~Nightly Adventures~

I looked up at the stars before I walked in making note of the many constellations. As I explored the wonderful scenery I tried to find something to draw. But nothing seemed to catch my eye. Believe me, it was beautiful, but I want something astounding. I began humming a tune as I ventured deeper into the forest. The tune was 'The Hanging Tree' from the Hunger Games. Soon enough I was singing the words to myself as I continued looking for something to draw. I'd be lying if I said the forest wasn't breath-taking. There were all sorts of different trees here and there. Ones that twist and ones that turn. Some are tall and fat while others are short and slim. The way the leaves and branches let in only rays of moonlight make the forest look enchanted. Maybe even magical. The sounds as well! The sounds of the woods are truly something you could fall asleep to! Like the quiet hoots of an owl and the crunching leaves of critters. The tranquillity and eeriness of the night. The soft breeze that ruffles the leaves on the taller trees. It's all so chilling yet peaceful. But, there isn't one place in the scenery that I could draw onto my pages. No meaningful images here. Suddenly, I heard the clinks of a bey coming from somewhere to my left. I followed the sound to find one Free De La Hoya throwing Fafnir up in the air. Huh, and here I said I probably wouldn't run into him. He was lying down in a clearing and I can't help but admire him. How his pale, still face looked in the starlight. How mesmerizing his throw and catch is. Everything about this moment made my heart race and I couldn't figure out why. I was standing near a tree at the edge of the small clearing contemplating whether I should draw this scene or not when Free suddenly stopped his actions. I thought it was because he had noticed me so I held my breath. But instead, he looked the other way at a brown, furry lump of adorableness. A deer! I almost squealed with delight at the sight of such a creature. Free had his eyes on the deer as he tilted his head to the left ever so slightly. The deer, intrigued, mimicked the boy's actions. Free chuckled and I swear my cheeks went red. His chuckle, it almost reminded me of her laugh. It's like his laugh was the one I've been longing to hear for quite some time now. All of a sudden, the deer ran away. Free sighed.

"Who's there?" He asked loudly, not turning his head or anything.

"Sorry, I'll go." I called out, hoping he wouldn't turn and see my cheeks. I started walking away when I heard a distinct 'wait'. I stopped and turned around.

"What are you doing here?" Free asked. He had turned my way now and his eyes met mine. They had some kind of emotion in them but I couldn't make out just what it was. That got me frustrated since I could read everyone back home and at BC Sol except him.

"Looking for something to draw. The forest is beautiful at night and there's nothing interesting back on campus." He tilted his head at me and spoke again.

"The forest is pretty big and hard to find your way around even in the day. You want me to show you the way back?" My eyes widened slightly before I blinked and they were normal again.

"As much as I appreciate the great Free De La Hoya offering to be my chaperone I must decline. I can find my way around this forest so you don't need to worry." I smiled. He rolled his eyes.

"Right." I nodded before I left again. As I was walking I resumed my humming from before and clutched my sketchbook closer. My eyes darted around restlessly searching for anything inspirational. I started singing words again when suddenly I heard footsteps behind me. I stopped in my tracks and just stared ahead waiting for him to say something.

"Found something to draw?" Free asked in a monotonous voice.

"Nope, just wanted to acknowledge the kindness you've shown me by following me around and making sure I don't get lost. What a gentleman you are Freya." I started sarcastically. I could almost feel his burning gaze on me from behind. I stiffened when I heard him get closer to me. He grasped my hand and pulled me along with him. I looked at him then our hands woven together then at the floor. He was walking silently fast. He pushed us through a bush that revealed what looked to be a gazebo ruin with a Beyblade stadium in the centre. My grey eyes sparkled with delight.
