Lilliana Pov
Trudging deeper into the woods, I kept my hands up in the air trying to balance myself as I tried to get across the fallen log. The sun was high in the sky, twinkling its way pass the treas giving heads up on the little holes begging to come lay in it. Crystal droplets free fall on me as I flung the crinkle branches away. I decided to get out and have a breather far away from home. Trying to keep this secret unleashed last night was my sinful miracle that I couldn't wait to do it this morning, but I had to leap out of bed to whoosh it away when mum stamped into my room. That's why I got this growing bruise on my upper shoulder as I tried to lift the piece of log to the side. Hissing my way through the day was all I could as I kept sloshing my way through the sludgy grounds. I could free-run my way through this place but I knew I could crashed into some of these trees filling this entire plane.
I stopped as I couldn't walk anymore. I looked around drinking in the surrounding of open space and filled of living souls of the plant kingdom. I knew I was far away from my house for anyone to hear or see anything that I got in my sleeves. Walking towards the ground filled of long feeble grass swaying in the low drift; it felt like a bed full of feathers as I stretched down across-arms spread like the snow angels. Fleeting under my back as if it's keeping me above ground.
My arms followed the movement of the soft wave as I closed my eyes and breathed in the summer air. Every breath that I tasted, I could count the seconds it took till the the feather greens turned to cermet sand. How the sound of drifting river flow turned was over-powered by the tempest waves. How, as I open my eyes, I could see the unforgettable laughter filled my lungs as I put in strength to look up at the navy blue sky as the moon swam through. I stood up and looked at the direction of the joyful melody, following the sound as I cross the empty beach towards the two small figures seating under the moonlight. Like they're talking to the moon about a secret that they couldn't share.
"Lilly, I promise you. We have forever to be best friends!"
"Embry you know we do-"
I stopped in my tracks as I touched my lips where Embry put a finger on the smaller version of myself. Trying to stop what I was trying to deny. I was paralyzed cause I never in my life have I ever felt what I was growing through my memories.
"We have forever to be together Lilly. If we promise from now under the moon tonight, it will be the promise we will keep no matter where or how long we are apart,"- I watched as I felt his finger trailed down my cheeks. I could feel the small ghostly grasp that I couldn't grab even if I tried, -"will find each other and be best friends till the end."
I looked down to my hand slowly releasing whatever I had to hold on to.
"Ya, I promise Embry," I said out loud to entwined my promise with my past.
Titling my head back, closing my eyes, I could feel the dust filled world swish away in a mini tornado from every breathe I took. I could feel it grazing across my neck and lifting my hair up in the air in full speed as it's starting to flee. I stared up at the moon as it still hung in the aqua sky, becoming a haze behind the leafy wings splashing back into smile.
"That was simply beautiful"
The air around me hung stale, my sense on high alert as my heart raced. Clutching my jaw together, body rigid by the recognition of the haunting voice that was stalking my little secret-out loud; surpassing me from the outside. Something was drilling in the back of my expose neck. Beads of sweat started to form in my nervous wreck called hands.
"I know you can feel me"
ERGH!
I fell to the ground as something rushed right pass me. My hand automatically went up to my neck as the smell hit me first- the salty irony of it all. The cut was little but the smell overwhelmed me to the point of pulsing... desire.
"Beautiful and exquisite...just my clover clove luck right... Lilliana."
I was too slow to react as the wind picked up speed as my name flew out from under my chin; strands of my hair danced with the trace. Coldness grip my heart and nerve its way up my throat, the voice still lingered in the air-taunting me. I tried to take another step, trying to shrug it off but that's when time stood still. I become a statue in this stand point as something from the corner of my eye moved with speed that my own eyes couldn't follower. Till I felt cold tips flew across my tender lips that send the shock wave to my head. Doubling over, clenching my head from the sudden intense throbbing in my head. Everything was on alert and burning from the new sensations intruding through my insides.
"The more you fight what you are...the more you'll destroy yourself inside."
the velvet taunt broke through my thoughts,repeating the same thing over inside from every grunt and screech I made.
Remember who you are, remember
"STOP!"
The more I screamed out loud the more the world around me turn to bronze-red. Throat turned to sawdust as I tried to erase the burning feeling. I fell frantically to the floor like someone hit the play button again. I didn't waste a second to get on my feet and run and this time I didn't bother to use average speed. I wanted to get out of here, out of this pl-
Stop
Something knocked me right off my feet and I flew pass the ferny and naked branches, crashing in the side of the moss covered boulder and landing with a thump on the ground. I flipped myself onto my back, devouring into the pain that was bubbling through me. The voice came running back- amplified to the extreme.
Shuush, shuush, don't move to much or it will hurt more.
I flung the pieces of moss that landed on my eye to see the picture shifting in and out of focus. Wiping the dirt away from eyelashes but stopped. When I heard the sound of aging leaves cripple by force of lighthearted steps. Calm winter breathe that soothed away the once trembling pain throughout my inhuman self. When I felt the cold human touch caress the small open wound.
Remember the deal
Darkness tied me down and stole my last thought away from me.
