She's Worth It

Chapter 2

Shadow's P. O. V.

No! Don't come near me! You'll kill me if you do, I shouted in my head. But that has no use here. He can't hear me if I say it in my head. He walked faster and soon reached me. He got down to me and said. "Are you okay?". I slightly shook my head. Another big mistake. He picked me up and walked straight out of the classroom, not minding the calls from Mrs Murray. Bad boy helping a girl that collapsed in the middle of class. Strange thing to see. He carried me all the way to the nurses office. He put me down on her bed so she can examine me. My skin burned where he touched me. It was an odd feeling. My stomach turned as he stared at me with that same emotion he had in class. I almost threw up my breakfast on the ground. I barely had time to make it to the bathroom. I heard footsteps behind me, felt the need grow stronger, but I tell Chris to go away. He was only trying to help. I saw him stand in the arch way of the door. He was getting sick just looking at me, yet he still came inside and held my hair. When I was done he gave me a paper towel. I washed and wiped my mouth. The need grew weak. I don't know what happened but just one minute I was ready to throw up again and the other he didn't need anyone to love. It felt like, now that he takes care of me, he doesn't need anyone to love. But it didn't matter right now. The important thing was, it passed. "Are you okay now?" Chris asked. His voice was cold like ice but I could see the sadness in his eyes. "Yes. Thank you." I said slowly and quietly. "Good. What happened?" he asked, his voice still cold. "I don't know. I got a virus." I said uncertain. "Yeah obviously." he said and looked away. We sat in silence. The nurse came back and asked me how I'm feeling and I said okay. Christopher was quiet. He didn't go back to class. He looked like he was thinking about something intensely. It was only when the bell rang, he finally came back to reality. He hurried out of the office not looking at me. That was good. I remembered what Mirrana said. Don't shoot him, I repeated. I mustn't. Good thing was I won't interact with him any more. He was to mean for me. His ice cold voice made me shiver. His grey eyes glared in my soul. I felt like he could see my wings through me. Not possible but still. The nurse told me I should go home, so I did. I took the bus. As soon as I came to my flat I laid in my bed and fell asleep. In my dreams Mirrana visited me again. "What happened Shadow?" she asked worried. "I don't know. His emotions were to strong for me. I couldn't... It took me a lot of strength not to show my wings in class and not to shoot him." I replied sincerely. "But you were so strong in your training." she insisted. "I know. Earth just has more emotion than I expected. Queen Mirrana? Shouldn't I just go back? It's obvious I can't handle this." I said quietly. "No. No way. You will not quit. You are far too strong and persistent." she replied firmly. "Okay. I'll stay. But what should I do about Christopher?" I asked. "Nothing. You will get use to him soon enough." she said softly. I nodded and woke up. This is going to be hard. 

Christopher's P. O. V.

I had a strange feeling in my stomach throughout the day. I couldn't help thinking I had something to do with that girl collapsing in the middle of class. The minute I looked at her she fell to the floor and I could see in her eyes that she didn't want me to help her. What was her name again? Why can't I remember? I don't even remember when she came to our class. Just one day she was there. Did she even say her name? There was something weird about her. She wasn't like all others. She kept to herself, never said a word and was practically invisible. I was sitting on a bench in Hyde Park. The one thing I need to remember now is her name. Then comes all the rest. For the first time in days I'm alone. It's nice to have silence for once. I sighed. The sun was setting and I watched as the shadows grew longer. Shadow! That's her name. It's a weird name for a person. Well she isn't a normal person. I decided. Shadow will somehow be mine. Even if that means to change who I am. I just felt different around her. I'm going to find out who she really is.
