Born of Twilight

Chapter 5: "Our Reunion"

So that was the plan..... I decided I would just tell Kyree that

I never went home last night, and that when I did go home it was surrounded by police so I went straight to her house.....

Wait... Am I stupid???

The clothes I'm wearing now were tattered, there was no way she's gonna believe me with that story! What should I say? A Vicious pack of wolves attacked me and that's why my clothes are ripped? I mean Kyree was a little scatter-brained at times, but she wasn't stupid.

My thoughts were racing, at this point, I had given up. I had no idea what to do. I reached Kyree's house in under a minute,although she lives 2 blocks behind me, it would usually take about 7 minutes to get there. Seeing as how, now I have a new-found ability of speed, I was able to get there early.

I made my way up to her window, I ran my way up her perfectly rust-painted fence, and jumped onto a ledge. I found my way up some bricks that were loosely packed. I slipped her window open and climbed in gently.

I spent minutes pacing around her bright pink room. Nobody was home at the time, seeing as how she's the only one living there at the time. Her parents had been traveling the world for the last 6 years curing illnesses in different third-world countries. So she's been by herself, just as I have. Maybe that's the reason we've been drawn together for so long... The room had become so familiar to me, I've stood in this exact spot countless times, but never have this feeling of dread consumed her room like so. I heard a door shut outside the house, I walked to the front of Kyree's room that consumed the whole third floor, flat from the back to the front of the house, designed especially for Kyree, by her parents, so she would have a suitable living quarters. I moved aside the pink-linen curtains, to see a police officer opening and closing the cruiser door for Kyree. Her face had been red and soggy from all the crying she had been doing. My heart sank even lower, not something I thought possible. The police officer said a couple of things while walking her to her front door. It was Officer Sky from before, he was speaking so loudly my ears needed no enhancements to hear him.

"...we've searched the entire block, some how what had happened originated within your friends house..." what he said mad Kyree whimper a little bit... He continued though, " From what we've seen we can't tell whether or not he had stopped there or not. Should we find out anything... We'll contact you." He finished as they reached the ascending doorstep, "I strongly encourage you to do the same, we might need to question him."

"Okay... Thank you again Officer Skylar" she whimpered

So that was it huh? His name was Skylar. Sky for short.

I heard the front door click open 2 stories down. I had no idea what to do. I just stood in the middle of the room with mind racing to find answers and excuses. Her footsteps grew louder, but still I did nothing, until she was standing outside the door, I heard her sniffles. She opened the door and looked straight at me. Her frightened gaze killed me on the inside.

"Kyree.... I'm----"

I was interrupted when Kyree dropped everything and ran into my arms attacking my lips with hers....Her eyes were closed, with tears streaming down her face. I closed my eyes and felt her intense emotions. Her sadness, her happiness, her confusion? After what seemed like an eternity, her lips released mine. Still lost in my emotions I hadn't opened my eyes yet.

"You can open your eyes now" She chuckled in her soft, saddened voice.

I opened my eyes to see a weak smile on her face.

"Kyree... I'm real---" She interrupted me again

"Macrx, there's no need to explain now. I'm just happy that you're here now." Her smile grew a little bit.

She walked over to one of her high drawers and pulled out a bright pink towel. She walked back over to me and handed it to me. She looked me deep in the eye and said with a grin.

"Go take a shower, I'll have some clothes waiting for you on the toilet." She walked out the door that she left open and descended down the stair case. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. While waiting for the water warm, I ripped off the already tattered clothes. I stepped in, closed my eyes, and thought about everything that had happened.

W/hat was that kiss?

That question kept racing my mind. My thoughts were stopped by an abrupt knocking of the door.

"Hey are you almost done in there?" She asked playfully.

" Almost! "

I stepped out the shower and wrapped the towel around me. I made my way over to the steamed mirror. I wiped away the steam with my hand and gazed at myself for the first time in a while. I almost forgot what my golden eyes looked like. The front of my slick, black hair fell in front of my face, while the rest spiked in the back. I stared at my tanned cheeks and my jawbone that sat low. Sometimes I was considered a pretty boy, but I couldn't understand why. My eyes followed down the mirror, my olive-toned skin fit the crevices of my hardened body. I stopped gazing into the mirror and went to put on the clothes she had left for me.

She must have slipped in while I was lost in thought?

The clothes looked my size, they must've been her fathers' since we had similar body structures. I put on the boxers and pajama pants she left.

What no shirt?

Oh my bad, I dropped it on the floor and hadn't noticed. I slipped on the pure white, short-sleeved tee that I had picked up. I threw the towel around my neck, turned off the light, and opened the door. I began to walk out when I caught a glimpse of Kyree. She was wearing a silk, blood-red night dress. It was almost as infatuating as her damp, crimson hair. She was astonishing... She walked up to me and put her hands on my face, I could feel the warmth of her palms.

"You must be starving..." She started

"No... Just tired." I spoke the truth.

"Then lets go to bed." She said with a smile.

She grabbed my hand and took me over to her bed, she made me lay down first. I have been in her room before, but I've never actually touched it until now. I lied down on my back, and she laid herself upon me, putting both of her hands on my chest.

"You're so warm..." She said with her eyes closed. She had her head sitting right underneath my chin. Her hair smelled of sweet, sweet roses. I felt my excess amount of body heat radiate to Kyree, and back to me. Just being here, with her, like this, felt amazing.

"Kyree listen, I saw you outside my house earlier, and I feel like shit for ever making you cry" I told her

She picked up her head and gave me another long kiss... Then she returned her head to where it had been before.

"I don't want to think about that now..." she paused to find words "I just want to think about us being together right now... That's all I care about"

We spent the next hour listening to each other breathe, which was what I felt the most intimate relation to ever have with some one, until we drifted off into a deep, deep slumber.........
