Ch 1. Kara walked down the halls on the arm of what she thought as the most enchanting guy. Cyrus's eyes danced as he watched Kara walk down the halls his eyes traveled to her hips, which were swaying enticingly. He started to walk behind her he listened as she complemented the guy she was with. "Oh Hayden, that's fascinating but I don't think I can go with you tonight." "But why Kara you promised to watch the meteor shower with me?" "Well.I have this paper I have to do for potions." Poor sap thought Cyrus, yet another notch on her belt of many guys. "Oh well I guess I will see you later then." "Yeah bye" said Kara sweetly; she felt the familiar cold stare on her back. Hayden left and she turned and faced Cyrus's cold blue eyes. "Cyrus, Why am I not surprised you are behind me again?" "We must talk love." Said Cyrus stroking her face with a gentle but cold hand. Draco watched as Leila read her potion book. Leila looked up "What?" Draco shrugged "Nothing, I was just thinking." "That's dangerous," said Leila with a slight laugh. "Yeah well what can I say? I like to live dangerously." Said Draco with a sardonic grin. Leila snorted and shook her head and returned to reading about the different mushrooms and what potions they belonged to. "Cyrus please, you were the one who told me that you couldn't protect me." Said Kara turning her head away from his touch. "I can't, but young one you are mine." Said Cyrus placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Cyrus you made it perfectly clear you didn't want me. Did you change your mind?" asked Kara not willing to look in his eyes. "Kara" Cyrus placed his hand at her chin and made her look into his eyes "I can't protect you. But, I can't stay away from that which is mine." He bent down and kissed her deeply. Draco place a hand over the page she was reading. Leila looked up at him "Draco, I need to study. What do you want?" "I just want to know, why don't you fear death?" asked Draco seriously. "I never said I didn't" said Leila already bored of this conversation. "Then you do fear it?" "I didn't say that either." Said Leila a little annoyed now. "Draco death is just part of life, there cannot be a beginning without a end." Said Leila looking into his eyes. Draco smiled "Why is it that every time we discuss something you quote something from a book?" "Because, love books speak the truth. And this time I quote from me not a book." " Well then bravo, you have just won your case my dear." Said Draco with a lazy smile. Leila couldn't help but smile, "And why sir do you wish to annoy me every time I have a test to study for?" asked Leila in a serious manner. They were lounging under the trees near the lake, Draco was supposed to be studying for the same test as Leila but he was distracted by his many thoughts. "Because you like it." Said Draco seriously. Leila laughed elegantly "And how, do you know this?" Kara kissed Cyrus back with equal passion. She pulled back a few minutes later her lips rosy from Cyrus's eager kisses. "Don't Cyrus, you said you didn't want me. Because, you didn't follow the rules, were you not the one who told me to go to Zed. Well, I did and now I have my own followers. I don't need you to protect me anymore." Kara didn't notice the tears rolling down her eyes as she told this lie, Cyrus did. "Love don't cry, you may not think you need me but, I need you and you do need me." He brushed a cool hand down her cheek wiping away her tears. Kara sobbed softy "No Cyrus, you didn't want me don't make this harder on me, I've moved on I suggest you do the same." She turned and walked silently down the hall her head in her hands. Cyrus followed swiftly; they came to an open empty classroom. He grabbed her arms and pulled her in the room and shut the door after them. "Cyrus, why can't you leave me be." Cyrus bent low and kissed her cheeks it was a mixture of Jadore and salt and something else that couldn't be described. Kara pulled back "Cyrus please." she trailed off unable to look into his eyes. Cyrus closed the distance between them and kissed her softly he pulled her close to him, Kara snaked her arms around his neck pressing her body up against his. "I know it because you show it by responding." Said Draco smiling devilishly. Leila laughed again, she shook her head and kissed him softly. Draco pulled her onto his lap and kissed her deeply. Leila put her arms around Draco's neck and kissed him back. Draco draped his arms around Leila's waist and started to kiss her neck, he kissed along her collarbone. Leila giggled a bit. Draco blew in her ears his warm breath felt nice against her cool skin. Leila sighed softly happiness like this couldn't last forever or could it. Kara forgot where she was, she couldn't see or hear all she could do was feel and to her that moment in Cyrus's arms felt right. Cyrus deepened his kisses. Kara pulled herself closer and kissed him back lost in the moment. She pulled away a few kisses later "No Cyrus this isn't right Zed would not approve." "He doesn't have to know." Said Cyrus kissing her lightly on the neck. Kara pushed him away "No Cyrus, I won't let you pull me back into the world that you pushed me from to begin with." Cyrus couldn't say anything when she said that. She disentangled herself from his arms and walked out of the classroom shutting the door behind her. To him it sounded deafening in the silent room. Draco's incisors brushed against Leila's soft skin. She smiled silently to herself, I'm glad I stayed with him she thought smiling down at him. He looked up and kissed her deeply. Leila let herself fall into a complete state of not knowing where she was. She kissed him back passionatly.
