THE NIGHT GLIDER (CHAPTER TWO)

CHAPTER TWO -GEORGETTE

Georgette traced Lucas' destination. She followed him everywhere he flew without him knowing. Lucas finally perched at a shore and Georgette followed.

Before Georgette could speak, Lucas sighed and said, "I flew to a place as far as I could fly to. I ended up here, not knowing you were following me. And now I havenowhere to go."

"You weren't fast enough," She judged. She breathed and sat beside him. Lucas was watching the sky. Georgette watched the steady sea. Lucas felt strange about what he was seeing. Georgette looked into his eyes and wondered, "What makes you look at the sky that long? No one ever does."

"Why are there no," he looked for the words to use, "stars?"

"What are stars?" Georgette was very curious. There haven't been any star in the skies of Dark Flights. The sky was always empty. Dark. And silent.

Lucas stared at Georgette, "Stars are objects in the sky at night. They make...," he held a handful of cold water in his hands and poured it into Georgette's, "...the cold and dark night bright and..."

"Beautiful?" Georgette asked.

Lucas stared in her eyes for a while. Then he released her hand and said, "Yeah."

"How do you know?"

"I- I don't even know."

"Glider..." She was about to finish.

He sighed in exhaust, then he said with a bit of a furious voice, "My name is Lucas. I am not what you think you are."

It took a while for Georgette to speak again. She appeared like she was trying to figure out what makes Lucas say all those of what he said. Then a few seconds later she spoke, "What makes you think against your creator? Why are you like this?"

"I don't know why. But I have this strong feeling that I've been something else long ago. I just don't know why, how. And even what makes me think I'm just..." He left the conversation unfinished.

He almost flew away until a ball of water was thrown to his head and made his hair wet. He turned around and saw Georgette standing with a wet hand and a mischievous smile on her face. He sarcastically laughed and said, "Do you even know what you just did?"

She raised an eyebrow and beautifully shook her long brunette hair: "Do you know that I don't care?"

He stared at her, rolled his eyes and walked away. Few steps after, he was hit by another one on his back. He closed his eyes, trying to control his temper. Yet, he turned around and stomped his feet on the ground as he walked towards her. Georgette unintentionally mesmerized him with her beautiful hazel eyes. A few seconds later she moved a little closer, "And you were saying?"

Lucas forgot to breathe for a second.

Then Georgette laughed naughtily, turned around and flew away.
