3. Sunset

Bonnie Bennett entered the boarding house quietly. She left the door open as she knew he would hear it closing and walked into the study. Her bare feet were quiet on the wooden floor as she entered the room whose walls were hidden behind rows of books. At the end of the room was a large glass window and the blood red rays of the setting sun illuminated the night black piano. Snow white long fingers brushed across the keys and a bitter sweet melody filled the air that seemed to have stopped moving. The young witch was unable to breathe as she watched the beauty in front of her eyes. She would have never expected to see him like that and yet his eyes were closed, hiding the ice blue orbs from the cold and hard world they lived in. He seemed vulnerable and broken as he sat there and played the melody that echoed in her ears.

Suddenly the playing stopped and before the last note left her ears, he stood next to her.

"What are you doing here, witch?" He pressed out through clenched teeth.

"I was looking for you." She answered calmly. Her voice was smooth and did not show any fear as she spoke and once again he was impressed. In the course of the decades he had spend walking this earth, he hadn't met a lot of persons, let alone humans that could do that, not many humans that could stand in front of him and not flinch unwillingly as the fear passed through his body. Even if they didn't know what he was, their bodies told them, that something was wrong with the man in front of them and her, she absolutely knew exactly what he was and what he was capable of. He almost had killed her more than once, but there she stood. Confident she looked at him, her eyes clear as she kept his gaze and he knew she wouldn't back down.

"How can I help?" He questioned the dark haired girl in front of him. She stepped closer to him, their noses almost touching. "Just shut up." She mouthed at him and then she leant in.

And the moment their lips connected, the sun behind them sunk down and disappeared behind the horizon, awaiting the night to take over this world.
