Scribbling away at my notes feeling a pair of eyes at the back of my hands.
I swear Every-time I sit down I feel as though someone is staring into me.
Rather unnerving if you ask me.
The wind blew through my open tree house window and my ears pricked for any sudden noises.
To be completely honest I have no clue who would in-fact want to follow me around like this.
The plan was simple.
I would sneak out and pretend to be gardening close to my house. Nothing can foul my ears.

I placed down what I was holding as though not to bring any unwanted attention. Standing up from my chair by the window as I normally would and happily walking out of my little house among the trees.
I climbed down the ladder and towards the garden.
Out of the corner of my eye I watched a clocked figure glide into my house.
I could hear them writing something down peaking my curiosity even further.
Eyeing the figure as it sneaked out of my home and down the leafy trail.

Immediately jumping up and scrabbling up the ladder to see what that creep did.
To my surprise everything looked normal. Cautiously sneaking around my own home until I came in contact with my notes.
I saw what. Corrections?? In my notes.
I was taken aback.
What on earth did this person want from me.
This was getting out of hand.
After thinking for a solid half an hour, deciding to sleep it off and confront the person in the morning.
I slide into bed and dreamt of all of tomorrows possibilities.

(Tighnari's dream)
"Who are you?? What do you want with me?"
The figure kept darting around my bedroom as I sat up in bed.
My breath quickened. Feeling my ears flop and my cheeks cool.
My bedroom was clouded in a thick darkness with only the dim light of the moon shining through the leafy curtains that swung in the breeze.
My eyes dashed from wall to wall plant pot to desk.
Turning my head to see the figure next to me. Only one eye in sight staring down at me. Crimson red and full of warmth made me feel rather tingly.
For some reason it didn't frighten me.
The figure suddenly vanished into a flash of lightning.

I woke up in a sweat of panic.
Recounting my dream and shaking like I had a fever.
I was more nervous then I thought about confronting this person.
It terrified me to my core.
After taking a couple deep breaths I got out of my bed to get ready for the day.
After my casual errands and some breakfast I proceeded to walk beside the bank and listen for this so called stalker.
The sound of the moss and grass under my shoes was magical.
The forest was truely my home to appreciate.
I definitely belonged hear rather then at the academia.
Lost in my thoughts and watching the clouds dance in the sky.
My ears pricked at a cracking twig behind me. I startled myself out of my thoughts and turned around.

"Whose there-r! Come out right now!" I
stammered.

I watched a shift in the bush closest to the hill. A figure about my height slightly taller cloaked in a large black robe emerged from the bush. The person just stood there.
I couldn't see their face nor any limbs.
I was frozen and to scared to move.
Time itself felt like a trap.
I watched as the figure stepped out of the bush and closer to me.
I was still frozen I couldn't move. My god Tighnari move!
I screamed in my head. The person reached for their hood and pulled it off.
A wave of light hit me like a tornado.

Holy fu-king shit...

My cheeks felt like fire.
I watched as the silky white hair dropped from the side of his face and gently breezed in the wind.
His eyes were a bright crimson red with the hint of mischief and warmth hidden behind them.
Tanned skin like of the people of the dessert and the face of a god.
I felt myself shake I was so embarrassed how could a person this attractive show any interest in me?
He stepped a little closer. "Are you okay?" He spoke reaching out towards my face.
Oh my even his voice is hot lord help me. Crossing my arms "No I am fine" I forced a calm face.
My bright cheeks and the shaking couldn't foul anyone though.
He placed his hand on my forehead.
"Your awfully red"
looking into my eyes with genuine concern.
I almost melted he was to close to me.
"Earth to Tighnari?" He spoke waving the hand Infront of my eyes.
To close to close to close oh my archons. I saw black.
The sun pierced through my curtains and directly into my eyes.
I was in my bed tucked in.
I turned to my left adjusting to the new light seeing the boy napping on the chair next to my bed. I studied his features from head to toe.
He was still cloaked in that huge robe I didn't know what to think.
I inches closer sliding out of bed.
Staring at his face.
I wonder if his hair is smooth.
DAMN TIGHNARI what are you thinking?? He's a random creep that was following you around.
He's not totally drop dead gorgeous.
Who knows he might be ugly that's why he has a robe.
Yeah that's it. Your smart Nari.
He opened one of his eyes. "EEP" I shrieked back onto my bed.
"Finally decided to wake up?" He smiled a sweet smile.
Oh my heart couldn't take this. "Who are y-you!"
I held out a pillow to defend my innocence from this hunk of a man.
He rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Well let's just say I'm important" he spoke softly.
"Take off the robe so I know what your hiding!" I replied narrowing my eyes to seem more serious.
Not like I was losing my mind. He giggled. Oh my archons.
"Why wanna see what's underneath or something? Rather bold if you ask me".
I turned a deep red.
"NO you creep that's not what I meant!"
I covered my face with my pillow.
I heard a loosening of fabric and a jingle of metal.
I closed my eyes and removed the pillow from my face.
"Don't be silly just open your eyes"
I felt a pain on my nose as he flicked it.
I brought my hands to my nose and opened my eyes.
Holy... oh archons.. I have sinned..
I scanned his toned body from head to toe looking like a lost kitten.
My brain was completely clouded.
I don't know how I didn't recognise him before. General Mahamarta in the flesh.
