Our Reincarnation. Our fate

Chapter 4

Mich held me in his arms for a bit and I didn't want to let go. Reluctantly he put me down and I realized how desperate I seemed by jumping into his arms.

"So what kind of food do you have in that basket?" I asked cooly.

Mich was staring at me but he quickly snapped out of it. "I brought some chocolate covered strawberries, grapes sandwiches, chips and Mountain Dew." He replied.

Um wow. I know it doesn't seem like much but I haven't have someone do something like this for me so I was very touched. "Sounds good to me"

Mich walks over to the basket and lays out the blanket close to the edge so we can sit but still have a beautiful view of the lake. We both sit down on opposite ends of each other with an awkward silence settling between us.

"Catch!" I hear him say so I look up and get hit in the eye with a grape.

"Owwww what the hell?"

Mich quickly comes over apologizing over and over again.

"Damn I'm so stupid, I thought it'd be romantic. but then why would it be? I'm throwing grapes at you, it's just you get me so nervous and the moonlight makes you look so beautiful and I just felt..." I interrupted him by slapping my hand over his mouth. His bad boy attitude was gone and his nerd side was back. To be honestly, I like this side better.

"Mich" I say calmly, "it's okay. I'm fine..... oh and thanks for the compliment" I give him a wink and a small blush spreads on his cheeks.

"So what's with the makeover?" I ask casually while I remove my hand from his mouth and grab a chocolate strawberry. He relaxed back to his spot and look out on the waterfall thoughtfully.

"I'm not completely sure," he says honestly, "after I bumped into you in the hallway I felt really exhausted for some reason. I went home and I fell asleep for hours and in my dream I had this need to be different because if I didn't change something I wouldn't be happy. Looking at where I am now, I'm pretty happy I changed my looks."

I suddenly felt shallow, thinking that if he didn't change his appearance would I care? but I knew that i was still curious about him in the halls and something drawed me to him all the time.

"You're really sweet, funny, attractive .and you seem like a great guy. I'm pretty sure you didn't have to change your looks to be where you are now."

"Whatever the case, at least I'm here now......hey you have some chocolate on your face." Mich says and leans over and wipes the chocolate away on the corner of my life. He was really close and I stared into his beautiful blue eyes. Once he put his hand down, he leaned a little bit closer with both hands on each side of my body.

"Clara?"

"Hmmm?"

"Is it okay if I kiss you?"

he paused waiting for my reply and I knew that if I didn't do this, I'd regret it later on. So I nod and he slowly leans in closer and places his hand on my cheek. Then slowly places his soft lips on mine.

"Joseph wait for me!" A female voice yells out, chasing a man in front of her. This woman is beautiful; she has blond curls up to her shoulder and bright blue eyes. But her eyes are filled with fear and desperation. The man quickly stops and reaches for her hand.

"Katherine! We must hurry or he'll find us soon" Joseph was also blond, tall but had beautiful green eyes that were filled with worry. Both of them were wearing clothes from the early 40s and were currently in a field near a beautiful castle.

"Too late" A sick, creepy voice said behind them. A tall dark handsome man stood behind them but in a flash it changed to a demonic figure. One that children fear is under their bed or in their closet. The demon was absolutely frightening and was smiling like a maniac.

" Did you honestly think you could run? A warning was given but you still didn't listen. tsk tsk. You do know that one of you must die or you unbalance the forces of nature"

Joesph steps in front of Katherine.

"I won't ever let you hurt her. Our love is strong and you can't stop that. I rather die then have you stop this!" His voice was filled with love, courage and hope.

"Joseph dear," Katherine said softly behind him, "I haven't told you yet but I love you, with everything that I have" Joseph turns around and kisses her with all the love in the world

"I didn't say it needed to be her" the demon says and grabs Joseph away from Katherine and stabs him in the heart with a long knife.

Mich jumps away from me, clutching his chest where a big red stain was.

" did...did you see that?!" He practically yells at me.

"Are you bleeding?" I frantically ask.

"No and I have no idea where this stain came from."

I try to calm both him and I down and suggest that it might if been one of strawberries.

" but did you see that Clara? please tell me I wasn't the only one who saw that!"

I nod very slowly, " I did," I say softly, "it's weird that we only kissed for a short amount of time but it felt like we were seeing whatever that was for at least an half hour."

Mich quickly checks the time, "you're right, barely a minutes passed."

I suddenly felt very cold and scared.

"I'm sorry to ruin this but can we go? I'm feeling very tired." I ask

"No it's fine, let's go."

We quickly clean up the basket and blanket and walk back towards the truck. Walking back I felt like I was being watched so I hurried up to Mich and intertwine my fingers with his.

He whispered to me that everything was going to be okay.

Driving back wasn't the same as the ride there. It was long and quiet. When Mich pulls into my driveway, he asked, "Are you gonna be okay?"

Tears started forming in my eyes, I felt like such a little kid again but I was so scared and my house was empty and dark. So I shook my head slowly.

"No but I'll be alright."

"Do you want me to stay? I promise I don't even have to sleep in your bed, I'll sleep on the couch."

I turned towards him and I knew that I could trust him with my life which was weird since I only gotten to know him this week.

"I don't mind. please stay, it'd mean the world to me."

He nods, gets out of the car and opened the door for me. Once we got inside, I showed him to my room and went to grab him some of my dads pjs and to quickly changed into my own. When I came back Mich asked,

"Will you're parents mind that I'm staying in your bed?"

I tried to lighten the mood

"They might but they're not home so they don't know" I say with a wink

Mich's lips twitched upwards to something like a smirk. We both got into my bed, it was a queen size so it was able to fit the both of us.

We started out facing away from each other until I heard him ask, "Clara I'm very sorry for ruining our date, and making you scared but is okay if I hold you? I'm not trying to be creepy it's just...."

"Yes" I say quietly. I feel the bed shift and his arms pull me towards his warm hard body. It didn't feel awkward or weird but it felt like my body was made to fit his. "It's hardly been a week, but I feel like I've known you for forever." I tell him honestly.

"I know, I feel the same. now go to sleep, you must exhausted." he demanded and kisses the back of my head softly. Mich was different, he made me feel safe, comfortable and I trusted him completely. After that thought, I fell into a deep sleep.
