CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

Reed knew it was Adam hiding behind a tree so he decided to do something. He didn't know if what's he's about to do would have any consequences but still he wanted to give it a try. He got closer to Emerald so close that Emerald had to move away from him everytime he came nearer to her.

"um.. Reed, I don't think you should". Before she could take another step, Reed got closer to her and pulled her to himself. He stared directly into her eyes as he lift up her chin. He could feel Emerald tremble at his touch. He couldn't remember when last he made someone feel this way. "Reed..". Emerald but before she could say anything Reed moved his lips closer to hers but as he was about to kiss her, he felt a force pushing him away from her making him fly causing his back to hit the tree few metres away.

Shocked by everything, Emerald turned to see what just happened and appearing out of his hiding place was Adam with his eyes all red. Emerald has never seen him this way before.
