A/N OK, I've been grounded for like 6 months but I've had lots of time to work on my stories so yeah. (I was grounded pretty much all summer.) BUT I got my horses so it was fine cause you know I spent all my time riding my baby…ok I'll stop ranting now and get on with the story. OK, the first chapter is sort of an intro and the rest is probably going to be in first person. Sorry is it gets a little bit confusing cause I'm kind of sick and it's hard for me to focus…but then again what's new?
Chapter one"It's coming…" A dark haired girl says to her best friend, a big black wolf. "I can feel death growing near…"
The dark haired girl is far from ugly, but she doesn't really like to show it off. She has glowing white skin and purple eyes. She wears a lot of black and usually a black cloak to hide her face.
The girl pulls the hood of her cloak up so there is a shadow covering her entire face and her eyes are hardly visible. The sword at her side glows briefly as she pulls it out buy its hilt.
Her sword is unusual to say the least. The hilt of it is a black that is darker than midnight on a moonless night. Along the blade there are strange symbols and the blade is very long. The symbols glow black again as the girl takes a fighting stance.
She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes. When she opens them again, they are glowing a black-blue-violet-ish color. She holds her sword at the ready and runs towards the feeling of death.
Suddenly, she stops short, in mid swing. She is staring, face to face, with a boy no older than seventeen. She found herself staring at him as she tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear. The girl lowers her sword and takes a step back.
"Zetawin! I've been looking everywhere for you!"
"It's Zeta now." The girl cuts him off before he can finish.
"Oh…right. Forgive me, please, Mademoiselle?" He bows low and continues, "I am Zachariah, but I go by Zach…I am here to tell you something very important."
"I know who you are Zach."
"Oh. You remember? Well…er…I forgot what it was on my way here. You know, you're very hard to find. That sword of yours protects you." Zeta's hand drifts to the hilt of her sword and she runs her fingers lightly over the jewel on it. Then she begins staring at him with wide violet eyes. Another strand of her black hair falls into her eyes but she keeps staring. There was something about him that just drew her attention. He has large black eyes and fairly tan skin. His hair is a mess of black curls, like it always had been. He is pretty skinny and he doesn't look to be that strong.
Zeta tilts her head to the side in curiosity then turns around to leave. "Wait!" He calls after her and grabs the back of her arm. He is surprisingly strong and she turned back around to face him. Suddenly, Zach became aware of the black wolf by her side. The wolf growls low and Zach takes his hand off her.
"Hey pretty boy. You better be a good wolf or I'm gonna leave you behind next time I go hunting." Zeta talks sweet talk with the wolf and he growls playfully at her before he sits down beside her. Both girl and boy stare at their feet in awkward silence.
"Zach…I don't know why you found me, but I need to go now." Zeta whistled and a magnificent black horse comes galloping through the woods. Zeta climbs up on her black mare bare back and looks down at Zach.
"I cannot take you with me…I don't know what you were expecting."
"Zeta…We can both fit on that horse and you know it." The girl rolls her eyes and holds out a hand for him. Zach grabs her hand and pulls himself up behind her. Zeta clucks to her mare and whistles to the wolf and they take off. Zach puts his arms around her waist tightly so he won't fly off the back and he starts to talk to her again.
"You know, my parents asked about you the other day." Zeta looks ahead and wills the mare faster. She looks over her shoulder at him then looks down at her wolf before turning back around and facing forward. She holds onto her mare's silky black mane and leans down low on her neck. Zeta whispers things in a different language in the horse's ear and the horse gallops as fast as she can.
The girl reaches back and wraps an arm around Zach's neck and pulls him down so he's leaning against her. She keeps looking forward with her arm around Zach's neck as they go under low branches. Zeta looks back at Zach for a moment before pressing her chest against the mare's neck and keeping Zach down low with her.
"How's the girlfriend?" She asks him and watches him blush.
"I'm not allowed to be with her. She's a human and I'm an elf and my parents wouldn't have it." Zach blushes more as he says it.
"Oh."
Zach laughs, "I didn't really like her that much. Besides, I have my eyes on someone else."
"Oh?" Zeta asks questioningly, "Do I know her…or…him?"
Zach laughs more, "Yeah I think you do know her. But it's a secret so I can't tell you." Zeta glances back at him before whispering to the horse and making her slow down.
"We'll make camp here." She tells him and climbs off the horse.
OK, I know it's probably really confusing, I kinda got off track. The next few chapters are probably going to be in either Zach or Zeta's POV. I hope you liked it!
