----Akemi----

I was lying in the tent stirring with excitement for Elijah’s return. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and kiss her lips. “So when do you think she’ll be back?” I asked Bliss. She rolled her eyes.

“Will you shut up about her already? The whole night it’s been Elijah this, and Elijah that.” Bliss complained. I poked her side and she twitched from the ticklish spot. I rolled on my stomach and began singing some cheesy Disney song.

“Got the fuck to sleep.” Aiden bellowed from his pillow so it was muffled.

“No, you go and suck a penis and go to sleep.” I replied laughing.

“I swear I’m going to gut you like a pig.” Aiden replied. I laughed. “I’m not joking.” I stopped laughing and then began again as I walked out of the tent and bounded along the barren plain. The day had gone by slow, and boring. Elijah was the entertainment, well to me anyways. We had a fire that was now beginning to die so I threw some more dead twigs in it. They cracked and snapped from the heat and I laid on my back staring at the cloudy starless sky. The stars were hidden from our eyesight by 24.894 cubic meters thick pollution clouds. They were filled with galactic toxins, radioactive cosmic energy, dirt, rubble, and bacteria. Not a good idea for Ezekial orGriffinto ever fly through. A beautiful girl emerged from the darkness and I realized who it was immediately, Elijah Williams.

“Elijah!” I called getting to my feet and rushing towards her hugging her tight. I kissed her lips, but they were tense. She was stunning. Her hair was in large curls that complimented her soft cheeks and her shocking blue eyes. A large bow held back the front layers in the back and gave of that appealing extra aspect to her outfit. Her beautiful black tutu skirted dress hung to right above her pale knees and she was a little taller than me with her black heels on. Her eyes were staring at the ground and she took my hand. “Where are we going?” I asked worriedly.

“For a walk.” She murmured. We walked in silence for awhile until the tent was out of site.

“Please tell me what’s wrong.” I asked with sadness in my voice. I couldn’t stand seeing her likes this. She tilted her head up and looked me directly in the eyes.

“Griffinand me made out.” She murmured. I laughed and smiled. This was what was wrong? I expected this to happen if she had to play the role of his ‘girlfriend’ for the night, because he was to stupid to avoid crazy Hazel. I knew she’d force them to do something like that. I had pushed out all the jealousy while she was away already, so I was fine. It didn’t mean anything. She would never feel that way for him.

“I know, I expected that. It was for a role, because he was stupid and got himself in trouble with that crazy chick. She’d love to see him make out someone in front of herself. She’s weird. It’s fine.” I told her rubbing her arm. She looked down.

“She didn’t make us, Akemi. We were forced to dance. That was it. She told everyone to kiss and he told me he thought I wanted to. So he did. I didn’t stop him. I’m sorry.” She told me with her voice in a hushed tone full of guilt. I didn’t know how to respond. I was crushed. She had cheated on me? I thought… I thought she didn’t likeGriffin. Well, maybe she didn’t. He had kissed her.

“Do you have feelings for him…” I asked slowly trying to keep my voice from wobbling. She looked me in the eyes with shock on her face.

“Of course not! I didn’t want to kiss him. It was spontaneous and I wasn’t aware of what was happening until a few seconds later and I pulled away and left. I could never have feelings forGriffinlike that. That’s insane! He’s practically like my twin.” She exclaimed. I sighed a breath of relief and a smile flickered across my lips. I felt crushed though. It was like someone punched me in a stomach. I knew she didn’t like him, but the fact thatGriffinwould do that to me… I was enraged. He was a friend, a mentor even. I was crushed that he had pulled her into his sick selfish needs like he did with everyone else, and that she hadn’t stopped herself for a few seconds. At least it didn’t continue like the other victims had done in the past. The many, many, many, other victims toGriffin’s charm.

“Do you want to break up?” She breathed slowly. My mouth gaped open and I instantly held her tight against me. I rested my head on her shoulder as I held one side of her face.

“Of course not. Elijah you mean the world to me. I love you.” I whispered so deep with feeling and emotion I almost teared up, but I was a man. I would not cry, that was the woman’s job. Except Elijah didn’t cry she didn’t say anything. She just let out an approving hmm, and kissed my head. I raised my head and kissed her. She kissed me back and we kissed until eventually I was on top of her on the barren ground. I couldn’t think of anything except kissing her and taking her dress off, but I wouldn’t do that. I’m not that much of a pervert. Yet. Once I get like eighteen I probably would be. I wondered if I would still be with Elijah then. I hoped so.
