“No, I need to..”

“It’s okay Harmony. I’m sorry I left like that.”

Okay, wait a minute, did he just apologize for not k!ss!ngher back? She hoped he would say more but instead, he kept quiet.

Harmony’s POV

Minutes later, I was sitting at the same sp©t we had sat the previous night but now with a considerable amount of space between us. I had poured myself a drink but he was standing beside the fridge, gulping down a bottle of water. I still couldn’t shake the awkward feeling off of me. Why did he apologise for leaving like that? Had he wanted to k!ssme back as well?

I knew he wasn’t looking at me but while I took my drink, I couldn’t help but check him out with the corner of my eye. Oh dear lord, this man is so fine it makes me h0t all over.

I wondered if he had a girlfriend cos I could totally picture myself getting n-ked with him, running my hands all over his thick lvstrous hair and…oh, those eyes of his…as blue as the ocean, looking at me with so much gentleness…they were the perfect shades of….Oh cra-p! He was looking at me! I coughed out my drink as I realized and he stood up, walking closer to me and asking me if I was okay.

“Yes, I’m fine, I’m okay.” I lied, while still coughing more. This is what happens when you are having a dirty thought about you and your guard.

“Are you sure you are okay?” He asked me again.

. Now he was so close to me I could feel his warmth, dear Lord. What is my problem?

“Yes, I’m okay but you know one thing?” I started looking straight at him.

“Sure, what?”

“Do you mind, putting on a shi-t?” I managed to say finally.

He nodded without trying to decipher the meaning behind my request.

“I will go do that now.”

“Thank you so much,” I replied and just as he turned and was leaving,

“Oh, so now you are getting n-ked in front of my child’s mother?”

I looked at the front and was surprised to see Michael. I was so angry, I stood up. He hadn’t even bothered to knock.

“What the hell do you want here Michael?” I demanded, walking to him while ignoring the two guards that c@m£ with him, I so hated this man.

“Baby! My child leaves here, I can come anytime I want.” He replied.

“Oh hell no, you cannot else I will get a restraining order for you! This is a tresp@ss! You cannot come to my house unannounced!”

He wasn’t looking at me, instead, he was looking at Ichabod who had turned and was looking at him too.

“I do not approve of this nons-en-se you both are doing Harmony. You can sleep with any man you want, but you have no right to bring him to this house where my child lives.”

“You have no right to tell me what I can and cannot do Michael and it is no business of yours whom I chose to sleep with!” I shouted back, I was boiling so fast.

**

Ichabods POV

I didn’t want any trouble, so I decided to excuse myself.

“I’m not done with you, eh, white man!” He said, signaling to his two dogs to st©p me. They both prevented me from going into the room so I waited.

“I do not trust you, white man!” He said to me.

“That is none of my problems,” I replied to him as calmly as i could and he laughed.

“Well, you are right, it is my problem. Do you know what else my problem is?” He asked, coming all over my face.

“I hate it when someone is trying to pretend to be me. You are not her father! You will never be! I am her father, If I do not show up at a childish event, I am still her father. My blood runs in her vein. Don’t ever try to replace me again, do you un-derstand me?”

“Shut up Michael and leave!” Harmony shouted.

This man kept looking at me but I tried to turn to go back to my room, still, he pu-ll-ed me back with his hand.

“What are you doing?” Harmony scre-med.

“Stay away Harmony, I need him to answer me why he went to do the $h!t he did at the school, now everyone is talking, saying how much of a weakling I am as a father because of this idiot!”

“Well, they didn’t lie did they?” I asked in a low tone and his hand sh0t out, sl@pping me across my face.

Harmony scre-med and rushed to me, “oh my God, are you okay?” She asked and I nodded, then she went all over him, fighting him and pushing him.

“Leave my house this minute you idiot!”

“If you are not careful, I will sue for the sole custody of that child, you know I will win!” Michael threatened Harmony and just as he was about to leave, he said to me, “white man, I will find out your secret, and if I do, you better pray to God I don’t find something bad about you!”

With this, he left with his goons and Harmony rushed to hvg me. “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.” She cried.
