Just a little moment; should I continue with this? R&R! Xx
Myrnin's POV:
I drink in her beauty and think to myself, Jesu she is divine. Her mind. Her personality. Her body... And yet, as I stand here staring at my little Claire, I know that nothing will ever happen. She has her Shame (is it? I forget his name) and she would never want anyone else.
I sigh and she turns to me with a playful smile on her lips that invites me to kiss her, right here, right now, but I restrain myself as she says "Whatever is the matter now Myrrnin? I know you're frustrated that the chemical doesn't work, but we will find a solution; we always do." And with that she returns to her test tubes, shutting me out for her true love; science.
Truthfully, I have no clue as to what she speaks of, but I reply anyway, just to hear her voice once more. "And how do you plan to do that Claire? What could possibly be done?" She looks up instantly, those incredible eyes lighting up in the way that they do only when she's excited, and it does something to me, that light. It's as if you're the only person in the world she wants to talk to, like no one else matters, though I know she doesn't mean to do it, bless her, it's as if you can see into her soul in that moment. She's so incredibly open, something only possible for the innocent, and whilst the beast within me wishes to crush that, to steal her, I restrain myself, if only to retain that light. That light. That impossible light. Living as she does, having seen what she has seen in these last few years, my little Claire should have lost this open, free nature by now. And yet here she is, staring at me with those beautiful eyes and the impossible light.
She begins to speak and I don't concentrate on her words, I merely look into her eyes until she shouts "Myrnin! Are you even listening to me! Potassium chloride yes? Hello?" I simply nod - I assume she is correct - and she smiles sheepishly before saying "Okay Myrnin I have to go home now, it's late. I'll be here at the same time tomorrow...?"
I nod vigorously and she rolls her eyes as I bow grandly at her feet, simply to amuse her. It works; her giggle confirms that.
As she walks away, I whisper "Never loose it Claire"
She stiffens and says "What?" Without turning around. I regret saying anything instantly and try to think of something to say.
Just go for it, my mind whispers, and for once, I trust it. "Claire. You're so pure and beautifully untainted by this horrid town. Never loose it, you hear me. Never. Too precious a thing to loose."
She finally turns around and looks deep into my eyes as she sighs "Myrnin..." And makes her way towards me quickly. She cups my face in her small hands and says "I won't. I promise. And never ever count yourself as something that would taint me; you've given me so much, and for that I will always be thankful."
With that, she walks away, and only the memory of her touch remains. I sigh, content, and think to myself, maybe she's right. Maybe I could be good for her.
Or would I steal that impossible light?
