That insinuation made him a little disconcerted and, to shorten the conversation, he commented that he was tired and dismissed. Before he walked out the stable door, Sandra implied that instead of trying to find out the truth through others, he should ask the source directly. When he heard that, he was even more upset, and in an attempt to reassure
himself, he decided to stop by the lake and after a while, reflecting on the matter, decided to return. When he entered, he noticed that Smarald was already sitting in the hall, watching television. In protest, he went straight to the room without greeting her. Through this gesture, Smarald knew something was wrong. So she decided to find out, to try to help him. When she entered in her room, she asked what was going on?– Nothing – answered he coldly.
– Impossible – insisted Smarald, – I know you. What is happening? &nbsAs much as Smarald wanted to get around the situation, it didn'twork. What excuse would she give if she was hurt? While Michaeltreated her, passing the product to disinfect her wound and then puttinga protector on it, it was visible in his small gestures the love andaffection he felt for her person, but there was something beyond thosefeelings. Something he had never felt before; it was as if his spirit waspurer and full of light, it was super comforting, but that sensation onlylasted a few minutes and as soon as it disappeared, Smarald felt herwound heal. Fortunately, she had the bandage on and Michalel couldn'tsee it. After returning to her room, Smarald thought about what mighthave happened and had several suspicions that it might have caused it toweaken and a slight hunch that the wound had been left open longer. Totry to decipher the mystery, she called
The next day, the relationship between Michael and Smaraldshowed a strong affinity for sharing a happiness that was visible toeveryone. The feelings that both possessed radiated through the look,the way they spoke and even in small gestures. It was a very specialmoment, when both were discovering small details; those that arediscovered when the flame of passion is ignited. Together they decidedto enjoy this first great day, in a private meeting, away from the farmand the work environment, because they wanted to enjoy every minutein a different place, preferably where they had never been. The twochose to take a short trip to the “Grand Canyon of Texas”. Michael informed all the employees and their representatives thathe was going to take a day off and that he did not want to be botheredwith work matters. Then, as he had previously agreed with Smarald,just in time, he we
Throughout the week, Leonor found nothing new about Michael,but had the opportunity to meet in person Sandra, who was a witch and,by photo, a werewolf, the same as her vision. It was amazing howSmarald could relate to them, for they were mystical beings who foughtfor good, quite contrary to their ideology that served the forces of evil,Leonor thought. The fact is that, long ago, when Smarald still did notshare the duties with Vlad, she implied that vampires should know howto live with the opposite side, as long as they did not prevent them fromaccomplishing their missions. But something did not fit. It was whenthere was a new premonition, in which both the witch and the werewolfhelped rescue Smarald from something. These visions of her made hermore intrigued. Why would good help evil? thought the vampire. On the last day, before revealing ever
The next day, the rain had ceased, and Michael decided to return tothe place, where he saw his beloved eating that animal. When he arrivedat the exact spot, he had another surprise: upon a closer look, he foundseveral dead animals and this made him more intrigued, for if she hadbeen a cannibal she would have eaten them, which did not happen.After analyzing them in detail, he found that they all had the same scar,and there was no trace of blood in the place, nor in the earth, nor in thebushes. Then he decided that the rain might have washed the foliage oreven the ground, making the bloodstains disappear, but inside theanimal it had to contain something. So he was checking it out. With thetip of a knife, Michael pierced some of them and found no drop ofblood; it was as if the animals were dry. His head kept thinking andspinning. Those marks and that kind of killing were worthy of apredator.
Michael knew it would not be easy, for at the beginning of theirrelationship Smarald had tried to hide his feelings, perhaps out of fear,but he did not give up and so succeeded in having her by his side. Theproblem was that it was now something supernatural and maybe shewouldn't react the same way. After so much thought, he came to theconclusion that it would be best to show his love with deeds, and onlythen might he get his beloved to trust him. The first occasion was when a friend of his was experiencingfinancial and health problems due to a car accident and had to amputatea leg and stop working as a rodeo pedestrian. Through this opportunity,he demonstrated to Smarald that, regardless of appearance, he remainedhis friend. What really mattered was that friendship, besides being true,was sincere and honest. Smarald, seeing him worrying about that frie
As they began walking on that carpet of flowers, a beautiful songbegan to play, which was called "Elysium and belonged to an Elysiamusical band." When both arrived at the table where the priestess wasto receive them, it was the turn of Michael and Smarald to enter,because, according to tradition the groomsmen, entered after the brideand groom, holding in their hands symbolic gifts to bring good fluids;both wore light green clothes to distinguish them from the betrothed.The gifts, which the groomsmen carried, were: loaves to make anapology by force of the earth, scented water to send to the water,incense sticks to the air and a candle lit to the fire, thus bringing thefour to the ceremony, the four key elements of nature. The ceremonywas precious, lasted almost an hour, and as it was about to end, thepriestess gave the blessing by telling the bride and groom that they wereunited by the p
While Smarald took care of the task Michel had assigned her,he had already arrived at the hospital, and unfortunately the news wasnot good; "His father had passed away." According to the doctor, sometime ago his father had already had a heart attack, but after reviving andmedicating him, he could lead a normal life. – Unfortunately, yesterday did not happen the same thing, because,after struggling, when we tried to revive him, your father did not reactthe same way and we had to transfer him to the hospital through amobile ICU and, as soon as the vehicle entered at the health center, yourfather could not resist, giving his last breaths – explained the doctor. After receiving all the medical records from the hospital and thedetailed explanation from the medical staff who attended him, Michaelcalled in the insurance, which took care of the coffin and the transportof his
A month passed, and Leonor's efforts to try to help her were futile,because Smarald had not changed her attitude; on the contrary, sheseemed to be increasingly distant, as if her thoughts were elsewhere.There were times when her gaze seemed lost, as if she had memories ofpast times. Indeed, Leonor's perception was not misguided, Smaraldkept thinking about Michael and, through her thoughts, rememberedcertain unforgettable moments, when they almost kissed in the pool, thefirst kiss, when they took the first walk alone, when he bandaged herhand and when she was resurrected through the powers of her belovedand finally when she learned of the sad reality that her love was anArchangel. Whenever Smarald reflected on this, it was as if gradually herimmortality was being consumed. She was totally distressed, notknowing what to do; she felt helpless in the face of such a situa
