Chapter Seven: Why Me?
I was up on the cliffs smiling to myself but also wanting to kick myself at the same time. How could I be so stupid as to tell them who I was and with? ARGH! Damn my big mouth.
I sighed and flopped down onto the ground, legs crossed, my chin resting in my hand I begin to think on what to do next.
10 minutes has gone by and still nothing has come to my mind.
"You know if you sit any longer like that you're going to become a statue." said a voice from behind me.
I smiled and turned my head around."Nice to see you too Zeke." I said.
Zeke smiled at her, walking over he sat down beside her."I take it your trying to think of something am I right?' he asked her his legs dangling off the cliff side.
"Yes and right now I am having no luck." I told him sighing, my head flopped down and I just started hitting my forehead with my hands.
Zeke's eyes turned to surprise when he saw her doing that, he reached out and took her hands."That is not going to help you." he said holding her hands firmly.
I looked up at him, into his eyes, those dark brown eyes...EEKKK What the Hell Am I thinking? I turned my head away and pulled my hands away from his grip but he didn't let go.
Zeke kept holding her hands feeling the very power that ran through her veins into his hands. She was strong very strong maybe she would join him. He let go of her hands, getting up he walked away from her.
I rubbed my hands together wondering what had just happened that made him do that. Whatever it was it was over. I decided to get up and see him, just to make sure nothing was wrong. Why am I suddenly worrying myself about him? This is Zeke were talking about, the one that kills without mercy and hates all humans and yet here I am, feeling worried about him. Talk about my choice in men.
I walked up to him and what I did next; I am going to be pounding my head against a wall for days.
I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist, hugging him and I could feel the warmth of his body through his poncho and it felt comforting.
Zeke was shocked by that, he looked down at his waist and saw her arms around him then looked up at the sky sighing. This girl was different; she had some courage to do stuff that he would never approve of. And yet he enjoyed it...he enjoyed her for some strange reason.
I let go of him and turned away, I needed to get out of here.
Zeke spun around and grabbed her before she could teleport out of here. He was not going to let her get away this time.
I turned my head and looked at him."You can't hold me and you know it." I said to him my eyes masking my emotions.
"I can try Thomasina, I can try." he told her pulling her closer to him.
He pulled her right against her. I was wondering what he was doing. His arm came around her shoulders; he rested his cheek against the side of her head.
"Tell me who you are exactly and this time I want the truth." he whispered in her ear.
I sighed. I should have known this would happen. Me and my feelings, they always seem to get in the way.
"I can't tell you and even if I did you would never understand anyway." I told him sadly.
"Try me, I just might." he told her brushing his cheek against her hair.
"I Can't." I whispered feeling trapped, he had some sort of hold on me that couldn't allowed me to blink.
Zeke tried to read her mind but she was not letting on anything. Maybe it just wasn't time for her to tell him after all.
I had my eyes closed; I was the verge of tears I wanted to tell him so much but his hatred for humans made me not. Besides he was going to die anyway so what was the sense.
Zeke lowered his arm away from her shoulders."I'll give you time then and maybe after that you will tell me who you are." he said to her.
I turned around and looked at him."Yeah maybe, till then I guess I'm just a friend." I told him smiling.
Zeke nodded."Yes, just a friend." And after saying that he was gone.
I sighed. When he said that word friend, he said it in disgust. For that was what kept Yoh and his gang all together, and Zeke hated it. He didn't understand the meaning of friendship and that is what made it so hard. For him to destroy Yoh; and for me to get close to him.
"Maybe I can help him understand." I whispered to the winds.
Yes, maybe I could get Zeke to understand what friendship really is.
Smiling to myself, I left to go in search for Zeke.
