Awake in a fantasy (draft)

(Chapter 6)

* Ashton Ortiz *

Kai wrapped the bed covers over her whole body, curled up in a ball, so she was completely unnoticeable. Cute. Thank god my uncle wasn't here to interrupt. I reached for her covers and pulled it down lightly to reveal her face. Kai's hair was messed up a bit and her eyes beamed at me. Then I reached for her forehead again trying to feel her temperature. Kai slapped my hand away, hard. I looked at her slightly lifting my eyebrows, showing the crease on my forehead with a frown. What was that for?

"I don't need your help. I can do it myself." her voice sounded frustrated.

"You know you can at least thank me for giving you shelter." I shrugged my shoulder still holding my innocent face. She was different from anyone else I knew, she was real.

"..thanks, now please back away from me." her voice was harsh, I couldn't help but smile. Kai kept her face stern, her eyes wide. I backed away from her bed and got up to my feet. Kai slowly got up cautiously keeping her stare facing at me and backed away. As she backed up her back smashed against the doorknob. I frowned as her face expression changed into a painful looking one. I walked over to her trying to show her the door.

"Get away!" Kai's look turned serious. I backed away with my hands in the air as if I did a crime. Kai opened the closet door with a surprise, then noticed the door beside her and marched out of the room slamming the door behind her. I couldn't resist my laughter and coughed a couple times, she was definitely different.

* Kai *

Smooth Kai, smooth. My back throbbed in pain, I was such a clumsy idiot. When Ash stood up he was basically hovering over me, he's so tall it kills. I put a hand against my cheek, my heart thumping, weird. Pervert. Molester. But I was blushing, why?

I guess he'd been in Ryunmei for a long time in order to have his hair grow up to his neck, but it was cute. Oh my god, cute? What's wrong with me. I stormed my way out of the house, I have to be honest, it was HUGE. Just near the exit my eye caught on a sword. It illuminated the entrance, looked like it could cut through a tree with no effort. Was he a hunter just like Raine?

Raine? Oh shoot Luna! I desperately fell to the ground looking everywhere with just my head.

"I'm not a hunter, I use it for safety." came a voice from behind. Oh great, Ace was watching me. I turned to look at him, his legs crossed a bit holding Luna in his arms. True, I examined him, a hunter wouldn't be wearing a blue mid sleeve hoodie and dark grey sweats. I glared at him and snatched Luna form him.

"I was on my way-" I started. Ace's arm grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. What was he doing?! My face was completely red. Ace leaned in towards my face. As he got closer I could tell his light skin was perfectly smooth. What was I doing, I wanted to slap him. Ace reached for my forehead and peeled the damp towel that he'd exchanged when we were in the room earlier. Dammit, Kai you're a retard. What was I thinking. Ace stood back up with a tempting smile and pushed my shoulder back.

"You were on your way?" He stated. God I was furious. Why the hell.. I slapped his face so hard, my hand was swelling and stormed out of the house outraged slamming the door behind me.

I stopped marching heavily once I exited the seducer's house. Trying not to squeeze Luna. But outside, was amazingly tantalizing. A hot spring was far off in the distance letting out a fog fly in the tropical air. The grass was silver and the trees where white. Not winter, but spring. My jaw dropped, why couldn't the real world look like this? Oh yeah, laws of physics. Dammit.

I turned to my right only seeing an ocean like cove glistening in the moonlight. It was definitely alluring and reminded me of a beach. The only bad thing was, it was right beside Ashton's house. A couple metres away, which was dangerous, but had a good setting.
