Falling Stars

12- BONDED?!?!?!

Chapter 12

"Most Powerful? You guys are the collections of stars! How in the world am I the most powerful if I'm just one?" I asked tiredly.

On second thought I don't think I want to know the answer to that. So many questions unanswered. Besides, there's this feeling in my stomach that something isn't quite right.

My Dad rose from his seat and stepped into front of me. "Honey I think you've been through enough tonight. No more questions until you're nice and rested," he said looking into my tired eyes. He placed his hands on my shoulders and it was like everything that happened to me finally set in and just made my whole body slump. My eyes began to droop further and my feet felt like lead blocks as my Dad waved everyone out the door and Leo walked me up the stairs.

"Come on, almost there. You know it would've been smarter for him to do this after you've showered cause sis, no offence, but you’re kind of ripe."

And that was the last thing I heard before I slipped into exhaustion and black enveloped me.

~Narrator~

He stood tall and strong with power and love. As she stared into his eyes there wasn't anywhere else she'd rather be. But she had to stab the back of her lover in front of his eyes. He knew this, but his love held him hostage surrendering him to her.

They are lovers yes, but it is looked down upon, for he was removed from his position because of their love and their meetings are secret and rushed, every glance savored until the next. It was slowly driving them insane, but they accepted it, felt it was for the best.

Selfish she was, that's why she couldn't think of any opposing factors coming to play in their covert affair. She refused to believe that everything they had was a lie. Love spelled backwards is Evol and is, either way, a deadly weapon.

Before she took action she really tried to find an excuse and not have to kill the one she loves. She still wanted to be with him after everything.

She raised her hand ready to blow and betrayed herself by letting a tear escape, it burned a path down her cheek as her body fell lifeless.

I woke up the next morning with a feeling of a new beginning. I don't know where these dreams are coming from, but their cool I guess. It sort of worries me that they feel so real. That's thoughts for later though. Right now I have to get to school.

I don't know why, but instead of feeling like this huge weight has been placed on my shoulder with all this new knowledge, I feel like one has been taken off and a lighter one replacing it as the daily troubles of a normal teenage girl's life. Now I feel like when I walk into that school hallway, I'll be a new person with the same normally dirty slate I have created for myself. I just feel normal.

After getting ready I started off to school a new person. No thoughts really paid to all the burning questions in the back of my mind.

When I got there I walked to my locker, just like always, and started to pack my books when someone came up behind me and covered my eyes. I don't know who it is but judging by the scent of his familiar smell of freshly cut grass and cologne I can only guess it's, "Josh," I voiced the thought.

He laughed and leaned on the locker next to mine putting himself in my view. "Hey beautiful, how's my favorite girlfriend?"

"Shhhh," I said looking around nervously.
