Chapter One
Close your eyes!" Davin yells as he grabs me tighter. I close them and try to relax a little. I started to feel my heart pumping really fast almost like its going to rip out of my body. I really hope Davin can't feel it.! I got really scared and nervous for a sec then when I finally relaxed. I tried loosening the grip I had on Davin's chest .. I feel bad because I must have freaked him out. "...I'm sorry..." I whisper under my breath, trying to keep my eyes closed. I began realizing that we were going down and not jumping back up. Then my feet
Touched the ground, I bent down on my knees, from being tiered and looked at the landscape, a little mad at my self for being so afraid of heights. Then I felt Davin's hands land lightly on my shoulders. "...Are you ok?..." I heard him say. I looked up and saw his bright red eyes staring directly at me. I
looked back down and said " I'm sorry, I don't mean to make you worry, I'm fine." He almost immediately replies, " don't scare me like that. I felt your heart beating rapidly. I think we'll rest here for now." I was embarrassed, I couldn't say anymore so I nodded. I guess I really scared him. After a good half
hour, Damon set up a fire and started cooking the fish we had saved for the trip. I sat by the fire and looked at the sparks hastily make their way onto the sky and disappear. The sun was beginning to set, I can't believe we spent most of the day in mid air Damon has got to be really tough! I think smiling a little at that. As sparks fly I start to remember home, I really want to be home. What would I be doing now if I was home? Probably studying and on the computer, I miss moms home cooking! And dads warm hugs and advice. What would he tell me to
do in a situation like this? My sister probably is worried sick and my brothers as well. I know dads searching for me and moms probably worried silly! ...I miss you guys... I think to myself as the stars begin to come out. PLING! I hear a pebble land
by my foot. "The fish will get cold if you keep staring at the stars like that." Davin snarls as he hands me a stick with the fish on it. I smile and take the fish. "Yeah. Guess you're right!"
Soon we finished our meals, we both
kinda started asking questions about each other, not in a weird way though, " so,.. um Davin?" I say hastily. "What?" "Can I ask, what were you doing in that bush by my school?" I looked at him, but he looked away and suddenly an awkward
silence grew. "...isn't it obvious?.." he says sounding a little annoyed. I hardly think its That obvious. "Not really. How long have you been in my world?" i ask curiously, "It's how many times." He quickly replies. " I needed to keep an eye on
you. Its my duty to make sure your safe," "why?! What's so important about me?
What am I supposed to do?" I say frustrated. Davin looks up at me. "Don't you remember? You had to do it a lot as a kid." Davin says with a confused look on his face. "I don't remember anything from my childhood. I lost my memory of anything before my seventh birthday." I say looking directly at Davin. He looked
really surprised. "Oo I see. That's how then." He says in a low tone. His look changes again,.. he looks almost sad. "I'm tired, sorry for asking those questions." I say as I lay on the floor and put the leafy blanket on top of me. "Goodnight Davin.." I finally say, I close my eyes and think to myself for while, about the whole day, especially what just happened. Then I drift off to sleep. ~I look at her as she sleeps on the other side of the fire. So she doesn't remember? She must be frightened to be in some strange land. I remember my first time... "Davin! Are you paying attention?!" The village leader yells.
"Yeah yeah I hear ya. Just keep going!" Damon snarls " fine. Once you've taken the light essence. The portal will open. Once there locate her and be sure that she is safe. The onime are closely approaching her." "How will I know it's her?" Davin asks. " you will feel her Heart beating as if it was your own.
And she will have a mark on her back that glows golden." The village leader says. The village leader then laid a hand on Davin's shoulder. " you must watch her until the time comes." Village leader whispered. Davin kneeled down, "I will protect her with my life if needed to."~Once I found the light, the portal had opened. It was like a vortex of darkness but I jumped through, it was thrilling! "I wonder if she changed since then..." I said while feeling warm air gust through, after I had landed it was in a rainforest of Brazil. "Now I must find her." I searched for two years, until I finally ended up in America. From there I began to feel her presence closer and closer. The day I found her was a day I wouldn't forget. It was raining, I had finally began to feel her heart beat, and I grew accustomed
to this culture (even though I traveled back and forth from my village to this world.) I looked all around and stopped in front of a school building it was by the river and was very large. I heard bells and immediately put my guard up. Then hundreds of people began to rush out of the building, I hid in a tree and
kept my eye out in case she was here. THUMP THUMP THUMP. I felt her heart. I moved my head frantically looking for her. "NO WAY!?" I hear a girl yell, I look in that direction. And surely I felt as if it was her, so I listened in...
" that's a little embarrassing, don't you think" a woman said in a hushed tone. " no! Not at all, I mean, I think he has some real guts if he was able to tell you directly right?" another woman said, she looked a bit embarrassed herself,. I try to get a clearer look at her so I come closer. After a few minutes the area was empty except for her and her friends. "Are you sure? The bus might not even come today.." her friend says to her. " na its ok. I think it'll be here today see you guys later!" She says as she waves bye to them, " ok then bye!" Her friend says while walking away with her other friends. She's alone now... I think to myself, I have to confirm it's her. I try to get a good
look at her back for the mark the a girl comes up from behinds her and... "BOO!" She says. THUMP THUMP. I felt it again.! "O my God! you scared me!" She yelped grabbing her chest. "That was the idea!" The mysterious girl said back. "Just wanted to scare you! aha Ok? See you tomorrow! " The girl leaves. She turns around to wave good bye, and there it was, the mark glowing gold on her shoulder! She's the one!... from then on I watched her closely, and there had been some close calls, but I managed to keep them all at bay, and then, a year later. She was mistakenly sucked into the vortex while I went in to give village leader the full report. I haven't been able to open the portal since. I stayed up the rest of the night making sure the area was clear.
