The Violin, The Girl, and The Fire

Chapter Ten

(I really love this song. Listen to it while you read. Please comment and vote, also share! Thanks!)

He stares at the beautiful girl as she slumbers, this would be the second time. She really did look like everyone else from the Time Dimension: Her skin being a cool olive color, her long brown hair, and her green eyes. Anyone could mistake her for a handmaiden from one of the villages. As he sits there, with his legs crossed, he thinks: Why did the violin choose her? How did this all happen so sudden-so fast?

She wakes up in a peaceful way: Her eyes opening slowly, and she takes in the amazing environment around her. What a beautiful place! Then she remembers, 'today we leave this place.' Another thought comes to her mind: 'What am I going to sacrifice?' She can't-just can't throw away the one gift her best friend once gave her. It's the only thing, besides a picture of the two, sitting beside her bed in her dorm room.

"I don't want to leave this place," I admit, sitting up and rubbing my eyes. Zander, however, doesn't answer instead he gets up with his backpack in hand. Last night... I'm not used to this, waking up and expecting to have a relationship with the person I just fucked. I just get up and leave, never talk to them again-relationship. Does he want a relationship? Wait, I just barely met him, what the hell am I thinking. Well technically I've known him for about a week, and we already know a lot about each other... God, my brain is going to explode.

"I know it is spectacular, my favorite out of the main Dimensions... I honestly hate all the rest of them." he holds out his hand to me, I grab it and get up on my feet.

"Even your own dimension?" I sling my backpack over my shoulder.

"To an extent, yes."

"Finally," we walk in another cave, I hold Blurt as we walk. "We are almost there." the cave is a low blue pastel color. I'm not ready to leave this place, I'm not ready to leave Blurt either. I look down at the little guy and give him a smile, a strange creature really, but nonetheless totally awesome.

"Why is this Dimension one of the mains?" I ask.

"Some people believe that it is a place of euphoria. Almost like a dream world if you would say."

"So does that mean peoples' dreams come here?"

"Yes," he sniffles, the sound echoing. "It is where we are going... The energy of this world, if you put it that way."

"Coolio..." the air feels thick between us. How am I supposed to act after what happened? I feel the warmth of his hand next to mine, and slowly-just slowly his index finger touches mine. Our hands find contact with each other, we intertwine our fingers together. The feeling is almost hostile in a way, but I like it.

"Taya," the contact from Zander's hand diminishes and I whip my head around to see the platinum blonde-haired boy. His lips are a little apart, and his gaze looks bitter, almost dead. "You're so alluring." his voice is strong and seductive. His eyes... The fire. He disappears and I somehow come to reality, Zanders' hands are wrapped around my shoulders and he is shaking me gently.

"Taya?"

"Wh-what happened?"

"You stopped walking, and kinda spaced out." his hands reach down and grab mine.

"I'm okay," I say after a second. He looks down at our hands and slowly comes in to kiss me. He steps back afterward and rubs the back of his neck. That was fucking weird... But I kind of liked it. Who is that boy and why does he keep showing up in my life?

"Have you uh..." he clears his throat. "Have you thought about what you are going to sacrifice?" he keeps his gaze on the ground.

"No... you?" he brings his hand with the watch up.
