Chapter 8

Do not fear

I do not and I repeat I do not own SH or any of the characters other then Selena. DAMN IT ALL!!! OH YEAH AND THIS IS PROBABLY GONNA BE THE CORNIEST CHAPTER SO FAR!! LOL

Selena was hit into the ground as she began screaming but a hand had covered her mouth immediately holding back her scream. Selena stared terrified wishing amongst all hope that she had a spell that could protect her from this monster.

All she saw was a figure outlined in darkness but upon further inspection she knew that outline anywhere. "Constable?", as she crouched up on her elbows to see Ichabod fully. "Miss Van Tassel why are you out here in these woods?"

"The question is Constable what are you doing here?", as she noticed that Ichabod was straddling her when all she was in was a thin silk night dress. Ichabod seemed to noticed also because he stood up immediately embarrassed.

"I was up when I heard a noise and I followed you though I had seem to have lost you and now I have found you once again. May I ask what you were doing out here?", looking at her suspiciously.

"When I cannot sleep I go for walks to relax. It would seem this was a night where I could not rest.", standing up slowly brushing away the leaves and dirt from her nightgown.

"I apologize for what I have done to your nightgown", as he pointed at it again growing embarrassed yet again seeing her dressed like that.

"It is quite alright Constable Crane I understand", as she sighed and began walking back to the house. Ichabod quickly caught up and walked beside her. Selena smiled to herself slowly and couldn't help but stare at him. He was the most beautiful he had ever met. Their was something so dark and cold about him but she found herself attracted to that

He was a mystery and she felt some connection with him. She could look in his eyes and see the magik that he held in him but like Ichabod had said he was a man of science and did not believe in magik.

It hurt Selena to see him like that. He had no hope and no faith and Selena promised that she would revive it no matter what.

"What troubles your mind Miss Van Tassel?", as he walked as quickly as he could since the tree's seemed to be closing in on him. "Nothing Constable just random thoughts".

Again they grew silent unsure of what to do. They wished to speak to each other badly but they were unsure of how. So they silently walked under the darkness of the sky.

Once they had reached the house they stood outside staring at each other. Ichabod felt him knee's grow weak as Selena's eyes seemed to glow a lovely violet shade of blue.

Selena turned and began opening the door when Ichabod grabbed her arm unexpectedly. "Miss Van Tassel I beg of you do not fear me for I would hate myself for all of eternity for you to despise me the way that you do", as he begged to her. Selena smiled and once again kissed Ichabod on the cheek.

"I do not despise you Ichabod not at all", as she entered the house. Ichabod stood their touching his cheek watching as Selena quietly walked up the steps.

I KNOW I KNOW!! THIS IS SO BLEEDING SHORT BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO WRITE!! SO SUE ME!! TRUST ME MUCH BETTER CRAP TO COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
