Fabian
I perched my arm on the window sill as Nina and I stared up at the moon. Amber had went and had a sleepover in Mara's room after she noticed us in here.
Nina smiled "Hey Fabes." she murmured and I looked at her "What?" she smiled slightly "It's so pretty." I nodded "Sure is."
She smiled and nudged my shoulder her face red "Stop staring!" I shrugged "Not my fault my eyes have little minds." she blushed harder and hid her face in her hands. I took one hand from her face
"Hey, don't hide you're too pretty for that." I breathed softly as she uncover her face looking up sharply.
She gasped and looked at me wide eyed "You think I'm pretty." I nodded "Yes." she smiled "Thank you." she patted my hand then turned her attention back to the sky.
I smiled as she peeked at me from the corner of her eye. I don't know how but somehow she was snuggled up to my side her head lazily placed on my shoulder. Her eyes closed and she dozed off breathing softly on my neck. I sighed and closed my eyes feeling the cold night air blowing in the window. Soon I was asleep and dreaming.
Nina was leaning over me her ash hair cascading around her "Hey." she breathed her eyes sparkling. I looked up at her not knowing what to say. We were covered in flower petals and the sun beamed on us. Nina got up and giggled grabbing my hand helping me up.
I followed reluctantly as she led me deeper into the forest, The trees were slowly dying as we walked and suddenly Nina feel to the ground un moving. I tried to move but I was like stone. Then Victor was in front of us leaning over Nina. He picked her up and walked slowly away pulling a golden hood over his head as he walked.
I tried to chase after them but they were gone.
My eyes shot open and I breathed "Just a dream." I whispered as I looked at Nina who was still tucked under my arm. I shook her slightly as I looked up at the pitch black sky. Her shot open and we bumped heads. She touched her head wincing slightly "Sorry." she whispered. I waved her off and she blushed untangling herself from me. I heard the clock toll signaling it was midnight.
I shot up "Oh no!" I whispered. She rubbed her eyes "What?" I sighed "It's midnight but Victor's in his office I'll never get past." she bit her lip and grabbed my pants leg standing up. She walked over to the door her hand firmly in mine. She opened it and peeked out. We tip toed into the hallway and her a loud screech from the attic. I jumped and she looked at the door.
"What was that?" I breathed shakily "I don't know. Let's check it out!" she led me to the door. I paced "I don't think this is a good idea." she pulled a bobby pin out of her hair and opened the door. She led me up the squeaky stairs and into the pitch black creepy attic. She quivered into me as the screech sounded again.
"Who goes there?" I heard Victor shout from downstairs "Hide!" she squealed frantically trying to find somewhere. She pulled me towards the back of the attic against a wall and a door opened behind us making us fall in on our backs. Nina nearly screamed but I covered her mouth with my hand as we stared up at a large picture of a little girl. She shook as she breathed heavily "Oh my god." she breathed as she looked around feeling the walls "We're stuck in here."
Now was the time I would freak out and run around screaming like a girl but I felt strangely calm beside Nina. She slid down the wall as Victor's booming footsteps were heard outside the room. She slapped a hand over my mouth and pulled me down with her. I fell onto the hard floor and she bit her lip her shaking hands reached up to hold mine.
"I know someone's here." Victor boomed "Show yourself!" Nina squeaked quietly and I squeezed her hand trying to calm her down. She breathed shakily as Victor's footsteps grew softer and I heard the door slam close signaling he was gone.
She sighed in relief and got up feeling the walls. Her locket glowed and I looked at it "Nina." she looked at me "Your locket is glowing." she looked down and gasped. She held it and looked up at a similar shaped hole in the wall. She pressed her locket into it and the door flew open. We ran out and breathed in relief "I thought we were going to die." I said instantly regretting it as Nina gave me a hard stare.
We walked quietly downstairs and opened the door Nina locked the door behind us and I made a move to walk downstairs when Victor's footsteps rounded the corner. Nina grabbed my hand and pulled me into her room closing the door lightly.
"What am I going to do?" I groaned flopping on the bed "I don't know." Nina smiled sheepishly propping herself beside me. I looked over at her to see her eyes drooping "Night, Night." she whispered closing her eyes breathing deeply.
I got up to leave and she pulled me back staring at me through hooded eyes "Stay." she breathed firmly.
I sit down next to her and doze off not thinking once about what would happen tomorrow or any other day.
I think I'd rather just be stuck in this moment.
Awe! This is so great!
Please review and leave paper trails!
I love you guys!
Love,
