I reach out, my hand meets a soft feathery like... A wing and there... Attached to a human. My eyes grow wide. This person I can not see there face. Is he here to take harm to me? Who is this? "Leave her alone" that voice so Stern,  full of confidence so full of lucid.... So familiar in a way.... An evil laughter which I very well know now fills the intense air.  You could cut the tension with a knife. I look up at the wall to my right slow eerie letters being written upon the wall in what seems to be my blood. The letters drain as there being written. " Y..-..O..-..U..-..W..-..I..-..L..-..N..-..E..-..V..-..E..-..R..-..E..-..S..-..C..-..A..-..P..-..E..-..M..-..E.." My heart hammers in my chest like a car going for a river without brakes. My body shakes as a chill runs through me. The figure before my turns to face me his muscular chest in view. "Belle.." I gasp as I hear my name falling off "Dutch" lips. "Listen to me he will not hurt you, I will protect you, nothing will ever happen to you" my mouth dry, my body shaking down to the bone. He takes me into his warm arms his wings wrap around my back almost as if a shield. I couldn't help but fell comfortable in his arms, even though hell brakes out around me.
I wake startled.. I search for Dutch but I lay in bed in a now almost abandon room, In his house.

a light sense fills my nose a smell of.... "BACON" I instinctively run through the hall fallowing the bliss smell. I enter the kitchen seeing Dutch over the stove in nothing but dark sweat pants and a gray sweatshirt. Odd enough my legs feel very sore but I don't really care right now, I lean against the entry way. "having fun?" Dutch carries one of those charming sarcastic smiles of his "partly, yes"

My face shifts into a serious manner as I recall the dream I held last night, and my abilities.
"Can I be Frank with ya about something?" I prepare my next words after he nods "this IS going to sound insane but I think I can control the atmospheric weather" he makes no response to this silence is worst than anything at this point. The air was so thick you could cut it with a knife. "Sit down, I would like to play a role as frank as well" I sit down in the sofa "smart ass" thousand of thought run through me like a freight train. Will he have me admitted, is all this anxiety getting to me, have I haven't the lessen clue of the world?

"ok your the first to know, the only one so far... I can read minds" At this point I am filled with curiosity confusion, happiness? I ponder for who knows how long before my cheeks turn as red as a tomato, all the girlish thoughts he's herd. Dutch takes my realization as hysterical and start to laugh "looks like it finally sank in sweetheart!"

Getting over my embarrassment, I turn my gaze upon him, staring into his eyes. "are there others like... us" he thinks for a moment. "Im not entirely sure but I think so"

So many questions rush through the atmosphere "How long have you had your abilities?"

"Is it inherited?' This is crazy, but there again so is Dutch, but I love him, oh shoot he can read my thoughts, should I feel embarrassed? "slow down hot shot"

"alright here we go the answer to number one is, I've had them for all my life, I used to think I was insane but bits and pieces come together the longer you have your ability the better you make sense of it. Number two I have not heard my parents mention that they have abilities, yet there are no signs that they have them either"

I could almost see that he was studying something in his mind, almost certain he was debating. His gaze turned serious, nothing to joke about, dead serious, he could nock someone over dead with that gaze.

"look you are special" It takes a moment to process I burst into hysterical laughter

"me? special? get your heads out of the clouds" I get up standing on the warm carpet. But only to meet the floor *I fall*. "Look I'm serious, ok? and I want to try something, will you let me?" I finally understand just how serious he is and I just nod feeling stupid for laughing, before I fell on my ass. "Absolutely anything" Dutch inhales air then exhales "I think we should sleep together"I blush and thoughts rush across my mind: What the hell? SLEEEEPIINNG TOOGEETHHER? oh shit maybe he will explain this... since he can... REEEAADMMYMIIND "I didn't mean for it to come out that way, I'm sorry what I meant was lay really close to you, ugh it still sounds wrong, um ok ill just give the reason,.. Ok so we have powers, I take them as Night and Day or North and South, opposites attract, you represent the moon, all those thoughts going through your head a while ago you represent.... I guess darkness, and I represent the sun, light we are drawn to each other because were polar opposites, since opposites attract or so I assume.

When you came here the reason your anxiety and all negative parts extinguished is because of me, I absorb negative energy and dispose of it, while you absorb positive information but you haven't learned how to except it, you push it away, while being consumed by darkness, When we SLEEP TOGETHER our powers will intertwine, for example: you will be able to read my mind until we separate, I will be able to let my emotions guide the weather, if this works there may be an odd combination of our powers."

I'm lost for words, lost for any bit of sanity I posses

"wait but if my abilities stand for darkness then wont you have to accept darkness, that may kill you, this stuff is not child's play, you may die... I can't live with myself if that happens?"

He breathed out a sigh " yes... I will no longer be pure I will no longer be strong, darkness will halfway consume me"

"NO I CANT ALLOW YOU TO DO THAT don't do it its to dangerous from what I'm gathering since your pure, the thoughts will have a greater affect on you"

"look we NEED to do this, I can feel it in my bones"

This thought was to astonishing, this is unbelievable. My eyes water my face turns pale, I look into his eyes begging, pleading trying to get him to budge, I know this breaks his heart to see me like this he turns a cold shoulder, leaving me on my knees.

"I know I promised .. But PLEASE stay Lucid, stay vigilant, I couldn't live with myself if you were hurt"

*********

The rest of the day passes by time and worry consumed the both of them, until night fall when they each lay in bed. Star in Dutch's arms Belle's thoughts of worry fill the both of them. Dutch leans over and kisses her on the lips, Star deepens the kiss until they part gasping for air, savoring the feeling, after all this may be that last time to ever meet again, and just like that the journey begins.
