The Glowing Moon

Then she went down on her knee's and stared down at the floor. Paul stared down at her. She had never acted like this before. How could she say that he would forget her? Didn't she know that he loved her? The only way he would forget her is if someone cast a memory loss spell on him. What had put Selena in this mood? What could make her want to leave so soon? He just didn't understand her as much as he thought he did.

"Selena, whatever makes you want to leave?" She continued to stare down at the floor lost in thought. He leaned towards her a pleading look in his eyes,

"Please!" She looked over at a stall.

"I don't want to go. I don't want to leave!" He gave her a puzzled look. If only he would understand! Hadn't he heard the prophesy?

"Then why go?" He exclaimed. Why didn't he understand?

"Because, didn't you hear her, she said I was dangerous! I'm a threat to everyone in Jadoni!" Now he had no clue what she was talking about! Apparently no one had discussed Traseers vision. Only those that were in the room at the time knew. Everyone was going to think she was crazy. She got back on her feet. She turned away form him. She touched her forehead. The mark was still there. She sighed upset at her day.

Paul wrapped his arms around her shoulders. The tears trickled down her face. Didn't he understand? She was in too much stress, he was only adding to it. She escaped out of his grasp, gazing deep into his hazel eyes, trying to make him understand, without uttering a word.

He gazed back into her clear emotional eyes. He stepped back looking anywhere but at her eyes. He saw pain in her eyes! He didn't want to cause her any more pain. What had put that pain there? Where had all these emotions came from?!

She shivered, she had seen the hope and eagerness in his eyes fade. He had understood but yet nothing was alright. How could she do this. How could she be so mean? She stared down at the ground. Lost in thought yet again.

Paul's gentle hand touched, her chin lifting her head up. She stared into his eyes. She saw that look of pure love. She embraced him and they kissed. The kiss stirred up a world of emotions. She felt his fingers running through her hair. He released her and stared at her again. He touched her forehead, and drew back his hand in surprise. His hand tingled from the touch. He looked at her face again his eyes resting on her forehead. A crescent shaped mark gave off a silver light.

"Where did that mark come from?" She looked over at his surprised face.

"Its always been there." He blinked,

"I've never seen it before." She sighed,

"That's because it hasn't decided to show itself until now." He still stared blankly at it,

"This mark is the whole reason why I have to leave Jadoni! I'm the Doni's Child!" He looked startled,

"Now where have I heard that before?…" He scratched his head trying to concentrate, he looked up,

"Ah! Now I remember! Ara said something about a Doni Child while you were ill. What she was talking about I really don't remember. Something about a prophesy." So Ara had told him about the vision! He just hadn't been listening. He looked over at her again.

"Don't leave. Not now! Wait a little longer." She gazed at him, and looked down at the floor. He had won even before now. She had even said that she couldn't leave. She would have to wait for that sense of duty to come back to her. She looked up at him,

"Leave! With you around? How could I?!" Then Paul had her in his arms and they kissed. She stopped thinking about the future, and concentrated on the present, and took time to enjoy the moment. For it might be the last time.
