Under the Moon

Chapter 14

I slammed on the bed and sighed.

" Sleep it off. We will see everything with a better eye tomorrow." Alarik said patting my leg.

I nodded and rolled up in the Embrun position.

" Sierra. We will figure this out. We will meet at midnight at the old house okay?"

Yeah. If you are alive by then.

I heard him sigh. " Sierra, wanna know something?"

What ?

" I can still remember your red eyes. When I first saw you, I actually thought you had red eyes, but I was wrong. I can remember it clearly."

I smiled softly.

Really?

" Yeah. And I'm sure I will always love those eyes of yours."

And I will love yours.

" Mine?"

Yeah, they have a shade of silver, that I have never seen.

Something still really worries me.

" What is it?"

That we know nothing of your parents yet. We only have been talking about me. But what about you?

" I don't matter Sierra. You are the most important here."

I shook my head violently.

Don't say that Emrick. Why do you have to die every time?

Why your parents didn't come to see you?

Why did you fall in love with such a greedy person like me?

Why Emrick? Why?

My eyes stung and tears fell down my cheeks.

His soft voice soothed my aching heart. " Sierra?"

" Sweetheart, a greedy person would never ask why. And why me?Well, I don't know, but right now we have to survive tomorrow. After we do and we will, we will find my parents okay?"

I wiped my eyes.

He was being strong for me. He always does that.

He always listens without saying anything he is thinking.

I wanna do that same thing.

" You already do."

He said softly.

My eyes went wide.

No, I don't.

" Yes, you do. You just don't realize it. Just by hearing your voice, I can breathe. Seeing you howling at the moon, makes my heart race so fast, I can see it running away from my chest..."

I chuckled.

" But mostly, your beautiful heart, is always what puts a smile on my face. And how even if your whole words came crumbling down because you fell in love with me, you didn't falter. I love you, Sierra. No matter what."
