Chapter 20 - Dani
As I was going by Charing Cross, I saw a black man upon a black horse; And according to Ash, it was her new friend.
Ash was acting super wierd. She was fluently speaking languages she had never heard of, making creepy new friends, and finding dead things everywhere. Usually it was one or two a week, now it was one or two every four seconds. Something was going on that I had no part in, and now I was curious. Ashes eyes were also constantly dialating, and she would have little headaches every once in a while.
"Ash, are you okay?" I asked her as we were walking through a super dark, dense forrest.
"Yeah, I'm... just... fine," she mumbled as she stared blankly into the never ending forrest.
"Something is seriously wrong with Ash," I whispered to Alice and Ross.
"Yeah, I know. ever since we encountered that creepy guy in the barn, she's been acting like she's posessed," Alice said as a shiver ran down my spine. Ash has never acted like this. I stole a glance at Ross who was also staring into the never ending forrest, but not blankly. He knew what was going on, I could tell.
"Ross, do you have anything to say? Maybe a little helpful tip about Ash?" I said as Ross stopped abruptly, signaling to be quiet.
"Something is rustling in the bushes over there," He said as he pointed towards an old run down church building. It was made of stone, and it had vines covering most of it, but all of the vines were dead around the area where there stood a cross inside of a circle. Ross signaled to follow his lead, so we did. he slowly walked toward the church building, careful not to step on any dead leaves.
"What do you think it is?" I asked him, and then straightened up because I heard the helpless damsel in my voice.
"I don't know... yet," he said, concentrated on walking slowly and carefully. Ash was still just walking regularly, completely oblivious to what was going on. Oh, I forgot to mention that Blue was behind us, I think, she was invisible for the time being. I learned that she is very skiddish, and she can listen in on our thoughts, and directly channel hers to any individual. Mid-thought I heard a horse make a snorting noise.
"Blue, was that you?" I thought. No answer for a few minutes.
"N-n-n-no, I didn't d-d-d-do that," She was obviously scared. Right then a black horse leapt from the bushes and right in front of us. He was slick, muscular, and beautiful, along with his rider. The horse stumbled and almost killed Ash, but Ross ran into her, knocking her to the ground with a huge thud. Ash finally got her head out of the clouds, or wherever it was.
"W-w-what just happe-" Ash stopped short," Leron, what are you doing here? Were you following us?" Ash said the to rider. He had black hair that ran down to his ear lobes. He had gray eyes and he was wearing a black leather jacket, black leather boots, black leather pants, and the sexiest half-smile I had ever seen. He was beautiful, almost angelic. Like an angel of darkness.
"Ash, who is he?" I whispered, still staring at the dark figure.
"His name is Leron, or at least that's what he told me. He's the guy who killed Little Boy Blue," she said, also staring at him.
"Hello, Ashlynn, Daniella, Allison, and Rosswell. I have come here to give you a message," He said as he handed Ash a piece of blue paper, and winked at me. He was so beautiful, now I know how Ash felt about Ross. Except Ross was like and Angel from Heaven. Leron was like an Angel from heck. He occasionally shimmered, as if he were made of shadows. Ash read the note carefully, her eyes widened, and then she quickly stuffed the paper into her pocket.
"Hi, um, Leron. I'm Dane. Um... hi," I said sheepishly, regretting saying anything at all.
"Hi," He said back, his voice was deep, but not too deep. He had the perfect size biceps, and I could see his eight pack through his tight black shirt. He was amazing. My heart had never fluttered like this for anyone, not even when my life flashes before my eyes. He had the affect on me that Edward Cullen has on Bella in Twilight. She loves him, yet she knows that she can't have him because he's a vampire. Except with Leron, it was because he was a person made of shadows. But that doesn't mean I can't be in love with him. Or in love with his sexiness.
He looked straight into my eyes, and then he smiled and said, "You are very beautiful Dane,"
"Ha, thanks," I said way too sheepishly, if it had been any more sheepish, I would've said baa. I realized what he had just said, and my eyes widened. He just called me beautiful. The girly girl inside of me fluttered out like a flock of doves. Leron kept staring at me, maybe admiring my beauty? I don't know, but he was hot, and he thought that I was hot. That's all that matters.
"Do you maybe want to ride on my horse with me? I'll take you wherever you want to go," He said. Asking me on a date in medievil terms. I personally thought he was going way too fast, and the silent moment of me deciding was akward. But he was confident... and hot.
"Yes, I do. How about we go to the end of this terribly dark forrest?" I asked mounting up on his horse, behind the saddle. I wrapped my arms around him, and felt his abs. He leaned back into my arms, and I could feel the warmth emitting from his body. His back curling into me. It gave me chills. He glanced back at me and smiled. For such a dark guy, he's pretty cheerful.
"Wait, Leron, I thought you could only talk in that one language," Ash said.
"I can talk in so many languages that you wouldn't be able to keep count," His multilingualness made him even hotter than he was two seconds ago. Mental note: learn at least one more language before bragging to anyone about anything.
"Do you wanna get going?" I asked, trying to get out of there, because my face was bright red and smiling.
"Sure," He said as we galloped off into the depths of the dark forrest, not the sunset.
