I finished reading the Beautiful Creatures series and Oh. My. God! I never thought it would end like that! I loved the series very much so I hope this fanfiction will be good to all fans (like myself!) of the series!
Disclaimer: I do not own an of the characters in Beautiful Creatures or the series, but if I did you'd better bet I'd make a little short story like this!
The morning sun was so bright I had to roll over and just ignore it, to sleep just a little while longer but it was the shifting against my side that had me staying still however and I slowly, ever so slowly, opened my eyes and turned my head a smile already curving over my lips. Lena slept peacefully, her hair spread out in wild curls across the pillow and across her face, her lashes rested heavily on her cheeks like black crescent moons, her lips parted slightly with her soft breathes.
I felt my heart skipping quickly as I rolled to my side but facing towards here even if the sunlight bothered the absolute hell out of me she was the one specific person or thing- though I can't call her a thing- to open my eyes too. She shifted groaning softly then her lashes fluttered softly and opened gently revealing beautiful gold and green eyes. I still loved her eyes, one perfect green like a Light Caster and one perfect yet a bit scary, golden yellow eye of a Dark Caster but that's what made her beautiful even now.
"Morning." I murmured to her as as sleepy smile crossed over her lips gently as one of her hands reached out grabbing my hand and one rested across her stomach like it had when she fell asleep and she squeezed my hand.
"Morning." She replied then yawned out loudly as she smiled and I sat up with her curled against my side even now, her head was pillowed by my lap and she smiled rolling onto her back looking up at me.
"How'd you sleep?" I asked smiling down at her as she squeezed my hand softly. Lately Lena had been having very weird sleeping patterns so the fact that she slept as deep and as long as she had made me feel relieved.
"Like the dead. I love sleeping with you, I'm glad Uncle Macon let you sleep here." She replied smiling sweetly in her typical Lena way that had my heart fluttering against my chest.
"I'm glad he let me sleep here too. Though I don't think he counted on us sleeping in the same room seeing as he put me in the farthest guest room from yours." I grinned as she laughed out, the sound like bells and it had me grinning wider.
"True!" She laughed as she said it then smiled brightly up at me. "I love you."
"I love you too. Strange to think that I moved in permanently, my dad got married to our old English teacher and we're closer than ever." I didn't really think about it too much, just projecting my thoughts out but me and Lena knew I was leaving out so much more. How Link would come around to talk with us and argue with Ridley, they way John and Liv would be laughing and joining us in conversations, how Amma would be baking up a storm in the kitchen. Those were the things about summer I was missing right now and now that everyone was either scattered or gone, it was a bit painful.
"I know what you mean. I miss how things were before hand. But I'm also happy I got you back, that your dad is happy, that Link and Ridley are making each other happy in their little weird way, Liv and John are having the time's of their lives and I got you." Lena gently said as her eyes pierced into me, softening me up and I smiled gently at her.
"That is very true. Everyone has their own form of happiness huh?" I moved my free hand down cupping her cheek causing little jolts of electricity to jump up between us like usual but the soft sweetness of her face was something I never missed feeling with the burning heat that used to accompany me touching her.
"Come on, I think Kitchen is cooking up something good." Lena grinned sitting up only to sway back landing right back in my lap and I frowned in concern.
"You alright?" I asked trying to keep what small trickles of concern and panic I had back as she blinked in surprise but smiled at me like it was nothing.
"Just a little head rush. Don't worry so much Ethan." She told me with a roll of her eyes sitting up a little slower this time and I couldn't stop myself from roaming m eyes over her body when she slid out from under the sheets.
If I could say it, Lena's naked body was more beautiful than when she had it covered up, just the slopes, curves and little dips of her body that drove me crazy, how her skin was just as white as her face and was just as sweetly soft and warm. She must have caught me looking for she grinned as she bent down picking up her discarded pajama pants, then slid on one of my shirts I had and I grinned sliding out of bed also pulling on a pair of my shorts and a short sleeve then walked around the bed to Lena reaching my hand out and she took it smiling.
"You know I can't help worrying about you, L." I tried to sound serious but grinned when she giggled sweetly and swung our hands slightly.
"I know. It's just how I feel about you." She replied then a blush crawled up her neck and pooled into her cheeks and I smiled leaning down kissing her hot cheek.
"I worry too much for you. Especially now, I mean your powers are all over the place like before and your having weird sleeping schedules. Doesn't that mean something to you? Something to worry about?" I asked raising my brows at her as we walked down the hall and she sighed out gently then grabbed m arm hugging it with both of hers and looked up under her lashes at me.
"But it's nothing I told you that. I'm perfectly fine Ethan! It's just because it's summer, the heat and everything and the changes, it's not something to really worry about. Okay?" She tried using her sweet and cutesy tone as she looked up at me and I smirked shaking my head chuckling under my breath softly as we came to the stairs that would lead us downstairs and to the kitchen, and also, to Macon he didn't know we were having sex underneath his nose he had to know it last night.
"Okay." I sighed out but smiled at her broadly and she smiled back just as huge as we walked down the stairs and she slid her hand right back into mine
"Besides if I felt like there was honestly something seriously wrong with me then I would be telling you and telling Uncle Macon. So this is nothing trust me, after all we've been through this is just a little small thing." Lena pointed out as we paused outside of the kitchen, my mind wondering when we even made it down the stairs and I scowled playfully at Lena.
"You're using your little magic tricks on me. You'd be so depraved and alone without me. I've opened many doors to you, oh sweet wise one." I joked which caused her to bark out a laugh but she smirked turning to face me and her arms winded up over my shoulders, her fingers tickling the little sensitive spot where my hair met my neck and I grinned.
"Hmm maybe you should open one of those doors now, oh wise master." Lena replied raising her brow at me and I bowed my head down until my lips were just inches from hers.
"Mmmm maybe I should." I murmured allowing my lips to brush hers just barely and I leaned forward kissing her deeply. She replied to the kiss rather enthusiastically moaning quietly into the kiss and I wrapped my arms securely around her waist holding her against me tightly, never once losing the thrill of having her so close and never losing the interest of the thrill. She shivered as her breasts pressed to my chest and my hand flattened out on her lower back and I felt my cheeks burn as the kiss slowly evolved and became deeper, more passionate and I felt like if we had our own house we'd be making love right there! But it was the sound of a throat clearing that had us breaking apart and I swore my face burned so hot it could have rivaled against the suns.
"I'm not sure about you, young people, but I sure would like to eat some breakfast that Kitchen so kindly made." Macon stated making Lena's face turn red also but she smiled at him pulling away from me and leaning up kissing his cheek softly. She then grabbed my hand tight pulling me into the dining room and we sat down side by side and Macon took his usual seat sitting down.
"Good morning, Uncle Macon." Lena said smiling as she looked at him and I just stared at the table top like it was the most interesting thing in the world to me.
"Good morning to you and to you Ethan." Macon politely replied as he smiled gently but I continued looking at the table when the breakfast seemed to come out of nowhere and I picked up my fork slowly but I was taken aback when Lena began to scarf down her food like she hadn't eaten anything in weeks and as I watched her in rapt fascination I noticed Macon was also staring at his niece in the same manor. She was shoveling food in her mouth as fast as she could open her mouth and when she swallowed hard and picked up her cup of water chugging down half of it down she looked at both me and Macon.
"What is it?" She asked innocently as she lifted a forkful of eggs to her mouth then stopped when she caught us looking at her.
"It's just- well how should I say this, you are eating like-" Macon paused seeming to struggled to come up with a term not offending sounding.
"Like you've never eaten anything before." I finished for Macon hurriedly which rewarded me with an appreciative nod from the man.
"Oh. Well it's just that I'm really really hungry." She replied blushing self consciously as she put the fork down and she looked down at her plate. "I've been so hungry lately."
"I know. Maybe you aren't being fed enough or you're growing." I theorized out loud then blushed but Macon nodded thoughtfully.
"You could be growing. Maybe it's best to get some food when you're getting hungry." Macon said to Lena as she continued to blush but I smiled at her and she smiled back when Macon stood up. "I think I'm going to go to my study and look into this."
"There's nothing to look in to-it." She sighed out the last word as Macon disappeared from sight and she leaned back against her chair but when her stomach snarled she began digging into her food all over again. I looked at her as she scarfed down her food quickly and smiled to myself but even so I was feeling very concerned for Lena. This wasn't typical attitude and behavior for Lena to have and it was so strange to see her like this.
"Lena is there anything you really want to tell me?" I asked hesitantly as she ate and when she swallowed the food in her mouth she looked at me and leaned forward kissing my cheek.
"It's okay. I'm okay Ethan I promise." Lena replied to me smiling gently as her left hand began to gather her last bite of eggs. "Between you and Macon I swear I'm going to start thinking there is something wrong with me."
"Alright alright, I'll stop talking and worrying about it. Just tell me when you feel like there really is something wrong. Okay?" I told her as she looked at me and she popped her last bite of eggs into her mouth but smiled at me slightly then began chewing and lifted her bacon up to her mouth and swallowed.
"I promise I will." Lena replied grinning bright then began to dig into her bacon and toast making me smile at her and I began to eat my own food but even as I ate I couldn't help but feel like there was something wrong or even new going on with Lena. I just couldn't place my finger on it yet.
