My Arcane Muse

The lack of blood sufficiency

Where Sofia drastically changed the topic of their chatting into something else to cheer their mood leaving that discussion about Eugene's new job and his new boss as it was depressing them too much while in the empty house without having anyone to bother her any longer Eugene's boss, Ena Lawrence, the greatest songwriter was more focused on writing the lyrics for her upcoming albums where at a certain point she placed down her pen with a sigh and began to wonder resting her face on the palm of her hand while rolling her pen here to there with the tips of her long fingers and spacing out being aloof where her those mesmerizing eyes were overshadowing with melancholic air beside drowning in the dullness. "Hmm…why it seems like something is missing???" 

"Am I missing that pipsqueak???", she gulped when the thought crossed her mind out of the blue flashing the images of dazzling Eugene. 

"No, never what am I thinking???", she exclaimed out while tossing away the pen agitatedly and then frustratedly rubbing her forehead fuming in annoyance where the next moment she wondered staring at the ceiling depressingly while resting her back tiredly on the slat of her chair but her eyes were sinking in untold despair, "But it's way better for him to stay away from me otherwise end of the day I would again…", she shut her eyes where a shadow of regret overtook her charming face and she ended up frustratedly resting her head on the table as if her soul was flying out lifelessly, "I should just let it go."

She immediately jumped to sit upright shaking her head off with a tired sigh pouring out all her stress while pinching her fingers, "Things are getting harder than I thought. I fear sooner or later everything will be out of control. I shouldn't have kept that brat at the first place. I should have just made him flee away the moment he first came in for the job. Then I wouldn't have to drown in this uncertainty. I made a huge mistake. For that stupid bet, I just took in someone who I don't want to be part of my life ever... "

"Did that silly brat cause this whole mess deliberately??? Did he intentionally planned Eugene to be my personal assistant only to bring that guy in front of me???", she stroked her jaw fuming in annoyance while drowning in those unanswerable questions popping up in front of her which was somewhat making her sink into an abyss full of concern where the next moment she clenched her forehead with a silent scream full of irritation and distress, "Ah... This is so frustrating... I just want to shoo that human kid away... "

"I better leave this topic for now.", she tried to fix her messy self a bit trying to focus back to her writing again taking up the pen.

But no matter how much she tried she still couldn't pay any attention or gather any proper concentration to focus on her work. 

As a result, she wondered while getting up from the chair tucking a few of her hair that was coming to her face behind her ear, "Coffee…Maybe a cup of coffee could help." 

"I don't know why I have been feeling a bit unusual from a few days.", she who immediately rushed to the kitchen to avoid that suffocation in her room wondered while taking out a mug from one of the kitchen cupboards. 

"Is it because he is here that I am so worried…", she kept thinking while the cup of coffee was being poured. 

"How can that be??? It's so clear that the dummy doesn't clearly know anything or remem… Forget it.", she took a sip from her coffee while being hooked with her thoughts. 

"Moreover, the way I behave with that little puppy… Those cold treatments… And all hurtful words…There is no chance that he would have the tiniest bit of suspect rising in his mind.", she played with her hair continuously being too involved with her thoughts. 

"Have I ran out of blood???", she subconsciously paused playing with her hair and dropped that pile of hair immediately in tension being stuck in her thoughts where her inner self suddenly sweated out in worries. 

"But it hasn't been a while since I had taken a bag of blood.", she took another sip from the coffee prickling her jawline while recollecting the details about her last blood intake from her memories. 

"Hem… Hem…", she ended up coughing out of the blue and encountered that the hand she used to cover her mouth during coughing was covered with blood. 

"En… I spat blood…", she anxiously looked at her hand where her angelic face which was always vital was sinking in the shadows of weakness and it was also drastically changed into something monstrous from her gorgeous goddess-like form as where blood was flowing out of her eyes, her mouth was covered with blood while her smoky quartz brown golden stardust pupils were transformed into ruby red. 

Her hands and whole body were shaking out of the blue the much she took a look at her b****y hand which was gradually making herself unsteady and uncontrollable.

As a result, the coffee mug in her hand was accidentally dropped to the floor where it broke into pieces making loud noises, "Thud… Clang…", while she was trying to deal with her anxiety and frustration of her being in such a situation all of the sudden. 

She covered her mouth worriedly where her eyes widened up and her whole body was trembling while being slowly swallowed by the anxiety where her charming face which was already appearing too horrific was overshadowed by fear.

"Mmm… why did I suddenly…", she was exclaiming out frustratedly but before she could add out more words she puked out a lot of blood while her heart was palpitating out of the blue where her whole body began to tremble in sudden unbearable pain. 

That sudden attack of exquisite pain made her crawling in pain where her body was trembling in weakness.

She clenched her chest where the beats of her throbbing heart were ringing out loudly in her surrounding, "Thumb… Thumb… Thumb…", she took a look at her hand that was covered in blood with the eyes full of defeatism and melancholia while her ruby red pupils were dazzling dull. 

A sudden bullet of pain pierced through her heart making her screamed out in pain where her head was forced to lift up and her fists were clenching her chest as much as tight she could, "Ah…" "Blood… I need blood…", she panted out with heavy huffs while clenching her chest without being able to endure that unbearable pain which was increasing with each second where the pupils of her eyes were getting smaller and smaller. 

She who rushed back to her room somehow dragging her weak body to get her blood bags said out depressingly after searching through the safe she used to store her those emergency blood bags, "The blood has been running out. There is none of them but it never happens. Then why this time???" "Oh s**t!!! How could I be so careless???".

She then came across the memories of her last blood consumption in which she was mentioning, "This is the last blood bag. I will order some more after finishing my work." That piece of memory fragment made her freaked out while her weak body gradually slid down to the ground leaning against the cupboard like the hideous safe she used to keep her emergency blood. 

Unable to consume blood to restore her energy and her usual form, she who was completely drained out fainted falling to the ground making a huge sound, "Thung…" 

At the same time, Eugene who came to talk to her over his resignation walked into the house using the spare key given by her after hearing that sudden loud noise but once he stepped into the house without her permission or acknowledgement after being thrown out by her he immediately regretted his decision where his thoughts were discouraging him to walk into the house and check about the well-being of his witty hot-tempered boss, "What did I just do??? Damn it!!! I just walked into her house without her permission just because of a stupid noise. That harsh missy will definitely put on a show and rebuke me to the hell and then will definitely scale me to death. Because her recent favourite pastime is to bully me and shout at me in vain.”

He sighed distressingly while taking small steps forward while hooking with his thoughts full of Ena’s images, “Such a little cute adorable thing... How can she be so ill-tempered, rude, mean and harsh??? Such a little demon…”

“I sometimes wonder what made her be like that or who forced her to be like that??? My heart isn’t ready to accept the fact that the little missy is someone so unreasonable or cold…”, he was immersed in his thoughts where a sudden concern along with curiosity took over his mind.

But the next moment he shook of his all those messy distressing thoughts with a tired sigh while catching another flow of different ways of thinking to keep himself focused on what he came to do, “Forget it. I will just hand in the key and my registration and immediately will vacate this place. Then that witty little girl and I won't have anything to do with each other or we will never meet or cross one another's life in this lifetime..."
