Demetris
Demetris could not believe it. He shook his head once she told him who she was. Alessandra Bianchi, a fairy of New Life! He let her show him life through her eyes and he found his heart fill with pain. With his human eyes, he has seen destruction, but nothing compared to that of a fairy. A fairy! He felt like he was in a dream. Maybe he was? He decided it did not matter at the moment.
When Alessandra severed the connection, he felt different. She had given him profound knowledge and he intended to use it wisely. He sat down upon the grass as a blade of sun cut through the canopy of leaves above his head. He dipped his toes in the water enjoying the raw nature wishing he could be in this moment forever. The woman still stood, her eyes bearing into his back, but he did not mind.
His thoughts reeled over what he had learned as he tried to find a way to show his fellow man that he was indeed telling the truth. After several minutes, he dismissed the thoughts and realized that he had never thanked the woman for telling him the information.
"Thank you for sharing that with me." Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind that slightly disturbed him. "How do you know me? I have only just met you, and yet you said you knew who I was! Please, tell me how this is so."
He saw her smile, her pearly white teeth glimmering in the sun. She was very beautiful, transfixing him. He stared deep into her eyes until he become so lost that time seemed to cease. He did not know how long he stared, but when she finally turned her head away from him, he noticed that the sun was no longer shining upon his skin. He looked up at the sky and saw that a thick gray cloud had covered the yellow orb. A single drop of rain splashed on his arm.
"Is there anywhere I can go to escape the rain?" There was no answer. He removed his attention from the sky and saw that the woman was gone. His heart ached as the rain drops got larger, soaking his clothes. He stood up, grabbed his belongings and hiked back to the motel where he took a long hot shower.
