Chapter 6: Whispers
He grunted and kicked as the voice grew distant but it was so close the voice could be behind him, over him, to the side of him. Anywhere.
"What do you want?!" He bellowed to the darkness.
It only whispered louder. It grew louder. He placed his hands to his ears and screamed in frustration.
"Duncan!"
His eyes shot open as he shot up looking at his surroundings frantically, until his hazel eyes landed on the emerald green that looked concern.
"Breathe, Duncan." Her melodic soft voice, instructed.
He concentrated in her eyes. Taking him to the forests. Green, bright like her eyes. Her voice like the wind, calming adding to a magnificent atmosphere.
His eyes tore away from hers as he looked at her hand. She had a glass of something. It was clear liquid. He couldn't fathom what it was before her voice said to drink it.
"It's only water."
He nodded, taking the glass into his hands and drank like he never had anything to drink in weeks.
"Are you alright?"
He looked at her as he gave her the glass. He only nodded, not saying anything. His hazel eyes trained on her.
"You look just like her." He opted to say instead.
He watched as her cheeks turned pink.
"Like her?" She asked.
He only smiled. He closed his eyes, taking the color of her eyes into his memory.
"You don't have to do this you know."
She only laughed.
"Give up?"
"Not yet."
She laughed. He ran in the direction of her laughter.
"You are getting warrrmerrr." She sing-songed.
He turned behind him and to the front. Her laughter sounded close but so very far. A game he like to play. His hazel eyes trained on a shadow. He followed it to its destination. He stopped by a bank of a river he was unfamiliar with.
"Gotcha!" She managed to tackle him to the ground as he grunted and gasped in slight surprise.
They laughed as they rolled on the grass, him staying on top, once they stopped rolling.
"You are the most mischievous little thing I have ever encountered." He smiled fondly at her.
She returned his smile as she moved his bangs from his eyes.
"You're eyes remind me of the sunset you know. They are very expressive." She said softly as her hand handed on his cheek, her thumb caressing the soft flesh.
He turned his head to kiss the inside of her palm before leaning into it and closing his eyes to breath in the tranquility of the forest.
He opened his eyes, not two seconds before his breath was practically taken away. Her lips were on his and soon they were both locked in a passionate kiss.
"Duncan?"
He shook his head and looked at her emerald concerned eyes.
"I am alright." He said with a smile.
The world coming to him in full.
He really got to look at her and her attire.
"You look, if I may be so bold, breathtaking."
'Just like her.'
He had to bite his tongue to stop repeating it.
She blushed. A soft glow to her as she blushed. Such innocence. Such beauty, And it only brought him slight pain.
"Thank you." She managed to say after some hesitation.
"You should head to the ball. Or you're going to be late for your own name day." He practically shooed her out of his room.
"I'm going, i'm going." She said with a smile as she got up and walked towards the door.
She stopped at the door and turned around. He really got to see how beautiful she looked. And how much it hurt him to see it.
"I just heard you practically screaming and I had to make sure you were alright." She said with concern.
He nodded. "Thank you. I appreciate it." He said with a smile.
She only nodded. Her eyes looked at the floor before they met with his hazel ones.
"Are you coming to the ball?"
"No. Why?" He tilted his head to the side in curiosity.
"Then I invite you to come to my name day and to celebrate the ball." She grinned.
He laughed. "Sure." He shrugged and conceited to her request.
"Great. I will save you a dance." She did a half curtseyed.
He laughed at her attempt to show respect in a messy curtsy, but it was cute nonetheless.
"I wouldn't miss it." He said with a grin. "Now get! I have to quickly get ready."
She only laughed. Her melodic laughter echoing down the hall. He shook his head in amusement before he laid back down for a moment, looking at the high ceiling of the tower.
'I miss you everyday. My dreams are all I have. Your whispers are always cherished.' He thought with sadness as he closed his eyes.
'And I miss you...'
It was all in head. Whispers of an innocent time. A time he wished to remain and never let go.
I feel like I need to explain before I post the next chapter. This is tied to the next one, but it was way too long, so this worked out. Hoped you enjoyed it. Don't be afraid to let me know what you guys think so far. Check out the Mass Effect one I got. Its progressing nicely.
