OOC: I've noticed people skipping chapters. Maybe you're just following the latest updated chapter, or maybe you're trying to skip ahead to the "juicy" parts. Whatever the reason, if you're along this far, please don't skip any chapters (if you're here for the story and not just the juicy bits lol which will be happening), otherwise it's going to get confusing. I realize I do post a lot of chapters up at once, but rather than having one huge chunk of a chapter that would take forever to read, I broke them into mini chapters.
Side Note: Trying not to come off as bitchy or buggy or entitled. I promise there will be juicy parts you are probably reading to find. If you're reading this far into it. You're probably interested in something, right? At least I hope! :D Still love everyone of you for reading, thank you for the PMs and to those of you that have followed and Favorited. I'll give a special shout out at the end to everyone who PM'd me, left a review, Favorited or followed. You guys keep me going and keep me posting. Love all of you!
He seemed tense and turned away from her as if to mock her, chuckled. "There's little point in me taking off my helmet."
"Take off your helmet." She repeated, this time more stern, only to say she wasn't backing down from this statement.
"No." He hissed moving to his stand and walking away.
She was on her feet, rushing after him. However, the second she stepped in front of him to stop him, he burst into shadows moving around her. Not giving up her pursuit she continued following. Growing more and more agitated, he shifted into shadows once more but took no solid form again.
Angrily sighing, she glanced around the area and then turned, crossing her arms, staring into the darkness. "Hiding doesn't work, remember?" She received no response, but continued the glare. Slowly, she moved her glance, shifting her position as she did until she stopped at a shadow on a tree. Again, she moved, watching it shift towards another tree and in her anger, flung a dagger in the shadows direction. The Shadow stopped as the dagger pierced deep in the tree, right where his shadow was shifting.
"You know that doesn't effect me, right?" He responded, yet she only glared at him. "Why are you so insistant on me taking off my helm?"
"I need to know. Just as much as you needed an answer to your questions." She yelled back at him but there was something in her voice. A sort of sadness swelled there under her rage.
After a moment silence, he sighed, "remove your dagger."
Moving towards the tree, she grabbed the dagger and wiggled it free from the trunk and took a slight step back, slipping the dagger back onto her thigh. As she did, he took a solid form before her, close enough that it caused her to take another small step back before looking up at him.
"If you're going to see me, at least remove yours. I'd rather only do this once and properly." She nodded and removed her helmet, holding it down at her side, while her other hand slipped off the cloth, then looked up at him once more. He took a long breath, before his hand made it up to his hood, pulling it off exposing his helmet.
Slowly, she found her breath was caught in her throat again and she held it there, waiting the moment. His hand grabbed the underside of his helmet and slowly pulled it off, before lowering it at his side as well. Her whole body froze as fear, anger, sadness swarmed through every inch of her body. She felt tears stinging her eyes and her hand clenched around the grasp of her helmet.
