I only own Kate. Dylan is Sevenvoyager's OC
Chapter 2
When I came back from my shower, Kaja was gone. I quickly changed into a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt before heading downstairs. I sat in my favorite spot by the fire and practiced making it grow and shrink.
"That is so cool," I heard a voice say. I jumped suddenly, causing the fire to grow rapidly and then go out. I turned to see who had spoken, and was surprised to see Dylan.
"Thanks," I said, a smile growing on my face. I quickly relit the fire with my green fire.
We sat in silence for a bit, staring at the fire. Or, at least I was. I wouldn't let myself look at him, so I don't know where he was looking.
"You know the plans we made earlier?" Dylan asked. I had to look at him then. When I met his gray eyes, they bore into mine, but not unkindly. There was a certain warmth behind them that I couldn't quite place or describe.
"Yes," I said. "What about them?" I didn't want to sound too desperate to be spending time with him.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to do them now," he said, not breaking eye contact with me.
"What, go on another run?" I asked, slightly confused. Why would he want to go on two runs in one day?
"We don't have to run," he said, starting to fidget with his hands, his tail flickering behind him. "I was thinking we could go on a walk or something."
I started blushing and had to turn away from his gaze. "I'd like that," I said quietly. Then again with more certainty. "I'd like that a lot."
"Great," he said, a goofy grin spreading across his face. "I'll meet you by the lake where I ran into you in fifteen minutes."
I quickly ran upstairs and put on some warmer clothes, switching my normal sneakers for a pair of Ugg boots and my sweatshirt for a nicer jacket.
I made it to the lake with only a few minutes to spare. I made a small fire in my hand to keep me warm while I waited for Dylan to show.
A few seconds after our agreed meeting time, Dylan appeared behind me. "Sorry I'm late," he said with a grin that showed off his canines.
"You're not late," I said with a laugh. "You're right on time."
"If you say so," he said playfully. "Shall we?" he added, offering his arm to me. I took it with a smile.
"We shall," I said. He laughed at this before we started walking around the lake.
We laughed and joked the entire walk. I talked more then than I had in a long time.
"Wait here," Dylan said suddenly when we arrived to the spot where we had started. In an instant, he was gone, with only a small cloud of dust to show that he had been there at all.
