Sea Goddess
Chapter 3
Now I'm about
To give you my heart
But remember this one thing
I've never been in love before
So you're gonna have to be easy on me
-Count on you by Big Time Rush ft. Jordan Sparks
I am so scared. If it weren't for Embry, I would have alreadyrun back into that awful, cold sea and try to get back home, and await my death. There were so many strange and scary things. Why did no one know that the mortal's world was like this? None of it looked like what I thought it would be like. Where were the people dressed like me? Where were the people who spoke my language? Where were the temples for the gods? Is that why this place is so dark and cold? Because the gods are punishing these people for not worshiping them?
I couldn't- wouldn't- be pulled away from Embry; he was the only person I truly trusted. They took me- well, Embry carried me since I was shaking so hard I kept falling-to a small house. Being in Embry's arms was like I was in heaven, free of all my curses and free to do what I wished. I could feel myself warming up and the shivers were slowly stopping.
The house they brought me to made me shake my head in wonder. It was clearly a happy, warm home. How could it be here; in such a dark, cold place? How could such beauty survive here?
We went inside and a smell assaulted my nose. My stomach growled at it; it smelled so good. I didn't recognize the smell. I wonder what food it is. What do they eat here? Is it anything like the food back home? I thought. Embry asked me something, smiling slightly. I tilted my head in confusion. I couldn't keep my own smile off my face. How could I not? It was like I had to smile if he was smiling.
He started to look frustrated. I couldn't find it in myself to blame him. I wished so hard with all my heart that I could understand what he was saying.
Someone called out from a different part of the house. A moment later a woman was walking quickly to where we were at. I had to hide my gasp since it was probably rude. But that didn't keep my eyes from going wide. The woman had three long, terrible scars running down one side of her face. The woman went straight to Sam, who's name I learned on the way here, acting like the rest of us didn't exist. Sam kissed each of her scars before kissing her lips. I had to look away, it seemed like something private.
Embry started moving. He walked to a room with things that looked like a couch and chairs. Though they didn't look like any furniture I recognized. Embry set me down on one of the "chairs" and grabbed several blankets. He proceeded to wrap them around me. "Thank you Embry," I whispered, touching his cheek. I'm sure gratitude was shining in my eyes, since he said something in reply. I think it was something along the lines of 'your welcome'.
I heard the woman start speaking rapidly. She came into the room and stopped in front of me. Did she want me here? Was she going to kick me out? How did she get those scars? Embry stood up and stepped in front of me, protecting me from her. They spoke for a few minutes. I only understood two words in their entire conversation: Embry's and my names. My eyes wandered around the room until they landed on a table. On the table sat a book. I reached for it and turned it around in my hands. I flipped through it.
I frowned. Was this their language? English? But English was a dead language. No one spoke it anymore, and people could barely read it. I looked up to see Embry and the woman staring at me. I tugged on Embry's clothes and he knelt down to my level.
"Is this your language? English?" I asked slowly, pointing to the book. The word English sounded and felt weird on my tongue.
Embry recognized the word English for sure. His eyes lit up and he started talking rapidly. I put my hand over his mouth to stop him. "English is a dead language, Embry. I don't understand you! What are you saying?" I asked, tears pricking my eyes. Embry pulled me into a hug and spoke soothingly. I wrapped my arms around him, not wanting to ever let go.
After a while I pulled back and looked down at the book nestled in my lap. "English," I said, holding up the book and pointing to the words. Embry nodded, slight frown on his face. He probably didn't know where I was going with this. I nodded and smiled. "I will learn how to speak your language Embry. I swear it to you!"
What did you think? If any of you have any love songs or songs that I could use, please tell me. I am going to run out of songs soon! (I have started to use songs in most of my stories and I don't like using the same song twice)
Quote of the Chapter: Well, there's the usual things: flowers... chocolates... promises you don't intend to keep...
Tell me what movie its from and I'll send you... I'll think of something later. Please guess, its so much fun! I will tell you the answer in the next chapter if people try and guess it.
