The road towards true love and immortality {7}
{#7: A gift from the Gods}
True's p.o.v.:
I was sitting on my balcony with a pile of books and Apophis, sleeping next to me, when all of a sudden I was touched by the grace and elegance that I saw in front of me. Someone was riding horseback. It was so beautiful, watching the rider and his horse ride over the hillsort of calmed me down. It felt almost as good as being in the library -smile.
That's when I remembered Olympus, my horse. I had done this myself for a wile, it was so long ago. My parents had bought me this Arabian horse, Olympus, that had cost a fortune. Only five years later he died. "Sick! I'm sorry, their is nothing I can do for him." the doctor had said. I never did it sins. Still the beauty in front of me touched me. But this wasn't an Arabian horse this was a Fries. A strong horse, prepared for the hills. Still,something about the riderlooked familiar. And that's when it hit me. It was him! It was Tauris! I stood up, surprised to see him, and took a closer look. I knew it was impossible, but it was like I still could see his green eyes.
And I didn't understood a thing about it. I hated boys! And no I'm not a Lesbian. I just had this idea that boys -the boys I knew al fitted in the profile- wanted a girl just so they could break her heart afterwards. So I didn't cared about them. I only used them and then moved on. That's probably the reason why I was called a heartless Ice Queen, at my old school. It didn't mattered no matter how green the guys eyes were and how rocking his body was, it couldn't and certainly would never be something.
Tauris p.o.v.:
My wishes were heard by the Gods. All of a sudden I felt her presence, she was sitting on her balcony. But she wasn't alone their was someone with her. I could feel his presence. I feltjealousy, knowing I had no right to. So I looked to see who was lucky enough to sit with her. It was a cat. I was jealous with a cat? I must becoming crazy. But something about the animal wasn't right, he didn't felt like an animal. He felt like more, stronger. Still it was nothing more than a cat, probably a very protective cat. That's when she saw me. She was moved by the graceand beauty. And then she recognised me. She knew it was me. She even came closer, she wanted to be closer? She should know, then she wouldn't want to be anywhere near me. Still the idea felt nice, thinking that we wanted to be near me. But I knew it wasn't that way. She was remembering riding herself. She hated boys and didn't want anything to do with them. She already made that clear. Or at least it was clear in her head. Her dream: becoming en great archaeologist and after that becoming an old lady with a house filled with cats. That's not the normal teenage dream, but hey I don't know what they think these days. Well I do, but I never heard such a thought. Someone must have broken her heart really bad. To have a mind so f*cked up at such an early age. Anny way, I could not allow myself to think about her.
And that's when her mother called her away. I knew what she wanted to tell. I had put the idea their myself. The idea made me happy, this would make the girl happy and that would make me happy.
True's p.o.v.:
"True." my mum jelled trough the intercom.
I shook my head to get the dark thoughts out of it and walked into my room. "Yes mum." I said trough the computer.
"Sweetie, your father and I have found a solution for your library problem. The duck has his own library and is willing to let you use it." my mum explained happy.
"Oh my God that's great news. Thanks mum and dad. When can I go?" I asked enthusiast.
"He asked how tomorrow after school fits." my mum explained.
"I can't wait till tomorrow." I said supper happy.
"How was school?" my dad asked.
"Nice I met some real great kids." I said thinking about Lilly.
"Very well True. Your mother and I are very proud of you." my dad said.
"Thanks." I said a bit shy and saw how my mum looked worried to her beeper.
"Sorry hun, I have to go." she said.
"Bay mum." I said and got back to my balcony, but Tauris was gone. In my head I knew that it was better like this, but in my heart I felt disappointed. I don't know why and I didn't want to think about it. Like I said before. Couldn't be and never would be!
Tauris' p.o.v.
Like I hoped she was happy with the news. That was all I wanted and it was all I could hope for. So I rode back to the castle and got inside to prepare things for tomorrow. The library would keep her busy while I was gone. So I would know for sure she was safe. I didn't understood those protective feelings, but that didn't meant that I could turn them of. I couldn't believe that just now I had to leave for business. Tree days, those would become the tree longest days of my life. Considering the fact that, that was forever. This meant something. The trouble was that it couldn't mean something. I was not allowed to let it mean something. She was mortal for Gods sake. I wasn't! I was the monster. This was insane. Allowing myself this foolishness was insane. I could only hope that when I got back, my head would be cleared.
