"Eat," he instructed her.
"I'm not hungry," she replied.
"Eat!" he repeated, this time more demanding.
She grudgingly obliged and took a bite. Suddenly, she felt the hunger she had been suppressing for some time gnawing at her insides. She started eating the warm food faster.
"That's what I thought," he muttered under his breath. Hearing him, she picked up a carrot from her food and threw it at him. He swiftly leaned to one side and avoided the projectile. He narrowed his eyes and looked away from her, shaking his head, but not before she caught the small smile on his lips. She smiled to herself and returned to her meal.
The boy studied her while she ate. She had long dark hair, full lips, and perfect ivory skin. She was slender with no obvious muscle on her. He had tousled, short dark hair and a chiseled jaw. He was built nicely, a tall frame with lean muscle rippling under his pale skin. Her eyes glanced up into his briefly, before she returned her gaze to her fork. Her five foot height barely reached his shoulder. But none of that was what people noticed first. It was their eyes. Neither had common colored eyes.
She finished her meal and warily walked to the window. She pulled back the curtains, not sure what she was expecting to see past the sheet of rain pounding down. A knot of anxiousness formed in the pit of her stomach. She sighed and sank onto the couch. He sat down next to her and he turned on the television. Some news channel was on, neither of them paying much attention. She rested her head on his strong shoulder. Suddenly, he tensed up. She sat up quickly and looked towards the curtained window. She looked back at the boy, and her eyes locked with his. He could see some emotion quickly flash in her eyes. Fear? Anger? He couldn't say for certain, it had been too brief a moment. In that instant, they knew what had to be done.
Author's note: Yes, a short preface. I apologize, but the next chapter will be longer and possibly posted tomorrow. I have up to chapter 5 written so far, but I'm a bit stuck, so when I post chapter 5, I will ask for opinions on how you think the story should go. So, please review! Love, bellaxmorte
