“WHEN THE STARS TWINKLE”

CHAPTER 1:

Enchanted To Meet You

[Narrator]

Elliott beat his striking gray wings around him and the mysterious lady he held in his arms. Who was she? Where did she come from? These questions kept popping in his head. More importantly.. What was she? He had no idea what to do at the moment. They were in the middle of the night sky. Watched by the moon and dwelling among the stars. He already tried to shake her so she would wake but nothing happened. It was like she was under a spell, or something. He decided to find a nearby place that had water. He dived down to grasp his coat and zoomed away

As he was shooting across the sky, his eyes skimmed the trees and towns, looking for a river, a stream, a well..? No, too creepy. Who knows maybe a girl with freakishly long hair would crawl out of that. The city was full of lights and silent cars. It was past twelve and the streets were spacious and clean. He dropped lower and his eyes caught sight of something gleaming silver under the moonlight and he quickly swerved and descended. It was a wishing fountain in a middle of a bricked park full of round lanterns and benches around the outer lines of the square.

“Here we go.” He breathed as they landed with a soft thump on the gray bricked ground. The fountain had a statue of cupid in the middle and water shooting out of his three arrows. Its silvery clear waters with golden and silver coins reflected the full moon above.

He retracted his mighty wings a bit to make it easier to move and hoisted the girl to sit on the edge of the fountain. He scooped a handful of water and splashed it onto her face. She did not move. He ladled another handful and let it pour down her glistening cheeks. And she shifted. He completely recoiled his wings and ran his right hand through her hair to fix it and murmured softly against her ear, “Hey. Wake up.” She did not move.

 Ah. I know now, he thought mischievously as he chuckled. “Let’s see if you’ll wake up this way.”

 He led his long and slender fingers to her nose and pinched for a few seconds, blocking the mysterious girl’s airway. She opened her mouth and gasped for air.  Quickly, her aquamarine flecked eyes fluttered open and kept blinking, adjusting the view of the man in front of her. The stars and the moon gave her enough illumination to make out the gorgeous blur in front of her. “W-what—“

She remained still with what she was seeing. Through her eyes, all she saw was this beautiful being, holding her up and practically glowing in front of her under the moonlit skies. The man had glossy jet black hair, tantalizing gray eyes, and luscious rose colored lips. Despite of him trying to suffocate her, she actually found him attractive. Before she could speak..

“Are you an angel?”  Elliott drew his face closer and chose his words carefully.

“Whoa. What?”  The chocolate haired girl replied with surprise written across her face, “I’m flattered.” She suddenly giggled a sound that sent him warm ripples along his skin.

“No. I’m serious,” His face was straight and his deep set gray eyes practically dissected her innocent ones. She found it disarming. “Are you an angel?”

“I.. I’m sorry. I don’t really know. I’m pretty surprised myself why I’m here. Where am I anyway? And how did I … get here..?” She was still lying on his lean arms as she brought her eyes down to his body. His toned abs, lean & well-built arms, and perfectly carved body made her heart beat faster. She yelped and brought her frantic hands up to her eyes. “Who are you anyway? And put some clothes on. Geez.”She frowned a bit when she peeked to hide her blushing cheeks.
