The art of being alone

Chapter 7 part 2

                At first I thought I was dreaming, I probably just fell asleep while they were talking that's it. But as much as I willed myself to wake up, I didn't. I stayed there in Isaac's arms suspended in mid air for what seemed like hours before we finally landed on a thick tree branch.

                I have to admit Isaac was attractive and being this close to him gave me a sort of complete feeling. I liked the way his bangs fell into his face and how his muscles were very well defined in the grey shirt he wore. He made me feel all blushy inside with butterflies galore but I could never let him know that.

                Not to mention he just sprouted wings and flew...so I probably would be telling that to him oh I don't know never.

                " Janice? " Isaac asks. I simply shake my head and reply " Its too much, Isaac I cant do it. " I was under so much stress with having to take care of my mother and sister while my idiot father goes and sleeps around. Not to mention juggling school and my sanity. 

                Then this boy shows up and expects me to put it all on hold for him by telling me about some crazy supernatural crap? Like what the heck dude?! I didn't need this I didn't even ask for this!

                " What Janice? What is too much?" Isaac asks folding me into his arms, but I squirm around until he lets me go.

                " Isaac I barely even know you...." I start to say but get nervous about his reaction. I'm fiddling with my hands in my lap as I choose my words carefully so I don't upset him. " Isaac its just that I dont have time for this...whatever it is. I have a family and school and well a life."

                He gets up and sits next to me. I scooched slightly over to fit him in without pushing him off. He leans his head against the tree " Janice are you saying that I don't have a life? " he laughs and looks at me.

                Leave it to Isaac to turn this into a joke. " No Isaac I didn't mean that..." I start but he cuts me off " Because you would be absolutely right." he replies with a smile.

                I feel too nervous to laugh seeming I am on top of a very high tree and next to a big overgrown boy-bat-bird, thingy?

                " Come on lighten up." he says and elbows me a little, but I quickly give him a warning glance telling him that if I fall off I'm taking him with me. He laughs and stands up walking to the edge where he dangles his feet.

                 " Do you know how long I've been alive Janice? " the question is sudden and it takes me a little to answer " I don't know 18-19 years? " I say casually, yet still preferring to stay away from the edge.

                " More like 118.." he scoffs and I stare at him wide eyed. " How is that possible? " I ask so silent that I thought the wind carried it off but when I was about to repeat myself he answered " As you can probably see.. " * gestures to wings * "... I am not human. So I can be one of six things, Vampire,Werewolf,Pixie,Siren,Angel, Or Dark Angel. " he says watching my reaction with intensity.

                I am quiet for a while until I finally speak up " d....do all those things actually exist? " I stammer afraid of what I know to be the truth. " Oh yes and much more. Those were just the ones that I would probably be." he says still looking distant. I hold myself tighter, " So which one are you?" I ask slowly and try very hard to keep my voice steady.

                Isaac chuckles darkly and I feel a chill pass through me, his aura is so powerful and menacing I can actually feel it radiating off of him. Its so thick I can practically see it. I feel a lot of coldness and cant contain my shivering. Though he doesn't seem to be done yet soon a wave of sorrow fills me and it hits so hard I almost cant breath, the pain is unbearable and the air is so filled with the darkness that its excruciating to even breathe. I am on my hands and knees coughing up the black aroma that surrounds him.
