Temptation. The overwhelming feeling brought upon ones' own sanity. Testing it. Craving the unknown. Rolling the taste of temptation off the tip of your tongue like a slight pleasurable sensation. Can one defeat ones' own temptation into wanting to discover the unknown? Or will they be drawn into the insane feeling of being brought into an unexplainable question between ones' own sanity and ones' own tempts.

Chapter 3: The Party VS. The Temptation

A taller, good-looking man opened up the door to his apartment with a smile. Loud music could be heard from inside. The bass of the music giving off a slight THUD! every now and again. Kelly smiled back and showed herself in. She kept all her stuff on, but didn't know why. She would later.
"Thanks again, Andy," Kelly spoke softly, but loud enough so that she could be heard overtop of the music.
"No need to thank me," the taller man, known as Andy, said. Kelly watched the expression on his face. She was searching for something. Perhaps a flaw. Some kind of delusion in his eyes that explained the surreal. As she lost her train of thought, she began to question her own sanity at this point. Andy took her by the hand and led her through some people, making his way across the room to the empty couches.
Well, nearly empty. One seat was taken. A man was in this seat. He wore all white. Kelly seemed to be mesmerized by the everlasting white. He had blue eyes and strawberry blond hair. Odd for a man, but none the less, it seemed to suit him well. As the two approached him and got closer, his eyes seemed to meet with hers and they locked on each other. Kelly saw this as a sign of danger. It was the sound of Andy's voice that killed their 'moment'.
"Ryan!" Andy grinned stupidly. The man named Ryan smiled, but Kelly could see right through him. The smile was fake and he was hurting inside. Badly.
"Hey.." Ryan's voice was dignified. It was electrifying. Kelly found her chest starting to hurt again. Ryan seemed to look at her again. Andy was talking, but neither seemed to care. Ryan was focused on Kelly. He noticed her pain. Kelly felt herself invading Ryan's thoughts. And what she found shocked her. Ryan's eyes shut tightly and Kelly was flushed away from inside his mind. A small grin appeared on both of their faces.
'Telepathic?' Ryan asked thoughtfully.
'Yeah.. Fortunately.. I can see you are as well?' Kelly blinked and made a small laugh at her stupid question.
'Pretty much. Not as good as you.. Who are you?' Andy hadn't noticed that Ryan and Kelly weren't listening at all. He hadn't even noticed the immediate connection the two had made in his presence.
'Just a wanderer. Looking for clues.'
'And?'
'You're the starting point. Ryan Haturi,' Ryan grinned. He looked at Andy and randomly nodded, letting the clueless male know that there was life somewhere in their non-existent conversation. Something was said between the two as Ryan leaned over to Andy, but Kelly couldn't make it out between the noises from the people and the ridiculously loud music. Ryan turned and disappeared into the crowd of people. Andy looked at Kelly. Shrugged. The took off himself. Kelly let out a much needed sigh of relief and sat down on the couch.
A sudden urge to follow the one named Ryan began to overwhelm her. So she stood up, and walked in the direction he had. The people were glued together. Some so close it seemed as though things were more than they seemed to the naked eye.
Ryan hadn't gotten to far through the mess of people. He was sitting in Andy's room. Kelly entered and shut the door behind her. Both of their eyes met once more. A faint blush seem to rise onto Kelly's cheeks. Ryan just laughed.
"Did you want something?" Ryan stood up and began to walk over to her. Kelly's chest was pounding again. There was something about him. What was it? It was.. Satisfying. Kelly wanted to take him right then and there, "Hmm? Was there?"
Kelly snapped back to reality, "Not really.."
"Then why did you shut the door?" Kelly found herself trapped. She had gotten herself into quite a mess now and didn't know what to do about it. She bit her bottom lip, holding back the temptation that was now dwelling deep inside her.
"I.." Kelly couldn't think of anything to say in response. With each step Ryan took as he got closer to her, Kelly could feel the fire burning inside her. She needed some kind of release now. This man. Who the hell was he?
"You? You what?" Ryan was now standing directly infront of Kelly. She had backed herself up into the door so that she was pressed right against it. Now she couldn't think of anything to say. Her eyes began to study his face and Ryan took one step closer. Kelly could see this ending in disaster. But every thought she had now was replaced her lust and temptation. She shouldn't do what she wanted. No. Not yet. She wasn't ready.
Ryan raised his left hand. Kelly watched as it met with her face and cupped her right cheek. The blush she had, had when she first entered the room had now returned. This wasn't good. Not for her. Not now. She wasn't ready.
Ryan began to lean in towards her. No. Not now. Not.. But it was too late. The two kissed each other immediately. Kelly felt the world disappear beneath her feet and she melted into a whole new place filled with wants and desire. She was on fire.
'This isn't right,' Kelly said inside their heads.
'Then why are we doing this?' Ryan replied. They were still mixed up in their heated kiss. Ryan had now pressed himself right up against Kelly. She was pinned between him and the door. She moved her hand towards the doorknob but Ryan caught her head, 'Don't..'
'I shouldn't be doing this.. I.. I can't.. Why?..' Kelly's thoughts that had gotten mixed inside Ryan's head were confusing him. He broke their kiss and stared at her. Her eyes were shut. She was still thinking, 'I.. I don't understand this.. I don't even know you..'
'I'm the starting point in your wandering. The first clue. To your past. Isn't that what you seek?' Kelly's eyes opened. Ryan had lied. Ryan told her he wasn't as good as her when it came to reading minds. But he could see right into her heart and knew what she seeked.
'You lied.'
'Indeed I did.'
'Why?'
'Is that important?' Ryan and Kelly's fingers intertwined with each other and leaned in and kissed her again, 'I don't know what this is. This had never happened to me before. But it is now. I'm just following what I think is right. And there's something about you.'
'How many times have you used that one?' Kelly knew this was wrong. But she couldn't stop herself. Everything she had gone by was now being erased. She had gone against everything.
'Never. Not once. Only with you. And you can see right through me. So you would know, wouldn't you?' Ryan used his free hand and held onto her waist. Kelly broke the kiss this time, pushing him backwards.
"No. I can't do this," Kelly opened the door before he caught her and ran out. Andy was sitting on the couch now with a weird look on his face. He saw Kelly come from somewhere in the mass of people and blinked. Ryan was close behind her. Something had clearly happened. But he didn't know what. Andy got up as well and followed them.
Kelly ran out the front door. It was her only getaway. Ryan was still following when she looked back. She just kept running though, never faulting, never stopping. Andy was behind Ryan as he ran out the front door as well.
"Ryan!!" Andy cried out.
"Not right now!!" Ryan yelled back. The strawberry blond man saw Kelly step into the elevator down the hallway. He cursed out loud and dashed into the stairwell. Andy watched him go and gave up. He would find out what happened later. Definitely later. He had to know. Andy hadn't seen Kelly run out like that in about a few months. Not since the incident with Matt.
Ryan was nearly jumping all the way down the stairwell. Kelly was watching the digital numbers tick down to ground level. She was now tapping her foot, becoming incredibly impatient with the slow style of the elevator. Kelly now cursed out loud as well.
Finally! 3. 2. 1. Ground level. Kelly was about to dash out and stared infront of her. Someone was standing there. Already. Waiting for her it almost seemed like. She felt herself want to collapse from her chest pains which kept increasing. And she did. Her body fell to the ground. But the person infront of the elevator caught her just in time.
