"Crystal"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Her nimble, graceful movements never seemed to lose that attractive lure that begged you to become entranced by the sheer essence of it.

She was a delicate flower,a fragile beauty if you will. But she also harboured the skills and the heart of a true warrior.

Where she was beautiful, she was even more deadly. Where she "seemed" fragile, she was anything but.

She was more than an equal compared to most in combat. No, there was no denying her skill. If anything her skill made her all the more alluring. Not that the fact that she was easy on the eyes didn't help things.

A chuckle of mirth escaped my lips.

Startled, she halted her movements. Looking around warily, to find the source of the noise, she locked eyes with me.

She caught me, I admit it. She would have detected me sooner or later, anyway. But I could have kept my whereabouts secret for a moment longer. It would have been much more beneficial for me. I could have enjoyed the "view" somewhat longer.

Narrowing her deep brown eyes, and planting her hands on her slender hips, she fixed me with a firm glare.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Releasing another chuckle I watched her with a smirk tugging at the corners of my mouth.

"Enjoying the view perhaps?"

At this she only scowled.

"You, Sky, are incorrigible!" she reprimanded me, waving a disapproving finger in front of my face.

Huffing, she turned around, giving me a good view of her back.

"Very good observation, beautiful…"

She whipped her head around, and with an amused glint in her eyes she stated, "Nobody calls me beautiful without having earned the right to do so. Have I made myself clear?"

"Crystal…," he answered, feigning innocense.

"Good."

When she started to walk away from me, I followed her out of the corner of my eyes. "Where are you going?"

Without even bothering to turn around, she returned a cheeky answer to my question."As I seem to be done with my training, you are done enjoying the "view".

Fixing her with an incredulous look, I followed after her.

Oh, yes, she was beautiful and there was no denying her skill. But she was also confusing. And that was putting it lightly.

I didn't really know how to deal with her. She was a woman who was more than just a handful. But that's why I loved her and not somebody else.
