Chapter 18

"I saw a shooting star and thought of you"

He didn't waste a second in wrapping his arms around me. His strong arms held me against his chest as i cried into it. His arms felt like home. Where i belonged.

I cried like my life depended on it. I had kept in my emotions in me for too long. Since i was a child. I Was crying over nothing but i was crying over everything. I needed someone to love me. To hold me. To take care of me.

I was ruining his shirt and didn't give a shit. I slowly pulled away but his arms stilled held me. I stared down at our feet feeling a little embarrassed. His warm hand cupped my chin and lifted it up staring in my eyes.

My breath got stuck in my throat as i stared in to his eyes. For the first time since i had seen him i saw his eyes. His normal eyes. I found my self staring at the most beautiful blue eyes i had ever seen. They complimented his brown hair and beard.

His arms around me felt safe. I felt protected. He unwrapped one arm and raised his hand to my face. He gently stroked my face, his thumb washing away my tears. I closed my eyes and leaned into his hands letting out a sigh of content. My body felt alive. My veins were on fire. I never wanted him to let me go.

He neared me closing the gap between us. He grabbed the lock of hair which had escaped curling it behind my hair.

"You're so beautiful Aurora" he whispered again knocking me breathless.

My eyes dropped down as I blushed.

"Come with me" he grabbed my hand and pulled me to him.

"Wait I'm not properly dressed" his eyes wandered down to the silk black robe which was a little above my knees I wasn't wearing any shoes either.

He moved away from me and grabbed his navy blue suit jacket which he had just taken off.

"Take this" He handed it to me.

I quickly grabbed the jacket shrugging it on. It didn't cover a lot but enough. I slipped into some random slippers and turned towards him. He extended his hand and I gladly took it desperately wanting to feel his touch again.

"Where are we going?" I asked

He didn't answer but kept on leading me out the back door. He led us through some thick trees where I tighten my grip on his hands the darkness scaring me.
His hands tighten on me too. I would occasionally look back expecting a huge bear or wolf behind me but saw nothing.

The walk became a little difficult as I felt my self using a lot more force. Like i was hiking. By now he shifted me infront of him. I hesitated a little at one point where i doubted i would loose my footing not understanding all this. His hands grabbed my waist and pushed me up. I yelped in surprise but relaxed when my feet touched flat surface.

I turned around to see where we were and for the fourth time this nice this night i lost my breath. We were on quite a height. The cliff was small and ended with a great view of the moon and the stars. It wasn't anything special. No flowers no lake. The stunning view of the moon and stars had their own beauty.

I walked towards the end of cliff. A few inches away a little hesitant.

"I didn't know we climbed this much" i commented looking down where i could almost the see the entire community.
