Chapter 4

I feel illusion hit after all the stuff I experienced at Earl. The negatives of my panaroma is black hole of nothingness. I redid my memory tracing a lot since I saw the results of negatives but, after the wimping sound and seeing something extremely unusual my memory was latched. No one will believe me if I say I saw a gigantic owl commanding all the roses to turn towards it and they obediently rotated to face the commander in chief. It was like a magnetic force pulling them, with there roots held firm they just turned towards the house like a disciplined military troop. Tip to top entire rose stream camouflaged into black color adhering to the blackness of the owl's eyes. The extremity of my senses is damned to stillness and I just stand their staring at the owl. It swirls around the mansion , turns back and meet my eyes.

I see burning secrets of lost land in those lenses. Holding the powers of the town, it whooshes inside the oak doors ahead.

Presently, I reflex on my study chair in shabbily designed room and dread at the results of my proof. Although trouble smells around with the ongoing happenings and my scary expedition of Earl I can think of only one charisma of hope, it is the city central library of next town that can help me. Books are a hope to unveil long lost truths, this town might not be having a history known but, I definitely know some of the age old books will show some light. So, I pull on my back pack, leaping down towards something hopeful.

It's very dangerous to walk on these streets when night upholds and lamps flicker in a evil enormity. I keep my pace up to reach the gates soon enough.

Gaaaaaarrrrrhhhhhh!
My heart looses a beat when a car stops right in front of me in abrupt rush!

"Rohan! Why are you wandering on streets at this hour?", Kate blurts out in surprise. She's El's best chum, daughter of a rich business tycoon. Long, thin bones,always head held high, she was a perfect example of noble woman. 

"Um...having a pleasant walk!", I feel the discomfort of this encounter building up in middle of the dead silent road. El had warned me about how tricky Kate was to fool around with, smart one she is.

"I ain't a fool dumbo, get in we have a party to attend. I had planned on calling you for the same!", she orders me.

"Katey I am very sorry to disappoint you, I am kinda busy for the night.", I speak in a declaration. But, this lady isn't easy going, she always has stuff to lure everyone in, here it was Ella. I don't want to miss seeing my Ella happy and high again, forgetting all the pain I gave her. I decided to hide around a corner, boozing and watching my princess shake to the beat.

All my eagerness to open up to Earl  vanished in thick air, where my darling's name reverberated.

.............................................................

Rosefield had only one star pub, 'The HUG'. Today it was glowing blue in a artifact formation of young couple whirling in circles. 

"Where's El?", I eye around.

"Patience Edward, your Bella is on her way, I have sent a taxi for the queen!". A slight pink colours my cheeks and I swallow my heavy heart in a deep breadth. 

I walk through the glass door savouring the cool air of air conditioner, stunned to see the high raised party balls swaying to and fro, bar whoozing with the buzz of acid and hot talks. Make outs, break ups, hook ups were happening at far ends of the pub and the highlight of all was the dance floor. It was hard to make out what was rotating with better speed, the floor or the drunk heads.

Surveying every inch of pub I turned towards the door again. It was the most beautiful sight, she walked like an angel, my angel. Her green gown sliding the marble floor like a green lantern on white shores of sea. A visual treat for every guy stuffed in here. I was so damn jealous!

I wanted to walk right ahead and ask her for a dance but, I had hurt her and very badly as well.

I gulp every drop of my beer in a urge to pounce on every guy asking El for a dance, but she's very happy with all these and it hurts me not to be a part of it. 

Right when these thoughts are haunting me she catches me staring at her and instead of giving me a look of surprise which I expected her to show, she pounces towards me hitting hard on my chest. Gladly the hurt due to her punches is faded off by her touch, more precious that is.

At that instant I do what my heart says, I pull her waist and lift her to dance floor, she din't protest. My heart starts to pace with the beats of her stilettoes. Very gently I sway with her in my arms as thousand years  flames the desire inside me with it's melody. World falls upside down when blue rays ring around us spotting us to all. She clinks her teeth closing her eyes, perhaps she's sharing my feeling of need. I can do nothing more than embracing her lashes with my lips, smooth as silk it tickles my lower lip. Warmth of her skin is blazing my desire of having her in my arms forever. I tug her tight to my abs and is overwhelmed in her smile. Has she forgotten everything and forgiven me? I hope so.....

We swing and swoop across the floor as music bays the world on a stop, flinging our love above the strata!

Suddenly I hear a blast of cheers, probably a well known personality of town is in pub so, I look towards the door. A girl barks "siiirrrrrrrrrr...." running towards a man with, "OH MY GOD!", a 'black rose' on his coat!!!
