Her mouth dropped opened at the sight before her, as she stared at the waterfall, too many thoughts cam rushing through her mind. Just who is this man? How many does he have? Tilting her head to look at him, she found him staring at the waterfall too, with a small smile on his face. She couldn’t help, but wonder who he is. She’s always getting curious by each seconds that passed, she couldn’t believe that she knows nothing about the first friend she was going to make in her entire life, but then, she couldn’t stop the happiness in her. Having a friend have always been her dream, and now that it have finally come through, she didn’t wanna ruin it with questions.
“Do you like it?” His voice suddenly came on, jolting her out of her trance. He batted his long lashes, as he stared at the waterfall, not taking his gaze off it, not even for a second, he seemed to be enjoying the sight, it seemed entertaining to him, especially when having his new friend by his side.
“Yes, it’s beautiful.” She smiled happily, as she glanced at him, and took her gaze back to the waterfall. The sudden urge to ask him the question, which have been in her mind, suddenly rushed through her, but she tried as much as to restrain herself, thinking he might get angry, or even disappear, if she ever asked the question.
“What’s bothering you?” As if he read her thoughts, he turned to her, and asked out of the blues, as his eyes hovered over her, like they were trying to look into her soul for answers. He waited patiently and curiously, to know what could be wrong with his new friend, hoping to get a good reply.
She raised her gaze to look at him, as her eyes locked with those beautiful grey eyes, piercing through her soul, as she felt her heart, racing faster. The whole world seemed to stopped walking, as she stared into his enticing eyes, lost in his world, too many questions came rushing through her mind, she just couldn’t help, but wonder if the man, standing before her, is her mate, she just couldn’t help, but pray to the moon goddess, that the young handsome man, end up being her mate, that is the dream that she so much wants to come through.
“Octavia!” He called softly, bringing her out of her trance, as she batted her lashes, before turning her face away, fighting the urge to clutched her chest, from letting her already racing heart, popped out of her chest.
“Ye… yes… I’m fine.” She gave him a small, but nervous smile, gulping down nothing, as she stared back at the waterfall, but her mind was far away, as an awkward silence filled the atmosphere, just the sound of the birds, and the soothing breeze, could be heard
“I’ll tell you what I know, who knows, you may need my help.” He broke the awkward silence.
Raising her gaze to look at him, her face brightened, as she nodded quickly, anticipating for it. She just couldn’t wait to see what he’s got, she found herself getting curious by each seconds that passed.
“If you have power, I can teach you how to control and make use of it…, in short, I can teach you how to control your demon.” He released the news, which she’s been dying for so many years, to know, and now that it’s here, she wouldn’t miss it for anything.
“Wow, that sounds great, I’d really love to try it please.” She said in curiosity and excitement.
“Ok, that’s a deal then, we’re starting it by tomorrow or next, but for now, you have to go home, it’s dangerous out here.” He said, and her happy face, suddenly dissipated into a sad one, as she wore a disappointed look. She didn’t want to leave, she still wanted to spend some more time with him, she just wanted to be with him, but too bad, that there isn’t anything she can do about it. Who is she to stop someone, who is doing her a favor? She wished she could have people around her, like every other persons, she wished she could be happy and have what she wants, like every other persons, but luck is not always on everybody’s sides, and she happens to be one of those, whom luck doesn’t shine on.
Wearing a small smile, she nodded slowly, and bade him goodbye, before walking away, as she finally let the tears, which have been threatening to escape his eyes, finally found their ways out of her eyes.
Meanwhile, Kai followed her secretly, making himself invisible, he wanted to make sure that she got home safely, it is his priority to keep her safe, and that exactly, is what he’s going to do. He kept following her, until she suddenly stopped walking, and looked around.
He kept wondering if she noticed he was following her, but then, he decided to be calmed, and see what she was up to. She watched as she suddenly turned to another direction, and started going farther into the woods. He stood staring at her, wondering where she was going, but he wouldn’t know if he don’t follow her, right?
Letting out a small sigh, he started following her, as she took different routes, hiding from tree to tree. He suddenly stopped walking, as it dawned on him, where she was going, his heart skipped in fear, knowing what will happen, if she got caught, but then, he couldn’t bring himself to stopping her, neither could he follow her to the place, where he’ll be caught, if he go close…
Octavia POV
I didn’t know what kept drawing my attention to the garden, where I saw the mysterious man, but whatever it is, that kept drawing my attention, I must say that it was really strong, as I found myself, getting curious, as his image flashed through my eyes. I know he is a dangerous man, from the information I got from his aura, I just wanna see what he look like, I wanna see what his face and his eyes would like, I wanna know if they are as dangerous as his aura.
Striding down the woods for some minutes, hiding from tree to tree, in order not to get caught, I finally got to the beautiful castle, and without waiting for anything, I found my way through the secret passage, and soon, I was already in the garden.
“Wow, beautiful.” I smiled, as I sniffed from the flower, before moving to the other one. I spent minutes, admiring the beauty of the flowers, forgetting that I wasn’t in my father’s small garden, not until I heard a cold voice behind me, which made me froze on my spot, sending shivers down my spine.
“Who are you?” Came the cold and dark voice…
