After the meal of deer, I felt like my thirst was quenched. I smiled softly as Ryan and I walked calmly back to our place of residence of the current time. It wasn't much, just a small cottage in the country. Ryan told me we're safest in the country because the cities were getting bombed. I believed him until… one night… We were sat around a table, playing cards and listening to music on the old fashioned radio when we saw a flash nearby and a rumble of what sounded like thunder. My stomach twisted when I saw and heard another flash and rumble, "Bombs…" Ryan whispered. "It must be a German trying to escape or something!" I guessed. "What do we do? We'll get blown to bits!" Ryan nodded in agreement with my statement, "Yes… we could die…"
"What? You said we couldn't die!" I shouted as the noise got louder and closer. "We can only die in certain ways, and getting ripped apart and burned is one of them! We have to run!" That was when I heard the plane fly overhead, I felt Ryan's hand grasp mine, yanking me out of the cottage at great speed, pulling us both to the ground as the shockwave passed over us followed by the enormous clamoring noise of the bomb hitting our cottage. We lay there for some minutes before looking around at the cottage which was blown to bits. I got up slowly, walking back into the wreckage, looking for anything to be salvaged, there was nothing. I felt a hand against mine, I looked at Ryan and together we walked out of the debris and broke into a run, "Where are we going?" I asked as we ran.
"Somewhere else in the country, then once this war is over do you want to go to America?" he asked.
"America? I've never been there before…" I thought about it, "Are there others there?"
"Yes, I'm friends with a coven of seven who are like me, 'vegetarians'" he explained. I thought about it more and then nodded. "That sounds good" I smiled softly. We came to a stop at another cottage, it belonged to an old lady who gladly allowed us to stay for as long as we wanted. She didn't want any young evacuees so she used us saying we were brother and sister evacuees. When the officers visited us we could fool them. We went hunting twice a week and I always had the best time. I was able to use my power to persuade the old lady that there was nothing to see if we brought home our food and she was none the wiser.
Days felt like minutes, Months felt like hours, Years felt like days. I was sat on the sofa of the cottage, the old lady had passed on to us when she passed on, watching the T.V when Ryan came in and announced something. "Shall we go to America?"
"Like now?" I had not forgotten that he wanted to go to America.
"Yeah, I'll book the flights online now if you like." he suggested. I nodded and went back to watching the television while he turned on the computer and went online, "Is tomorrow okay?" he asked after a few minutes. "Yeah tomorrow's fine" I looked over to him and smiled. "You know… I'm quite glad you changed me… now I can be with you forever." I said quietly. He looked from the computer screen with his beautiful eyes. "It's just… everything about you…. No never mind…" I shook my head and turned away. He was next to me in a second, "No… go on…" he whispered. I turned towards him, "Everything about you… takes my breath away…" I said quietly my cheeks if they could would be flushing a pink colour right now. His perfect lips curled slightly into a smile. He kissed my lips gently before curling up, his arm around me watching the T.V with me before getting up again, taking out a DVD for us to watch; 'How to train your Dragon' it was a very intriguing film. It definitely changed my view on dragons!
The next day came fast, and Ryan and I were on our way to the airport in my blue Audi A5, he was flicking through my CD albums wondering what music to put on. In the end he put on 'Muse' and he started singing along to Starlight, I smiled and joined in on the chorus. I stepped more on the pedal and sped through the roads until the airport was in sight, I parked up in the car park and took out all my CDs and putting them in my suitcase before going into the airport hand in hand with Ryan. We sat for a while until our flight was called. We lined up and got onto the plane, Ryan gave me the window seat but before I sat down he immediately shut the window blind, "Just until we are out of the sun."
"Awww but I want to see you shimmer" I teased, he smiled at me but shook his head, "It's too risky, I'd stand out too much" he grumbled. He sat down next to me and after a few minutes the plane took off and we were on our way to America. I acknowledged his judgment knowing what he said was right, I set my head back and began to pretend to sleep, thoughts moving swiftly through my mind.
