People may call me young and ignorant but I know what my heart wants. I may only be seventeen, but I understand what love is. I crave it more than anything. My name is Kalisto, I'm stuck on earth. I'm the only one here as far as I know. I haven't seen another being in I don't even know how long. When I was younger I had heard scenarios about the ideas of moving into space. I hope they did. One day I hope To see then again. I hope it's soon. As I wish for that day to come I go along wih my normal routine for the day, eat breakfast, look around, explore, and hope that I'll run across someone. Today my luck changed. I start out into the woods after I eat. The radiation didn't seem as bad today. I walk by a cave and see food. I look around my surroundings carefully. I walk in and step in a trap. It looked like a very small bear trap. I fall to the ground from the pain that is shocked through my ankle. I try to pull it off but it's no use. The more I struggle the tighter it gets. I stop finally after a good hour of trying to get free. Blood is covering my foot. As the raiser sharp blades cut Into my skin. I officially have an enemy. Who or what I have no idea, I wait hoping they'll come by soon.
Right before dusk I hear footsteps quiet but heavier then mine. Whoever it is they're male. My name is Octavies. I stare at this charecter who is in my trap. She can't see me. It's hard for me to beleive that there is another being on this planet. I move in closer, little by little, I see her head turn my way. I pause for a minute. She looks away. I run up behind her putting my hand over her mouth she struggles to try to move out of my grip. I fear if I let go of her she's going to try to kill me. I pull out my sword and gently but precisely cut her neck. She stops. I let go of her thinking she's dead, I look at her she's just in pain. I smirk at myself for thinking that I was scared at the thought of having killed someone.
K: I look at this man as he's staring at me. I apply pressure to my neck to help slow the bleeding. So this is my enemy ? I ask myself. Well if he was trying to become my enemy, then it worked. He kneels down next to me.
O: " Hold still " I coo to her trying to get her to calm down. I clutch my hands over the trap and pull both sides away from each other. She reaches for my shoulder I'm assuming because of the pain. Out of reaction, I punch her in the face. She falls to the ground. I feel bad in a way. As she lays there I hurry to get her ankle cleaned up and bandaged. Then I move to her neck and clean it up. I look at her from head to toe as I clean her neck gently. She is pretty. Though I know by know she hates me. I'm a little saddened by the thought but I move on. I look at the place where my fist meet her face. There's a small cut. I dap the ripped peice that I Tore from my shirt and put it in the puddle of water and dabb her face gently. Staring at her eyes without myself even realizing it.
K: I wake up after the blow of his hand. My head hurts. I had probably slammed my head against the ground after he punched me. I see him staring at me and I look in the opposite direction, feeling a little uncomfortable by it. Before I do I notice his shirt is ripped. He has cleaned the cuts but why ? I sit up and scoot myself away from him. He watches me. I can feel a vibe. He's a little disappointed. I stay away.
O: I knew that something like this would happen. I drop the torn peice of my shirt onto the ground, stand up and start walking out of the cave. I feel her eyes on me. " What ?" I said sternly. She doesn't answer me. I shake my head telling myself to get over her.
K: I watch him as he starts to leave. In a way I almost want him to stay. I tell myself no and let him leave. I lay back on the cool ground.
O: I stand outside the cave, wondering of I should really go. I hear a limping walk headed towards me. I turn and see her looking at me. I almost don't know what to do. " I'm Sorry " I say without even thinking about it. She seems surprised.
K: I look down not knowing how to respond. I walk over to him and start to rest my hand on his shoulder. He pulls a way. I pull my hand ba k towards me almost immediatley. He's just as scared as I am. " I won't hurt you " I tell him soothingly.
O: I look at her, wondering why she's not trying to kill me. Maybe...... Its possible that she likes me. I think to myself. No that's impossible. I reply to myself.
K: I could tell That he is fighting with himself and I wonder what about. I walk a little closer to him unsure of myself.
O: I notice the way she's looking at me. She's so curios. The look on her face makes me smile slightly. I look away from her not wanting to scare her anymore than I allready have. She's standing less than a half a foot away from me when I look back at her. A little surprised by this I step back a little. Why am I Pacting this way?
K: I stare at his facial features. Wondering what he may really be like under all the fear. I don't understand why I am not wanting to run away. Something pulls me to him but I don't understand what. He moves in closer to me. I tense up not expecting it.
O: Do I ? Or do I not kiss her? I can not fight the feeling for some reason I wrap an arm around her waist. I pull her in close to me. Just close enough to where I could feel her body heat. My stomach goes all loopy on me. I have no idea what I am doing.
K: I stay in his arms not really knowing what to do. I am less than inches away from touching his skin. I can feel the warmth of his body hitting mine. I am very puzzled. I don't know if I should stay or leave. We stand like this for a while. I can tell he is thinking about something. At the moment I feel as of we are the only two items on this earth. I stare into his eyes to see if he feels the same way.
O: I look into her eyes. They remind me of the darkest green gem you can find. Her eyes show so much information. With that I am able to make my decision. I give up fighting myself. I can't stand it anymore. I breathe in slowly then out. I close my eyes and kiss her.
K: My whole body freezes not knowing how to react. I feel my thoughts slow down. My lips are entertwined with his. I am still confused with all that has happened but at this moment, I really don't care.
O: She surprises me by kissing me back. I am a nervous wreck. I feel that if I stop she'll want to kill me. Since the others have left to go live in space, the only thing the rest of us know how to do is kill. We barely know how to show emotion. I have no words to tell how I feel.
K: I pull away from the kiss, feeling......well what words can't describe. I look away from him and run off. Forgetting about my hurt ankle. After about 100 feet I stop running and fall to the ground. My ankle is bleeding again. I try to calm myself down. Since I'm out of eye sight from my enemy I pull off my shirt and rip half of it off as cleanly as I can. I slip what is left of it over my head. It now shows my stomach. I am thankfull that that was all. I take the peice that was ripped and tie it around my ankle. As I pull the pain shoots all the way up my leg as I tie the shirt.
O: I kneel to the ground. I appreciate the fact that she didn't try to kill me. I know it had to hurt her ankle the way she ran. I raise my hands up to my head in frustration.
