The Fall (On Hiatus until otherwise stated)

The Fall: Chapter 8 - Serena

I woke up early Saturday morning, my head pounding from the mixed drinks I had drunk last night. I opened my eyes, it was six thirty, I groaned. I had only gotten to bed at one in the morning. I was so pumped from everything that had happened last night that I didn't fall asleep until one, still with the purple stone next to me.

I could hear snoring, which was weird. I wondered if I was so hung over I was hearing things. I could feel the small vibration that went along with the snoring. I felt a slight dip next to me in the bed.

Oh My God

I turned over slowly and came face to face with someone I had never seen before. I gasped and sat up quickly in shock. Not only was it someone I didn't recognize, it was a male someone. My dad was going to kill me if he found a boy in my bed.

I lifted the sheets, I was dressed but the boy was not. Oh God, Oh God, Oh God. I slipped out of bed and paced up and down my room. What was I going to do? I looked around the floor for clothes, there were none. Had this boy just walked into my house last night naked?

I knew I was drunk last night, I could feel the after effects now. Was I so drunk I had forgot I let someone stay over? I held my head in my hands and groaned again. I had to wake him up and get him out of here, who ever he was.

I grabbed my dressing gown off the back of my door and walked over to the other side of the bed. I subconsciously ran my fingers to mask the bed hair I undoubtedly had, I took a deep breath and I shook him.

The boy's eyes opened and he looked shocked. He sat up quickly and took in his surroundings. I held out the dressing gown, and he noticed me and jumped up over to the other side of the bed. Holding his hand out in front of him in shock and amazement. I turned my head around as he was now all on display.

"Oh gosh take this." I said, covering my eyes with my hand and holding out the dressing gown in front of me, towards him. I waited a moment and then felt him grab it from me. I gave him a moment before I turned back around and opened my eyes. He was just tying up the cord and I could see his muscular chest, I guess he wasn't so much of a boy after all.

I took him in, his hair was an average length, and sticking up in all directions, being unruly, (much like my own hair) he was taller than me, but not by much. His skin was deathly white, he must have drank more than me last night. It was his eyes that caught me out though, they were a deep purple, almost blue, but not quite. Much like the stone I had. He must have had those crazy contacts in that you could get from those specialist shops.

"Where am I?" his voice was husky, as you'd expect after being woken suddenly in a strangers house, it was also a little sexy. I had to hold back a sigh. "Is my Father here?" he asked, looking around the room, trying to make sense of everything.

"Umm." Was all I managed.

"I'm at Umm?" he questioned. What? His mannerisms seemed familiar but my brain just wouldn't function properly.

"No, you're at my house." I said. He looked at me, then around the room, taking it all in.

"How did you release me from the cocoon?" he asked, all serious now. He walked around the bed and came towards me. I crossed my arms in front of myself. Feeling under dressed in my pajamas all of a sudden.

"I shook your arm, just now, remember?" he rolled his eyes, he seemed frustrated.

"No.How did you wake me from my pod, the Sphere. The shiny metal thing?"

I gasped, I went to my bed, turning the sheets over and looking under my pillows. Where was the stone? I panicked, it couldn't be, could it? I looked under the bed, on top of the bed. I went through last night's clothes. The man watched as I frantically tore my room apart. When I realized I wasn't going to find it, I walked over to him slowly.
