song of a killer
Gavirelle fell to her bed with utter exhaustion. The pillow made a light whiff noise and the springs from the bed groaned at the impact. Gavirelle looked at the clock. 2:16 am. No matter how long her day had been, she could never fall asleep before 4. Her black lab orion jumped onto the bed next to her and covered her face in slobbery kisses.
"Orion... Your breath is horrid, I didn't ask for this."
Orion stopped and perked his ears and tilted his head to the side.
"have I offended you? Forgive me, king Orion. Please, proceed!"
Orion huffed and let out a tiny WOOF, then proceeded to lay his head down and pout. Gavirelle let out a small chuckle and proceeded to pet him. Playing with his silky, floppy ears. She reached for her headphones and covered her ears. She began to play her song. The song that was made for her. She felt the beat tingle in her fingers and the lyrics tugged at her heart. The man's voice was almost haunted, but she found it to be astonishing. The song was thousand mile wish, by finger eleven. She wondered what her soulmate looked like. She thought about what their voice would sound like, or the color of their eyes. Ever since she became old enough to learn that everyone was born to a song, and another soul was born to that same song... She couldn't stop thinking about it. She had met so many wonderful people, sometimes she felt that she maybe even could learn to love them. But, she always stopped herself. She wanted her first love, to be with the other half of herself. It made the most sense. So, she had never been kissed. Never been held, she never let herself look into anyone's eyes for too long. She wanted that one moment, to be everlasting.
Gavirelle had started to drift to sleep, until Orion shot up and began to growl. She pulled off her headphones and turned down her music. Her heart started to race as she heard footsteps in her kitchen. The air was thick with tension, and she felt her entire body start to amp up. She reached into her bedside table, and retrieved a colt 45. She motioned for Orion to get into his crate, but he stood in front of her staying alert and protective. She stood where she was. Waiting. The footsteps stayed quiet, but she could hear them coming up the stairs.
She took an aiming stance, and held steady. Her heart was in her throat and she was sweating like a crackhead going through withdrawals. Suddenly the footsteps stopped and she heard the lyrics
"Cuz laughing lovers, can overcome their closest demons"
Gavirelle's heart froze. Her song. That was her song. The footsteps started again followed by a very quiet humming of the song. Suddenly a figured appeared before her, and just as soon as it was there, it was flinching in fear.
"Oh my god! What the fuck! WHOA! WHOA!! Don't shoot!"
The figured crouched in a cowardly fashion and dropped what appeared to be a knife. Their face was covered in a black mask, but their frame was that of an hour Glass and their voice was delicate and soothing. It was a woman. Gavirelle felt dizzy and wild with panic.
"Who are you? What in the hell are you doing in my house! Th- the song... Why are you singing that song?!
"look, if you're gonna kill me, make it quick. I throw up when I'm nervous and I'd rather not puke right now."
A joke. This intruder was making a joke! Gavirelle felt her face grow hot. She wanted answers.
"Who the fuck are you?! I am counting to 5 and on three I am gonna blow your knee cap into the next century."
"Jesus! Fuck! Ok ok! My name is Maven! I was sent here to... Uh... Kill you. But I CLEARLY brought a knife to a gun fight, and regret life, so if you dont mind.."
With that Maven threw her knife and it whizzed right past gavirelle. She stood in a firm stance still and looked at Maven with shock and wide eyes. Kill her? Who the hell wanted her dead?
"Did you just throw your knife at me?!"
"Would you believe me, if I said I didn't mean to?" Maven fell into a backwards roll and started to make a run for it.
Orion took off, barking and bearing his teeth. Gavirelle put the colt in the waist of her pants and took of running. She heard Maven cursing all the way down the stairs.
" FuckfuckFUCK!"
Orion quickly caught the intruder and sunk his teeth into their ankle.
"FUCK!! OK OK!! I surrender! Get cujo off of me!!"
"Orion, no! Let go!"
Orion let go, but sat growling waiting to attack again.
"Holy shit.. thank you. Is my ankle gone? Be honest."
Gavirelle looked at the intruder astounded. Still making jokes. Damn it, she kept wanting to smile. What was wrong with her.
"Look, i am gonna ask you this one more time..."
"I told you my name and why I am here! What do you want? My wallet? Pfft jokes on you, cuz I am broke pal."
"Who sent you? Who wants me dead?"
"I am not at liberty to say. But I feel like, maybe anyone who has met you might want you dead."
The intruder slowly started to stand and then giggle.
"Are you laughing? Why are you laughing!?"
The intruder turned to gavirelle and took the mask off to reveal the most stunning woman she had ever seen. Soft, features. Full lips and very bright electric blue eyes.
"Your face is priceless, do you have any thing to drink?"
"What? You want me to give you something to drink? Are you out of your fucking mind! You just snuck into my house to KILL ME!"
"Touchy. Sheesh. Look, if I really wanted to kill you, don't you think I would have done so by now? And your beast BIT ME. I could sue, ya know."
Gavirelle felt her entire face fluster. She couldn't stop thinking about how pretty this crazy girl was, but also wanted more answers.
"You've got to be kidding me. First of all, I am not a soup kitchen, so no, you cannot have a drink. Secondly, your broke into MY HOUSE... I should be the one calling the police."
"Well? Why don't you? .... Oh right.... Because of the song. I must say, I wasn't expecting.. someone like you to be my soulmate. You're kinda too jumpy for me."
Maven went and plopped down on the couch and put her feet up on the coffee table. She grabbed a pillow and sniffed it.
"I will say, you smell good."
"This cannot be happening right now. WHY?! this isn't supposed to happen like this!"
Gavirelle sat on the floor and rocked back and forth. She was in sheer dismay. Finding her soulmate was supposed to be this magic moment. She felt tears start to swell in her eyes.
"Hey... Are you crying? Fuck. It's ok."
Maven slowly walked to gavirelle and sat next to her. Without hesitation she put an arm around her and crushed her in a side hug. She sat as still as possible and let the stranger she was supposed to kill cry all over her shirt. Without even thinking, she started to sing their song. Gavirelle sat and listened, letting her tears dry and her heart calm down. Mavens voice was sweet and quiet, and slightly off key.
"Th-thanks. You didn't have to do that. I'm ok."
"Clearly... You were not. And uh, don't mention it. Ever."
Maven stood up quickly and went to leave.
"Hey wait! Why, did you do that for me?"
Maven stopped and without turning around sighed deeply.
"Because, I've been waiting my whole life to meet you... And I have already hurt you. I do that, you know. Hurt people on accident."
Gavirelle went to move to Maven, but she ran out the door into the early morning. How was it possible that gavirelle's soulmate, was potentially a murder? How was it, that she wanted to know all about her despite those facts. Her chest felt like it was buzzing. She quickly put shoes on and ran out the door with Orion. Killer or not, she had to know more about her.
