A matter of Time

Meet Darren- strong, fierce, arrogant and full of hatred. He cares for little to nothing because of the one thing he craves the most. Love.
Meet Hope- shy, sweet, goodhearted and genuinely lovely. Living a quiet life with her bestfriend, she wouldn't hurt a fly.
Plot twist: they're soulmates.
A witch binds Darren to Hope, in the hopes that love might change him, resulting in a telepathic connection that has Darren visiting Hope every night in her dreams. While Darren becomes insanely infatuated with her at once, Hope only thinks he's a figment of her imagination. Things take a different turn of events, however, when Hope realizes everything may not be what it seems. One thing she realizes the hard way; Darren is real and he is hell bent on finding her.

"It won't be long now, love" he said, his voice sending shivers down my spine. "I'm getting closer, I can feel it." He turned me around to face him. "I know" I said regretfully. "Come on, Hope. Accept it, you will be mine" he said softly, his thumb grazing my cheek. "I've accepted, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it" I said coldly. "But it would all be so much easier if you just stop being so stubborn, and tell me where you are" he said, sounding a bit annoyed. I looked up into his icy eyes, the same ones that I had found so beautiful once. "Dream on" I spat, but he merely smirked. "I already am, aren't I?" he said, his breath fanning my face. "But this dream will come true, very soon, when I finally find you. And I will find you... it's just a matter of time."
