"WHEN THE STARS TWINKLE"
By: Animecutee13
PROLOGUE: Not myself tonight. Or ever again.
~Do you know what's worth fighting for? When it's not worth dying for.. Does it take your breath away, and you feel like you're suffocating? Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide? Did someone break your heart inside? You're in ruins.. Lay down your arms, give up the fight. –21 guns.
I studied the bottle of wine I was holding. It was no longer cold and it had already passed the time when the perspiration has cooled and dried. I shifted my weight to my right. Oh yeah, and I am currently sitting on top of the long and red roof of the bar where I once took the woman whom my heart ached for. And now she was gone. Gone with Grigori. I want to feel mad and thrust the wine bottle I'm clutching with my hands at the fat man beneath that had blonde hair that resembled that pretty boy Grigori's golden ones, but I just didn't feel like myself tonight. I felt lone and shattered for the first time. A part of me just wanted to stay away from Luce and Daniel, and just freaking give them a break already. I'm tired of chasing the lady whom I had always craved for, and tried to make mine, but strangely, just kept failing. I can't understand that from all the to-die-for charms I have, she still keeps choosing Grigori. Every time.
I raised my head to look at the sky. Everyone up there happy now? I'm fucking alone. With no one. Just perfectly lonely. I lowered my head to my hands, against the wine bottle and shut my eyes closed. Why can't they just give me girl that I can call as mine, like Grigori has Luce? Am I that damned to not even have a soul to love? At the end of war between Daniel and I, I gave up and left the evil side. I just couldn't take all that end of the world drama anymore.
I stood up and shouted to the sky, "I'm not involved with anything anymore!"
I raised my arms like embracing the sky, my dark hair tousling around caused by the cold wind that suddenly swooshed by.
"Not involved with anyone anymore either. Can't you just give me, at least a.. I dunno?" I scratched my head and licked my bottom rose-colored lip and averted my green eyes from the stars to the moon.
"At least give me a chance to have my own Luce. A woman I can call my own. A woman that, whatever apocalyptic crisis happens, I can fold into my arms. I've already fallen from Heaven." I looked down at the shining red roof my foot was upon, "Please make my eternity worthwhile. Give me someone worth fighting for." I said in a soft whisper as I bowed my head and almost automatically another cool gust of wind rippled through the air making my jet black silky hair gently mat to my pale skin and my ebony coat swish around.
"Oh shut up with all that shitty drama!" A nasty voice called from below. "Come in here, there're lots of ladies to choose to spend the night with!"
I nonchalantly looked down and there was the fat man that resembled the top of Daniel's head that annoyed me so. I absentmindedly dropped the wine bottle and landed at an exact hit on the man's noggin. "Ow."
"You shut up. Can't you hear that I'm having a serious moment here?" I retorted calmly and shifted my gaze back to the night sky. It was so still.
I shrugged and removed my trench coat, leaving a black puddle at my feet. Crouched down, and with a little force.. I could feel my back burst with golden wings that gleamed in the night, causing small gold flecks of feathers shimmer in the night around me. With a slight jump, I was off in the night sky wandering alone, taking in the sight of the stars' sudden marvelous twinkling, like they were reacting to my little speech earlier. And suddenly there was a figure, I squinted my deep green eyes at the outline of a person falling from the sky above me. What the hell is that?
I was hovering below it, and my goal was to catch it. I noticed the stars kept twinkling and it drove my beautiful eyes mad. Fuck, I cursed inwardly, it was distracting my perfect view of the falling form. I kept shooting away to the part of the sky I think the person would most possibly fall but the damn stars just kept sparkling around the figure. I could sense the figure was close and I zoomed up to meet it.
Almost there, I effortlessly caught it, no.. her in my pale and strong arms, and I could feel her soft breathing radiating from within her. Wait, HER? The night lights around me kept twinkling like mad, and thanks to that, I saw her face. She had full pink lips. She had a cute pointed nose. And her eyes were closed. But I sure saw her long eyelashes and perfectly carved jaw line. Her beautifully arched eyebrows. Her slightly golden skin, that blended perfectly in the night, but it looked so white under the moon it looked like some fragile porcelain. Her long wavy chocolate brown locks hung on my arms, they felt so unbelievably soft. A loose strand was on her face, and with one movement from my fingers, it was out of the way from the view of her doll-like face. She had a petite size, her features curved but slender. She was barefoot and wearing a white empire cut gown. Weird. What, did someone push her off an airplane wedding?
I kept beating my majestic wings around us. It wasn't hard; we could stay there for days. Then it struck me. Luce. She looked nothing like Luce. But I had to admit, they were both beautiful. My breath took a hike when I noticed a crescent moon tattooed at the nape of her neck, stretching towards the tips of the back of her neck. No kidding, but that seriously looked like it meant something. I had a tattoo at the back of my neck, a Sunburst one.
I looked at the night sky around me, we were high up from the ground, and I was basically in the night sky. The stars' glimmer grew faint and I could swear they were saying good bye and enjoy the nice treat we gave you. I looked up and a small smile tugged at my lips. Thank you.
Hello! Animecutee13 here. I currently finished reading FALLEN by LAUREN KATE. And I still haven't gotten my hands on the TORMENT book yet. So for the mean time, I'll focus on this first. I am seriously craving for more doses of Cam and Daniel. I just freaking love the book! Luce is so lucky to have two boys ready to catch her when she falls. But I felt really sorry for Cam, coz we all know.. Luce is Daniel's. So here is a fanfiction for Cam and a love interest of his own. Enjoy! And leave a review. (wink wink!) BTW, this is just a prologue.
