Between Worlds

Between Worlds - Chapter 5

# Samantha #

It was so damn warm and comfy here that I just couldn’t bring myself to open my eyes. Even though I had had a pretty good sleep the previous night I still felt dog tired. The last thing I remembered was gazing at Ariamis, but then how did I get so comfy. Maybe I had just dreamt Ariamis up and I was still in my awesomely warm and comfortable bed at home. Yup that explained it. But that’s when I heard a sound I wouldn’t normally hear in my room at all: someone snoring right next to me, I knew for a fact that Carson wouldn’t be in my room unless he wanted to die a slow and painful death caused solely by me. Then who was it, guess only one way to find out. .

I opened my eyes to Ariamis’s sleeping face, I realised it was him who was snoring. Shrugging I closed my eyes, getting ready to go back to sleep. But then it hit me, I was in Ariamis’s lap, that’s why his face was over me and I really wasn’t going to be back in my own bed anytime soon. My eyes flew open and I gave him a hard shove hoping to be able to put as much distance between us as possible, but somehow, even though he was fast asleep just minuets back he managed to get his body underneath mine so as to cushion my fall. Both of us let out an ‘oof’ as we landed on the ground. Ariamis’s back was towards the ground so that we were face to face; his arms were wrapped around my waist holding me securely to him. Both of us just stayed there staring at each other.

Suddenly I felt myself leaning down towards him; he somehow was leaning up towards me to. Just when our lips were inches apart the door burst open and I heard a sickening screech, like that of a vulture or some other huge and angry bird. I looked up just in time to see an extremely angry girl – dressed like a complete slut, which I had no doubt she was – stalking towards us with her hands on her waist. Both of us just stayed were we were staring at the girl “who the hell do you think you are?” she asked, turns out she was the one who had let out the shriek since her voice wasn’t that far from a shriek at what I was assuming was her normal tone.

Before I could even answer she grabbed my hair, yanking me up by it, I let out a yelp as she held on fast, I reached up and clawed at her hands, tears coming to my eyes as she held on fast. I continued to claw at her hands, which seemed to have no effect on her, the tears now running down my face I kept up a steady stream of yelps and curse words all through, suddenly Aaron was standing at the door, “let her go!” he yelled but she held on fast. Suddenly a voice which held so much power and authority in it that the everyone seemed to stop what they were doing when he spoke, rang out “LET HER GO!!!” immediately the hand holding my hair let go and I fell to the floor, utterly humiliated. I looked at Ariamis who had a cold, shrewd mask on his face as he looked uncaringly at the girl; Aaron next to him had a worried expression on as he looked at me. “What do you think you’re doing Sasha?” Ariamis asked, oh so her name was Sasha. “I . . .” she stopped not knowing what to say to him, as ha stared her down, the cold mask still in place.

Then he turned his gaze towards me, and if it was even possible his expression turned even colder. But he didn’t say anything, instead he turned around, his coat billowing out behind him as he stalked off, Aaron gave me an apologetic look and then hurried after his brother. “Ariamis is mine, stay away from him” Sasha said from behind me. I turned around, anger and humiliation burning inside of me; getting to me feet I continued staring at her. I knew that my face was probably an impassive mask but inside I was raging at her, one for actually being able to make to cry, two for her hurting me so badly that my scalp still hurt, three for humiliating me in front of Aaron and Ariamis not that I cared what they thought but I didn’t want them to think that it was easy to make me cry; and a small part of me was also mad at her for interrupting Ariamis and I, but this part was very small. I continued to watch her like a lion watched its prey. Then without even thinking, in raised my hands straight out towards either side of me palms facing forwards.
