a/n: please review, because I really need constructive criticism on my freeverse techniques.
the sun rises.
magic doesn't come from a wand.
magic comes from the inside.
and this one - she's got it.
percy meets a girl. her name is audrey.
the world will never recover.
she has hair like onyx and eyes like gold.
he has hair like ruby and eyes like sapphire.
you could say that they clash a bit.
she's all {seductive smiles} and [smoldering gazes].
and at first, he's just another play toy.
but then - then the magic shows.
he falls in love with her like a crash.
it's sudden and unexpected and it hurts.
if only he had been watching where he was going.
she has an eye for the extraordinary.
why does she keep looking at him?
percy weasley: the resident overachiever.
only the good ones last longer than a night.
only the really good ones last longer than a day.
(he lasts three months.)
september, october, november.
and then she's gone.
off to paris, france, for a modeling job.
life without her is not living.
life without her - even for two weeks - is not livable.
so he goes.
he's being clingy, he knows.
he's being ridiculous.
but he can't help but follow when audrey dashes off to the city of love.
percy, she gasps when he finally finds her. what are you doing here?
I had to see you, he answers, eyes drinking in the darkgolden sight of her.
she is beautiful, nothing less than beautiful.
that night, they meet for dinner.
after dessert, they stroll outside, and walk through the crowd, to the eiffel tower.
(hands laced and bodies apart.)
when they reach the monument, she stops.
her eyes are vulnerable and big and he's never seen her looking this small.
I love you, she says. she is nervous.
strangely, love makes her so delicate and small, while it makes him so very huge.
I love you, too, he says.
then he lifts her chin up and kisses her beneath the eiffel tower.
and she is medicine for the world. he knows this when her lips collide with his.
[she is the epitome of impossibility.]
the sun sets.
