Ensorcelled Enigma (One direction, Fantasy)

*Thinking out loud*

*JESSICA'S P.O.V*

The breeze felt nice as it caressed my cheek making my hair flutter. I pulled my shawl closer to the body as I stared at the expanse in front of me. I could see Liam walking with a book in his hand in the distance as he made his way towards the hostel. There was a lot on my mind and as hard as I tried to remember things it did not work. All I could hear was ringing in my ears and experience a massive headache. I looked up at the sky again. it was a dark swirl of purple and blue sprinkled with stars.

"Aren't you cold?" The voice asked behind me, I shook my head as a response. I hadn't been able to actually talk to him since I woke up. After Alicia and Zayn left, I just sat blank trying to shut out the ringing in my ears. that's when Samaira walked in.

I have lost my memory

The thought made me shudder and I closed my eyes breathing hard. All I remembered was Niall and a girl with bright red hair and scary eyes. There was something pretty yet terrifying about her. Esmerine told me she was Sapphire, the cause of my disdain.

Niall stood next to me looking at the greenery. The silence was calm yet unbearable. I knew he had to leave tomorrow. When Esmerine asked me if I wanted to know about the incident, I chose to hear it. I wanted to know. it was important to clear the confusion and that had helped me quite a lot. Yet it was shocking to know so much had happened and the result was I had lost my friends. I looked at Niall as the thought struck me hard making my heart hurt. he was leaving the next day. Maybe the connection with Sapphire helped me remember him but I knew what I felt was more than a mind control side effect. I was in love with him, that much I had figured out.

"You are leaving..." I whispered as I looked at him. He sighed turning his face towards me. his expression mirroring mine. he was in pain as well. His eyes searched mine and as his look changed I guessed he didn't find it.

"Do you..remember before the incident..." He stuttered trying to put his thoughts in words. I tried to recollect things but it was murky. I remembered Sapphire talking to me, helping me when I was about to fall. The guy with red hair as he thrashed Sapphire against a tree but about Niall...it was a collage flashing across my mind. I saw him multiple times. Talking to me till late hours, tucking me in when he thought I was asleep. Helping me study and all the eating contests where he let me win. But I was confused as to what he wanted to know that happened before the incident. As I struggled to look past the mist, my headache increased and I could feel the hammering in my head. It was unbearable and I staggered to get a hold of myself. Soon enough two cold hands grasped me, pulling me into a hug.

"Hey don't exert yourself. You need rest. I am sorry. I shouldn't have asked. I...I am sorry for everything. Jessica...." I could feel my feet being raised from the ground as he took me to bed.

"I am fine..." I said shaking my head trying to clear it. the hammering was a mere pulse now throbbing at the back of my head but my vision had cleared. I looked up to see Niall in a state of worry and panic. Without thinking I put my palm against his cheek telling him that I was okay and there wasn't anything to worry about.

"Can you sing a song for me?" I blurted out as I noticed how close we were and my temptation to kiss him was rising every second.

kiss him..

kiss him...

kiss him....

I closed my eyes to avoid the feelings and opened them to see he was rising up from my bed. he went around it and got a beautiful guitar from his closet which was vaguely familiar and sat on his bed facing me. twisting a few knobs to turn it. he gave me a soft smile. he started playing a rhythm and when the words left his mouth. it was like he was talking to me.
