I walked in slowly taking everything thing in. It seemed quite really quite. Not a sound even with my enhanced hearing. Walking down the hall my attention is drawn to a cabinet filled with pictures of graduates passed one of them is Micah. I so taken back I didn't notice the silk creping it's was down the hall. How did I not see it before how did it find me. My bracelet I needed my bracelet I ran to the last class room we was in where Reign interrogated me. There all my stuff was still lays and my bracelet sitting on the desk. I put it on and took a deep breath hopefully the silk didn't notice me.
Taking my time trying not to panic I walk slowly back to the cabinet that had Micah's picture. Before I can make it the burning in my chest hit me hard and fast. Its stronger then I have ever felt before it feels like I'm dying. That's when I see him and the fire is put out momentarily by the shock and the ice cold pin and needles that radiate through me. I can barely register Aurora screaming at me.
"SOLARIS, SOLARIS!!! Don't let him know we see him Don't let him know!!!!."
"How I cant look away I'm stuck the pain in my chest is to much the voices around me are going crazy Aurora what do we do."
"MICAH LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF MICAH."
"How is that going to help!"
"It's a wall of students that passed with any luck he will think we are losing our shit over a lost friend. WALK Sol you have to move NOW!"
With my breathing labored sweat poring from my face. The pain was becoming completely unbearable I was on the verge of passing out I was starting to see stars. Never in my all years have I ever fainted it was about to happen. Between the voices that are usually a dual rawr and Aurora screaming at me i didn't notice the man had stepped right next to me. The first thing that hit me was his scent, a mix of sandalwood fresh crispy winter smell wrap in a camp fire. It was in intoxicating it over took all my senses the voices hushed Auroras screams turned into purrs of pleasure. Everything around went quite it was silent I can't remember the last time everything was this quite a peace I never knew. I dared my self to look at him but I didn't allow it. The only glance I allowed my self was through the glass still looking at Micah's picture I could see the mans features through his reflection
His hair was dark long just past his shoulders unkempt in such away it looked deliberate. How I just wanted to run my fingers through it to see if it felt as soft as it looked. Why was I thinking that? I couldn't make out his eyes but they looked dark, but his jaw line was strong and squared his chin came to rounded point all covered by a short scruffy beard. He had strong brow line that curved perfectly above his eyes, a straight pointed nose that was centered perfectly on his face. His lips was full the bottom just pouted out the slightest bit from the top. I don't think anyone would notice unless you was really studying his face as I was. If only I could see his eyes
He stepped behind me every atom in my body was urging me to turn but I took the opportunity to turn to my side away from him. It was to much the pain in my chest had consumed my body all of me was on fire burning so hot my legs gave out and I knelt on the floor breathing heavily tears I didn't even realize was falling came out like a river. My eyes closed my face pointed to the floor the only thing I could do was force my self to breathe through it. Then he was in front of me I couldn't take it anymore I had to look at him. There he was standing in front of me his hand gripping his chest his eye still covered by darkness and I swear he's jaw was clenched. He knelt in front of me still I keep my face pointed down it felt like the hardest thing I ever did in my life not looking at him, tears still falling from my eyes. His free hand moved to my face I could feel him getting closer like static electricity before he made contact with the skin of my cheek. The second he traced my skin I stopped breathing that static turned into an eclectic current that ran through my entire body finally taming the raging fire that's was threatening consciousness. Turning to a calming warm tingle that went through to my fingers and toes.
How is this possible? What's happening right now? who is this man? How is he effecting me this way? Finally a moment of clarity. I could think clearly was he the reason I felt this burning in my chest my whole life? Has he been fallowing me this whole time? All my thinking stop the second his other hand took it's place on the other cheek. He guide my head up to look him straight in the eye. It's the one thing I have wanted to do sence I noticed him standing in the hallway why was I so scared now. Me the bad ass fighting half breed I have never been so scared then this moment right now. That was until I finally saw him inches from my face I could feel his breath on my skin it smelled sweet. Able to finally look in to his eyes. They looked just like mine but opposite. Dark crimson red with flexes of light blue it looked white.
"How is that possible?"
I just sat there staring how was I so calm it's like he tamed everything in me the voices were gone Aurora all I could sence from her was complete bliss my body relaxed I didn't even know I knew what that felt like the fire in my chest was gone filled with a comforting coolness. I didn't want it to end.
His lips was so close to mine i swear they touched ever so slightly. I could taste him I could feel his warm breath on my lips. His hand rested so gently on my cheeks as his thumbs wipe away my tears. My chest started to burn again but this was different then the fire. It reminded me I needed to breath, how could I forget to breath how long had a held my breath. My intake of breath seemed to snap him back to reality. His red eyes turned black he snatched away his hands so fast that if I was a supernatural I never would of seen it. Before I could stand he was gone, that movement brought Aurora to the surface
"We need to go NOW!"
