(A/N) Phew! This chapter took a while to write. Every time I thought I had it, it went away. And I spent most of my week trying to catch it. Enjoy!
Today, I had requested a lazy day in which Marcus and I would just relax. We went back to the hills and stayed there, dawn till dusk. We were safe, because this was a place of magic. Natural magic that was always there, just never noticed. Humans had a such a short life span so, to make it seem longer, they filled it with activities. They did not stop to marvel at the wonderful world they had been put in. So many natural beautys had been left ufound. Therefore the hills were unknown to them.
We were there in time for the sun's rise, which again, amazed me. The humans had busy lives. They were always moving, even in sleep they were not still, not completely at rest. But the sun, it moved even when the humans on this side had fallen asleep. Then it went to brighten other peoples day. It was magic how there were many planets circling the sun, but they moved with such precision, they were placed so carefully, we never got to even see the any of the others.
More magical still, were the passionate flames that needed no more fuel than a glance at Marcus. They were ignited deep down in the furness called my heart. They licked up my body consuming all my worries, every bad feeling. The mark they left was not a burn or a blister, but a smile or a sigh. These were the flames that had changed me, so many months ago.
"I love you." There was no way my whisper could portray the depth of emotion I felt, but Marcus could feel our relationship and he knew how deep it was. He held my hand and the fidgety fire flames blazed at the contact, creating an almost visible link between us.
"You tell me often enough that I know that. I know it, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate hearing it. I love you too." I sighed when I heard this. It was a sigh of contentment, of bliss. Because that was what this moment was. Not a point in time or a past memory. It would never be just a marker of eternity going by. It was, instead, the very definition of happiness. As was every moment I spent with the amazing vampire at my side. A vampire so good, kind and thoughtful, he could only be human.
I thought back to the time where vampires wern't myths. I remebered what it was like when your humanity was judged by your actions. If something you had said or done was inhumane then you were punished. That was the world I grew up in. If it had never changed, Marcus would be called human.
"You seem to be thinking of something really hard. What is it?" Marcus's sweet voice interrupted my mind, because when he spoke, I could no longer keep coherent thoughts.
"Just thinking in general, you know." I didn't know how to sum up thoughts in a few sentences so I stuck with evasivness. Marcus understood. He nodded thoughtfully, looking back at the sky. The sun was sitting proudly in the middle, shining light on everyone and everything. The sky around it was dark and gloomy, which just made the sun look more immense in comparison. It was very much a metaphor for life, the sky today. When you think it is going the worst way possible, you find something to be happy about. Even if is just sweet blankness. A day with nothing in the middle of a life with everything. The clouds slowly moving by, and the sun gently making it's way to the west - the only markers of the time spent lying on the soft grass in a dreamy meadow under a gloomy sky and a happy sun. It was the best lazy day ever.
(A/N) What else did I spend my week doing? Writing! I now have a One Shot (really short) about Alice Cullen called 'Uncompleted Moon' so check it out! Also I'm working on another One Shot about Alice (which doesn't yet have a name) so look out for that too! And dont forget to review!
