Fey Academy

Chapter 10

Hello

This chapter is all over the place, and i'm not sure if it's too much soo soon in their relationship. I had some of my first writers block while making this chapter, but after that everything just came to me. Luckily the writers block didn't last for long.

The water in the lake sparkled as the moonlight hit it. It was as bright as a thousand diamonds. David and I are sitting on the bank dipping our feet into the lake. They cause ripples when we move them, but other than that the lake is still. I move closer to David and rest my head on his chest. I sit there listening to his heartbeat. It takes a bit to find his but it is the most beautiful heart beat I have ever heard.

We are both silent until he starts to sing a song. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it is classical, and sounds magical when he sings it. “What song is this?”

He stops only for a second before returning to his humming, “Pachelbel’s Canon in D.” I want to sit here forever and listen to his singing.

He pauses for a bit, “Please continue.”

“Anything for you.” His hand tightens around my waist and he whispers into my ear, “But only if you let me to this one thing. Lizzabeth Cole, will you let me kiss you?”

Should I let him? We’ve only been dating for a short time. Are we even dating? Do fey date? I stall, “I don’t remember telling you my full name.”

“I do my research. Now Lizz will you let me kiss you?”

“Yes.” I say it so quietly I’m not even sure he heard. He immediately angles his face towards me and I lean in towards him. This is my first kiss. I want to lose it to him. Our lips touch and I feel that spark. When we pull away I am star struck. “I love you.”

 He goes pale. We were perfectly fine, sitting down at the lake. No we were more than fine, but he looks terrified now. He pushes me off of him and gets up. “No I’m sorry. I can’t love you back.”

“Why.” I thought he loved me too; after all he kissed me didn’t he. Impossible, this can’t be happening. I walk to him and lift my hand. Slap right across his face. “Don’t kiss me if you can’t love me.” With that I am walking away. I don’t need him. Tears sting my eyes. I don’t need him, only myself.

“Wait Lizz, I’m sorry I didn’t mean it like that.”

“How else do you mean it? What other meaning is there to I don’t love you?” I scream at him. Tears are flowing down my face. He looks hurt but why should I care. It’s me who should be hurt he broke my heart. I turn to walk away, dignified.

“I can’t let you do this.” He can’t let me do this? How dare he? I deserve a dramatic excite, just to show him that I’m not coming back. I’m glaring at him but he doesn’t react. He starts walking towards me. I’m at the edge of the trees and I start to enter the forest. What does he think he can do by coming to me? I won’t go back to him. We kissed once and already he has broken my heart. “Please let me explain, Lizzabeth.”

“Don’t call me that. You know what. Don’t call me anything, because we won’t be seeing each other anymore.” He continues to walk towards me and before I know it he is here. In one swift move he grabs my wrist and pulls me into his arms. I struggle. “Let go of me, you…” I get pulled into the air as wings unravel from David’s back. I am lost for words, hearing about wings and seeing them are two different things. My anger flows out of me. “Oh my god.”

“Lizz please let me explain.” I am speechless and can only nod my head. “Thank you.” He pauses for a breath. I can tell he’s about to say something important. “I’m fey, and your human, there are things that we just can’t do together. We can’t have a normal relationship by either of the two groups. I don’t want you to have to put up with that. I can’t love you knowing that I am hurting you.”

“You idiot, I’m not that weak. I don’t care about social differences, or religious differences, or cultural differences, I still really like you. I just don’t care so please stay with me.” I’m begging him to stay with me. I may have made a big scene but if it was a misunderstanding I’ll take him back, as long as he takes me back.

“Then I, I really like you too.” I let out a sigh of relief. I can have him as mine, all mine. After that is resolved I look around me to see where we are, and lose three years of the end of my life. I vaguely remember being in midair, but all the drama took my attention away from it.

My eyes widen, “I’m going to fall. Let me down let me down now.” He doesn’t move but instead laughs at me. He kisses me behind the ear.

“Are you ready for a ride, Lizz?”

“I don’t see why it’s necessary to say my name in every sentence.” I can hardly get that out I am shivering in fear.

“It’s because I love the sound of your name.” His wings that were previously moving at a steady pace speed up. We are drifting near the trees, but he moves away. These trees are my safety. I know if I fall I can use them to slow my fall but now I’ll just die. My breathing is short and quick, and I think I’m starting to hyperventilate. I grab onto David’s shirt and bury my head into his chest. His arms tighten around my waist. The wind starts to brush against my back. He’s moving quickly now.

“David, I’m scared.”

“There is no reason to be scared.” He turns my around to show me the view. Knowing what he wants me to do, I slowly open my eyes. The sun is rising and my eyes have to adjust. It’s beautiful; I can see everything from up here. The sun creates a halo around the trees in the distance, and when I look back a David it reaches his face too. The sun loves him too, but I’m not sure I can share him, not even to the most powerful thing in this universe. The sun needs to hind her own man, because he in mine. “Are you still scared?”

“Not when I’m in your arms.” The smile on my face is bigger than it’s ever been. That’s because I’ve never meet him before. I love the feeling of being in love. “So does this mean we are dating?”

“I hope so. I don’t think I can bear to see you single, and other men having a chance with.”

“They’ll never have a chance with me.”

“Shall we go down?”

Go down, back to the academy. I want to stay up here with him a bit longer. “Can we stall up here, at least until the sun rises. I want to see it with you.”  He brushes a stray piece of hair out of my face and tell me yes.
