Wild Fire

Quick tip, i might be switching between point of views. Mostly Orion and Raven though.

..Orion..

I saw her today again. The girl from my math class. When I first sat next to her I was immediately hit with the sweetest scent of ice accord, sage and a hint of the sea. I had inhaled deeply like a starved man almost leaning in and sniffing her like a dog.
But I knew she would freak out so I sat still.

But then I could feel her eyes on me. Those chocolate iris's burning my skin as they raked my body unashamedly.
I was shocked at first by her boldness but then after the teacher had called her out on her behavior and the look of shock and realization passed over her face, I knew she wasn't aware of her inspection of me. She had did it out of instinct.

There was just something about her though. At first when I looked at her I thought she was the one. But then when I touched her it was like there was a mental block stopping me from reaching in and finding what I was supposed to.
Master Mikeal had said when I touched her for the first time I would know she was the one.
But this girl, whoever she was had drawn me In Immediately but when I touched her skin I felt nothing. But that didn't stop me from wanting her.

The feeling was maddening and I didn't know if I wanted to hit everything in my path or just throw myself over a cliff and die. But knowing it wouldn't kill me I pushed all thoughts of that away. Trust me I've tried.

Avalanche and I have been looking for her for a very long time. But he had been sent to earth earlier before me and had been here for almost 10 years. I would come join him for a while but would go back to my realm to fulfill my duties as the crown prince. It was then decided that at the age of 19 I would go to earth In search of her myself. Our last stop was here in california after I had felt a very strong pull towards the city. Avalanche decided to score it for a year before I was ready to come and now that I arrived we could do it together.
But it seemed everytime I was close to the creature it would immediately disappear and I wouldn't feel anything.
I started to wonder if it could feel me too but I guess that wasn't the case because I would feel it once again the it would repeat the same process.

So when I had first met her I was immediately drawn to her but the moment I touched her I felt nothing at all it was like a withdrawal of some sorts and it was really getting on my nerves.

My gut was telling me she was the one but my soul refused. It couldn't identify her.

I hadn't told Avalanche about my encounter with the enchanting girl which I have figured is far from human. If my theories were right she was some sort of sea creature also. I couldn't pinpoint if she was a siren or mermaid because the call of both their voices were potent. I did think about telling him later though but after I was sure of what creature she was. So when we had caught her staring at us after our argument about me always hiding myself. I couldn't resist moving towards her and I knew Avalanche felt it too because he was already walking ahead of me. I noticed he already knew her but I didn't dwell on the thought too much because he was obviously very popular here. So when he had introduced us I was glad I could finally put a name to the face.

Raven...that's what he had called her. But for some strange reason another name kept ringing in my head.

Ravena...

We had stared at each other for the longest time and I couldn't deny her shameless staring once again did things to my insides and when she had called my name that's when I almost lost it. She had said it in such a sexy drawl stressing the word as if testing the feel of it in her mouth. The most powerful wave of lust washed over me and I'm sure she noticed from the way my eyes had gone darker. I had to reign my inner beast in and stop myself from reaching out to her, throwing her over my shoulder and having my way with her.
It took everything in me but I was able to do it. And I didn't like how Avalanche looked at her too. It was as he wanted her for himself. The feeling of seeing them together didn't sit well with me. The tenseness between them was also noticable. I didn't know if she disliked or liked him. It was hard to tell.

After I had calmed down she and her friend left and I was once again standing with Ave. He stared at me an eyebrow raised in question. I told him I would tell him later and he hurrumped. Both of us walking to our classes.

I had gym class last period. And apparently I couldn't miss any of my classes since it was just my first week here. So I had to suck it up and attend.

Avalanche was the captain of a football team. A game played in this mundane world. I remembered we used to play something like that back at home but it was called Raveball and we used balls of fire. Certainly more dangerous and competitive than whatever these humans play. No wonder he was their star. I scoffed and rolled my eyes pulling at the strings of my grey sweatpants. I'm sure he likes all the attention. He's always being the most confident amongst the both of us. I sometimes wonder why he wasn't the chosen one instead I was burdened with this curse.

Yes I saw it as a curse. Being shoved into adulthood at a very young age as my peers were still playing tag wasn't very entertaining.

I didn't chose to be born, I didn't chose to be the chosen. But no matter what I understood. This was my fate, I just had to live with it.

A pat on my shoulder pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up at Avalanche who was standing above me all sweaty and gross with a bottle of water in his hand.
I scrunched my nose at the smell. Damn my powerful senses.

"Fuck man, you reek." I drawled out monotonously. His laugh rang out around us attracting longing and flirtatious looks from girls. I rolled my eyes at this.
What's with these women and being horny all the time. I swear I could smell their arousal from a mile away.
Avalanche totally ignored me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder sitting next to me on the bleachers. I flung his arm of but he still returned it. I sighed deciding to just let it lay there.

"What's got your knickers in a twist." He asked amusement dancing in he's eyes.

I was about to tell him to fuck off when the sweet smell of ice accord and sage invaded my nostrils.
My head immediately snapped up towards the tracks were the scent originated. I noticed Avalanche doing the same.

It was her. Raven.

She had her hair in a pony tail. Ringlets already falling out. She had on cute white shorts and a sports bra. Leaving her toned stomach exposed.
Because of my enhanced eye sight i caught sight of something reflecting on her bellybutton. Was that a piercing?
As she turned fully in the track and made eye contact with me i almost groaned.

That was definitely a piercing.
