Dark Cravings

This doesn't mean goodbye

                                                                                  Seraphis's POV

3 weeks ago...

"How is she?"- Tarik asked as soon as I entered the kitchen. His voice was cold and I could notice he was still in shock. How couldn't he? He almost lost one of his friends. I liked Amber, but I could swear Tarik liked her more, as a friend, I on the other side had other intentions. 

"She's still taking a bath, but I guess I could say she's not that worse."- I replied. I was still in shock myself, and I must admit I regretted that I didn't kiss her. My whole body and even my mind were screaming at me to go take her to bad, cuddle and kiss. But I was resisting, it wasn't the time for this bullshit. 

"She almost died. And the worst thing about escaping death is that she is going to remember all of it for the rest of her life. The pain will haunt her, and I wouldn't be surprised if she would go mad."- Tarik was so calm while talking I wasn't sure who should I have been more worried about, him or her. He should be yelling at me for not watching over her because if I had she wouldn't have escaped and been almost dead minutes later. Yet, he wasn't yelling, not even judging me, and most importantly he didn't ask to go and see how she was doing. What was happening to us? Was he that disappointed in me that he wouldn't waste his energy and anger on me? 

"She said that it was a girl who tried to kill her."- I was skipping all the disappointment act and going right to the details because his silence and calmness was a pain in my ass and I didn't wanna deal with Tarik now, I should be dedicating my time to finding the brave dead-gonna-be girl who tried to kill my little annoying bella. 

"A girl? What girl? Are you sure it was a girl, I mean is she sure?" - I finally caught Tarik's attention and he was trying to comprehend the information I just told him but wasn't succeeding at doing so because his thoughts were all over the place. Of course, they would be because none of us would have thought it would have been a girl. Don't get me wrong, in our world girls were almost as powerful as other Gods, none were as powerful as me though so if it was a girl from my world she wouldn't stand a chance against me. 

"Yes, and we should find her as soon as possible, my inner beast is hungry and in a mood to torture and kill not only the girl but also her family. Basically, all her current bloodline and future bloodline if there will be any. I don't give a fuck even if there are any babies in the family. I'll simply murder everyone she has, and loves, including a boyfriend, friends, and maybe if I'm not bored I might even kill the family of her boyfriend and friends. And even friends of friends. Tarik is it okay if I just kill every breathing pathetic human on the Earth?" - I wasn't kidding, I would murder everyone and I couldn't care less. I would spare my car repairer and a few cooks and coffee makers so I wouldn't have to take care of my baby cars and my stomach by myself, but that would be it. 

"We'll figure it out. I know someone who might help if you don't get all murderous and savage on her."- he responded.

"Another her? Great. Who is it?"- I was mad that Tarik knew someone and I knew nothing about this, but anyway, as I said there were more important things that I should be dealing with rather than starting a fight with him who didn't tell his best friend that he knew a girl. Maybe that's who he's been seeing that he's barely been at home since the last month. At least I was happy he was hitting some. 

"You'll meet her yourself, tomorrow first thing in the morning. But Seraphis..."- I didn't like the sound of what was going to come after the "but",- Amber is leaving and you're not seeing her again." - what did I just hear? Did I hear it right? Maybe it was a joke but sure as hell it didn't sound like one.

"Excuse me?"- I replyed in confusion.

"As I said earlier, death is going to haunt her. This happened because we brought her into our world. She isn't safe, she should be going back to her old life, not only to help herself heal after everything that happened, including having to deal with you but also to be safe because around us she is just a target." - he was right about everything, but I wasn't about to let her go. She was safe with me not alone out there. I wouldn't let her go, and Tarik knew, he just wanted to start a fight apparently. 

"Absolutely not. This must be a joke because you already know that I'm not letting her go. How is she safer out there than with me? I can protect her, you know damn well I can and I will."-I was basically shouting and my powers were about to show up to remind Tarik what I was capable of and what would happen if he got me angry.

"Did you protect her today? You are a childish, reckless, egocentric maniac who only cares about himself and screwing girls. So don't tell me you can protect her because as powerful as you might be your selfishness will never allow you. She's leaving and that's final. Deal with it or I'll deal with you."- He shouted back and as much as I didn't want to admit it his words hurt. I cared about him and her too. If I only cared about myself she would have been dead long ago. But he was right about being reckless, I was. And maybe he was right, she had to leave.

"Fine, but if anything happens to her that's on you my friend."- I wasn't even looking him in the eyes while I was talking and I knew this was a mistake, but it would all be on him and he would suffer the consequences. 

"I'll keep an eye on her, always. Meanwhile after we tell her, we'll start looking for the murderer and...

"Tell me what?"- Amber showed out of nowhere and interrupted Tarik

"You need to leave."- I got straight to the point because there was no need sugarcoating it.

"Excuse me?"- She was confused and hurt. I hate to tell her this, especially after what she just went through but Tarik was right, she should forget about us and live on with her life, away from all the death my world brings, the death I bring. 

"After today I don't want you here. Not only are you a burden but because of your wish to escape and your almost-death I activated one of my powers and my father might as well track me and find me. You put me and Tarik at risk. I should have killed you long ago, but I am giving you a chance to live. And what's with the confusion, this all happened because you were so eager to leave and now you are. So go pack your things and be on your way."- I didn't need to tell her all that, she wasn't a burden and yes my father could track me now but I couldn't care less. All I cared about was finding the bitch who dared to do this. Plus, I didn't want her to be mad at Tarik,she hated me already so it was better if she thought I was the bad guy. She was just standing there looking me in the eyes while my words were cutting her like a knife. Then, she ran away and I could hear her cry in her room. Apparently, she was strong enough to not let us see any weaknesses. My fierce angel. One day we would meet again, this doesn't mean goodbye.
