I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!
LISTEN TO 'SPARKS FLY' BY TAYLOR SWIFT FOR THIS CHAPTER!
The next day...
I quickly flew to some place that only I knew of. It takes about an hour to get there. I only have a couple minutes to go. It was hard to keep flying straight because I was still in lovey-dovey land. So far I've crashed into 2 trees. Yep. 2 of them.
I still don't know if I'm in love with Jack or not. I've met lots of other spirits throughout my lifetime but I've never felt this kind of connection towards any of them as I do to Jack.
I go to this place every time I need to think. And right now, I need to think. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going so I crashed into something blue and white.
"Hey!" Someone said in a grouchy voice. I know that voice!
"I'm sorry. I was going somewhere and I wasn't paying attention to where-" I finally looked up and found myself looking into some beautiful crystal blue eyes. "Jack?"
He looked up too. "Crystal? What are you doing here?" I smirked and crossed my arms.
"We're in the air. Am I not allowed to be up here anymore?" He chuckled and started flying towards me.
"Maybe. Maybe not. What do you think?" His cold breath whispered in my ear. I shivered and it wasn't because he was cold.
I smirked and dove straight down, leaving a very dumbfounded Jack still flying in the air. "Huh? Hey! Where'd you go?"
I flew down and hid behind a tree. Jack flew to the ground and looked around. I giggled. He smirked. "Crystal? Where are you?" He said in a light voice. I nearly fainted at the sound of his voice. I stayed in my hiding place.
"Hm. I guess she's not here. I'll go try somewhere else." He flew away. I giggled and looked out from my hiding place. As soon as I walked out, a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around me from behind. I jumped in surprise and gave a little yelp.
"Got'cha." A deep voice whispered in my ear. My legs were weak. I was at his mercy but at the same time, I was very angry at him for scaring me.
"Jack!" I whimpered as I pulled away from him. I meant for it to sound intimidating. I guess I'm still recovering from him touching me. He laughed.
"So where are you going anyway?" I started flying. Jack followed.
"Who said I'm going somewhere?" He chuckled.
"You did." I looked at him, confused.
"When was that?"
"When you bumped into me." Oh, yeah. Right...I have a bad memory.
"Oh. Well anyway, I'm going somewhere only I know of." I said as I flipped over and was laying on my back in the air but I was still flying.
"And where is it?" He asked.
"Follow me if you wanna find out!" I laughed and flew at full speed towards the place.
"What? Hey wait up!"
Okay, so I might have underestimated his flying skills. He's WAY faster than me. Too bad he doesn't know where he's going...
I stopped at a big boulder in front of a cave. I laughed. "Hey Jack! You're going the wrong way!" I yelled to Jack. He looked at me and flew to me. He laughed too.
"I underestimated you. You're a fast flyer." He held onto his staff with one hand and his other hand was in his pocket.
"I try."
"Okay, enough with the jibba-jabba. Help me move this thing." I said as I started to push the boulder. He helped. I grunted. "I swear, this thing gets heavier by the day."
"And how long have you been going here?" I stopped pushing for a second and look at him sheepishly.
"200 years. Giver take..." I said nervously. Jack smiled his award winning smile and shook his head. "What?"
"When you said that, it reminded me of my friend, Tooth." Tooth? I mentally pouted. Wait. Why am I feeling jealous?
"Is that the Tooth Fairy?" I asked.
He nodded, "One and only." We continued to push the rock until it was out of the way. We flew into the cave.
"What is this place?" Jack asked me. "You'll see." I smirked. He just rolled his eyes. "Somebody's a little impatient." I said.
"I just can't wait."
"Well here we are."
We walked for about a minute before we got to a wall of vines and leaves. It led to a beautiful white meadow. In the middle of the meadow was a tall, old, white peach tree. "Wow." Jack gasped.
"Got that right. Come on! You gotta see the view!" I took his hand and pulled him to the tree and we both flew up to the top and looked over the city. I pulled him to the top tree branch.
He gasped. "Wow." He repeated.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I asked. It had a perfect view of the sunset over the mountains(Link in my profile).
"Amazing..." He mumbled in awe. I smiled and looked at Jack. I like the way the sunlight reflects off the blue in his eyes. Before I knew it I found myself staring at Jack.
"Yeah..." I muttered but I wasn't talking about the sunset(This isn't awkward! Remember how Bella describes Edward and Jacob in Twilight? BOYS CAN BE CALLED BEAUTIFUL TOO!)
"Crystal?" Jacks voice shook me out of my trance.
"Huh? Yeah?"
"How did you find this place?" By now the sun was set.
"I don't really know..."
He looked at me, confused. "What do you mean?"
I sighed. "One day I was just flying around, having the time of my life. Then, something started calling me. I didn't know what it was. It just kept repeating my name. I started following the sound. It led me here. When I got to this tree, there was a woman floating just a few inches off the ground. She was beautiful. White hair, silver dress, dark blue eyes. She told me that this was a place of love and passion. She told me that there used to be two people that went here all the time. They were best friends. That they both loved each other but was too scared to admit it. That the girl was holding a big secret that no-one knew. It was eating her up inside. But one day, he found out. He felt guilty that he couldn't protect her from the secret. About a day after he found out, he died a tragic death. I don't know how he died. The girl was so devastated that she stopped breathing for a minute. Luckily she started breathing again. The girl was suffering. The woman told me that he was her reason for living. That she loved him with all her heart. That she wouldn't know what to do without him. The next day, she died giving her life for her lovers little sister. But 'till this day, no-one knows what her secret was or how the boy died."
Jack looked at me, shocked. "Creepy but sad story." He said in awe. "What did you do next?" He asked.
"After she told me the story she started fading away. I begged her to stay and to tell me more but all she said was 'Love never dies'. When she left I flew to the tree. There was a necklace hanging on a branch. It said the same thing. 'Love Never Dies'." I took off my necklace and handed it to Jack. It was a silver heart shaped necklace. It had some marks and scratches on it but it was still beautiful.
I continued, "I've been coming here ever since. For some reason, I feel connected to it. Like I'm a part of it. But it's just not complete." He nodded.
"Wow...Did you ever find out who the woman was?" He asked.
I shook my head. "Nope. But I think I know what her name was. it said it on her necklace. It said 'Taina'."
"Taina? Never heard that one before..." I laughed.
"I snuck into a library and looked it up. It means 'Mystery' It kinda fits. She is a mystery." I smiled.
The rest of the night we just talked and laughed.
But neither of us knew what was coming...
