Irezlie Read online

“I’m so sorry

  my precious knight.”

  He kept his eyes shut,

  and his head.

  barring his throat.

  “How am I

  your knight?

  What are you sorry for?”

  His voice was light,

  underneath lay layers

  of steely ice.

  Her seductive voice

  answered,

  “You wear a suit,

  made of the finest material.

  Your suit is an armour

  just of its own kind.”

  His hand clenched

  on his sword,

  hidden beneath a silky clothe,

  on the bench.

  He knew her eyes

  would trap him if

  he looked at them.

  He’d have to

  fight this battle blind.

  If lucky

  he’d kill her on the

  first strike.

  She walked to the man

  she knew he would

  open his eyes.

  The curse would thrust

  seductive thoughts

  into his mind.

  They opened,

  but did not look at her face.

  He looked at her feet.

  His eyes were dark,

  and glinted with a

  strange light.

  The sword warmed

  in his hand.

  He tightened his hold.

  Grimly, he smiled.

  The sword knew where it belonged.

  It was a

  smart sword.

  She knew,

  by the end

  of this

  she’d no

  longer be savable.

  She lunged.

  She would kill him quickly,

  it was the least she could do.

  He heard

  the air move in front of him,

  as she came for him.

  He lifted the sword

  and shoved

  forward.

  The blade

  sunk

  all

  the

  way

  through her

  body killing her

  and

  yet

  he

  felt

  pain.

  Death surrounds her.

  It holds her close.

  Energy closes around her.

  Shadows change to light.

  Part Four

  Ending two

  The Curse the Binds Her

  Caring not a bit

  Adoring humans

  Never Understand

  She always felt its call

  Had to do as it demanded

  Enclosing her to do its wishes

  Listening to their cries

  Or their shouts of joy

  Vying for her attention

  Eagerly coming to their deaths

  Maybe she could find it

  Yet the curse made that impossible

  Knowing fully

  Night after night

  Ice hung in the air

  Giving her

  Heart

  Trembling pain

  Purely she was

  Royalty of some kind

  Every night he

  Thought of her

  There was never another woman since his wife

  Yet she called to him like no other

  Carefully he waited

  Random thoughts circled him

  Each different in every other way

  Allowing some

  To come

  Understanding the importance

  Raging through him

  Evadable as the need to sleep

  Finding him

  Irezlie

  Not only was saddened but

  Determined not to give

  Into the curse

  Not caring about her life

  Giving it up sounded easy.

  Every night

  At each passing hour

  Centuries returned to her

  Haunting Irezlie

  Oath bound her

  Teetering curse

  Havoc and despair

  Entering her feeling

  Rasping noises echoing from her heart

  Smiling as

  Miracles do happen

  Irezlie

  Let the pull push

  Inward

  Not sure what it was. She just

  Gave in

  Sitting in the office

  He felt

  Enshrined with happiness

  Gave into the

  Attraction for the strange creature

  Venturing into the unknown death

  Entrapping him

  It wrapped around them, consumed them,

  Naming them soul mates.

  The power was strong

  Having at them

  Ever slowly pulling Irezlie in

  Cursing at the curse

  Understanding what it was doing

  Rage filled her

  Supplying the energy

  Enough to get away

  Irezlie

  Stayed still.

  Broken at last

  Realization sunk

  On through

  Knowing what happened

  Enwrapping her mind

  Night had come

  Attention was only for

  The full moon

  Last months encounter had stayed

  At last the

  Special creature left his mind

  The ties tied to him

  Banished,

  Ears heard,

  Cries from,

  Other worldly sounds.

  Monsters screamed,

  Irate at the lost.

  Never did they think she’d

  Give in to the curse and find the truth.

  Hot teardrops fell

  Under the full moon

  Mixing with the rivers water

  At the edge she lay

  Naked. Waiting for her knight

  Again he came even if he

  Gained nothing. No

  Advantages of otherworldly power

  In love was the only award

  Never would he thought he’d fall in love again

  Love you

  Irezlie be

  my wife.

  Do not

  leave

  me
