(First Story)
He turned the key in the lock and opened the door. To his horror he saw that lady sitting there. It was for her he had fled away and had come here all the way from downtown. But, it was too late now. She had found him once again and there was no point running away this time. He had met her on the fateful morning of 24th March. It was love at first sight. The courtship lasted for a month before he was woken up to the disturbing memory of his calling.
He loved her truly and irrevocably. But, he had to leave her. He was not destined for this. And, since then he was hiding from her. But, love makes people do crazy things. She had found him this time too. Sitting on the bed, she looked up at him tearfully with helplessness and pleads in her eyes. They both were tired of running now. He smiled at her with pain and hatred for his actions reflected in his eyes. His time was up and he had to do this or bear heavy consequences.
“Forgive me,” was all what he said and collapsed on the floor. Pain ripping apart his body, he screamed a heavenly shrill. His backbone gave way and out came an enormous black wing unfurling itself. He stood there with radiating skin and a robe flowing through his body.
She looked stunned. He stood there looking at her with pain and sadness in his eyes since he had to do it even when he didn't want to do it. But her death kept following him while she thought it was her love! Angels of death were not supposed to fall in love with their own victims… And there with a flash of light he marked her and took her soul away!
