CATALINA

I was discharged early. The nurses all said I was good to go then they stood by the counter with all their teeth, saying goodbye to me with a very wide grin.

I waved back and awkwardly smiled back.

Immediately I was out through the glass doors of the hospital, I increased my pace, briskly walking into William’s car. I climbed into the back seat, shut the door and peered outside.

For a good while, I thought they would all troupe outside and run after me with dead faces and green vein

  • DEATH BE MY LOVER    A Foreboding Feeling of Death

    CATALINA TOMORROW FRAR ESTATE 12NOONWilliam parked his car in the gigantic lot of the Frar Estate. We alighted. He came around to stand next to me, his gaze was fixed on the troupe in front of us. I looked at him. He didn't even notice when I did. I turned to watch the troupe, they were just a group of figure skaters in their National uniform. Nothing special about that, but William was staring intently.I pouted, feeling ignored. I slipped my hand into his arm and pulled him. He didn't move an inch but he looked at me. “If you come with a partner, you have to stay close to them. It's proper etiquette.” I instructed, marching off and attempting to drag him along.He followed.He actually followed. We strolled into the vast courtyard of the Frars. William was still looking at the figure skaters.”“Beautiful aren't they?” I tried to start a conversation.William didn't reply.“They are here to congratulate their greatest sponsor, Congressman Blaire Frar, the second richest man

  • DEATH BE MY LOVER    The Birthday Party Plan

    CATALINA “Uh… I just took a wild guess.” I said, spinning around to face him. I quickly put on a practiced smile and even flashed my innocent eyes at him.William took one long look at me and then sighed, drifting his gaze back to the books around him. “I don't know which one's funnier; that you thought that you can actually deceive me or that you presume I will be fooled by that smile.”My grin turned upside down. I pursed my lips, feeling like a guilty child caught in her own act.“I will not probe any further. You have the freedom to keep secrets after all.” He finalized before he went completely quiet. I watched him return to his books and forget my existence. I stepped back and plopped down on the couch, noisily enough for anyone to glance at least.William was unbothered. He was giving me the silent treatment again. I heaved, crossed my legs and picked at my nails while staring at them.‘He said I could keep secrets right? Then why is he being so cold? He is treating me li

I waved back and awkwardly smiled back. Immediately I was out through the glass doors of the hospital, I increased my pace, briskly walking into William’s car. I climbed into the back seat, shut the door and peered outside. For a good while, I thought they would all troupe outside and run after me with dead faces and green veins like zombies. They didn't, thankfully.I drew out a sharp exhale, throwing myself on the seat. At least it's not the end of the world yet. I sank into that comfy seat and rested my head against it while I stared outside. William should be out any moment. He said he would only be there for a minute. It's already three minutes. I pursed my lips, suppressing that sudden urge to laugh. Of course he didn't actually mean one minute but still I kinda thought maybe the reaper would be honest to

  • DEATH BE MY LOVER    JUST LENDING A HAND

    WILLIAM I eyed him but he wasn't looking at me. He was looking at the nurses. “Calm down, he won't hurt you.” He said softly. The women were still scared of their mind nevertheless.Charles held up a warm before he raised his hand and gestured to the door. “You didn't see anything. You were never here, understood.”The women's eyes glowed with yellow light. They eased away from the wall, fixed their clothes and left quietly.I turned away to face Catalina. She was sleeping, a bandage wrapped around her forehead. Unlike them in the hallway, she looked more alive now. Well, strands of her hair still looked—I went around to her headside and stroked her hair back, revealing a thin, weak and pale blonde strand hidden underneath. ‘Is her hair not black?’“William can you not care even a little about humans. Are you that incapable? You know it doesn't matter if you are incapable, you still have to care.” Charles scoldedI rolled my eyes. So he was still in the room, I forgot already. I

  • DEATH BE MY LOVER    The Aftermath

    WILLIAM The backup generator of the hospital kicked in before I got to the door. The lights filled the hallway, coming on one at a a time like a ou countdown.I watched as the lights poured over Catalina and continued to go down. She was lying unmoving, on the floor with her face up and her hair scattered underneath her. I heaved.Unpredictable outcomes, I hate them the most. But what I really hate more is how humans are so good at causing them; even when they are dead, they still act the same. I pinched the bridge of my noise and heaved again. Human beings are such a headache. I started slowly, strolling down the hall, with my hands behind me and my gaze on Catalina. At the same time, I watched for any sign of the ghoul.I found nothing. I stroked my chin. Seems the wraiths must have taken her. ‘Tsk.’ I clicked my tongue. What was she thinking trying to steal a living host? Did she really think she'd be allowed to defy the laws of death?What an idiot. She should have just

  • DEATH BE MY LOVER    HER FIRST WISH

    WILLIAM A FEW HOURS AGO “Is there a problem?” She asked me.“No.” I lied. “I don't think there should be. You wanted to go somewhere right?” I changed the topic. “Oh yes.” she answered, remembering. Quickly she packed up the little multi-colored sticky notes on her table. She'd been writing on them this whole time. I watched her as she held the papers against her chest and swayed towards the door with a hop in her step.Is she… excited?I pinched the bridge of my nose and heaved a sigh.Nothing had happened since we came here so why would she be in such a good mood. It made no sense. But then again, since I met her, I've only been able to comprehend her motivations half the time. “Strange human.” I muttered, pushing my chair back and standing up. Her weirdness was the least of my concerns right now.I strolled to the glass overlooking the city and I stood there. The streets were bustling, as it always did at this hour. Humans, like tiny moving toys, wandered from place to place

  • DEATH BE MY LOVER    IT WASN'T A DREAM

    CATALINA “Ma’am are you sure you don't need a glass of water or to sit down?” The maid asked me for the umpteenth time while examining my face with pity in her eyes. “No. I said no.” I shooed her away. “Okay,” she withdrew. “It's just… you drank so much, I just don't want you overreacting again.

  • DEATH BE MY LOVER    A CRAZY DREAM

    CATALINA “Security!!! Security!!!” I screamed. He stood absolutely still, he had that look in his eyes, the kind you give someone who is being an idiot.“They won't hear you. No one will hear you.”He took a step. I edged back, my grip tightening on the capstone. “Look dude, I don't know who you t

    CATALINA JULY 25I tapped endlessly on my leg, my head lowered and my eyes staring at the floor. I was waiting to hear my name. There was no queue today at the hospital, so why was the doctor taking too long?Unconsciously, I put a finger in-between my teeth and bit down until it was going to blee

    CATALINA William flung his hand away as fast as he could. The shock ceased the instant we stopped touching. I wrapped my other hand around my wrist and groaned. My expression contorted because of the spasms of pain. It was like I had been scalded but there were no scars.William hissed. He sounded
