LOVE AND DARK

1. Agreement

Loretta removed the veil from her face. The sun shone in her face but hardly affected the pale skin. "She is there", the voice came softly into Loretta's auricle, it turned slowly and a little laboriously, based on the hot sunbeams. Her eyes met the young fellow in the middle of the crowd. "Let him live. His name is Pedro," Ling walked next to Loretta. She looked briefly at Pedro, who was startled trying to avoid eye contact. "Yes, the long black straight hair, it shines so seductively in the sun, swings back and forth. And the eyes, not blue like the sea, not green like the flat grass, not brown like the stiff and old trees. You are black and deep and if not, they are red as blood, it will be the last red one has ever seen ... ", Ling looked down at Pedro who looked frightened at the floor:" Do you often look after her when you do you see pedro?"Pedro nodded softly. Ling put his pale arm on Pedro's shoulder as well as Loretta, and looked at him coolly:" You know, I checked her too often ... "" And then? ... ", Pedro twitched, trembled. Loretta smiled briefly and watched Ling talking to Pedro. "My desire, curiosity was too great, you understand? I shouldn't feel anymore ... not like that ... ", Ling let his arm away from him, bent down a little and looked at him with his intensely bloody eyes:" I had too little loyalty to my Lord ... it took away my ability to love , to hate, I only live on the little life energy that it gives me ... and the worst ... ", Ling grabbed Pedro's face:" I can't die young man. "Loretta lifted her left hand slightly and pulled the bow that was on her collar." All right, mistress ... I'm hurrying ... ", Ling's face darkened so that hardly anything could be seen of him:" I know, you doesn't like to wait ... "Ling let go of Pedro, who immediately ran through the crowd and tried to escape."Run ...", Ling took Loretta's hand and led her up the stairs: "But if we were really after you you couldn't run anymore." Loretta looked at Ling and clenched her other hand tightly. Ling gasped briefly and fell to his knees: "I know mistress, I know ... if only I could at least feel the pain she was inflicting on me ..." Loretta looked into the sun and raised the hand she had previously clenched. "It's too early ..." Loretta nodded and put her hand down. "Welcome Lady Loretta!", Régis waved to her to come in: "Shall I send someone to help you up the stairs?" Loretta closed her eyes and let go of Ling's hands. Around her, an impenetrable shadow obliterated the surroundings and air as she floated up the stairs in steps. "Oh, I understand ...", Régis leaned against the huge walls until Loretta had reached the gate. "Can we start?" Régis uttered impatiently. Loretta lifted her dress slightly with her hands and looked down at Ling.Régis couldn't wait: "Will it take a long time? Does he have to be there?" Loretta pulled her lips together and looked at him with a dodgy smile while she released her hands and pulled something. "What are you waving around in the air ...?", Régis began to understand when Ling slammed hard on the stairs. It looked flawless indeed, as if someone had thrown it or pulled it, but no, nothing. Nothing but Loretta's hand movements. Ling propped himself up from the stairs and put his hand on his lips and pulled on them a little until something red completely overflowed his hand. "I'm bleeding ...", Ling had checked it, had to see it first until he understood it, because he couldn't feel or feel anything anymore. He now stood up, wiped his blood on the black suit and looked up. Loretta's gaze was mild and serene. "I'm coming, mistress ...", Ling leaned forward, jumped off one of the stairs and scanned the many others until he reappeared. "I don't understand why it doesn't work like this," complained Régis.Loretta saw Régi's green eyes. "What?" Asked the latter. "The mistress says it has nothing to do with her and she moves on as she likes ..." Régis looked at Ling confused: "One thing I still don't understand, she doesn't say a word, but you always seem to know what she wants . "" I hear her heart ", Ling took Loretta's hand and led her down the corridor:" She doesn't need to say anything. I just know what she wants ... it's ... how should I say ... "Loretta looked at Ling seemingly nice. "Yes, I know ...", Ling led Loretta into a white room. Régis looked after Ling: "That's how the damn Lorettas feel!" "Lady Loretta, how nice to see you, what an honor!", A fat, greasy man snatched Loretta's hand and kissed her: "If I may introduce myself, I'm Kefka. Loretta may I offer you my place? "Loretta twisted her lips, she looked angrily at Kefka and pulled her hand away. Ling continued to walk next to Loretta: "She says, you are not allowed to offer anything more!"" Mangy rascal, she can probably answer for herself! ", Kefka breathed on Loretta with his bad breath." Kefka don't make the lady angry! ", the chairman and the other members including Régis arrived in the hall." You don't believe all the crap they tell in the slums, do you? ", Kefka turned back to Loretta." You will have to be responsible for your mistakes ... ", Régis pushed a chair for Loretta to the marble table:" Please ... sit down ... "Loretta took a seat at Régi's chair." Ridiculous all of this Theatre! What kind of contracts do you want to conclude with her, she and her henchmen hardly have anything that we could use for our purposes! "Ling caught Loretta's gaze." Good mistress ... "he just hummed to himself." Did she say something? ", Kefka drew heavily on Loretta:" I haven't heard anything! What bad luck too! "" The mistress says that was the last time she insulted you ... ", Ling walked slowly towards Kefka."What are you going to do? These useless plans with allies against the Terra are getting on my nerves!" Ling continued to walk towards Kefka, slowly and comfortably. Kefka scoffed further: "Why are you all so quiet? Talk!" Steps and steps. Régis closed his eyes. Ling drew his black sword and cut Kefka's neck with one cut. The process was so short that the chairman only really understood what had happened a short time later. "Rest in peace Kefka, may our enemies soon follow you", Régis made a sign of the cross. Ling wiped the blood off the sword and lifted Kefka's head off the floor. "How radical!", One of the members rushed out of the hall and vomited. "He doesn't have a stomach for anything like that," laughed Régis. Loretta folded her hands and looked at the table, amused and satisfied. "A souvenir," said Ling, putting her head in front of Loretta. Loretta smiled. "The mistress says ... she likes it much better that way," Ling sat down next to Loretta.Régis stood up: "Let's start ... Loretta. You have fantastic and unique skills. With your help we can free this planet from the Terra. We want to know what your conditions are!" Loretta looked at the ceiling and moved her neck slightly to the side. Ling basically translated: "She says she wants the rule." "That is impossible!" "The mistress asks why" "These conditions are unacceptable!" "Then the mistress puts a possible condition ..." Régis rightly pulled his tie: "You can own some lands. Demand sums of money ..." Loretta stood up and took Kefka's head and held it up, dripping blood. "My mistress says ... you are unacceptable. She wants to rule. Over everything. Otherwise the Terra will not die but you, the Centra!" "Well, well!", Régis sat down again: "On one condition. You can have this planet if they get us to rule the planet Silver Moon, there is the same problem.Too many terra ... "Loretta rolled her eyes and let Kefka's head fall on the table. The head was splattered with blood, based on the veins that had also burst. Of all the members, Régis was the most intelligent and the only one who could really stand the sight "Loretta assumes ...", Ling took Loretta's hands, which were bloody from Kefka's head. Both stepped out together, back down the stairs. "Disgusting ...! "said the chairman." Yes ... she is perfect ", Régis grinned:" Kefka looks better that way, it's true ... "Loretta veiled her face in the fresh air in front of the sun." As you want ... ", Ling began to lick Loretta's hands from the dirty blood. Régis looked out the window and saw it: "That poor dog. But he doesn't care, he doesn't feel any disgust anymore ... "Loretta kept looking at Ling's tongue and took a deep breath." It couldn't be better, "Ling tried to get Loretta's hands clean with his sleeve.Lifting his chin with her left hand, Loretta brushed Ling's face with her right hand. "Let's go home ... there is water closest ...", Ling took Loretta's right hand, still slightly bloody, and closed his eyes. Both vanished as the shadow embraced them and carried them away.
