Chapter 24: Name

[KAITLIN'S P.O.V]

A flash of memory suddenly erupted on my mind making me close my eyes and clutch my head in pain.

"You're not successful with being quiet you know"

Hearing that voice seems to dull the ache that I was feeling, letting me open my eyes to be stun for a moment to see that I was not inside the room full of mirrors but in a forest.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you" a little voice said in hush tone.

My curiosity is getting the best of me again. I walk towards where the voices were coming from even though there's a chance that I could be killed with what I'm doing.

I caught a glimpse of the little girl looking at someone in front of her but I can't seem to see him/her due to the tall bushes.

I made my way towards a near tree to fully see what's happening but I never expected to find that the little girl was looking at a teenage guy.

The two seems to be on their own world until the little girl utter the words.

"No wings..." Disappointment was evident in her tone making me smile at her cuteness.

But what amazes me was the way the teenager laugh at what he heard.

His laughter is contagious and music to my ears. It even gives me a warm feeling that is currently flowing deep inside me.

It feel so right to see and hear him laugh even though I don't know him at all.

The strange pull that I had felt with Neil and Archer is nothing compared to the one I'm feeling in that instant.

It's much more powerful and demanding as if he has the right to own me, the right to be with me and also the right to control me.

I watch the scene in front of me with interest but then time stop, freezing the two characters.

Slowly, I could feel something crawling in my legs and when I look down I gasp.

The tree's roots is clutching my feet restraining me from any movements.

When I was about to pull it off of me, the brunch of the tree restrain my arm.

Slowly, the tree covered my whole body. My entire body is immobile making me fear for my dear life.

The last one that the tree covered was my eyes and that's when my consciousness fades but not before I caught a last glimpse of the guy.

I could feel someone's hand on my cheek as it caress it slowly, soothing my very skin and every time its fingertips touches my cheek, warmth and comfort lingers.

Slowly opening my eyes, the first thing that registered in my mind is the blue color of the room which was supposed to be the color of gold.

Then after that, deep red eyes like the color of the gemstone named ruby.

I blink twice, to see if those pair of ruby's would disappear in my view but it didn't.

The ruby colored eyes suddenly look brighter. Enchanted by those mesmerizing eyes, It was too late for me to realize that I was lying down on someone's lap.

"Oh My!..." I exclaimed as I bolted upright and distance myself from the stranger.
He looks at me with both curiosity and amusement.

He has disheveled raven hair, ruby eyes, long eyelashes, strong jaw, luscious lips. he was wearing a black t-shirt that fits his upper body giving you the view of a fitted man and his loose jeans gives your mind a wonder at what is beneath it.
