Chapter ~ 8 : Hoarfrost Agitation

THE roots of these new found feelings were gnawing inside me and by the time I noticed things, I was already restless enough to want to run to her and tell her how I in turn felt about her.

I gaped at the thought and shook myself to my senses. I still couldn't believe that I was willing to let go of my reason just so I could see her again. I admit that it's been a while since I'd last seen Norah. But she promised to meet me today. Maybe that is why I was getting extra restive. I never would've imagined in a millennium that I would actually look so very much forward to see one mundane girl. Oh Lord! How could such a fragile being rob me of my sanity? The answer was yet to be found. But these human emotions blooming inside me were equally confusing to comprehend. So it wasn't much of a surprise.

I strode back and forth around the snow-covered park in sheer eagerness, snapping my head to glance at the downy white road from time to time. But not a gleams of her was to be found. So I waited.

Waited and waited and waited.

Until dusk fell over the horizon, I waited. But Norah didn't show up. And I looked at the chilly lone road with chest-fallen eyes. Wandering what might've gone wrong for her to not come.

In the end, I sighed in dejection and slumped down on the sleety bench, deep in thought.

'Is she alright?'

'Maybe she just forgot about it.'

'No No! I heard human women are very serious about their mates. They would never forget an arranged meeting with their lovers.'

'Then what might be the reason?'

Innumerable thoughts invaded my static mind but I failed to come to a conclusion. And the restlessness was yet to leave my body.

After mulling over the matter for another while I decided to take a little walk around the town. I'd been taking walks around the town recently and it had greatly helped me take my mind off things. Which is a good thing, I suppose.

So I took lazy gloomed steps towards the hoards of crowd and busy streets of the monotonous human world. But little did I know that this walk was going to be the last one I took around the lively streets of this world.
