The Hunted

Chapter Three

The sun is already up and I watched the natural, beautiful sky wake. Now I'm sitting in the same grassy patch I sit in every morning. The most beautiful spot in middle of the woods with the most elegant thing to watch is definitely a memorable moment... even though I do this everyday.

I lay back and take a deep breath to release all my worries. Today is going to be a good day even if it means staying here. Yeah, I'll stay here all day. I won't have a care in the world and I won't be disturbed.

I shut my eyes and doze off. I don't have any worries and all the stress just melts away.

"Wake up! Hurry before they find you! Come on, we have to go!!"

I awoke from someone yelling and telling me to run and hide. The voice was deep and, in a way, it had a sexy linger after it. I don't even know if that's possible. When I got up and ran I didn't get the chance to see who was in a hurry. I was thrown into a bush and down tumbled a very unique, yet gorgeous, boy.

As he watched carefully I noticed he wasn't even breathing normally. It didn't even seem like he was breathing! He had shiny hair that was a silver color, but his roots were a lightning blue. His eyes were even the same color as his roots and his skin had the healthiest glow I've ever seen.

"Why aren't you breathing?! What are we doing in a bush? Who are w-"

"Stop speaking," his voice was so perfect. It was deep and there was some kind of specific noise that drew my eyes straight to his lips. When he spoke his lips moved with such grace and peacefulness that made me want to desperately kiss him.

I heard speaking outside the bush so I immediately drew my attention out there. What I saw was surprising and I was kind of confused. It was a group of people with hunting equipment. Not just all regular shotguns and bows but weird things. Like a tomahawk. Why the hell would you need a tomahawk to hunt a simple deer?!

Then as a hooded woman turned and lowered the dark hood I noticed something. I knew exactly who it was. It was my mom... does this mean the other hunters are my family?

I was too scared to emerge from the bush mostly because I didn't want to show the boy I knew those people and I wanted to see what they're doing out here.

My mom cautiously started searching around. When no one was looking I grabbed a rock and tossed it to the other side which made everyone run towards the noise. A few minutes later we emerged having awkward silence.

I decided to say, "Who are you?"

"My name is Isaiah and I suppose you're wondering why I was hiding from them?"

"Yes, actually."

"I can't exactly tell you, but be careful around them. Actually just stay away from them because they're dangerous and I don't want someone so beautiful getting hurt."

"Its going to be hard staying away. I kinda live with them."

"Are you one of them?!"

"It doesn't feel like I am..."

He kissed my cheek and hugged me. I was to dumbfounded to do anything. I couldn't stop blushing either. He ran into the deep woods and I headed home. I decided to feel my cheek and I noticed he left a wet residue on my face. It wasn't saliva, but it was more like a few droplets of juice. It was a light blue and when I got home I went straight to my bathroom and felt my cheek again. This time when the residue got on my finger I couldn't help myself...

I licked my finger and it tasted like blueberries. Next thing you know a blue strip struck my hair and I fainted.
