FALLING ~ W.M. - J.H.

Wanda's POV

I met him more times, almost every day he was always running in front of my house and we alwaya spent time talking. He was very nice and kind, I loved spending time with him. Jasper was always so nice with me and he always smiled, making me smile too sometimes. It was like a light in my dark world.

A couple of months later Jasper was again in front if my house but from his look I could sense something qas wrong.

-Hi, is everything ok?- I asked exiting the house.

-Hi- he said -I was wondering, are you busy tomorrow evening?-.

What? Why would he ask me that?

-Why? Do you want to go on a date with me?- I asked smiling -Isn't it a bit early?-.

He laughed, understanding I was being sarcastic.

-No, I... Well I would love to go out with you one night but... the fact is that...- he said.

I looked at him, waiting for him to finish talking but it was as if he couldn't speak anymore.

I approached, smiling.

-I would love to go out with you- I said -It is what you wanted to ask, right?-

-I... Yeah- he said smiling.

And that's how, the next evening, I found myself doing a pic nic in the middle of the forest with him.

-You told me you don't like being in crowded places so I though a pic nic just you and I would be nice- Jasper said smiling.

-I love it- I said.

How did I end there? Two months before I was being an evil witch and now I was there having dinner with a guy and felt... felt as if I was human.

-Aren't you eating?- I asked.

-No, I... I'm fine- he said -Just not hungry-.

We, well I, started eating and talking. It was good feeling human again, it seemed as if nothing happened, as if everything was normal.

-What?- I asked noticing him staring at my hands.

-Why the gloves?- he asked.

-Well... I hate my hands- I said -They don't look good-.

-Can I?- he asked.

He took my hand and slowly removed the glove; his hands were cold, as if they were frozen.

-Your hands are cold- I said.

-Yeah, I... I have always had them like that, I don't know why- he said smiling -What happened to your hands? Your fingertips are dark-.

-Yeah... Long story- I said and tried to hide them but he kept my hand in his, removing the glove from the other one too.

-I guess we both have a dark past- Jasper said -But I don't want to know yours if you don't want to tell me-.

-I did bad things- I said -Killed people-.

-Me too- he said.

I looked at him. I was suspicious about him being human, my powers sensed he was different. But was I ready to know the truth?

-What ia the real reason why you asked me out tonight?- I asked.

-It was... Dangerous where you live tonight, there was a hunt- he said -I want to keep you out all of this-.

He looked again at my hands and closed his more around mine, as if he wanted to protect them, heal them.

-I'm dying- I said and he looked at me -That dark on my fingers, it is dark magic slowly devouring me-.

-Magic?- he asked.

I nodded and on my hand a red hex ball appeared.

-I am a witch, I have chaos magic- I explained -I'm... I'm dangerous-.

I stood and walked away from him. -You should be scared of me, I... I could hurt you-.

I turned around, tears in my eyes. It was better this way, if he stated away from me he would have been safer.

I expectes hin ti leave, instead he approached smiling.

-You won't hurt me- he said -I trust you-.
