Augustine's POV
I fled the room quickly as I can, confused with what's going on. Why does she kept seeing me and why can't I stay away from her? There's got to be a better explanation to this. Most people only saw me once, by chance. This not a coincidence, this is more than what it seemed, this is our fate tangling with each other. And the more I investigated, the more I got lured into her, like a magnet, a drug. She was irresistible and I must know more about her.
I should know better...but...
I cannot help it, I wanted to be with her, I wanted to follow her around. It was an urge, a drive that I couldn't resist. Something's pulling me to her and I'm afraid I might not be able to control myself, put her in danger.
I disappeared to get my focus back. I left her unattended and the thought of leaving her was enough to drive me nuts. I wanted to go back, watch her sleep, watch her dream, watch the rapid movement of her eyes, the slow rise and falling of her chest, the sound of her moan when she dreams about the angel she keeps seeing.
There's only one option I see from here on, I need to be able to get closer to her, but not in the way I'm doing right now. I don't need to scare her, I need to erase the intuition she has, her suspicion. I need her to see me another way. A human.

Jade's POV
There he was, staring right at me while I did the same. Our eyes were glued to each other. My eyes glazed and hypnotized, but there was something else with him, there's a sense of curiosity in his eyes like I was subject he needs to study.
What does he want from me?
"Let's go, Jade!" Murmured James impatiently. "You're staring at him again."
Thank goodness for James insistence, tugging my backpack as he ushered me with him. His smooth footsteps faster than normal. He meant to get away from there as quickly as he can.
"The hallway is too packed anyway, I'm starting to get sweaty." He said.
I nodded in agreement, my lips pressed tight, I couldn't think clearly enough to have a snarky remark. Though, I couldn't help but steal a quick look behind my shoulder to see if Augustine is still watching.
He iss and he's closer.
Then I heard a voice...the same voice that spoke inside my mind before. The same fluid sound of his voice, I knew it was him. It was Augustine speaking to me.
Jade...
