chapter six:
(Jeena/Kaeri's POV)
I wasn't sure why I did what I had done, the sensation of his hand against my cheek brought back shadows of remembrance, but nothing strong enough to create a picture.
But he told me humans and krawl were enemies by nature, but why? What was it that made us want to get rid of eachother? Why didn't I feel this desire? Oddly enough, I felt more comfortable around him than than among my own kind.
Then I had the dream.
It was almost as if I had exited my own body and entered that of a new one- an new me. A human. I had no control of my own body, yet all of the movement felt natural.
I was looking at myself in a mirror, looking at a woman with an appearance simalar to my own in some ways, yet different in others. Her skin was darker than my off-white, her blue eyes less intnse, and her pink hair a shade lighter. Like someone had taken my features and softened them. I held an odd envy, the woman seemed so much more beautiful than I. She wore a long white dress that exposed her arms and shoulders. That was when I realized: the woman was me.
I involuntarilly moved away from the mirror, and in front of two heavy looking wooden doors. The doors opened, revealing a long room. The room had rows of seats on either side, which were filled with other humans, many of which looked oddly familliar. And at the end of the room I saw him. The Spectrobe Master standing sideways in front of an old man, looking over at me with a smile on his face.
The people immidiately stood up as I began to walk toward the end of the room, making my way toward him. I took his hand and held it tightly. I could see his and he older man's lips moving, and feel my own, but I could not hear anything. I knew that both of us were giving some sort of vows to eachother.
Without meaning to, I wrapped my arms around his neck, as he wrapped his around my waist as we pulled eachother closer. I closed my eyes and felt something come in contact with my slightly-open mouth: his. This was what humans called a kiss. I somehow knew exactly how to kiss. This went on for about ten seconds untill I felt his lips leave mine.
I woke up with a start. It wasn't the vividity of the dream that startled me, but how much I wish the dream were reality. Somehow I had doen it before. But what was this feeling stirring inside of me? A feeling of wanting to be around him despite all odds? It took me a moment before I recovered the Spectrobe Master's name, and after bringing a slightly shaking hand to my lips wispered "I love you, Rallen."
