A few hours later Erik went back over to the Khanum with a smile most unpleasant. Blood was all over him. The only thing he didn’t touch on either of the guard’s was their face. He wanted them to see everything he wanted them to have the same look of horror that every single one of those human beings felt while they were being tortured. The Khanum jumped around like a five year old clapping her hands wildly. She came over to him & put her hand on his chest and whispered to him “You did extremely well my angel of death.” She went over to the door and opened it for him laughing wildly. “You may go back to your apartment now and do what you have to do.” Erik bowed low to her “As you wish.”
As he walked back to his apartment the feelings that he was having right now were completely different then when he first entered that room. He was detached. When he reached his apartment the first thing he did was go to the bathroom. He hated being dirty as a rule but the blood that was covering him disgusted him. He took off his clothes turned on the shower and got in. The hot water made his white skin almost a normal pink but he felt nothing. The blood ran down his body as he just stood under the spray and went down the drain. He did not wash himself just stood under the cleansing water. The sparse hair was soaked as he looked up into the spicket.
After the shower he got out when he heard a knock at the door. He cursed in French as he walked over to it with a robe on. Opening the door with no fear he saw the Deroga standing there. Sighing he let him in as Nadir just looked at him “To what do I owe the honor of you visiting Deroga?” Nadir came in with a package for him from the Khanum “I was told to give you this from her Erik.” Erik turned and wondered if Nadir knew about that room or what had just happened. He took the package from Nadir & threw it on the table disdainfully. “Thank you Deroga. Won’t you please sit down with me and have a cup of tea?”
Nadir sat down opposite him as Erik flopped down on the chair sighing. He then looked up to Nadir with tears in his yellow eyes then put his hands on his face and sobbed aloud. Nadir got up concerned and went over to his friend “What is it my friend?” Erik started to grab the black mask but Nadir stopped him. Erik did not look up nor did he shake off the older man’s hand off of his. Instead he just sat there and stared at it thinking to himself. Nadir meanwhile knew something was wrong “What is it?” Erik looked back up to his face with fear and disgust in his eyes. “I can’t…Deroga.I can’t.” He slipped on the black mask as control finally came over him. Nadir knew that if ever he would gain Erik’s trust it would come from Erik himself. He couldn’t nor wouldn’t push him. But he could feel the tension off of him he could sense the anger rolling off him like waves and something like shame was a very close second.
As the servent of Erik’s came into the room bringing two cups of steaming Jasmine tea and gave one to each man. He had noticed that as soon as the mask came on. The usual control didn’t return to him all at once. He was still trembling when the man servent left. Nadir sighed as Erik sipped his tea noisily. He picked up his cup and stirred it for a few minutes waiting expectantly as if Erik might blurt it out whatever was bothering him.A few minutes later he was back in control the Erik that Nadir first saw was back in his place. Erik looked up to him and said very quietly “Do you realize that you are sitting in the presence of the Khanum’s angel of death?” The comment made Nadir tip over some of the tea on the carpet. Erik just stared at him not paying any attention to the look on his face. Nadir’s lips pursed “W..What did you say?” Erik sighed impatiently then rolled his eyes “I am the Khanum’s angel of death.” he said again.
Nadir had to control some of his emotions as well “When did this happen?” he asked his anger rolling off of him but Erik never seemed to notice it. “This afternoon.” Nadir calmed himself down and just said “Oh.” Erik got up from the chair grabbed the package that Nadir brought in with him and brought it back over to his chair and sat down. He tore off the packaging and looked curiously at the contents. There were some poppy seeds, which Erik really became fascinated by it. He turned to Nadir “What is this?” Nadir sighed as he took the seeds from Erik’s hand “Hashish.” he said simply. He gave it back to Erik as he placed the poppy seeds out of the bag & into his hand studying them. “Interesting..I’ll have to try it later.” he whispered to himself.
In his apartment Erik picked up his violin and looked at it as if he had never seen it before. He put it up to his chin and started to play a sweet haunting melody which had in a few minutes became maddening to Nadir. The sweet smoke of the poppy seeds drifted through the apartment like poisoned incense. He put the pipe up to his deformed lips and sucked it in for a brief few seconds. By the time he put it down his eyes became glazed over. He took off the mask with a flourish and then played the violin some more. Making the music hiss in angry undertones Erik swayed to its ugliness. After a while he put it down and put his head into his hands once again. Nadir came over gently to him as he heard a frightening wail. Erik stood up angrily turning to Nadir’s frightened figure. He pointed a finger to Nadir accusingly “Do you know anything about that room Deroga?” Nadir stared at him with eyes wide open & shook his head “What room?”
Erik began to pace around the floor looking at Nadir the whole time “You have no idea??!!” he hissed then he screamed to nobody in particular “He has no idea!!!!” then he turned back his yellow eyes flashed angrily “The room where she keeps all of her toys Deroga! When she’s through playing with them! She takes them into a room & they never come back out! That room!” Nadir looked at him in sadness but still shook his head negatively “I do not understand what you are talking about. I know of no such room. Most of her toys as you call them either run away or….” Erik strolled over to him fiercely & put his hands around his neck “NO! They don’t run away Deroga! She takes them into a room, tortures breaks them then puts them into glass coffins where they die from slowly suffocation so SHE can have them with her through all time! Christ she has a child in there!!! A CHILD! Who did nothing to anybody!”
He let go of Nadir’s neck and slowly turns his back on him stroking his arms as if a chill went through his body. Goosebumps raised on his flesh as he began to talk much more calmer “If you could only see Deroga…if you could only see what she has done to those poor souls.. What she did to me..” he trembled then put his cape around his body hugging himself close. Nadir fingered his neck then looked at Erik sadly “Erik?” no response from the man in black just more shivering.Erik looked to the pipe then to his mask. He smoked the weed as he began to cry. Nadir just stood beside him saying nothing. “She’s a cold hearted monster Nadir.” Nadir shook his head still saying nothing “I never thought a women would want to hurt a child because he didn’t give her what she wanted.” a sinister chuckle “Well she got what she wanted from me.” Nadir gently put a hand on his slender shoulder “That is why you said you would be her angel of death. yes?”
Erik nodded again feeling the tension then whispered “Yes…I never thought someone could hurt me as much as she did” He turned back to Nadir again this time with a vulnerable look on his face “I never thought anyone would hurt me again…silly isn’t it? Even though I say I have no more emotions or anything like that.it takes someone like her to break me.” Nadir sighed then cleared his throat embarrassed at being the one to see all of this pain. Erik saw that he was making him uncomfortable so he turned around not facing him “I’m sorry Deroga..Nadir. I shouldn’t be making you see all of this.” He put the mask back on his face as control finally came to him. His hands dropped from his arms the cape was dropped away from his body as though it didn’t want to touch him either.
Nadir sighed gently came over to him & touched his shoulder as Erik trembled violently. A small child like whisper sprung from his throat “do you want to hurt me too?” Nadir looked angry for a brief moment then sighed again “No my friend I don’t want to hurt you…nor have I ever wanted to.” He clasped both bony shoulders gently but never turned him around to face him. Erik’s usually beautiful voice seemed to crawl even deeper into that whisper “you can if you want to.” Nadir suddenly angry with him flung him around to face him but regained control over himself. “Erik, you do not have to be afraid of me.” Erik’s head bowed down looking at the floor & said quietly “You’re my friend?” Nadir could feel the sobs racking his body.
“By Allah his life must have been horrible to have him think that I would even try to hurt him.” Nadir thought to himself. He started to cry making poor whimpers as Nadir wrapped his arms around Erik’s back. Usually Erik would never allow him to hold him in any kind of form but now with all the resistance gone Erik just clamped down on him. Too afraid that Nadir would let him go. He slid to his knees borrowing his head onto his chest and just wailed. Nadir didn’t know what to do so he got on his knees also and just held him trying to calm him down. His shoulders shook as he blurted all that the Khanum had done to him in those few hours in her playground. Guards came in when they heard the promises of not hurting him but Nadir ran them out. He knew he could not keep them quiet of blabbing this to the Khanum who would have loved this. This was not a time for somebody to hear about how this woman had broken this proud man in front of him who was now weeping profusely.
One of his male servants came into the room as Nadir asked him in some hushed words to get some tea boiling. Erik looked up to Nadir with tears in his eyes leaned over & kissed him softly. Nadir was in shock but he kept the emotions off of his face. Instead he just wiped his tears away and still said nothing. Erik looked up at him again and said gently “please nadir.use me..just take this away.. please.” Nadir shook his head no as Erik sighed “just let me feel love…for once.” He began to take off his clothes looking at Nadir desperately. Nadir did nothing to encourage or discourage him. He looked at the wounds all over his body with his soft chocolate eyes and traced them lightly with his fingers then he got up and locked the door. He got Erik up from his knees & took him to the bedroom and laid him down covering his body with a warm luxurious blanket. “I am not going to use you Erik but if you want me to stay I will.”
Erik snuggled into bed lifting the blanket so that Nadir would lay with him. “I’m not asking for much Deroga just lay with me.” Nadir took off his boots & curled up beside him holding him close. For a few seconds the two men said nothing Erik just lay in Nadir’s arms and then fell into a troubled asleep. Nadir meanwhile looked at the sleeping demonic face in front of him and touched it gently. He knew he himself would sleep soon and by the time they would wake up. Erik would probably have no memory of this happening but Nadir knew he would never use him for himself or even when Erik had begged him. Without warning there was a quiet knock at the bedroom door Erik’s eyes flew open as his body jumped in response as he clung to Nadir more. “Please I don’t want to go into that room again.” he pleaded his eyes fixed on the door. Nadir got up as he saw Erik trembling like a beaten dog “She will not harm you again Erik. You have my word.”
Clearing his throat he demanded to know who it was. When s a small voice answered that it was the servant with the tea. Nadir sighed & let him in. The servant looked to the bed then to Nadir gave him the teapot without saying a word then left. As he exited Nadir went over to him and poured him a cup of Jasmine tea. Erik took it with shaky hands & sipped it while Nadir did the same. When the tea was done Nadir crept back into the bed as Erik curled up beside him and fell into a deep troubled sleep once again. A few hours later Erik woke up he saw Nadir in bed with him with his clothes on. He smiled a little to himself for once he had someone hold him & there was nothing that he had to do in return. He noticed how beautiful Nadir really was and wondered why he had never taken a second or third wife already. He had always said that it seemed disloyal to Reza but to Erik’s thoughts he knew how much he loved her.
True there were several women coming & going whenever he was visiting his estate but that was just it. More women never stayed in his room except for the customary few hours that Nadir required. Erik had been a little jealous of the passionate love making but had never thought of Nadir actually taking any of these women as a wife. Throwing on a robe Erik got out of bed lurking around the apartment to occupy his mind. In a few minutes Nadir awoke as Erik said to him calmly “Good morning.” Nadir smiled at his friend & noticed that he didn’t seem to mind anything that happened last night. “Good morning.” He said quietly the male servant was called again as Erik asked him for breakfast & coffee for two. The servant went to the kitchen & started to prepare the meal as Erik sat down on a chair content. Nadir got out of bed & sat at the chair opposite him. He came out with two cups of coffee with cream & sugar the two men exchanged pleasantries to each other. Breakfast was brought in Erik told the servant he could leave. Taking off the mask he devoured his making sure he didn’t miss a crumb. When it was over Erik turned to Nadir and said quietly “Thank you…for everything.”
