To each their own

chapter 2

           Ever since the two pillars appeared on earth 12 years ago Kane Kalnazer has been plagued by an image of a girl with red hair and clothes that looks very strange but what captivated him most was her smile there is a way her lips carves up perfectly, for a long time now since the pillars appear his mind have been filled with something else rather than the sorrows of things that walk at night.

           Over the course of 12 years, scientist have studied the pillar and deduced that it was a gate way to another place, it serves as a door, but the fear of not knowing what awaits them at the other part of the gateway scared them, A council called UWC was formed ‘the United World Council’ to serve as an oversight to the research. Kane Kalnazar’s Dragon tattoo felt at peace like it was reacting to something on the other side of that gate, at times Kane found himself wanting to cross over to the other side but he restrains himself, but the pull he felt to the redheaded girl was overwhelming, it was a sure thing, he knew she was from the other side.

        Throughout the years Kane became accustomed to the life to the forest, he built a cabin suitable for him alone with solar panels for electricity to keep him connected to the outside world. After sitting outside for quite some time he decide to get in for the day since it was already nightfall. He stood by his door when a blinding white light came from the gate way, next was a ball of fire, it came from the other side, Kane saw he fire getting bigger and bigger each time then realization hit him like a rock, before he could move the ball passed right by his cabin and crashed on the other side of the forest. For a moment there he procrastinated for he didn’t want to be discovered by the people living nearby but something just light up in his head as he unconsciously started moving towards the crash.
           Reaching the crash site he was met by a hole in the ground the size of a crater. He descended into the hole, inside was a human being. He watched closely as the fog cleared out, it was the red headed girl. He rushed to her side as he used his jacket to cover her nakedness, the moment his hands touched her skin her felt this surged o power it was like nothing he had ever experienced.
           At that moment, he’s dragon came alive, he felt the overwhelming presence. Then he was brought out of his daze when she moved, he looks down at her what he saw blew his mind out of proportion, he always taught it was her smile that made his heart flutter but seeing her eyes this up close it’s just wonderful. He watches, as she stretches out her and to touch his cheek before she fainted, all his mind could come up with was
“Who are you?”

    Priscillia stire awake from her slumber, she squints her eyes trying to get a clearer image of her surrounding, it looks like a room, she stood up halfway when she realise she was only wearing this strange top but underneath the blanket she was naked panic start to down on her as she looks around to see if she was alone but nothing was she was alone, she stood up completely now she sees a form of clothing neatly placed on the edge of the bed she carries it, it looks like a trouser she wears and walk towards the light coming from below on the edge of the room, there was a stair way she walks down cautiously to the downstairs there was nobody, she knew somebody brought her here but why does this place looks abandoned, she went to the big cushion in the center of the room there was a big plasma tv hanging on the wall, she looks in awe “this world is truly ancient they still have those”, a sound peaks her interest she listens closely it was like somebody is chopping down wood, she went to the door opening it gently and was met with blue eyes, startle by his presence by the door she punches him straight on the nose, that's when she remembered this is the man that saved her, she rushes to him to apologize but the moment she touches him she was met by an array of pain, sadness and guilt at the same time, she grabbed her chest as the feeling became unbearable and painful, now kane was the one looking at her “what happened” he thought to himself, he reaches and carries her to the cushion and lay her there, before he went to the kitchen to prepare her some food to eat by the time he was done she was calm priscillia watches as her mysterious saver drag a stool and place a plate of food in her front.

       “I know you are hungry eat” he says he saw her watching the food warily he reaches out and took a bite before settling down on another chair, priscillia ate the food but there was no water she looks at him, his eyes were closed.

        “excuse me can I please get some water” she says her voice spooked Kane not only is her presence calming but her voice is making him fall for her more, he stood up and fetched the water.

       “Wait how can you speak English” he asks backing her.

       “Magic the moment you said it I learnt it” she replies collecting the Cup.

     “Nice by the way my name is Kane”.

“Am Priscillia Argyle”.

“Who are you or let me say who are you to me, because I can't say its a coincidence I have been seeing you for the last twelve years only for you to crash on my doorstep”.

“Well how can I explain, I too have been seeing you since I was a kid but you are different now with the beard and many other things even though you look much more handsome without the beard”. she spouts the last part before she could control herself, Kane just smiles.

“So what are we?”.

“We are mates”.

“Like Spouse”.

“No!” she says abruptly “since we haven't completed the mating bond”.

“Mating bond what's that”.

“Nothing”.

“In your entire world you couldn't find a mate”.

“I didn't choose, the gods chooses the mate”.

“Well I guess we better start getting to know one another” Kane says with a smile but in truth he wanted her close, she just stares at him, he is her mate, but he is different, there is this hole in the heart, this pain she felt when she touched him, at first she thought about leaving, but now she wanted to stay.

“Wait sorry can I ask you a question?” , kane asks interrupting her thoughts
“How old are you?”.

"why?".

"No reason at all"

"Im 22 same age as you"

"I'm not 22"

"How old are you then?"

"Just turned 50 last month" with that Response she looks at him in surprise now that she read his magical energy it's nothing like she has ever seen.
