His Graceful Queen

The name

Hannah froze when her eyes met his and so did he. The looks they exchanged was like it made everyone else disappear, Hannah could only see him it was like all the sounds disappeared, only they existed in the world at that moment. There was this warm feeling spreading in her body, and then she panicked. She closed her eyes and broke the silence; all the sounds were back. She looked up at his grip around Bryans throat and said with a low but firm voice, “don’t hurt him” the green-eyed guy looked at her, but now his eyes were golden, then back at Bryan, he leaned forward so she couldn’t see what happened. But he must have said something because Bryans eyes looked like they wanted to tumble out of his head. He loosened his grip around Bryan, and Bryan fell to the floor. Hannah crossed the hall kneeled near Bryan but not so close that he could touch her she still could feel his hands on her boobs. “are you okay? do you need help going to the nurse’s office?” she asked friendly. Bryan looked at her grinned and said “a w***e like you should worry more about her upcoming birthday” Hannah heard someone moving, she instinctively knew green-eyed guy had heard what Bryan said. She also immediately knew that something bad was going to happen if she didn’t move. She moved between the green-eyed guy and Bryan, so she was facing the guy and had her back to Bryan “don’t “she said to the guy. “he just doesn’t know any better” the guy looked at her with surprise, as if she weren’t real. Then he grabbed her hard by the wrist and dragged her, Hannah didn’t know what to do, he seemed so angry, so she just followed, and truth to be told, she also liked the sparks on her skin. He walked so fast, so she had to run a little to follow him. But now she noticed his scent it was like the smell of forest after a new rain. It was the most amazing scent in the world, and it somehow calmed her mind which was racing. He dragged her into an empty classroom, and finally he stopped. He let go of her hand and she sighed, and used her other hand to gently rub the wrist he let go off, to ease it a bit. Then he began yelling at her “What the f… why did you stand up for him? He called you a w***e are you that kind of girl, that likes to be treated like dirt? Have you slept with him? His anger seemed to be explosive and Hannah pressed her body toward the table behind her, but she didn’t defend herself, she thought if he just kept yelling, then he would get all his anger out, she didn’t ask him to help her. She kept rubbing her wrist, it wasn’t like it still hurt, but it was comforting for the moment. He looked at her hands movement and let out an angry sound and smacked his fist into the wall. Hannah’s heart jumped and when she saw his hand bleed a little, she wanted to help and go check his knuckles, but he started pacing the room, so she decided to just wait a bit, watching his movements as a hawk. After a few moments he finally stopped, took a deep breath, looked at her and said. “did I hurt you” “no, not really Hannah answered him,”.

He closed his eyes, and let out a sigh, “don’t lie to me, I see the mark on your skin”

“there is no pain” Hannah answered him truly.

He sighed and mumbled to himself “that’s good, at least we didn’t hurt our mate”

Hannah heard him, but assumed he used the word as in friend or comrade, even though they didn’t really know each other, she didn’t even know his name.

“are you hurt?” she asked, “let me see your hands” He walked towards her, and she grabbed his hand carefully, His hands were big in her small hands, and a darker shade. If the word strong could be used about hands, then this is what strong hands would look like she thought. She felt small sparkles on her skin where their skin touched, it bled a little from the knuckles, she held his hand with one of her own carefully placed on each side “okay, can you stretch your fingers” He stretched his fingers.

“can you bend them?” he bends them.

“good! Nothing seems broken”. She dragged him towards the classroom sink, turned on the cold water and placed his hand under it, washing off the blood. Carefully she dried it with a paper cloth. But it looked like it was just a scraping.

She let out a sigh. “well you are lucky, seems like it was just a scraping. She looked at his face, their eyes locked again, her blue eyes and his emerald green. She doesn’t know how long they are standing like that, but suddenly the door opens and the 2 boys and the girl that had been a wall during the fight between the green-eyed guy and Bryan barged in.

Hannah looked at them; One of them was a tall, not as tall as Xander, but almost, dark-haired guy with brown eyes. The other one was a bit shorter but more buff, had short blond hair, green eyes and a tattoo of a wolf howling towards the moon on his left overarm and the girl had brown hair with blue stripes, that had been a wall during the fight.

“There you are Xander, we have been looking for you ”the blond guy said. The green-eyed guy, let his hand through his dark hair and didn’t answer, he walked past her and was almost out the door when she said “Xander is it? Thank you!” he stopped for a second “don’t mention it” he said and then he left. She heard the school bell, “oh dammit” she said began running. Luckily the next class was with her favourite teacher so she was pretty sure she wouldn’t get in trouble for being two minutes late.
