Falling For A Human

Following

"I told you to find any information you can about her and bring her to me! I don't give a s**t what you think about it! I run this castle not any of you, maggots!" 

My servants cower in fear of my anger. It has been weeks since she ran away from me, and I wanted her now. She didn't know who I was, or what I was for the matter. A change is just what I needed, I couldn't stand to live with the same thing every day much longer. Everything was driving me insane and past the point of my anger. With a new pet, I could release my others. They have been pissing me off more and more and I couldn't handle it anymore. I sent my most stealthy servants out to follow her and to find out anything worth knowing about her. She looked young when I was up close, but who knows anymore. She was also very attractive. Her deep dark brown hair was swept back in a low tie, just enough to keep it out of the way, but still let it down. Her eyes were frantic when I lifted her chin, but they glowed emerald green. Her face showed years of study and farm work, but was the best sight I had ever seen. I was extremely confused with myself as to why I wanted this girl so bad. I wasn't giving up until I figured out why.

I dismissed my men and went to my bed-chamber, wanting a peaceful rest, maybe a girl to keep close as I rest. it was only midmorning and yet here I am, tired of everything already. I sigh, this is really infuriating. I could have any woman I wanted, and for some unfathomable reason, I craved this girl. She was different somehow, but I couldn't tell how.

Korrina bounds up to me, chipper as ever. She smiles, her eyes cast down, and her hands behind her back like a good girl I taught her to be. "May I speak, Master?"

"You already have, I see no point in saying no now." My tone is dull, with underlying anger of her talking out of turn, once again. I needed something fresh instead of this old and used I have now. I am a greedy, needy man, and I must have want I want.

"Would you like a cup of your herbal tea, or perhaps a soothing soak in our hot baths, Master?"

"None of those at the moment, Korrina, just a need to lie down until my men get back at noon."

"Yes, sir."

"Is there anyone else awake yet?"

"Yes, sir, Amily and Undite have awoken for you already."

"Send me Amily, and get out of my sight, for now, you filthy whore." She nods, her smile dropping just slightly. She bows and turns, walking away with those tiny hips shaking. I watch, almost forgetting I wanted something new. Amily returns to me moments later, after I have stripped to my pants. 

"I'm taking a nap until my men are back. I'll be waiting in my bed while you get someone to watch for my men."

She smiles brightly and skips off. I do like Amily, I may keep her a little while longer than the others. She is still quite new, only being here with me for a few months now. Korrina struck my nerves the most, always wanting my attention, though I never give her it anymore. She wanted me to love her and only her,  but that's not who I am. Undite was a bit less aggravating than Korrina, but still more than Amily. She was more boyish than the rest, but loved a good rough night. Amily, she was sweet but innocent even after all I've taught her. The other two were just w****s off the street needing a living space, so I provided, but only on conditions they were more than willing to accept.

I make my way to my bedpost, laying down on my side, waiting for Amily. She returns short of ten minutes, her sleeping dress fitting her nicely. It hugged her waist, but flared enough to hide what she did not think was attractive. I personally though every inch of her was lovable, but love was not for me. I saw her as a mere toy, a usage to my urgent needs when the time called. She was a wife type of girl, and I will not marry. I feel bad for her as I think about it. I will release her soon, along with the others.

"Amily, you want to marry someday, correct?"

She nods softly, and looks down with a sadness filling her eyes.

"Why does such a stupid thing sadden you? It's nothing more than a piece of paper say someone else owns you."

"I'm not sure, but I want to love and be loved, sir."

I let out a grunt, and close my eyes. I pull Amily close and hold her, drifting into a light nap. Dreams of my past flash through my head, angering me in my sleep.

I awake to Undite tapping my shoulder softly. 

"What, what is it?" I snap at her.

"Your men are back, master. Is that all?" She asks me in a sleepy voice.

"Yes, thank you. Amily, away." I smack her plump behind and scoot her away.

She awakes quickly and scuttles out of bed. I follow suit and get out of the warm comfort of my king-sized bed. I dress back into my clothes from earlier, not caring about anything other than the news brought back from my men.

I take the fastest route to the council chambers, slamming the door shut behind me. I strut to my throne and sit down.

"Sir, we have good news, and we have bad news to report to you."

"Get on with it, I may have a longer life span than you mortals, but I do not want to waste it listening to your babble!" My voice raises in volume with each passing second. I'm getting pissed off already with the ignorance in the room.

"Well, with what we could find on the lass, she is around twenty-three, maybe a little younger. She has just traveled here out of her small home town of Etrenia. Why she would do that, we have no clue, sir. But the bad news, that's all the information we could gather. No name, no history, nothing more than a slight age, and where she came from." My servant bows, thinking he did a good job and needed a reward.

"Find out her name! I want to know everything about her!"

I do not know what about her is drawing me to her other than she does not know about me or what I am. I rub the bridge of my nose, stress overtaking me once again. "Just figure out anything more on her you can. She has to have a name. Befriend her, take her by force, I don't care. Find out her name, and report back within the day."

He stands back up, his eyes gazing up to mine, "Yes, sir." His gaze drops, defeated. Only I can win. I am the king of this realm. I shall own what I want when I want it. She will be mine, or no one will see the full extent of their life.

I await nearly till dusk for my men. They had not returned since I sent them back off after the news this afternoon. I sigh at them. They were loyal, but sometimes they lacked in common sense. I turn in my cove and head to my chambers, I needed to change out of these day clothes and into some more comfortable evening wear. I stroll about my chamber room, awaiting my men's return. It has been hours! Why are they not back yet! I let my frustrations take over my control and lash out at anything within sight. I turn and look at the girls in my room. 

"What?!"

"Nothing, sir. We are just concerned about your well being." Korrina spoke. 

"I want you," I point to her, "out. Out of my sight, out of my chamber, my castle, my land, my life! Out!"

"S-sir! I'm sorry..." She turns and runs away, tears streaming behind her. What did it take to teach these girls some f*****g manners? She drove me mad and not even in the best way she could. Where are my men?!

My anger just about gets the best of me again when a sharp knock on my door calms me, but only slightly. 

"What?!" I scream out.

"We have her, sir. She is in the cells waiting on you. She will not give any further information than we had already gathered. She gave less actually."

I rub the bridge of my nose and sigh. I can handle this, she is what is driving me insane in the first place. I need a flight after this, if I can I'll convince her to fly upon my back. Actually, no I'll hold off on scaring her life for now. 

"Thank you, men. Go feast, it is late. You girls as well, feast before I send the rest of you away as I have Korrina." I hear the footsteps of my men retreat, but my girls stand stark still, scared at what I did to their friend. 

"I said go!" Anger laces through my body and into my words. They jump slightly and run, whether to feast or run from me I don't know, nor care. At this point they could all run away, never come back, and I'd be happy. I slip out of my nightclothes and into my signature black cotton button-up, black straight slacks and leave my feet bare. I roll up my sleeves to my elbows and push my dark black hair away from my face. I really need this trimmed, I cannot deal with it in my face anyway. I pull it behind my head and tie it off with a loose ribbon left behind from the girls, no doubt.

---

I slam the door behind me leading to the cells. "I do hope you are unharmed and awake. I would not like to have made a worthless trip down to see you."

There is no reply as I step closer and closer to her cell, the last one in the cell room. I hear her sobbing quietly. 

I stand where I am for a second maybe a minute. Did my men harm her? What did they do to make her cry? Anger boils in me. I stride over to the cell ready to kill all the men who have hurt her before. I stop as I see her. Finally getting to stand in front of her, I see her beauty. Her true beauty. Her hair was a beautiful mess. Her delicate hands were covering her face as she cried. Her body was small and fragile looking, as if I looked too hard she would break. I stood in awe of her, completely taken by her.
