Ayden’s POV

“So you see, even though myth can be handed down while being written down or verbally there are always many ways to interpret different kinds of texts.”

I ended my lecture with a calm and gentle smile looking the class over once and seeing that most of the students were listening closely, while hoping that most of them had understood what I had been talking about.

I quickly sorted my papers after I made sure to hand over a few information’s to overview at home and sauntered out of the room. For once I didn’t even wait for the room to clear so I could lock the door but went straight for the parking lot and my motorbike to go home.

I was most likely breaking every single speed limit o the quiet streets that led out of town but I just couldn’t seem to get a grip on myself long enough to concentrate on the road.

It was probably a really bad idea to be driving in such a state but it’s not as if anything could happen to me even if I did have an accident. I would be happy ever after so I couldn’t care less.

I just wanted to get home and forget this morning ever happened. I felt so horrible for telling Kyle off in the way I did. And that look in his eyes! He had looked near desperation.

I just couldn’t understand why it was such a big deal for him. I was just a fling for him anyway, wasn’t I?

I bit down on my lip hard enough to draw blood as a curt pain shoot through my chest. Knowing exactly what that pain was a violent swear escaped my lips. It had only been what? Two days? And I had already fallen for him deeper than I would have liked.

Everything I could still do now was to prevent myself from falling any harder than I already had and live through it because I knew damn well, that we could never be together even if he was into me, which was a damn well huge if by the way.

There were just too many goddamn obstacles in the way for us to ever work out. Gritting my teeth violently I threw the Harley away from me and made my way around the house to the garden.

I needed to take my mind off things or I would end up being depressed and might do something I would end up regretting. A whistle later Sinister was at my side yet I didn’t bother greeting her like I usually did but got straight on her back. She neighed anxiously and rose.

I knew she could feel that something was wrong yet I didn’t even wait for her hooves to reconnect with the ground before I urged her to go on and on.

I didn’t care that I didn’t know where we were headed. I didn’t care that we had never gone as deep into the forest before. And I didn’t care when the light began to fade from our world.

I just wanted to forget. To outrun all those horrid feelings in my chest. To never turn around again but to leave everything behind. So I ran.

Like a coward I ran until I felt the branches whipping my body and the wind screaming in my ears. I fled until it was too cold to feel my fingers anymore and I was sure my clothes were long since ripped to nothing but shreds.

A sudden spark of pain rushing down my spine finally ended my spree. I cramped on top of Sinister and tightening my grip bringing her to fall as a small cry escaped me and both of us toppled to the ground. A small whimper escaped me as I stared down at Sinister with watering eyes.

“Oh God.” I couldn’t bring my voice to work louder than the smallest whisper as I strained my body to be able to reach her.

My mind was hazed with pain and couldn’t grasp it when I finally touched the soft fur on her neck. Everything my frozen mind could do was chanting the same thing over and over again as I looked down at her unmoving body without actually being able to see her.
