Maybe In Our Next Life

Contd

"I stand by the fact that you're crazy" Yvaine whispered but it sounded more like a yell than a whisper

They walked past a paved path in the mansion that had tulips on its sides 

"Its called being adventurous" Zephyr said as they bent their past the zinc pad that covered the path towards their journey 

"careful" he continued stretching his hands towards Yvaine's waist, and lifting her through past the big log that laid few feets from the ground 

"thank you" she whispered 

"I think you forget that I can get killed for being here so late at night" Yvaine said lifting her gown to jump the rocks "and besides are there not any other clear paths to follow this is dangerous, the woods is dangerous" she said 

"there are but we don't want you getting caught or worse killed  now do we" he joked 

"you know I think its your wish to have my neck by a sword and I think you might get it soon" she said busying her self with the obstacles that nature laid on her path 

" then why are following me" zephyr said halting so abruptly, Yvaine crashed slowly into him but he gently catches  her by her arm and she stables her self 

why was she following him really , even Yvaine wondered 

" okay so we're hear" he continued clearly the path for Yvaine to see where their final destination was 

"Its a shed...what are...whats this ...shed...all this for a plain shed" Yvaine said bemused 

"It not what lies in front of it ..its behind it" Zephyr laughed walking towards the shed and lifting its door open

"ok..ay...and what treasure  lays behind the shed"  she said following behind  him

"this ..." zephyr said motioning Yvaine eyes towards an object  

"what's this...an art of some sort" she had recalled seeing something similar during her little adventure to the hidden garden but she knew not what it was.

"art?....no" zephyr says going towards a dock behind a station to fetch its keys and after,  he inserts the keys into the port, kicking its  ignition to a start

"ahh its roars....it's a still object but it roars " Yvaine shouts startled 

"hahahaha...come on in"

"what's that?" Yvaine says untrusting of Zephyr intentions

"Its an automobile....its a new invention..only a few nobles have them but they have to trade some sort of allegiance with colonies to get them" Zephyr says   opening its door for Yvaine 

right, the nobles were selling more of venemon to those selfish bastards  Thought Yvaine 

"why would I want to be part of something that's tearing families apart...take me back at once!" Yvaine warns 

"You know I also thought like that too..thats why I stole it from my fathers shed.." he says as he bends towards her like he were speaking to a child and continues " whether you like It or not I don't think the portioning would be ending any time soon..why deny yourself of the adventure when those who cause the very pain to our land enjoy them..its only foolish to abstain at this point" he said hoping that what he said had changed her mind and it had. 

" only this time...." Yvaine said hoping she meant it 

"okay..now in we go" he said re-opening the doors for Yvaine 

"ready?"

"I hope so"

"okay" he said excitedly, too excited for Yvaine's skeptical heart

With that the engine  roared and the vehicle sped out of the shed and into the cold night 

Yvaine could not believe the speed of the once inanimate object, the cold air kissed her face in a way that  almost made her breathless, and nature sped by her quickly as the vehicle ran past it, she saw the trees briefly, its leaves briefly, its flowers briefly. and also the moon chased after her! To Yvaine this had to be one to the best thing her lowlife being could ever experience, she believed that it was the part of it all, for once in her she felt that she wasn't chasing after something, her sanity but it was chasing after her.

Amazing  she thought 

she looked towards zephyr and he also seemed to love the experience, he smiled as he raved the car over and over increasing its speed before looking over to her and smiling, a smile that held a hint of gratitude behind it, something she didn't miss but she was more grateful

it was something she had never experienced, and she didn't hate saying yes to zephyr even though her conscience judged her for experiencing something the lowlife could never even dream of 

zephyr came at a stop near a cliff, the scene she observed before her was breathing-taking, it was just before sunrise and the orange sun laying on the horizon had just began to come up

"wow" she whispered, so excitedly she did not noticed she was holding onto zephyr bare arm, and her awe  seemed more intriguing to him than the scene  in front of them. this wasn't his first time after all, but it was his first time experiencing it with someone else and he seemed to love the company more than the scene, in a way he could not explain 

"this is.. unhinged..." Yvaine said dazed 

"I think beautiful will do" Zephyr said still staring intently at her

"yes." she said breaking her gaze away from the scene to find zephyr staring at her 

the scene or me ?...weird Yvaine thought

"so...theres this thing coming up ... a party of some sort for my natal day"

"natal day?" laughed Yvaine

"weird choice of words?"

"barely" she replied looking back at the scene, she promised herself to absorb every bit of this experience before she woke up from her mind made fantasy

"I can't" she continued but this time taking her focus back to zephyr 

"please" he said and his eyes, there was something in his eyes that made it hard to say no

they held their stare for longer than necessary without even noticing but then Yvaine remembered

mother !

"oh my gosh I have to get back" she said jumping out of the vehicle 

"It has doors you know" 

"I have to get back...ill see you never" Yvaine joked running towards home

"I could drop you off!" zephyr yelled 

"and be risked being seen with you...no thank you"  Yvaine yelled back excitedly looking back to take in the scene one last time

"bye my damsel" zephyr whispered to no one but himself as he stared at her retreating figure .
