When Dark Meets Light

Colors

     After the incident in the hole with the thing he started ignoring me. He only stopped to give the horse rest and to drink water. My feet were really killing me by now, my two legs were no match for four. Demon, I heard him mention the horses name once, tried slowing down a couple of times but he wouldn't let him. He was out to punish me for defying him in the hole, he wanted me to make sure I knew who was in charge. But I knew it was a way to remind himself that he had not done me any favors. That he was completely evil and their was nothing good about him.

     I had been walking for more than half a day and was ready to collapse. When I noticed Demon stop and no matter how much the man tried to get him to move it was no use and as soon as he climbed off , Demon laid down as if he was way to tired. But I knew better, this little show was to give me a much needed break from walking. I let him know that I was gratefu,l he just lifted his head to let me know he understood and rested hi head again. With that I collapsed on the floor not caring about anything else.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      This could not be happening. Did they really think I hadn't notice their little exchange just than. The horse and the girl were starting to test my patience. I watched as she collapsed on the floor and almost fell asleep instantly. I hadn't expected for her to be that tired. Than again I had been lost in my own taughts to noticed that almost night was upon us. I made sure the girl was really asleep and went to hunt, I was tired of bread and cheese by now.

      When I made it back I wen to check on the girl she was still asleep so I busied my self preparing the rabbit I had caught. As it grew dark I started a fire and began to cook it. When it was just about down I felt her stir and sit up. She looked around and notice the  fired and move towards it with caution. She kept silent for a while just staring at the fire. I went back to the rabbit.

 " What's your name?" The question took me off guard.

 " Why?" I didn't trust myself with her. It was the reason why I tried paying her no mind during the day. But she was still close in my taughts.

 " Well we've been traveling for two days together and you'll probably kill me sometime in the future so shouldn't I at least know your name?"

 " For some one speaking of her own deat,h you are very calm." she just kept staring at me waiting.

 " My name is Tristan."

 " Since I know you wont ask, mines Jessabel. But I prefer Jess." her eyes right now were white. A very strange color. Curiosity got the best off me.

 " Why do your eyes change so much?" she looked pleased that I had asked the question and her eyes once again changed, this time they were yellow. This little mouse was hard to understand.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      I was glad to get a conversation out of him. I felt as his annoyance turned to curiosity. I was a little surprised by the question but happy none the less. I had forgotten about my eyes since I always had my glasses on but I remember taking them off when I had reached my house just before all this happened. But hearing how he knew I had powers I taught he would know what they were. I was very confused.

 " I taught you knew about my powers?"

 " I know you have the gift, but no one truly knows all that the gift is."

 " Oh well depending on what emotions I'm feeling they change to match it." he was thoughtful for a while after my statement.

 " What is pale blue?"

" Sadness."

 " White?"

 " Calm."

 " Yellow?"

 " Happy or glad." he looked shocked with that one. but recovered quickly.

 " Brown?"

 " Confused." he was thoughtful for a second.

 " What does it mean when they change without stop?"

 " I'm not sure never seen it happened." he wasn't satisfied with that answer but I couldn't do anything about it. I really didn't know it's never happened to me. I watched as he started grabbing some meat he was cooking.

 " Would you like some?" I stared at it for a while.

 " What is it?"

 " Rabbit." ewww is he serious.

 " No, thank you. Bread and water for me pleas." he reached for the bag next to me and took out some bread and cheese. Handing them to me.

 " Thank you." we ate in silence, and we continued that way after we were done. I started to yawn.

 " Sleep we still have ways to go."

 " How long will it be?"

 " At least three more days if it all goes as plan." and with that I went to Demon and fell asleep the same way as before.

      I watched her as she fell asleep. I had really enjoyed talking with her, and it had me confused. I had never enjoyed a woman's presence before unless they were spreading there legs for me. I was not liking this, not at all. This little mouse was more dangerous than I taught. Tomorrow I will ignore her no matter what happens. And with that taught the prince too fell asleep.
