Hey guys, I'm really sorry I had to bugger off for a bit. I was busy with school crap, and failing laptops and no internet etc. And, you also wont get another update for a while 'cause i'm going on holiday this Friday!
So, this one is quite a nice chapter, I think. It's to Not Alone by Linkin Park.
I still hadn't quite got used to the bond, and I often found myself accidentally falling into Lissa's head. And, one day, I found myself in a place where I actually tried to stay. Call me a spy-or pervert-but I wanted to know what she was up to.
Lissa was walking towards the church. It was chucking it down with rain and she wrapped her coat around her slight figure, shuddering from the cold. She'd been upset by something whilst I was training with Dimitri, and the tears dripping down her face were undistinguishable from the rain. She didn't really look where she was going. She just walked forward, trying to get away from something of course.
A crash of thunder made her run for cover and she found herself standing on the church porch. She frowned and pulled off her coat, wringing it out and slinging it over her arm as she walked through the silent building. Her light footsteps echoed off the walls. And then, at the end of the aisle, she found the door leading up to the church attic. And the lock had been picked. She wasn't alone.
Curiosity kicked in and she crept up the stairs and peered through the doorway.
"Lissa," a voice murmured. "I didn't expect to see you here." Lissa jumped and then a figure with a mop of black hair and icy blue eyes crawled out of the darkness. Lissa relaxed and wiped away her tears.
"Christian," she wondered. "What are you doing here?"
"I might ask you the same." She perched on the edge of the window seat. "So, tell me, what made you upset today?"
"I-It's just, Mia's still being mean about me hanging out with Rose. She still hates us. I should've realised that a stupid dance at the disco wasn't going to sort things out. She's making my life hell and she's spreading all sorts of rumours and I don't know how to stop it. Why won't she leave us alone?"
And then, what shocked me is that Christian put his arm around her and tilted her chin up before pressing his lips down to hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck, exposing herself to all the joy in the moment, letting her senses flood her to the point of saturation. She couldn't get enough of Christian, and I felt that same electricity in the air like when I was with Dimitri. He pulled back first, breathless, and wiped a stray tears off her face before cupping it in his hands. He gave her a quick kiss on the cheeks.
"You're not alone, Lissa," he told her. "I will always be here for you." She smiled and leant her head into his chest.
I pulled out of her head and continued pondering over my life and how I was going to continue moving forwards. What would happen with Dimitri and I? How would my school life go? I had no way of knowing.
