What was he doing, listening into our conversation? He had no right, who does he think he is? What if he heard something…the Elementels will get me and I don’t think they will be that forgiving, about this certain situation. I have to do what they would, in this situation, get rid of him. But what if he really didn’t see anything. Damn that arsehole, what has he got himself into.
“Olive” I could hear Alaric’s voice, but it seemed so far away.
That boy could now know what I am. He might know what Ridley is. What if he is one of them, looking for a companion, I say companion when I really mean ‘slave’. The thought made the colour drain from my face and I felt my blood drop to my legs. I remember his sense of fashion. Oh wait, there wasn’t any – just black.
“Olive” his voice sounded less distant, but I was too busy to worry about what he was going to say.
Now I remember him. From his large shoe size to his scruffy blonde hair. How he brushed his messy bangs out of his eyes, when brushing past me. His yellow-amber eyes and luscious, deep red, lips. He was truly and utterly gorgeous. I had to admit it to myself, when I first saw him. How can I see him get hurt? The first thing I really saw was his firm abs when he stretched out, with a sprinkling of hair forming the happiest trail, my eyes had feasted upon. Boy had I seen a few of those. I wanted to feel how hard he really was, but the lingering thought still lurched in the back of my mind. What if he was one of them like Ridley. It would explain the Barbie-doll good looks and his perfect skin. If he is, I remember it’s all just a mirage, showing us what they wants us to see. Someone, somewhere, looks almost identical to them, except a mirage always has one fault, but most the time no one ever notices. The people that don’t become loyal servants, unwillingly, and the people that do, well, no one has ever been known to have noticed one. I don’t want to believe he is one of those god awful creatures, but one must take certain precautions. Clearly, it isn’t right that I want to grope someone I don’t know then and there. Something obviously magical is going on here right? Or am I just horny? Im going to go with magical. I have to find out what he heard for my safety and his own.
Since when did I care about his safety, anyway? You know what I don’t even care I just need to find him… I rolled my eyes at myself for my giddiness.
“OLIVE” Alaric practically screamed in my face. I opened my eyes, which I didn’t realize were closed and he was directly in front of me looking at me lopsidedly. Relief washed over his face as I blinked a few times, to clear the blur that had taken over my vision. I got up and brushed down the invisible dirt off my jeans, whilst using the other hand to pulls twigs out of my hair.
“Is he gone” I raised an eyebrow towards Alaric.
“Who is gone?” understanding overtook his face and he slowly nodded
“Good” I stated, as I lifted the invisibility spell off of us, “Alaric, I’m worried, he could have…”
“I know sweetheart” he interrupted, softly and brushed a strand of hair out of my face and tucking it behind my ear, grinning his 2 year old grin the whole time. “If you want I can keep an eye on him”
“NO” I argued a bit too loudly, causing his eyes to widen. “Sorry” I said lowering my tone, “I won’t let you get in anymore danger, it’s my problem I’ll deal with it”.
“Ok, I respect your choices, but If you need anything”
“I know, come to you” I giggled finishing his sentence.
“Good girl” he patted me on the head and I nipped his arm with my canines, hissing.
“Woah, calm kitty” he laughed at me, backing away. I just stood scowling at him.
People would think Alaric and I as a couple, but we are far from that. The thought is kind of nauseating. I mean the playful banter between us is like a brother and sister, and I we love each other, to earths end. I have never had a real family with siblings and he is the closest ill ever get to a brother. He does worry about me, but sometimes too much, but I still love him. Come on, aren’t all brothers annoying as hell.
“You have to worry about me too much, Alaric. I’m powerful enough to defend myself against most things, that includes a human” I raised an eyebrow with a smirk, twinkling sparkle pouring out my index fingers, even when my inner self was tell me you really think he’s a human.
“I just get into sticky situations sometimes” I finished , not really believing what I was saying.
“And that is why you need me” he stated, matter of factly. “You need a real man to protect you”.
“Who said I wanted you and since when did you count as a man” I say, crossing my arms, leaning back on my heels.
“You obviously want me” he punctuated the ‘want’, “Or you would do you hocus pocus and POOF, I’m gone forever” he dramatically played out his imaginary scenario.
Then he stepped towards me and pulled me in for a hug. I sighed and rested my head against his warm, hard chest. Exhaling out of my nose, I was about to let my eyes flutter close, when I saw him. That guy. I really need to know his name, or at least make one up.
“It’s him” I hissed through my teeth. I threw my eyes open and sprung back, ignoring the searing pain of my legs and head rush.
“What? Where?” Alaric slowly stabled himself against the trunk of the tree. He looked very dazed.”
“Over there” I pointed into thin air and earned a funny look from Alaric, “Oh shit” I cursed.
“Okay he was there but he is gone. Look ill meet you in the lab later, ok?”
“Where are you going” he cocked an eyebrow.
“I’m going to find out what he knows” I said with a serious expression.
“Are you basically saying you’re going to stalk him?” he laughed.
“Absolutely, but I prefer the term ‘privately observing from a distance” I grinned.
“Of course, whatever floats your boat” he chuckled as I jogged off.
“If you in the boat I hope it drowns” I shouted back.
