Chapter 4

Lucian's Pov

Twigs cracked underneath my feet, shoot! I need to keep quiet I musn't be caught! Rushing through the darkness I twist and turn through the trees. Slight and nimble like Jack the fox. I know it is against our laws for us to do this. We arn't meant to love demons! I don't care though, if I have to be rebellious to be with the one I love so be it.

Flicking through my memories I smile. The time we held hands under the autumn leaves, our first kiss, the letters we wrote and the poems of love we sent that we hid from prying eyes. Our love must not be known, oh the tragedy! I know that soon my feathers will be stained black and ripped from my back for I will no longer be able to keep this a secret, it is just to much.

I stop in a clearing. I hear a rustling in the trees and my lips twitch at the sides as they turn into a joyous smile. It is returned by a smirk as always but a beautiful smirk none the less. I feel the wind caress my hand and I know straight away what is happening. Wind manipulation. A talent of my loves.

A pair of crimson irises pierced mine. It's like they could see into my soul, like they could devour me whole, the feeling was consuming as I took a step forwards. Fingertips touched my cheek, my lips and they traced my jaw as if discovering my face was the most amazing thing in that moment.

"Damien" I whispered.

"I see you made it" he whispers into my ear. I bite my lip and look into his eyes. He takes my hand and starts to lead me away from the clearing.

"A chase in the woods?" I ask.

"No cat and mouse tonight, my love" he says. He was always so sweet I don't care what others said.

"Where to?"

"Close your eyes" he says covering my eyes with his icy hands.

He led me into the darkness with ease. I stumbled and he caught me before I fell.

"Can I open my eyes?"

"You may" He let his hands slide away to reveal a lake of frozen solitude. It was beautiful. Icy tips of winter dangled from the trees and leant over onto the lake as if they were streatching out like a lazy cat in the sun and the snowflakes cast an eleborate pattern under our bare feet.

"I love you" I whisper. he turns my face towards his with his fingertips in a graceful gesture. His lips touched mine with a burning passion I had never felt before. Suddenly I heard a cracking of twigs and a gasp. We swung round to be faced by a pair of startled owl eyes. The angelic girl knew what we were doing was treason against our kind. Love between a demon and an angel was never to be seen, it was just wrong in the eyes of others.

"You! What are you? Why?" she cried at us.

"I...I please" I begged not knowing what to say, I'd never been caught.

"Come girl" Damien instructed and she stepped closer. Her stroked her wings and I felt a pang of jealosy.

"Don't touch me you, You Creature" she spits at him.

"You will tell nothing of this" he growls wiping spit from his face.

"Watch me" she growled back with the same force as she stalked off and for the first time in centries I was actually scared.

"Damien save me" I begged him as he pressed me closer as if trying to protect me even though he knew just as well as I did that he couldn't.
