A.N: Written and dedicated to my sister. Thank you for being one of my best supporters, with out you, this would probably still be in the Scooby-Doo bag unposted.
I woke up from the brink of another bad dream. Sweat making my sheets damp and uncomfortable. 'Damn' I thought as I calmed my breathing and slowed down my heart rate.
Looking up at the clock, I cursed when it read that it was 2:45 am.
Getting up, I quickly went to the bathroom and washed the perspiration off my face. Looking into the mirror I noted the tired eyes and warn face and ground. 'Maybe a walk will help tire me out…' quickly grabbing a trench coat and hat I left to go top side.
Once I reached the surface I headed strait to Central Park, knowing that very few people would be their, this early in the morning.
Still I stuck to the safety of the shadows of the trees and high bushes.
I inhaled the cool air, letting it fill my longs and energize me. 'It's peaceful here…' I thought as I walked deeper and deeper into the park, the city noises seemed to fade the farther I went, revealing more soothing sounds and…is that singing? I stopped and strained my ears until they picked up the sound of someone harmonizing softly not far away.
Moving silently he came across a clearing that was well hidden and spotted her.
She was lying on her back looking up at the clear night sky, singing softly to the stars.
Her voice was something that he never came across before. It was soft and warm, like the sun on a spring day but was seductive and husky at the same time. He marveled at how such a sound could come to be so powerful and pure from her.
Her melody was soft and sweet but was lased with sadness that he felt like he was intruding on something privet and personal but was to entranced to leave her.
He watched her and listened as she continued her sad song until the end, the air seems to hold her last note a little longer then what seemed possible as if it was as unwilling as him to not hear her sweet voice.
He watched as she slowly got up, not wanting her to stop just yet he stepped forward and jumped when he heard a twig snap loudly, startling her.
"Who's their?" she said as she scanned the area around her. 'Oh shell' he thought as he froze, hoping that she will just shrug it off as an animal or something. "I know you're there" she said her voice strong but her body was tense and she kept clenching and unclenching her jaw.
"I'm sorry" I said as I raised my hands up and walked to the edge of the tree line. "I didn't mean to startle you" I said soothingly, trying to calm her.
"I didn't mean to startle you" he said soothingly, trying to calm down my jumpy nerves. His voice was smooth yet rough, like how waves crashed against the shore.
I stared at the space in front of me, seeing nothing but blurred shapes spanning three feet then nothing. "Uh…It's rude to stare" he said jokingly trying to lighten the tension that was practically strangling the both of them. I flushed and quickly hid my eyes behind my thick bangs "Sorry…I-I just didn't expect any body to be here" I said trying to keep him talking so that I can fallow his voice and walk up to him.
"I couldn't sleep so I thought I would take a walk" he said as I started walking towards him, judging the distance between me and him to be twenty-twenty five feet.
"You walked quit a way, we are a mile and a half away from the lake" I said keeping my voice casual to mask the cautious steps I was taking on the uneven ground. I was fifteen feet and closing.
: I was about to turn around and go back but I heard you sing" he said, I paused when her said this. "Oh" I said, feeling my face heat up.
"What about you?" he asked, as I heard him shift his wait. "I'm an insomniac" I explained "Sleep and me don't get along" I joked, letting a smile spread across my face. When I started walking again and started closing in at eight feet he snarled.
"Don't!"
I froze, shocked and a little hurt, biting my lip, we stayed silent. Slowly I took a step forward.
