Chapter 1
Gone.
-Eva-
I stand on the cliff edge overlooking the choppy surface of the water it looks angry today; I felt the wind whip through my hair with its icy tendrils, causing me to shiver slightly. The last of the heat from the sun’s dying light hits my face, and I feel myself relax in content. Taking deep breaths, I close my eyes. I try to centre myself; I concentrate on the light from within. I could feel the power within me expand and pulsate as if I woke it from a deep slumber. I focus on the feeling that it creates on my skin. The ripples of power tickling almost like walking through the tall grass of my favourite meadow. I pushed at the magical barrier that surrounds my entire body I could feel it resist against my will I add more force into it and the barrier begins to expand, once I feel the barrier is secure and not going to snap back to me i sigh in content ive finally done it... I open my eyes,
looking around I can see that I am in a golden orb it shimmers and glitters in the light, I enjoy the golden sheen that covers the world for only a short moment before Images start to flash before my eyes, they are moving too fast for me to even take a glimpse my eyes dance with the movement causing me to feel a little dizzy I can feel the importance of some images before they rush out of my line of sight. In some, the images are gruesome and full of death, blood, and decay. I catch a glimpse of one that moves in front of me It’s not moving as fast as the others. However, I wish it was, it was a horrible sight something that can not be unseen. I peer further into snippets of the flashing images. I can not make out the images, but I can feel what they contain. As time passes I feel my eyes getting used to the speed and quick pace of each movement, I catch a glance of a beautiful image, it is too blurry for me to see it clearly but it feels that it is significant to me and what is to become, I try to focus on this image, itching to take just a quick peek at it.
“Hello, beautiful” a husky knee-buckling, mouth-watering voice purrs into my ear, his lips softly brushing my cheek as his breath dances across my skin and causes heat between my legs The orb waxes and wanes before it snaps back to my body like a rubber band, I look into the shimmering silver eyes that ruined my concentration. He stands there chuckling to himself. I realize I have already moved into a defensive position, ready to fight and fend off any type of attack that comes my way.
I stare into the beautiful orbs as I demand “Why did you do that?”, he just stands there his eyes searching my body taking in every inch from my head to toe, I feel a shiver of pleasure as his gaze lingers on my breasts before it moves further down, I feel the blood rush through my veins as it makes its way to my face causing me to blush. “Well?” I whimper as he stares at my lips, his gaze wandering from my lips to my eyes as he takes a step closer to me. I can already feel the heat radiating off his body, causing my heart to skip a beat. I swallow the lump in my throat and close my eyes as he takes another step closer to me. It is plain to see what he wants in his gaze; my skin prickles with heat, and goosebumps start to appear as he brushes the stray strands of hair away from my face. My eyes spring open wide as he pushes his lips onto mine hungrily. Every fibre of my being is on edge, wanting more, needing more.
I succumb to the need and close my eyes my body unconciously leans into his chest uncontrollably craving the closeness, fire flows across my body wherever he touches as his hands stroke my arms and his fingers seem to play to rhythm only he can hear across my body, I feel so hot, I pull him closer as I fight the urge to jump onto him and never let him go, His touch is still playing the mesmerizing rhythm as he feels his way around my body.
His body feels so right against mine. I arch my back to get closer. One of his hands entwined in my hair while the other strokes my cheek. My knees tremble and weaken as he nibbles my lower lip his tongue stroking the places he nibbles teasing me, I let his tongue enter my mouth and our tongues dance as our bodies meld together it feels so right like he is a part of me that I needed but never knew I wanted. He feels like home.
We part with heaving breaths from the lack of oxygen. Our foreheads lean against one another, and my mind is racing to try to understand what had just happened and why I had let it happen. When I notice he is looking at me, captivated by the emotion that is happening in his eyes I get lost in them, after staring into what feels like each other’s souls for a while, he suddenly snaps his head up and stares into the darkness that surrounds us, it’s funny as I don’t recall it getting so dark, I follow his gaze only to see nothing.
He takes a step forward and pushes me behind him, letting out a deep growl my stomach churns and I feel frightened checking behind me I noticed we are very close to the edge I look around for solid ground and try to grab hold of him, there are so many questions that I have, so many questions that he should answer, my grasp is met with air I turn back to where he was only to realize that he was gone. Taking a cautious step forward, I am greeted with a steel cold glare in the darkness, I will never forget the piercing pair of forest green eyes that follow my every move.
My heart rate increases. I have nowhere to run. I am backed towards the cliff edge. If it comes closer, I will have to revert to my instinct. I take deep calming breathes, the eyes eventually disappear and I wait on bated breath, after what feels like an age I move away from the edge keeping my gaze on the spot in the darkness where they eyes were I move sideways in the direction of home.
Arriving home i slam the front door and rush upstairs to go to my room, ignoring the stares of my roommate. behind the safety of my bedroom door I push my back against it needing the support as I remember the kiss, my blood rushes through my body thinking of his Silver eyes and how his lips felt on mine, it makes me quiver with anticipation. A knock on the door pulls me from the thoughts, “Eva, the bathroom is free.” Ruenn yells at me through the door, “Thanks Ruenn.” I grab my stuff off of the desk and head towards the bathroom. Maybe a cold shower is needed for tonight.
The strange thing was I didn’t even know his name I have never met him before, but it felt like he was my whole. He completed me he felt safe and I have not felt safe in a long time, but now he’s gone… so many questions run through my brain, where did he go? What is his name? Why did he leave me without telling me his name? Who is he, and why does the thought of him feel like home? And why were those eyes staring at me afterwards?
