As soon as the final bell for school rang Charlie hopped up and made a bolt for the door she didn't stop for anyone not even Anna who she usually walked home with.
She glanced over her shoulder and as expected there he was trailing her. This had happened before he would trail her and find out her every day routine, then when he was sure he had the right person he would pounce. However this time Charlie felt something new she had never had a problem with boys but the way this seeker's eyes pierced hers and the way his slender yet obviously strong muscled chest was hugged by the tight fabric of his dark Grey shirt made her want to turn to him and embrace him and pour her dark secrets to him.But she knew better.
Instead of turning left on the trail that led to her lonely home she turned right. Of course, he followed. The trial came to a small opening in the middle of the forest. It had been almost an hour of walking but she was determined. She walked into the middle and turned to face the handsome stranger...*Two years ago....*
"Charlie hurry they are coming!"
She ran to the window that looked over the front yard and sure enough there he was tall, buff, and eyes that were the same as hers. Charlie grabbed the bag the held her belongings and dashed down the stairs.
"I am so sorry Cleo! You have been so good to me."
"It's fine, Charlie we will hold them off but you have to go or else they will capture you."
"No! It's not fine this whole mess is my fault I should have left before it got to this point!" She half sobbed,"You have been the most amazing friend a person could ever ask for and I am eternally sorry."
"Charlie look at me. I don't care if I am going to die because you told me your secrets you are not as terrible as you think, and because of you I have learned more these past few months than I could in an entire life time." Suddenly there was a loud banging at the door, Cleo brought Charlie into a tight in brace then hissed, "Now go! Save yourself or this will all be for nothing!"*Present time*
Here Charlie was again. Another seeker why wouldn't the council just let her leave in peace?
Her eyes met the strangers and with as much authority as she could possibly muster she asked.
"Who are you? I am assuming the council sent you to kill me."
He nodded to her as an affirmation of why he was here. Then opened his mouth.
"My name is Damon and I was assigned to kill you by the chief elder."Damon POV
He stood there blocking the trails exit. She wasn't surprised, he couldn't imagine how many times she had probably been through this. With the council after her it wasn't a surprise that they had sent just about every seeker in existence to get her.
Like her, this wasn't Damon's first time either. But for some reason he felt drawn to her. It was no secret that she was very attractive with her long curly blonde hair, her slender frame that she held very well, and her eyes that everyone who had ever been in contact with the council had.
Damon however knew that it wasn't just her looks that made him hesitant, he didn't know her whole story but he could tell she had been through a lot and despite all of it she was still strong. Damon had been trailing her for months and today was the day he would complete his mission, he wasn't going to let those months of hard work go to waste just because of some dumb emotions.
