Don't own characters. I think you all know that by now. BUT! I gotta tell ya.
SO… On with the story!
Soran's POV
I closed my eyes, replaying the scene I had just read in my mind.
Julian just revealed himself as the dark elves' king. Clad completely in white, he led Jenny to the King's garden,
Moonlight shown, illuminating the wonders of the alluring cavern.
Then, in the midst of all the mystery and beauty of the cave, Julian had given Jenny a single, silver rose, with petals (not yet completely open) as soft as down feathers.
Oh! I can only IMAGINE the sight!
A handsome young man, no older than I, yet ancient beyond imagination. A soft smile playing on his lips as he holds out the rose. His white hair, shinning like starlight due to the rays cast by the full moon, falling seductively into his eyes.
His eyes…
So bold. So unique. So… intriguing. A clear shade of violet that no human mind can imagine. Eyes that can be so bright one second, but cold and dan- Wait… Violet?
But… Julian had blue eyes…
I watched as my mental picture of Julian morphed into the stranger I have come to see almost ever night.
Sasame.
I sighed and closed my book. No use in reading it now.
Why can't I get him off my mind? Why can't I stop thinking about him? I barely even know the guy! And here he is, plaguing my thoughts and interrupting my story!
This is so out of my character. I don't have friends. I don't have acquaintances. I don't talk to anyone unless spoken to. And even then I use the minimum amount of words I can.
So why do I open up to him?
I looked up at the sound of the bell. A red head with her hair cut short was being dragged in by someone with golden locks and glasses. Luckily, my co-worker had already approached them. The red head looked around, her eyes finally falling upon mine. I was… startled by her gaze. She waved a hand in friendly greeting and I couldn't help but smile in response.
No!
I averted my eyes quickly. What's gotten into me? First Sasame and now this girl?
I looked up and caught my co-worker's eyes. They were wide with disbelief. He'd never seen me smile unless something happened in a story or other. I doubt he's even ever heard me talk. I shot him a distant glare and watched as he returned to his customers.
When the two left, it finally hit me. The connection between Sasame and that girl. There had been one. I'm sure of it. But it had nothing to do with facial features, (not that they had any connecting in that way) or auras, or anything like that. But it was their… presence. Though the girl's had not been as… familiar as Sasame's, it was definitely the same. They both had a sort of presence about them that almost demanded my attention. It makes me feel… relaxed… open… like… they could be trusted… with…
I shook my head.
No. I could not tell them that.
I quickly clutched both sides of my head and gave a small gasp as my mind played past memories. They were from when I woke up. Not this morning. A long time ago. I remembered a white light. It… spoke to me. A clear, musical voice of a woman. Tenderness and love clouded my mind as I recalled the few words she told me all those years ago.
Find the true.
Find yourself.
My nails dug slightly into my scalp as I felt something… opening inside me. Something small, but powerful. I felt… power…
When the feeling subsided a little, I placed my head down on the table and concentrated on my breathing. Why was it so hard? What was that? Something had blossomed inside me, but what? What's going on?
I heard my co-worker, Shima, ask me if I was alright. Slowly, I nodded my head and murmured a small "yes". He startled some at my verbal response, then proceeded with his affairs.
A small, yet heavy sigh escaped my lips.
I couldn't tell them… Well, not yet.
