A weird, magnetic pull started to lead you out of your dark bedroom. Your barefoot began to move on their own, leading you through the quiet, dimly lit house, house, only the eerie glimmer of the moon streaking through the thin lace curtains.
You were oblivious to the sharp chill in the air or the thin pyjama shorts and white tank top clinging to your skin. Your dark nutbrown hair cascaded freely down your shoulders.
The trance you were in deepened as you moved like a sleepwalker, blissfully unaware of the world around you as you followed the mysterious pull guiding you. When you stepped outside, the crisp night air biting at your bare arms and legs, but you continued. Your feet moved gently along the Stoney pathways that encircled concealed paths through the garden. You quietly walked up a set of stone-cobbled stairs.
You descended and ascended the stone stairs, which led to the dark, secluded deck area by the swimming pool. The pool water seemed black, reflecting the dim illumination from the lanterns, giving the entire area an otherworldly feel. The foliage cast deep shadows over the deck area. The world around you seemed so still. It was unnerving.
The small lanterns around the deck area cast a soft, ethereal glow over the area. But even their light was too dim and faint to diminish the darkness. Finally, you came to a sudden halt, an unknown pull holding you in place. Your ragged breath started to fog the air, but you remained motionless with unfocused eyes, staring blankly ahead.
The night was so quiet; the only sound that you're around could pick up was the gentle waterfall against the rough edges of the rocks. Your heartbeat erractically as you almost felt a suffocating stillness- an aura around you. Your breath hitched as if you were holding it up.
Then, suddenly, the sound of footsteps broke the stillness, hesitant but determined. Your body turned slowly, moving like you were emerging from a pool of water. The atmosphere became electric as your inner eyes tried to focus. Then, a figure appeared out of the shadows, slowly ascending the stairs.
His footsteps seemed hesitant, yet they were purposeful—some determination that sent a shiver down your spine even in your dazed state. He moved slowly closer, his physical form becoming more apparent in the softly illuminated lantern light. His eyes were dazed; he was locked onto yours. A weird connection frizzled in the atmosphere between the two of you. You both stood there, frozen in time, two metres from each other, just staring at each other.
The world around you seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of you on that eerily quiet deck, bound together by some inexplicable pull. His gaze held yours in place, instantly sparking a divine connection between you as if some unseen force had drawn you together.
A deep bond formed, making your heart thump erratically. Unexplainable feelings of yearning, two souls intertwined, and a sense of deep love. He took a slow step forward, closing the distance between you, and you felt your breath hitch in your throat.
