Chapter Three


Elijah's POV

I was less than interested when I found out Amy had friends coming over. I knew it was another one of her schemes. She was trying to get Renn and I hooked-up. I was only at Renn's house because I had agreed to meet up with them on that night earlier that week. I was ready to kick myself.

I remembered that night distinctly. I was reading "Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien yet again and was quite entranced by the words when I heard Creature call back from the door, "Dude! There are some hot chicks at your door!". I was quite annoyed by the interruption of my reading, and by the use of the word "chicks".

"Females are not to be referred to as 'chicks'." I said. I didn't bother looking up. I hoped that the tone of my voice was enough to portray my annoyance. I heard footsteps upon the floor. I knew it was Renn by the sound of his shoes. He let the girls in and proceeded to carry on the most enjoyable sounds of nonsense I've ever heard. He was not much of a ladies' man.

As soon as his footsteps stopped, I heard a distinct thumping sound coming from the direction in which Amy and Jeff sat. Before I could look up I noticed a beautiful hand slip over my book and take it away from me.

"Hmm," I heard a soft young voice say.

As I looked up I saw the most incredible creature. She was shifting her weight. She sat on my legs without a sound. It was an incredibly elegant movement.

She was light, much lighter than I would have expected. I suppose I expected her to be much heavier seeing as she was a wrestler. She began to read the book aloud in a soft voice, but still loud enough to attract even the ears of Claudia and Carlton, who were quiet and wrapped up in their own affairs until this point. Her voice was captivating.

Her lips were just as captivating as the words rolling through them. They were covered in a medium pink shade. Her eyes moved through the text in front of her. Those words I'd seen so many times before reflected in those bright green orbs. They became quite lively upon seeing the text. Those orbs were surrounded by black eye shadow, making them come to an almost cat-like shape.

Oddly enough, small, black and pink goggles rested underneath her bangs. Her bangs were two different lengths; some reached the bridge of her nose, while others, the ones framing her face, were chin length. They were platinum blonde, pink, and black in color. Her hair was pulled into two long pigtails from the back of her head. They flowed down to nearly the back of her knees. They were also platinum blonde in color, with thick highlights of pink and black throughout them.

A bright yellow scarf was draped around her neck. Purple fringe decorated the bottom of it. Her shirt was the same purple color. It had a square neckline, and was cropped off into a triangular point over her navel. The sleeves were short, covering just her shoulders. Black fingerless gloves stretched across her slim forearms. A black skirt reached her mid-thighs. Purple and yellow large checked tights peeked out from underneath the skirt, and met the tops of her silver and black platform boots.

'Unfortunately, between the tights, boots, and skirt, I cannot see a single inch of her legs.' I thought, shaking my head.
