Chapter 2: The Stranger
"You should runaway", he said calmly as he approached his face centimeters away from hers, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist pulling her into him slowly, with the other hand he ran his hand through her blonde silvery locks puling her head back to reveal her neck. Slow he leaned forward and with a cool tongue started to lick the trickles of blood from the knife wound. Sky winced as his cool tongue run over the cut in her neck. Suddenly he stopped and looked at her.
"Your blood tastes strange and sweet, I've never tasted anything like it", he said looking directly at her, Sky pushed him away, out of the embrace.
"Who are you?" she managed to ask in weak voice. He simply looked at her and then he smirked.
"I should be asking you the same question", he said walking forward never once breaking eye contact, Sky staggered back suddenly he seemed to flash and was now again directly in front of her, her breath caught in her throat as she inhaled.
"Why won't anybody answer me I just want to go home", Sky exclaimed taking another step back running her hands through her hair in frustration.
"Where is home", he inquired tilting his head as he watched her start to pace.
"Eversong", she replied.
"The woods", he asked bemused Sky stopped pacing and turned to face him and walked right up so that her face was only centimeters away.
"The town", she exclaimed through greeted teeth the stranger smiled and simply leaned further in noses lightly brushing and their lips almost touching.
"No such place exists", he said calmly Sky staggered backwards fazed by the intimacy.
"Maybe not in this world", she muttered more to herself then anyone else.
"So you're not of this world", said the stranger glee in his voice.
"You're enjoying this", Sky said frustrated suddenly she felt his cold hands clasp around her wrist as he pulled her in again.
"of course , you see I've been very bored lately my plans don't seem to be working out the way I planned, but now that you're here everything's going to get a whole lot more interesting", he said his greys never once breaking their gaze.
"Who are you?" Sky found herself saying. He let go of her arms.
"Your master", he replied quite seriously, it took Sky a couple of seconds to register what he had said.
"Wha… What? Master of what", she asked incredulous to his meaning.
"Of all that you see before you and more", he replied vaguely staring up into the sky, Sky stared up trying to follow his gaze, suddenly she felt cool air on her neck she gasped and noticed that the stranger was once again by her side
"What did you do that for", she asked bewildered, he smirked.
"I just wanted another peak at that gorgeous neck", he replied licking his lips while showing off his fangs, Sky bit her bottom lip.
"Okay… erm I'm just going to ignore your fangs, your inhuman speed, your fascination with my blood and all the things that point to the clearly fictional creature that you are, and ask you if you can help me get home", she said the stranger stared at her.
"How did you get here if you're not of this world" he asked curiously. Sky thought about it then she remembered the swimming.
"I was swimming in lake following a pool of light and then I was pulled under and then I was here", she said slowly relieving the memory, the stranger paused.
"What lake" he asked intently.
"the one in Eversong woods" she said flatly, the look in his eyes changed his mouth broke into a triumphant grin he started to pace back and forth his glossy charcoal locks bounced under the moonlight, Sky found herself awe struck again.
"Luna", he simply said after awhile
"What"
"The lake is called Luna, it's something to do with moon goddess, the lake is supposed to have mystical powers, it's also a place where creatures of darkness such as myself cannot venture" he said.
"What does that mean?", asked a confused Sky
"It means you just got a whole lot more interesting" he walked forward and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"I don't understand what exactly all this means for me" Sky asked.
"It means I might be able to help you get home", he said slowly.
"You can", Sky's voice peaked with hope, and abruptly his smile vanished and was replaced by a calculating smirk.
"Only if you help me", he said his voice low and intimidating.
"Help you do what", Sky asked a little scared of the answer.
"Take over the world".
Sky simply stared for a while her brain unable to see the joke in the statement and as she looked closely at the man before her to her horror she realized he was deadly serious.
"I can't help you do that", she said truthfully.
"Not yet but you will learn", he replied immediately as if expecting her reaction. Sky opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She decided if she was to remain with this mad man she should at least be able to address him.
"What is your name I'm Sky …Sky Westlake", Sky stretched out her hands to the strange man before her. He stared at the hand for a little while before entwining his slim cool fingers around her slender ones and in one swift motion he drew her to him. Once again she was in his arms.
"Francis Reisenfeld", he whispered in her ear, Sky shivered and pushed him away.
"Can't you introduce yourself like a normal human being", she said fazed by his constant desire for proximity. He smiled coyly.
"But I'm not human or normal ...Sky", he said her name slowly and sensually Sky blinked trying to ignore the blush in her cheeks.
"What now", she asked clearing her throat.
"We must return to my domain" he said casually. Sky looked confused domain…does he mean house.
"We should go and find a way to take me home", Sky insisted.
"My dear Sky that is for me to decide beside I'm hungry and if you'd rather I ate you I can. But since we're both tired my domain is where we are going understood", he said calmly using his intimidating tone.
"Okay just for a little while", Sky muttered Francis walked up to her.
"It's time to sleep my dear", he placed his hands on her forehead and in one soft touch and whisper Sky was limp. He scooped her up into his arms and in Flurry of leaves Francis Reisenfeld disappeared into the woods with the unconscious body of Sky Westlake.
