The train rumbled on and shook her dark curls as she laid her head on the cold window.
Shivering slightly I lifted my head to look at the stranger in the seat opposite me .He had dark brown hair that shimmered in the light and you could see the red swell of his lips in the light of the carriage the only light around because we were in the dark. His dark eyelashes fanned across his pale cheeks that were slightly raised and he was smiling but he sat still and beautiful like a statue. He had the stature of a sixteen year old; about my age, yet he also looked young, happy, untouched, and innocent.
I sighed and turned back towards the window .It was really cold .I wrapped my arms tighter around myself and slid deeper under my oversized black jumper. And stared at my hands .They where pale enough to rival the colour of the beautiful boys yet they where not pale but pallid, unhealthy.
I smiled at that, they would .I stayed in the dark ,not enough vitamin E my doctor proclaimed but I did want to go outside when I saw the teenagers frolicking around looking happy but I never was asked so I stayed at home and listened and read about what I should be, how I should behave but it never felt right, maybe because I was wrong.
Shaking my head trying to distract myself I looked at the boy .Trying to memories every contour of his face and wondering about all the slight movements that could indicate anything about the beautiful boy, I was being rude staring at him in his sleep but I was transfixed in the stop marvelling at his beauty but then his faced changed so suddenly that I let out a startled gasp as his features turned harsh and hard, his lips pressed into a rigged line and his fore-head creased. He looked hostile but I still stared like a deer in the head lights. I couldn't stop looking, it was slightly frightening.
Then the most unexpected thing that could have been expected happened .He opened his eyes. I was startled but I still stared .The motion of him simply opening his eyes was so graceful and his eyes where themselves stunned me .They where a dark, dark onyx that looked like they where swirling around in pools sprinkled with white chocolate coloured flecks that made his eyes look even darker and more mysterious.
"Hi"
My cheeks immediately started heating and it was one more reason why I hated my complexion. I blushed right down to my toes and stuttered as I answered in barely a whisper.
"Hi"
The boy shuffled closer and stared into right into my eyes, it was disconcerting but exciting in a strange kind of way. We just stared at each other for a moment the moment could have been a minute or an hour but I wouldn't have noticed because he didn't move and I certainly could not.
I don't know when I noticed but I noticed I couldn't breathe, I felt a familiar darkness creeping up on me limb by limb but I didn't want to be taken, not yet because I was scared. When the darkness came it took things away, it took my family, my friends, my life and it was going to take the boy , so I looked up and pushed it away but I before I whispered
"Run"
