Behind The Scars(ON HOLD)

chapter 5

Aria’s POV:

Who did mom mean by “ They are here” before we left.

I wondered as I reluctantly followed Damon to our room. We came to huge red oak double doors. The handles made of solid gold. Damon walked over and held open the door chuckling. The room inside was decked in black and white. Black walls( I loved) white and black comforters, white couch, black carpet, perfect. Wow. There were glass double doors on the far wall leading to a balcony. I sighed and started to unpack. Damon came up from behind me and hugged me to his chest.

“What’s wrong love?” he asked. I nudged him in the ribs causing him to release me from his grasp.

“Owww!” he hissed in pain, holding his side.

“ Don’t touch me without permission.” I growled. Putting clothes in my dresser drawer.

“That’s going to be tough when we are sharing a bed.” Damon smirked, his smile widening.

“I’m sleeping on the floor.” I told him, making his aura turning into a depressing mood. Then there was silence. I felt restless after I packed. I changed into a set of pajamas that held a skull and cross bone pattern. Damon’s gaze followed me as I walked outside to the balcony. A dense forest surrounded the house and summer night fireflies flickered amongst the trees.

“I’m going exploring. I’ll be back later.” I called nonchalantly over my shoulder before jumping off the balcony. I landed softly in the grass blades and followed the fireflies into the forest. Their lights were flickering in an almost perfect line ,as if they were leading me somewhere.

I was taken into a small meadow. It was peaceful here. I took a seat on a boulder next a bubbling stream. I watched the fireflies in the meadow continuing their mateing dance. Tension in the air changed, I knew the cause.

“Draven?” I whispered hopefully.

“Yes?” he whispered in my ear, tickling my skin. Currently I couldn’t see him, he was in his invisible form. Probably in case Damon came looking for me, I predicted. His invisible arms hugged me as the last of the fireflies stopped flickering. Then a swooshing sound and we were surrounded by a swarm of ninjas. Shits about to go down, I thought to myself.

All of a sudden I felt like I was being compressed. I felt two hearts beating as one. Trust me? Draven’s voice echoed in my head. Yes. There was a pull in my gut as energy sprouted from my pores. Now I was floating in a red orb, the orb protected me and fought off the ninjas. Damon and my mother then joined the fight, the ninjas were easily defeated. Draven left and I fell to the ground ,weak from the loss of energy.

Then I blacked out.
