• Chapter One

    I looked up as i heard a knock on the door. I got up to go answer it but before i could reach the door, Tyler walked in. He looked upset and kind of drained. He was much paler than he usually was. He shut the door behind him and locked it. He looked over at me, and i saw that his eyes were a pale grey. He must have just come from a circle. His jacket was ruffled, as if he had put it on in a hurry. He pulled me against him and hugged me. I heard sadness in his voice as he said "We were attacked." I must have had a major look of shock on my face because he kissed me softly and said "Nobody was hurt though." I pulled him closer and asked "What happened?" He sighed, as if he didn't really want to talk about it. He walked over to my bed and sat down. He looked up at me and patted the spot next to him. I trotted over to him and sat down. He pulled me closer and pulled out a small scrying mirror. He muttered a few words in Gaelic and a light shimmered on the black glass. Then i saw everything that happened. I wish i hadn't. I was literally shaking by the time the image faded away. He pulled me closer and kissed me. "I'm sorry you had to see it." he whispered. I leaned against him and let myself breath. Then a thought popped into my head. "Did they follow you here." i said. I could see myself in his eyes. I saw the fear within my own eyes. He had a look of panic within his own pale grey/blue eyes. We heard a sound outside. I shut the lights off. He locked all the windows and doors and closed the curtains. He knew i was afraid, more than i knew it myself. He sat down on my king sized bed and looked at me. I crawled up next to him and he pulled me closer. I jumped two feet when the doorknob moved. He held me down beside him. I could hear his voice even though he wasn't speaking. "Stay calm and don't move. Just relax yourself." he said. He held me close as we listened to the noises outside. I didn't relax at all. I was tense in his arms. He didn't say anything yet. My stomach quietly growled and i cursed myself for forgetting to eat supper. He stood up and walked over to the fridge. He didn't make a single noise as he did. He opened the fridge door and grabbed a couple pieces of pizza. He handed me a plate and we silently ate. We heard a loud crash outside. I almost fell off the bed when i jumped. He pulled me up on his lap and held me there. He put our empty plate on the table and kissed me. I jumped again when something hit the window. He pulled me down besides himself and kissed me. He knew i was afraid. Normally i jump at any sound i hear if it's dark out, but this time it's worse because i know it might be something that could kill me that is creeping around making the sounds. He whispered in my ear "Relax babe, just relax." I did relax myself, mind and body. I ended up falling asleep in Tyler's arms. The last thing that i saw was his pale colored eyes staring back into my forest green eyes.
