I sat in the large dungeon that I call my home ever since. Dark stone walls, with fire torches casting flickering shadows as if it was alive. On the walls hung huge gold frames with painted portraits of my love. There was nothing but the moonlight casting its brilliant light through the huge windows, shedding its brilliance on the corpse in front of me.
Her hands were crossed and she was smiling. Wearing that full white dress with an exquisite red emerald necklace. Her hair was white and there were wrinkles all over her face. Still she looked beautiful. She was my wife Elizabeth.
I sat shrouded in darkness with tears.
I walked towards the window and glanced out the mountains that was covered by darkness. And I could still hear that shrieking laughter from the woman who took everything from me. Everything except my life.
The crows were noisily crowing away, sending echoes in the dungeon walls.
How long has it been? How long have I been living?
I’ve known Elizabeth for a long time. We have been through so much just to be together, but I didn’t expect her to leave me. Why has it to be her?
Me: Curse you Kayla! Curse you!!!
I met Kayla in the countryside in Scotland. Life was carefree and enjoyable. And we grew up together, with another good friend Kayla. But the feelings I have for Kayla wasn’t exactly the chemistry but more like siblings. And with Elizabeth, the feeling was mutual. We grew up to be teenagers and still had fun playing together until one day it was invaded by foreigners. Barbarians. They came, raped and murdered whoever they see and the three of us hid. I took Elizabeth and hid in the basement. There was only space for the two of us. So I told Kayla to find another hiding place.
Kayla was terrified and the only place she could think of is the cupboard. And she jumped in and hid herself. The door slammed opened and the barbarians came in. Ransacked the whole house and search for any living people. I covered Elizabeth’s mouth as they stepped on the plank. Luckily they did not discover that we were in there. But Kayla wasn’t as lucky. They rammed open the wardrobe door, pulled her out.
Kayla landed on the floor and the only sound she could hear was the barbarians laughter as they took off their clothes and tore her clothes, and humiliated her. She was screaming “Help me…help me, please.” But I did nothing. I feared Elizabeth would become a victim. I closed my eyes and waited.
Her screams died down as she resigned herself to fate. She did not know how many of them took turns. After they were done, they carried her back and she shouted.
Kayla: I will never forgive you. Curse you. Curse you!
After Kayla was taken away, I took Elizabeth out and the whole scene was filled with corpses and blood. A sight that I could not forget. In the distance I saw Kayla being carried away.
Elizabeth hugged me and we took refuge in a huge abandoned dungeon.
I didn’t know where Kayla was but the only thing was to make sure that Elizabeth was fine.
Kayla was brought back to camp and her fate was dreadful. She was once again humiliated as she gripped the soil. Hatred burned in her. She was furious and vengeful. She could not take it anymore, she clawed one of the barbarians and kicked them on the balls. She cursed. And cursed.
She was feeling something in her calling out. Something sinister.
*Yesss…. curse…. be furious… he could have saved you but he didn’t… he didn’t… he sacrificed you in order to keep her safe….. hate…hate…build the hatred…. come….walk straight to the cave…. and I shall filled you with endless power…. take revenge….*
She walked and walked until her sole bled. but she continued, following the darkness in her. And finally she saw a green flame at the corner, where a robed lady stood before her. Red eyes and badly wrinkled skin. Her nose was crooked and she smelled badly of decay. She was the sorceress, where even the barbarians feared.
Elizabeth and me had been fleeing ever since that invasion. We had ran from place to place, hiding ourselves. And our love grew each and everyday. We have lost news of Kayla. After years of fleeing, we finally settled down at a dungeon that seemed to detached itself from the world and we made it our home.
Kayla became the disciple of the Sorceress, learning each and every thing she could master; killing each and every barbarian who humiliated her. She turned them into dogs and slaves with her sorcery. And killed the sorceress who taught her everything. She was more vengeful than her master after learning that it was her who ordered the barbarians to attack the village.
Kayla took the head of the sorceress and threw it away. Kayla’s sorcery outshined her master’s but it had a requirement. She had to have sex with the virgin boys. And that was the job of the slaves.
I took up the job with the royal army. After years I was soon to be titled Knight. It meant security for me and Elizabeth. But these soon came to a halt when the war came and I had to lead the war against the barbarians.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. What stood before me looked hideous but familiar. Kayla. She was leading them. It was a long fight which lasted days. And finally we triumphed. I took the blade and slashed it down Kayla. Before she breathed her last, her fingers wrote an incantation on me with her sharp nails, making it bleed before she spat her blood out. And that shrieking laughter was something I can’t forget even till now.
Kayla: Let’s see how things turn out for Elizabeth and you… I curse you eternally… haha… hahaha…hahahahhaha… she said was she rotted.
No matter how much I tried, the mark on my arm wouldn’t go. And I thought it was nothing.

I woke up by the honking of the cars in the busy streets of Hong Kong with a terrible hangover from last night. My small little room was full of junk. And beside me was one of the clubbers I brought home. I couldn’t even remember who she was. But she was hot.
She was sleeping soundly on the bed naked. Her curvacious body and smooth complexion, long slender legs and executive looking short hair was just too irresistible for me. I was having an erection again. My hands reached for her c melons, twitching her nipples in between my fingers and played with it. I rolled over to her and spread her legs. I couldn’t resist looking at her facial expression when I penetrated her. Her eyebrows arched and her lips parted slightly, letting out a small exhale.
Girl: 不要。。不要。。。
I ignored her and continued pumping. She was getting wetter and wetter.
Me: Are you sure? Your below doesn’t seem to be agreeing with your thinking.
Girl: 你好坏。。。
I thrust her more forcefully as she cramped her legs on mine and suddenly pushed me down on the bed and rode on me hungrily, with her eyes still closed. She was letting her subconscious mind control her.
Girl: 不行了。。。 我。。。。要了来。。。啊啊。。。。
With that she splurt out a huge load, spraying on my body. She laid on the bed, tired to continue but I carried on fucking her missionary until I fired my load on the breasts.
Girl: 讨厌。。。又射在胸部。。。粘粘的。
I ignored her and rolled over to the bed.
She got up to the toilet and washed herself before coming back, begging for another round.
How long has it been? I have lost count.
I travelled to many countries, trying to figure out about the way to erase that symbol off my hand but prove futile. Everytime I went to the priest, bomoh, or any medium they would just shook their heads, stating that they can’t undo this ancient magic.
Yes, I could not die. I have seen many loved ones dying before me. Now even after centuries, I have learnt not to fall in love easily anymore. And discovered that having flings might not be a bad thing at all.

[QUOTE=black84;8673044]nice story,reminds me of the serial.不老传说(周初明 & 陈秀丽)
back than ch8 drama was watchable
I sat at the cramped room, paying that stranger who slept with me. But she declined and gave me a kiss before she left. And she whispered to me: Can I come again? Nice tattoo you have there on your wrist.
I nodded as she packed her stuff and left. I stood rooted for a while, looking at the weird looking emblem at my wrist. And gave a loud sigh before I went to the shower.
There I stared at the mirror. Just how long have I been alive? It’s really painful and the only thing I wished most was the thing they called death. The scenario of Kayla keeps ringing in my head. She was a living nightmare.
I have been a backpacker all my life. I didn’t really like staying in a place for long unless there was something for me. Something emotional. I touched my right chest to feel the heartbeat but there was none. Other than being so called immortal, my heart was turned to stone. The only way to die? Unless the stone heart starts to crack, letting my emotions come back again.
I walked to the window and stared at the neon signboards, the honking sound and took out a cigarette and puffed. Letting it fill my lungs before I exhaled. Puffing on it seemed to be the escapade, together with that glass of XO on the rocks. The puff of smoke seemed to transform the entire environment to the scene where Elizabeth breathed her last.
Elizabeth: Glacier, no matter what happens I will be there for you to heal your heart. Remember, now and ever I will be there for you.
She said as a tear fell as she died. I screamed and felt that pain in my heart as it solidified. I passed out from it and when I awoke, the emotions were gone. It was as though I was reborn. Without the emotional feel that is.
I clicked on the old pocket watch hung around my neck with a small portrait of Elizabeth. It was all faded but it gave me a recollection of her.
When would that healing Elizabeth promised happened? I’ve been waiting for centuries but none was there. I spent my life searching but the only think I got was the same. A deep breath took the last puff of the cigarette as I finished up the liquor and headed out for the place I love to hang out now.
The place they called Lan Kwai Fong.
That place always fascinated me. It was always crowded with babes with killer bods and they were just out for fun. So there was not that emotional attachment.
Me: XO on the rocks, please.
I took a sip at the counter and looked around. All that nice fanciful lighting and wild dancers never failed to make me excited. Took a quick sip of the liquor and off I went to the dance floor. Dancing to the beat. Occasionally brushing some babes intentionally, squeezing their tight asses and before they could react I would kiss them on their cheeks and say “You are beautiful”. That phrase didn’t seem to fail me at all. Some playful ones would give my groin a squeeze. And the potential ones would swing and lean their bodies on my back and use their butts to seduce me by rubbing or hugging me from behind, letting their soft boobies press on my back. Some would literally drag me out of the club and have a quickie at the alley.
So I would end up f**king 2-3 babes every time I was there. And there would be 1 or 2 whom would follow me back to my apartment.
I stood there dancing and swaying, where a few ladies came near me and stared at me lustfully as they did their seductive dance moves. I played along, touching their breasts in the process. They were not wearing any bra beneath. One of the girls grabbed my hand and guided it to below. She was not wearing any panties at all. She spread her legs for me to finger her as she leaned towards me.
Girl: You want more?
She said as she licked my ears.
Girl: Feel my C cuppers that is just the right size for you. Ahhh… mmmm…. you want to see my color and feel the size? ahhhh
Her hand reached for my groin as she gave it a sensual squeeze.
Girl: Come on… I’m feeling so horny… You can feel from my pussy now… It’s dripping wet isn’t it? I want you to stuff me… now.. right now… shall we go to the restroom? I want you so badly…ahhhhhh….
Without waiting for me to reply, she dragged me to the toilet and pushed opened the cubicle door forcefully. Stripped herself and threw her clothes on the floor and sat on the bowl, spread her legs and said: Suck me.
Her pussy was clean shaven and her lips pink. I knelt down and went straight to her pink lips, letting my tongue do the conversation with her pussy. She took my hands and cupped her breasts. Firm and not saggy, with beige colored nipples that was extremely sensitive. Her nipples were hard in no time and unexpectedly, she pushed my head closer to her pussy as she let out her cum, soaking my face with it. She then took off my pants like an untamed tigress, and placed my entire shaft as deep as she could go. She gagged but she didn’t stop, instead she went deeper again, taking in my precum with the slurping sounds. Her head was moving furiously that I almost lost control. She seemed to know that I was almost at the edge of ejaculating. She spit on my dick and turned around, arching her backside to me.
Girl: Fuck me… fuck me… hard..
I shafted it in real hard and she cummed again.
Girl: Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck… it feels good… pump harder… pump harder! Ooohhh……..
She started to grope her own breasts, pulling and twisting her raisins. I increased the velocity of my thrusts as her hands stretched out, using the walls of the cubicles as her support. The sounds of the lapping forces of flesh could be heard. We wasn’t the only pair having fun. I could hear the moans of the other cubicles as well.
Girl: I’m cumming…. I cumming……..
Me: Me too… Where do you want me to shoot? Your mouth or inside?
Girl: All into me….. I want you to shoot everything in me……
As I increased my pace, I held on and pumped as hard as I could before the shots of sperm came gushing out, filling her insides.
Girl: Feels so warm and good… ahhhhh….ahhhh… more… more…
Shot after shot until my ammo tank was emptied fully. I took it out and she fell on her knees.
Girl: Feels so fucking good… I haven’t been stuffed for a long time…. ahhhhh
She stood up and streaks of cum came dripping down from her pussy to the floor. She took the toilet paper and wiped it off.
Girl: Give me your number. I was to get fucked by you again.
I keyed my number to her phone, and took a picture of her naked on my phone before I left.
Right then, her name was Leng.

I went out of the toilet and sat at the same corner, ordering the same old glass of XO. Glancing around the clubbing scene, sipping the glass of my favorite liquor. I saw Leng again at the dance floor, still swinging herself with the music. Her body was really top notch and her stamina was good. She was picked up by another not long after. And she stared at my direction, gesturing me to follow her. She must have wanted me to peep at her having sex. I looked away and took a puff.
It’s weird. I had a hunch that I will meet someone today. But what was this feeling about? What was it that makes me feel that uncertainty?
I gulped down the remaining liquor and decided its time to leave. Taking the last puff and placing it in the ashtray, I left. Step by step, I walked past the dance floor. That hunch might just be imaginary, I thought as I was nearing the exit.
I tried looking around the interior for one last time to clear the hunch. Nothing. I continued walking when the door opened and hit me. It hit my nose and I squatted down in pain.
I saw a flashy stiletto lined up with black crystals and a nice pair of legs. The feel felt familiar. The smell of her body. I raised my head.
She was wearing a gorgeous black blouse with ample V slit that flaunted her nice shaped cleavage boobs with a long black crystal necklace parked in the middle of her cleavage. The slits at the bottom showcased her slender legs. She was really stunning. Her graceful long hair, the nice long eyelashes, pink full lips, and almond shaped brown eyes made her the center of attraction.
She turned her head and looked at me. She saw me holding my bleeding nose and ordered one of her servants to pass me a handkerchief to stop the bleeding. And she just walked away.
The moment our eyes met, memories flooded my brain and it seemed as though I had known her. But where? I took the handkerchief and held it on my nose. It smelled like flowery and one glance at it was that it was not cheap. Fully made out of silk with nice oriental embroidery. I was totally mesmorised by her gracefulness and beauty. Stood there like a total fool when the door slammed open again, hitting me for the second time and I passed out cold.
When I came to, I was at a unfamiliar room, most probably a female’s, judging from the pink walls and the floral motifs. I sat up with a bad headache, to see a girl in her white singlets and shorts. I could catch a glimpse of her nipples from the thin layer. Yes I was a t Leng’s apartment.
I shook my head and tried to get out of bed when she pushed me down, asking me to rest while she reached for my pants and pulled it down. Giving me a push and pull of my foreskin, before she gulped it fully.
Coffeecans Reads
Me: Do you know who that lady was? The one I saw before I passed out?
Leng stopped.
Leng: You better stay away from her. She’s not someone you can handle. Forget that you seen her.
Me: But why?
Leng: She’s a well known beauty known for her merciless violence. She appears angelic but deep in her she likes to torture those whom have a liking for her.
Leng was almost on the verge of tears.
Leng: My fiance. Was killed by her.
I stood there. Shocked by what I heard.
Leng: She is from the underworld; meaning the gangs. Her father is one of the top gang leaders here. She has one nick here and cliche it might be, its suits her really well. Her name is Kyle, nicknamed ‘The Black Rose’. Believe me Glacier. Stay away from her.
Me: What happened to your fiance if I can ask?
Leng adjusted herself and took my cigarette.
Leng: It has been two years. Cheng and I were supposed to be married in two weeks time. And on the bachelor’s night, he went with his friends to the clubbing scene where you met me. And there was when he met her. He was mesmerized by her beauty. And asked for her contacts. She of course did not give it to him but asked him to do as what she says then she will give him a chance for her number. He was blinded by her beauty and agreed to her request like a puppet. His friends were shouting to him but he couldn’t hear them at all. It was as if he was under some spell. His friends followed him in fear that something would happen to him.
Cheng followed Kyle to the back alley and her bodyguards gave him a thrashing. His friends tried to stop by they were paralyzed by fear. They could only see the silhouette of Cheng being beaten up and then in an instance, he heard a scream that could chill you to the very bone. They could see the Kyle digging out his heart.
They stood grounded and one of his friends kicked the can accidentally, and they saw red glowing eyes from Kyle. They tried to run but they seemed to be running stationary at the spot. The bodyguards caught up to them and took them as punching bags.
One of his friend feigned death and managed to escape but the others wasn’t lucky. He waited for Kyle to leave before he gave Leng a call for help. They couldn’t lodge a police report for Leng knew they would get away scot-free. Leng could only clench her teeth.
Me: Sorry Leng.
Leng: Its fine. I’ve been drowning myself in deceit ever since.
The actions of Kyle did remind himself of someone he knew. The one who gave him the curse.
After centuries, he never expected that he would meet the one he calls “Kayla” here. The very thought of it does make Glacier shiver with fear.
Me: I’m really sorry to hear that. Maybe I could buy you lunch?
Leng suddenly hyped up.
Leng: Sure! I’m starting to feel hungry too! I want Nissin noodles with egg and luncheon meat! Together with a cup of hot milk tea! Come on! Let me bring you to a good place!
She dressed up and grabbed my hand.
Leng: Let’s go!
Her mood changed instantly as I tagged along. I could feel my tummy grumbling.
She brought me to a famous restaurant in Jordan and ordered two servings of lunch and milk tea. I added an extra set of bread.
Tea was served first and we enjoyed it whilst talking to each other. I took a look around the traditional restaurant. Full of chinese handwritings of food menus and specials. And people speaking cantonese to each other. Many ordered the bottles of milk to drink too. Waiters and waitress were exiting in and out of the kitchen door.
Suddenly my heart reacted to something here in this restaurant. It seemed that time was stopped and my heart felt warm. Something that I had never experienced at all. But why?
Waitress: Sir, noodles?
I turned my head.
I gasped.
She dropped the tray containing the two bowls of noodles as she fell to the ground. The two of us looked at each other as though time had stopped. Who was she? And why does she resemble her so much? Why?
Was she the Elizabeth that I had been waiting for?
Leng was puzzled. She kept staring at the two of us.
Leng: Hey! Are you all alright? Waitress, ain’t you supposed to clean up the mess?
Waitress: Sorry sorry. I will clean it up.
She was scolded by the manager for dropping the bowls and I stood up and said: It’s fine. It was an accident. I will pay for it.
The waitress. Just who is she?
I finished lunch with Leng and we parted ways. I took a glance back and saw the waitress looking out.
Who is she? I was determined to find out.

I headed home for a rest and decided that I would go back again this evening. Hoping to wait for her to be off work. Took out a cigarette and lighted. Opened my old pocket watch and stared at the faded portrait.
Is that you Elizabeth? Tell me.
I fell asleep holding the pocket watch. The past seemed to become alive in my dreams.
After killing Kayla, we returned with triumph, holding her head and displayed in the streets. Everyone cheered. I went back to convey the news to Elizabeth happily.
As I pushed open the heavy doors. “Eliz, we are triumphant!”
To my horror, I saw Elizabeth in bed, her body and hair all turned white like that of an old lady.
Me: What happened? What happened Elizabeth?
Elizabeth smiled at me with her wrinkled hands trying to reach for me.
Me: I don’t believe this.
Elizabeth weeped.
Kayla: Let’s see how things turn out for Elizabeth and you… I curse you eternally… haha… hahaha…hahahahhaha…
Me: Kayla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elizabeth held my hands.
Eliz: It doesn’t matter my love. I will be with you wherever you will be. We will once again be together. Do not be sad. I will always be here. I have a gift for you. Go to the drawer. Open it.
I went towards it and there laid a beautiful gold pocket watch. I took it and went towards Elizabeth.
Eliz: I wanted to give it to you as a gift dear. I had it done and was planning to celebrate the special day with you. Today is our ten years together. But I’m afraid that it might not happen. Keep it as a token of our love. When you think of me, open it. Don’t be sad for I will always be there to heal your heart. Be strong my love. Be strong.
She said as she released her grip.
Me: Eliz. Eliz. Eliz!!!!!!!!
She was motionless.
Damn you Kayla. Damn you KAYLA!
I punched the dungeon wall until I bled. But none of the physical pain could take away the feeling of losing a loved one.
Suddenly the room became dark and Kayla surfaced from the shadows!
Kayla: Serves you right! You won’t be even be with her in death! I curse you with a stone heart all your life. You will not die. Hahaha you shall always see your loved one die one by one. Your grief will be my happiness!
Kayla said as she vanished.
There was an excruciating pain in my chest. I could feel it hardening until I heard it crack as I fell into darkness.

I awoke suddenly, with sweat all over. Why were all these dreams surfacing now? I showered and left the room, with a goal in mind. To know that waitress I met today. There must be something that drew me to her. Some indescribable feeling. Took the MTR and stopped over at Jordan.
Kyle sat on her opulent plush leather sofa with maids massaging her legs and attending to her every requests. She raised her fingers and the bodyguard came forward.
Kyle: Check out who the guy is. The one that I gave my handkerchief to. It feels that I’ve known him for a long time.
Her bodyguard nodded and gestured a few men to follow him.
She raised the other finger and another bodyguard came.
Kyle: Bring me one of my ‘prisoners’. I feel like being entertained.
He nodded and left the room.
Within minutes he came back with a guy only in his briefs, his head covered by a black sack, hands cuffed. The bodyguard threw him on his knees in front of Kyle. She took out the sack, exposing his face.
Kyle: So you have a liking for me? How badly do you want me?
Man (Geng): I would give up everything for you. Everything.
He smiled.
Kyle: Everything?
Geng: Everything.
Kyle: Ok I would give you a chance. Bodyguards. Gouge out his eyes.
They did so without asking.
Geng screamed in pain: Ahhhhhhh!!! My eyes!!!
Kyle: Didn’t you say you would give me everything? Now I shall grant your wish. I shall give you the chance to screw me. Isn’t it a great deal to have?
Geng nodded like a dog.
Kyle looked around and pointed at one of her maids and instructed her over. She was reluctant but her bodyguards tore the maid’s clothes and threatened to kill her if she refuses. She agreed with her head hung low.
The bodyguard took a chair in front of Geng and asked the maid to sit there.
Kyle: Hey you, bandage his eyes. His blood is spoiling my floor.
The medic came and bandaged him while the cleaners quickly cleaned up. They were all afraid of her.
Kyle went towards the maid: You better be horny and sound horny when he screws you. Else you will know what happens to you afterwards.
She nodded obediently.
Kyle: That’s my good dog.
Kyle: Lick me. I’m in front of you. Make me cum.
She ordered the crew to taped down the entire video.
Kyle: Now put your finger in me… ahhhh…. ahhhh.. more.. more… I want your full fist.
Geng obey as he pushed the entire fist into the maid’s pussy. She squirted and moaned.
Kyle: Ahh… go deeper…
The maid arched her eyebrows and face as he went deeper, squirting like a tap.
Kyle: It’s time I return the favor.
The maid nodded as she took his underwear and sucked on him. He was enjoying himself as he pushed the maid’s head deep, causing her to choke. Kyle went and gave him a slap.
Kyle: How dare you. I am in command.
She said as she gave his balls a hard squeeze. He arched to the ground in pain.
Kyle: You listen to my command are you clear. Don’t overestimate yourself.
She said as she spat on him.
He nodded happily with his arms arched like a dog.
Kyle: Lie down. I will ride on you.
He obeyed and the maid took over.
Geng: Wow you are tight…
Kyle slapped him again: Shut up. I didn’t ask you to speak.
The maid rode on full speed as she was starting to enjoy the session.
Geng: I… I can’t take it anymore.
Kyle: Shoot it in my mouth.
The maid quickly took it out and took his load in her mouth.
Geng: ahhh… ahhh… ahhhhhh
The maid nearly choked.
Kyle asked one of the maid to tell her not to swallow but spit everything back to Geng’s mouth. She order a couple of maids to force open his mouth and the maid to spit his cum back to his mouth.
Geng gagged on his own sperm.
Kyle: How is it? You like your own cum?
Geng vomited and stained her floor.
Kyle: You piece of shit! Get rid of him.
The bodyguards took him and threw him in the back alley after breaking his limbs.
Kyle: Not entertaining at all.
She said as she spit on the floor. She shifted her eyes on the maid who was just fucked.
Kyle: Good job. Here’s your reward. Bodyguards, have your fill. Since you like being fucked. Judging from your facial expression, I will grant your wish. After that, go work in one of my brothels.
The maid begged no but the bodyguards came like hungry wolves. Feeding themselves with their desires.
I stood outside the restaurant, waiting for the waitress to knock off. I took out another cigarette and inhaled. Then I heard the metal grills closing. I saw the waitress. She saw me but when I was about to cross the road, I saw another man holding her hands as they left.
She looked at me as the man dragged her away.
She was attached.
Coffeecans Reads
I felt like I was in the heavy rain, totally drenched. I wanted so much to know her. Seeing that, I knew I had to work that extra harder. But the first thing I needed to do was to know her first. And I am going back again tomorrow to see her again.
I did not have any urge to pick up girls that day. I just walked aimlessly on the streets. Looking at the good old neighborhood with historic buildings and signboards. The elderly sat on the floor looking at newspapers and some street stalls were selling porn magazines openly. Pimps were all over the place, asking visitors and passerbys if they wanted sex.
Pimp: Hey foreigner, you want any honkie chicks tonight? All fresh and tight. What size you like? Tell em.
I ignored him and walked away. He spat on the ground and cursed in cantonese. But he went on to ask the other visitors who showed interest.
I put on my earphones and walked away.
Leng appeared below my block, looking all flustered and anxious. She led me to a corner.
Leng: You are back… be careful Glacier. I saw Kyle’s bodyguards loitering around. You better be on your guard.
Me: What does she want with me?
Leng: I’m not sure too. But since her bodyguards is loitering it may be you that she is looking.
Me: I’m not afraid of her Leng.
Leng: Everyone says that. But when they are faced with death, everything changes.
Me: Right. But I can’t die.
Leng: Can’t die? Everybody says they can’t die because they haven’t fulfilled their wish.
She said with that “don’t brag” posture.
Leng: Forget it. Let’s go to my place to hide. Safer for you.
Me: Alright. Let me go pack.
Leng: Pack? Given that they might have already know your room. I have some old clothes of my fiance which you can wear.
She said as she brought me away to her place.
Bodyguard: Sorry Boss, we couldn’t locate him. We will look again.
Kyle: Useless fools. Burn the house down. Any information about him?
Bodyguard: No. He doesn’t seem to have any traces of identity.
Kyle: Are you all pieces of shit? Such a simple task and you all can’t find out?
She slapped them in the face. Get me some information by tomorrow or your heads will roll.
The bodyguards nodded and was hot on my heels. Trying to find information but they were still not sure how I look. How could they get information?
Leng gave me a haircut and dyed my hair black. Asked me to wear shades out so no one could recognize me.
Me: Hey there are so many people like me around. How can they check?
Leng: Just to be safe ok? It’s safe here. Only me and grandma lives here.
Me: Where’s your Grandma?
Leng: She’s gone to the temple. It’s the 15th of the month. She goes to the temple and perform some rituals. My Grandma is a medium. And a strong one in that.
Me: Medium? Like witches?
Leng: My god, which era are you from? Witches?
She giggled and held her stomach.
Me: Not funny.
Leng: hahhaahaha.. go and have a bath. Here. Pyjamas.
Me: Oh thanks.
Leng: No prob.
Me: Can I ask you a question?
Leng: Yes?
Me: Do you know the waitress at the restaurant we dined in yesterday? The one who dropped the bowls.
Leng: That’s Fong. Why? Why do you ask?
Me: I’m not sure. It seemed that I have met her somewhere before.
Leng: Your tricks are so old school do you know?
Me: I’m speaking the truth.
Leng: You never fail to make me laugh you know. How old are you?
Me: I’ve lost count.
Leng: What? Hahaha you are a funny one.
Me: I’m serious.
Leng: Hahahahhaahaha.
Me: Stab me.
Leng: WHAT?
Me: Stab me.
Leng: Don’t be silly. Jokes have a limit.
I unbutton my shirt and took the scissor on her table and stabbed myself.
Leng covered her hands in fear.
Leng: What do you think you are doing!
I pulled out the scissor and Leng hurriedly went to take the first aid kit.
When she arrived, my wounds were healed.
Leng: What the hell?
Me: I told you. I can’t die.
Leng: You must be joking.
Just then, the door opened and Leng’s Grandma shouted.
Leng’s Grandma (LG): Who’s there? Show yourself. You ain’t human nor ghost. Who are you?
She said as the walking stick was pounding on the floor. Yes she was blind.
Leng: Grandma you are back!
LG: Who is he?
Leng: Just a friend Grandma.
Me: Hi Granny, I’m Glacier.
I offered my hand and she touched mine.
She stood rooted for a moment and I could feel my memories coming back.
Grandma: Oh my Oh my…
She shook her head repeatedly.
Leng: Are you alright Grandma?
LG: He’s a disaster Leng. Leave him at one. He will bring nothing but misfortune.
Leng: But why?
LG: He’s cursed. He won’t die. His heart has been turned to stone centuries ago. He won’t die unless he meets someone who can melt his heart.
Granny sighed deeply.
Leng: Help him Granny. Help him.
Granny: Sigh. Come here ‘Lao Wai’ (Foreigner)
Granny touched his forehead.
Granny: There are two ladies you’ve met. One wearing black and the other wearing white. Beware Lao Wai. The black one will bring misfortune. Stay away from her. She will bring destruction. The two that you seek will appear to you in this lifetime. They have been reincarnated. I believe you have met both. You can’t avoid them no matter how much you hide. The black one seeks you. But she does not know about her past life. So before that you better try to seek out the girl in white. She is the only hope you have if you want a stop to your life.
I wasn’t wrong. Fong was the one that I was seeking. But given that she is attached, how am I to go about breaking them apart?
The crooked nose. The cape. The thirst of lust. The power of spells.
Kyle tossed about in bed as though she was having a nightmare when the deafening sound of thunder shocked her up. She went to the toilet and looked at the mirror. The lighting flashed and she saw the caped creature and she screamed.
Who’s that ugly lady? She thought. She felt so familiar. This was not the first time she had this dream.
