Hey so I'm working on a bunch of chapters in between school and work. Ugh school; any who usual disclaimers now on with the story. know i have updated some of the pervious chapters please read them first.

Chapter 8

When Van and I woke up the sun hadn't risen yet. We talked about the different things our likes and dislikes, than about what had been happening here in Gaia since I left. Before we got to talking about me and what had been happening, the sun started to rise. It was beautiful, orange tinted the gardens below illuminating the plants and flowers; their colours glowed adding a wonderful mix of colours to the morning rise. You could hear life beyond the castle walls beginning to wake; it was like nothing I had ever seen or heard before.

I climbed out of the bed and moved to the balcony amazed, enchanted, and memorized by the beauty it all held.

"Van it's beautiful."

"I know, it reminded me of you. I woke up every morning looking out at this; I saw you in all of it, the beauty and bursting with life two of your many unique qualities."

I almost started to cry, he was saying that I was like this sunrise, as enchanting as it is but I thought it was more like him, ready to move forward and get past whatever obstacle lays ahead. I felt two pairs of strong arms wrap around me.

I could feel his warm breathe, falling on to my skin warming it. His lips made their way to my neck tracing my hollow to my jaw, than a nibble on my ear. I could feel the heat rising in my face, when he whispered in my ear.

"I hate to say this but we do have to face the day."

I took a deep breath and let it out; I had to calm myself before I said anything, I couldn't trust my own voice.

"Do we have to? Isn't there some way to freeze time and let us stay in this enchanting beauty?"

He let out a soft laugh, and I turned in his arms to face him putting my arms around his neck.

"I could think of many reasons as too why we shouldn't go out that door."

"I can too, but we don't have much choice. Breathe."

I let out air out of my body; I must have been holding my breath again.

"You can borrow some of my clothes till someone could come with, umm, clean clothes for you."

I could feel the heat rising again in face.

-Meanwhile—

"sir are you positive we should test that?"

"Yes. If she won't come home, then we'll just bring home to her."

Hey sorry it's short. I need to get all the sleep I can before I pass out in the middle of school.

I hope its okay. India; thank you for all the help.

Please review.
