Love in a Different Life
Chapter 1
Aelita's POV
I was on the roof of the academy, looking up at the stars above. I wasn't alone-Odd was with me too. We were laughing and talking. After a while of talking, we just watched the stars and thought. A breeze swept through and circled around, swayed but stayed-just enough to move the ends of our hair and bangs.
"Odd?" I asked to see if he was awake, not taking my gaze off the stars.
"Yeah?" He answered.
"If two people were meant to be together, like true love, wouldn't they still be together-even in a different life?" I asked. I felt him turn his head to look at me, but I didn't turn-just yet. I felt his gaze fall and look down. He looked up again as he said, "Uh, sure I guess. But how would you know if they were that person?"
"You would just know. Because it would feel right and it wouldn't feel wrong at all," I answered back. Then suddenly a white, gray and black colored portal appeared out of nowhere in front of us. The breeze turned into a full-blown, sucking storm wind in an instant. I stood up and so did Odd. We tried to stand our ground but we slowly started being dragged forward towards the portal because of the wind. I tried to take a small step backwards but fell on my back as the air fell out of me with an "Oof!"
The wind picked up and lifted me into the air. I turned to my side as I reached out my hand and screamed. Odd reached out to grab my hand but it was a second too late and an inch too far as I was sucked into the portal. The last thing I saw? Odd and I being sucked into a portal, as the last seconds of my mind wondered, "Will I ever see him again?"
