Stare Into Icy Eyes

Two

Stepping inside the classroom, I noticed my friends who were waving at me. Dashing towards them, I sit on the empty chair they save for me that was by the window. "Where were you?" Kerry asked, sucking her lollypop.

"Don't ask, long story." I groaned, taking my bag off my shoulder and dumping it by my feet. Before they said anymore, our history teacher came in. I admired Mrs Richards since, she was a warm and compassionate woman that always had patience and listened to you with any questions you had.

"Good morning everyone." She said with a smile. "Good morning, Mrs." We replied in union. "I hope everyone had a nice weekend." "Ha, not mine." I muttered. Remembering Saturday and Sunday was a boring experience of homework, studying and catching up with Gossip Girl.

"Now today, we are going to be looking at this.." Her words started to fade away as I turned my head to look out of the window to be stunned at what I was seeing. There was a woman, wearing a very familer dress, running towards the trees outside.

Strangely taken by this, I didn't realise the sudden horror that was awaiting for me when the figure stopped and stared directly at me. I gasped in pure terror, the running woman was me! Turning around, I poked my friends to take a look.

"What? I don't see anything Verity!" Kerry hissed. "What's going on girls?" Mrs Richards said in a warning tone of voice. I swallowed hard and was about to begin until Jade butted in. "Verity thinks she can see herself outside."

Never have I been so embarassed by a sea of laughter all around me, I slid down my chair totally ashamed. "Be quiet class!" She snapped, then placed a stern stare at me. "You shouldn't be looking outside, Verity. You should be focusing on what I'm saying."

"I understand Mrs, I'm sorry." I replied. "Right. Now, where was I?" Closing my eyes, I puffed out a sigh of relief though I knew from then on I won't be looking out of any windows today or any other day. But I know I wasn't seeing things, that running figure was me. Question was: Why?


Ah lunch, the best time of the day. Where everyone in collage comes down to eat and relax either inside or outside. While Kerry, Jade and Rachel went to sit with their boyfriends in the sunny part, I walked towards those trees.

A caressing breeze touched my skin, leaving several goosebumps in it's invisable wake. I shut my eyes and breathed in the fresh air. Soon, my mind began to play it's game of possiable maybes and wonderful what ifs.


Two horses, one white and the other brown, run through a meadow of green and freshly bloomed flowers. I wander through this, humming "All Good Things Come To A End" by Nelly Furtado. Birdsongs echo this blissfully peaceful land around me.

I notice a small stream that had crystal clear water, my throat was instanly dry. Taking a sip, I felt it flow down and stopped the nagging thirst. When I moved my eyes, I noticed a male figure that looked strangely familer on the other side.

Rising my gaze, there he was. Tall and proud, strong and mysterious. Those icy eyes burning back at me, never had I felt so unsettled yet drawn by this man. Wearing a uniform that reminded me of one of the History books I had flicked through a while ago, it really did suit him.

The brown horse went to bow it's head against the man's shoulder, he turned away from me to gently caress the animal in a loving montion. It made me even more breathless at this scene, who was this guy that was bringing out so much already yet I didn't even know his name?

The white horse jogged towards me, it's beautiful mane fell over it's eyes. Tearing my never ending gaze from him, I stroked the horse and whispered sweet things in it's ear. "Ride her.." He said. I gasped and looked at him, a smirk was across his face.

"W...what?" I stuttered like a idoit. Great, well done Verity! "Ride her." He repeated, giving a seductive stare back at me that sent thousands of shivers running up and down my spine. Swallowing several times, I turned to discover a saddle was prepared for me out of the blue.

Okay, I like horses but never ridden one. Not once in my life where I begged over and over again to my parents for lesson which they instanly refused. Deep down, I'd never forgave them throughout my childhood and early teen years until I soon got over it.

"Allow me.." He whispered from behind. I gasped as his broad hands were on my waist and placed me on the saddle within seconds. Looking down at him, I could feel my heart thundering against my chest. There was just no way he could move from where he was to here like that.

Suddenly his horse appeared which he hopped on, I got a good view of his butt (not bad indeed!). He noticed me staring at him like a pervert, I spun my head away igorning the rising burning of my cheeks. A slight chuckle escaped from his lips.

"Follow yourself, Verity. Follow you in the blue dress." He said. Turning my head around, he took off in a trot leaving me speechless and stunned.


I reopened my eyes to discover that I was the only one outside. How long had I been standing here like a dreaming moron? Then again, it was a good dream until he left me. Bastard. But why did he say that I had to follow myself?

Shaking my troubling thoughts, I turned my heel and headed towards the collage building dreading the telling off from one of the teachers until suddenly I was pushed violently to the ground. "Oi, watch it!" I shouted.

But to my horror, instead of it being a random student, I was looking at myself that was standing before me. Haunted and a little disturbed, the woman broke into a run towards those trees. "Hey wait!" I cried, following her.

Then I could hear my name being said constanly like a echo, it had to be that guy's voice. No other man could speak so richly and enchanting like him. Getting louder now as I walked through the trees, my eyes focusing on the blue dress.

Unknown to me, a car was driving at a alarming speed. The driver was talking on his mobile until he looked up and saw me, he pushed his foot down on the petal but it was too late. I was thrown backwards to land hard on the pavement.

The blue dress me stood before me. "Go to him, Verity." She said with a faint smile, then she disappeared. I heard loud screaming from a distance, the raw pain was clawing my injured and battered body. My eyes were struggling to stay open anymore, darkness wanted me to succumb and I gladly did before I knew anymore.
