To have and to hold

Reunite

Part - 2

Damon took my arm in his grip and we began to run.

Soon we reached an open arena. I looked around- it was wide and so vast that wherever I turned my eyes I could see nothing but only cascade of sparkling green. . .

There were rows of pool where green Crystal like water flowed in tide. How many of it were present , it was impossible to tell. There were so many that we lost count. Wherever my eyes could reach I saw green waves dazzling like White Crystal. My heart was pounding fast. I had no clue what we were going to do. I was panting while beads of sweat covered my face and neck. I took a deep breath when Damon held my hand again.

We had paused for a while to take some air as we both were craving for a little time. But TIME was so precious that we could hardly afford it at the moment. So I prepared myself, sensing that Damon had decided on the same I had. I looked straight and we both took a leap as both our feets dangled in the air and we landed over the green pool of water that surprisingly I found, has not taken us under it's wave, in stead we were standing on something solid that my eyes failed to see-something that was invisible but there. There was no stopping then as our motion scored and we were taken off through the water like a rolling wave as if it was waiting for us all along.

I was not in my best senses I think because neither the hurricane speed nor the giant leap we took, scared me. But most of all it was I think the knowledge that Damon was with me that gave me strength. Also the fact that I had to save him from a pack of devilious vampires who could be his end-gave me such will of purpose that I held onto his hand stronger, not darting my eyes ever from the mission ahead. It was an odd feeling, but somehow I just knew that I had to do this-for him-for us.

I suppose we had crossed some fifty curves and miles of wave when I saw them behind. I took a leap and jumped upon the rolling waves desparately, to keep as much distance between us as possible , all through the time our hands held to eachother tighter than they had before. I felt my senses numb, because when I tried to look through myself I found nothing, neither fear nor assurance. I was simply vacant trying to sail through the moment with all my power. I guess I no more cared of what would happen, except moving fast away from the deadly grasp that would finish everything if we loose.

It wasn't long before that I had this thought when one of them lunged on us and Damon's hand fought bravely until he tore the body into two halves and before we could make our next move another one-- a girl with big blond hair charged on me. Though I was human and was in no way a match for that kind of power but strangely how I have no idea but I bend forward and leaned myself allowing my hand to grip her arm and bend it to and fro and throw her like I had done it millions of times before-like it wasn't a big matter for me. But I didn't have the luxury even to be amazed or wonder at what was happening. I sort of summed it up somehow in the meantime that the place had powers that I know nothing about and that it could as well perhaps inflict unimaginable braviety upon those who marched in it's domain, doesn't matter if that someone was a fragile human like me. So even though nine of them were after us, strangely I managed to tackle two of them and Damon another two so that five were still left on our trail. But we were fast and so we managed to stay quite ahead. Damon and I- we both knew he was weak and that our best chances were to keep them out of our way as long as we could. But it seemed even that choice was getting harder with each passing second as our escape roots began to become from minimal to almost zero.
They chased us and we found every place we reached to have them before we did. The fight grew fiercer and the urgency to win more eminent. Part of me knew more than himself, that Damon was doing this for me because he cared for me-- my life more than he cared for anything else and I also knew this fierce urge to save our lives was just a flame of his intense feeling and protectiveness that he had for none but me. He was protecting me. Saving his life was just a veil to hide that intense emotion. But Beneath it all that matters and always have mattered the most was my life. The realisation that I had known for a long time, but never accepted, descended upon me and my throat atuned a raw and numb pain that grew bigger in my chest with every breath I drew and I gave all of myself to battle this war. I knew this war was important to me in not just one but many ways. If we loose and they get hold of me they will have Damon in their hands. Because having me means having control over Damon. Once they capture me alive Damon will be a toy in their hands which they will play in all of the hideous ways they knew, until they have him tortured to death ; simply because Damon didn't agree to join them. Because between a devilish life and me, he chose me. He defied on becoming an animal like them because for once he had believed in love. And I certainly wouldn't let that happen to him no matter what.
I won't allow them to play me as a pawn to finish Damon. I won't let any harm come upon him. Better it is to lay my life than to give them the priviledge of using it as a weapon to destroy him.
