~,.•Elei Miula Ney'Sullis Point Of View•.,~

I hid behind a few sea plants to avoid the akula that's literally hunting me. Now that I think of it? I'm always getting hunted by someone or something.

I looked around trying my best to see, but beyond the reef there is hardly any bioluminescence so it was kind of dark.

My lungs began to burn because I was losing air so I decided to make a run for it, I swam up as fast as I could when suddenly I heard a low wailing noise. I turned my head and nearly shit myself when I seen the akula charging me.

I swiftly grabbed my knife from the holder across my chest and stood my ground, just as I was about to lunge at it I felt a hand grab my arm instantly pulling me out of the way of the predators sight.

Once my head was above water I coughed while desperately gasping for air. "Aonung get off of me you skawng!" I yanked my arm out of his grasp. "Elei are you okay?" A man frantically questioned.

I felt my eyes widen at the voice that was definitely not Aonungs. I turned around and seen roxto with reddened eyes, "roxto? Did you follow us?" I stared at him as he checked my body for any wounds. "We have to go now Elei I mean it" he spoke with such urgency before tightly gripping my arm and mounting his skimwing.

"Roxto we have to find aonung we can't just leave him here?" I looked around trying my best to not puke from how scared I was. "He went back already" Roxto reached back and placed his hand on my thigh as the skimwing dove under water swimming as fast a the current would allow it to.

                             ~•.'Awa'atlu village'.•~

I sat in roxtos marui while he tended to my wound, "ow roxto I see why men are never tsahik" I hissed.  The pain from my deep cut burned like it was the opening to the gates of hell.

Roxtos face remained blank despite the many times ive tried cracking jokes. "Why were you with aonung beyond the reef? Do you not remember what he did to lo'ak?" His forehead creased showing how focused he was.

I looked down at his necklace trying to think of an explanation "he's my mate roxto he would never leave me there to die" I scoffed. He's been acting like a grandpa lately and I'm so tired of it.

His icy blue eyes snapped up "he left your brother for dead what makes you think he will not do the same to you?" His accent thickened slightly. I watched him closely trying to read his body language, "he loves me? He would never do that so quit being an ass about it " I began humming to myself while shifting in my spot.

Roxto shook his head before wiping off his hands on a brown piece of cloth, "that you call love huh?" He questioned as he tilted his head to the side, "he abandoned you at a young age with a baby, he hides you from everyone, he only comes to you for one thing, when's the last time you two had date night?" His nostrils flared as he tilted his head the other way.

My heart ached because he was right, if aonung truly loved me then why would he hide me? I sucked in some air before letting out a shaky breath "i guess it's hard to love someone like me?" My nose began to burn as fresh tears swelled up into my fatigued eyes. Roxto clicked his tongue and shook his head "it tis not hard to love someone like you" he stated.

I used the palm of my hand to wipe my eyes, "I'm a freak, alien, outcast, demon blood, and that's why he hides me, he's embarrassed of me?" My lips trembled. I felt my heart strings snap one, by one. Roxto placed his hand on my knee while looking me dead in the eyes, "others hate you for that, but I love you for all of it Elei" his voice cracked slightly.

I placed my cold hand on top of his warm one. "You don't mean that?" I whispered trying to ignore my heart rate accelerating. The palms of my hands grew sweaty with every second that the room was silent. I felt his warm hands grab my waist pulling me closer to him.

I couldn't look into his eyes no matter how much I wanted to, "i know words do not mean much to you so i will show you i mean it" he murmured while gently sliding one of his hands up to my chin forcing me to look him in the eyes.

The moment my eyes met with his moonlight like one's shivers crawled up my spine causing my breath to hitch in my throat . "Roxto" I choked out the only thing my body would allow me to say. He smiled a bit before asking "can I do my dare now?"

I felt my eyes widen at the realization that I was the woman he had eyes for.

In that moment I felt true joy...

I nodded slowly not blinking once, soon the gap between us was closed. His warm soft lips collided with mine as we passionately embraced each other.

His hands ran through my hair as our warm breaths mixed together, my body warmed up from how amazing his lips felt. He tasted like a yovo fruit from back home, I tilted my head to the side as I ran my hands down his toned back.

He pulled away and rested his forehead on mine. We both panted heavily as we tried to catch our breaths. I kept my eyes closed taking in every second. "I love you" I blurted out causing him to chuckle. "I love you too elei, you're  the prettiest forest girl I know"

My wounded soul finally healed, I would never bleed onto anyones spirit ever again...
