The Hunted

Chapter 9 ~ Elexis

I squinted my eyes in hope they would magically magnify the animal calendar across from my room. Nothing, just a blur of colours, not long till my birthday yet I haven't gained anything super natural.

Argh! I sighed that means I have to get out of bed! I got up and threw my favourite fluffy robe on, it was raining outside and the cold fills my body quick. The thought of camping in the rain made me cringe. The calendar stated only 4 more days till my birthday, and 3 more days till Dylan and I go camping, so that brings me too today, another day of packing for the long weekend. Dylan usually made it more exciting anyways, in fact he should be here soon... I tapped my finger on my non-existing watch.

I was happy mum agreed to let me have Monday and Tuesday off. I walked to my mirror and mimicked my mothers actions. "I don't know about this one Elexis, two days off school!" I pointed my finger at my reflection. "Fine then, but no more then that," I did some wild arm gestures, hmmm not bad I impressed myself.

I struck a couple poses, "ouhh," I stuck my right foot to the side, "ahhh." I always wonder what people thought of me, what people saw when they looked at me.
A monster? A girl? A typical teen? I wouldn't know, and I don't actually want to know, they might see a majestic animal, well the real me. I stared at my clumsy reflection, I hated my eyes, brown. Nothing attractive, a knock on my door startled me, almost causing a minor heart attack.

"Darling? You awake yet?" Mums voice was muffled, "Dylan's here."

"Yeah tell him to come up, thanks mum!" I called out.

"You're having the door open Elexis!" I heard her tired feet thump down the stairs.

Well at least he's allowed in I told myself, mums loosening up abit. I actually think she's starting to like Dylan. I heard heavy footsteps make their way up the set of stairs. Dylan's sun kissed face appeared around the corner.

"You can come in," I told him as I laughed at his head poking around the corner.

"I have an early birthday presentfor you Princess," his mouth curved as he gestured to me to come over.

"Princess?" I giggle, I like that. I walked over, standing 3 feet in front of him.

"Closerrrr," he purred, his voice was low and sexy. I stepped forward. His body emerged from around the corner, suddenly his warm body embraced my own, he planted warm kisses on my bare face.

I felt his hands slide down my body until he reached my butt and grabbed gently, he smiled and looked into my eyes as he scooped me up in his arms, "you have the prettiest eyes," he whispered as he carried me towards my bed.

Whoa, it's almost like he knew what I was thinking. I giggled as his lips adventured my neck and collarbones.
