Accidental Love
Chapter 1
Darkness,
snow, death. Thats what I was seeing, what I was facing. The gun
shot, the blood, the corpse. Tears stung my eyes, and kissed my
lashes. I had run away from someone who knew exactly where I was, who
I was, what I was. He came in the night. I was setting the table when
there was a knock on the door. I offered to get it, but my mother did
instead. I watched to see who it was from the corner of the kitchen.
All I heard was a gunshot. All I saw was the spray of blood, her eyes
in the back of her head, death. I had screamed for everyone to get
out, to run away. But now as I walk down the cold street, I know I
was the only one that survived. From them. I don't know who they are,
or what they want. But I'm not going down so easily. My footsteps
echoed in the dark stillness of my heart. I was lost, I had no money,
no someone. Nothing. I will probley never find myself again. Looking
down at my hands I walk more rapidly as streetlamps come into my
view. I looked behind me and then I ran into something, knocking them
and me over. It was a boy. I saw the gun in his right jacket pocket,
a silencer attached. I jumped up and started to run when a hand
grabbed mine and spun me around. I was on the ground, on my back.
I
was breathing heavily and even though I felt cold, my forehead was
hot. He bent down closer to me and looked me in the eyes. "Please,
I mean no harm. I just, I need to get away. From the door, from them,
from death." I said, dazed. He hoisted himself up and looked
towards the sky. "Me too." He said silently. I looked at
him trying to understand him. Then I remembered my mothers face,
smeared with blood. The insects probley eating at her face. I wept in
my hands, he turned to me and I could feel sympony steaming from his
soul. He laid his hand on my shoulder and I could feel the still
coldness of it. "Listen we need to get away, come with me and
join our team. The bladebreakers, you can blade right?" He
asked.
"Yes, and I was lucky enough to grab my blade on the
way out. Why are you helping me, Kai?"
He looked startled
that I could tell who he was in the dark. He turned away from me, a
scowl on his face. "You remind me of...me." He said not
looking at me. I stood up and nodded. Kai wasen't this cold hearted
person people thought he was. He just showed he cared in a diffrent
way, threw those who suffered as much as himself. I started to cough,
and over time the hardness of them increased. I sneezed a couple of
times and realized I was becoming sick, and Kai relized it to. He
took off his jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders. I saw that he
was wearing a sleevless shirt and felt bad. I leaned against him and
wrapped the jacket around us both. I hugged myself, trying to become
warm. He was tense at my touch and I knew then no woman had ever been
in his life. I set my warm hand on his arm, as if telling him to
loosin up. He looked at me with uneasyness in his eyes. I smiled. He
blushed. I laughed. He frowned. I walked ahead in front of him. "Are
we going or what?" I asked, crossing my arms. He chuckled and as
he walked past me laid the jacket on my shoulder again. I wrapped it
tighter around myself and walked alongside him. He was quiet, I was
quiet. I didn't want to talk about what happened and either did he.
We were even, balanced, one. He turned the corner and pulled me
closer to him. He moved his face near my ear and silently whispered
in my ear, his breath tickling my ear. "Listen, there are men
down this street that could hurt you in many ways. Stay close, ok."
I nodded my head and wrapped my arms around one of his. He walked
quickly, me a couple of inches behind him. I heard shouts and
whistles as we past groups of boys. I was scared. Kai sensed it when
I would look around. He whispered. "Its ok, I won't let them
hurt you. Just stay calm."
I gulped and nodded again. More
groups of boys came, each one larger than the other, each voices
louder. He turned right and we entered a rich nieborhood. I saw a boy
in a red, white and blue baseball cap wave towards us. I pulled my
hand away and talked to him. "Are we going there?"
He
nodded and smiled. But as we approched the house, he got the
scornfull look on his face. He seemed diffrent. The boy came up to us
a huge grin on his face. "Hi Kai, hi other person. Im Tyson."
"Im Senna." I said giving Kai some worried glances. I
did'nt know this boy and I wasen't comfortable around him. Kai laced
his hand in mine and pulled me into the house. The house was warm,
and I glanced towards the door several times. Kai took his jacket
back and hung it on the wall. The house was pretty big. I looked
around. A boy with long beautiful black hair lay on the couch, his
hair serving as a blanket. He was beautiful. I turned towards Kai who
was looking at me, smiling. "What?" I asked. He shook his
head and kneeled down towards the boy. He shook the boy shoulders.
The boy opened his eyes slowly and looked at Kai. "Where were
you all day, Kai?" The boy asked. "I was outside, and I met
someone I want you to meet, ray." he motioned me to come
forward. I did.
