Moonlight (I)

Dear readers...I sincerely apologise for late update...I've been very sick ... and I'm still sick...I honestly don't know if I'm getting better...but today I felt my fingers crying to write and found strength...but my body is really weak I can barely move... please forgive me... and pray I become better. I'd make it up to you guys

MELISSA'S POINT OF VIEW

I couldn't really explain in detail what it is that was going on....why everyone was looking at me with expectant eyes.... cloaked in worry... I could feel power flowing in my veins like it was blood in me...but it seemed this people wanting more...they wanted more than the power I can offer... my uneasiness was something I still couldn't fathom... it's like a part of me hidden... perhaps buried is calling out to me ...but I feel like a broken record...no! worse than a broken record cause my memories had so many lost pieces so it's not possible I can fix the puzzle.

I held up my white goddess attire...white as snow with waves of sky blue... the gown was sleeveless... it's white crystals were carefully embedded that made it glitter like stars and diamond in a cave... my gloves were marching the white gown and I knew my outworldly look was so magical....I could feel it...just these dresses were enough to pull me into the world...the sky!.. and make me soar ...I really loved the dresses...

As my silhouette came into view ... I bet I heard some people gasp in worship...was it of my figure? were they adoring me? as this thought swept into my consciousness...I felt tingle run through my veins...a sense of shyness and pride...I subconsciously raised my head up high like the goddess I am and let my gown flow down the steps behind me with every step I took descending into the moon lite night ..the field was a splendour...

We were having another party... this time an outdoor party... Allen has been throwing parties recently and I was beginning to feel more deja Vu s ...did I like parties? the dresses I picked for each party made me feel I've been there in that party with these dresses before... well I could tell throwing the parties was a deliberate action from Allen's side but it seemed like my body knew my heart and picked my goddess attires for me..

but while I was busy trying to fix the pieces...I felt a warm aura envelope me ..one I was very familiar with that my tensed nerves immediately relaxed even without knowing where it came from and seeing who it belonged to...

"my damsel..."

this warm deep voice was so fresh in my memory that my heart skipped and my body froze...I looked down...two steps below me...stood lord Allen in an angelic attire...one almost marching mine .. only his didn't have white embedded crystals...his hair was packed in a bun just like mine...I subconsciously swallowed as my throat ran dry...my eyes met his and he seemed he was in almost the same daze I fell into but he was doing well to manage his... oh god! he looked so good...his face was so neat ... smooth and his eyes burning bright like the moon light above us ..it suddenly felt like we were alone...a sweet cool night breeze seemed to had escaped from the lake and so brushed pass my skin...our skin...I couldn't read his expression but I felt a sensation...one I couldn't really explain...one that made me move in a rather slow pace as I walked gracefully towards him before I could.. no! would melt into the smooth crystalized steps underneath my feet...

I took his hand and I felt him squeeze it a little and he lifted it up to kiss it...I fell into another daze ...I hadn't expected that...his kiss was tender and he gracefully lifted his gaze to meet mine...I hadn't noticed the people applauding me earlier when my silhouette appeared...but as he led me on.. further into the dance floor...I noticed the applaud slowly faded... our eyes were lucked and it seemed he too was having a difficult time looking away... well because we were having same hair bun...I thought we looked like twins and I smiled at him...he almost halted like he froze causing me to frown slightly at him . .. without a word but I bet he could read my ' come on...what's wrong?' look that I gave him ..I saw his Adam's apple move and I wondered why ...what was going on in his head...why was he looking at me that way? ... like I was some sweet I've cream... his eyes...his lips were trembling a little..not to anyone's eyes. .but I could see it alone...his heart was beating louder than usual...was he?... I noticed he was frozen...As if glued to the floor... honestly...for the past week now...I realized that there was something off with this lord... what really was wrong with him? was he sick just like me? is his life in danger too? oh no! the thought of this made my body tremble and I was cloaked with worry...I turned to him fully and as I was about to take a step closer to him ... since our hands where intertwined at both arms length...I stumbbled upon my goddess attire and fell towards him...I had stepped on my dress... though I was sure I didn't didn't rip the lace ....but I'm sure I've messed it up somehow...

My gasp wasn't really loud but he could hear it ..he'd caught me in his arms....he was holding me like I was so fragile...yet his grip so tight like he was savouring my scent from my shoulder blade ..his breath was warm around my ear causing me to shiver...with the way he held me like he never wanted to let go...I felt like we were in slow motion... Allen had been acting all weird recently...I did remember what transpired between us...how it was his fault I had to loose my powers.how i hadn't been able to fulfill my promise to my dear little late Monica....but deep down I had forgiven him...but it was him who hasn't forgiven himself... sometimes he'd avoid me ..but the times when this memory of how he'd hurt me didn't seem to flood his soul ..he was rather lost in this other feeling I am yet to understand..... he cared too much for me ..he was always holding on to me longer than usual each time time and tide gave him the opportunity...he never wanted to let go...

I could hear murmurs coming from the crowd ... Allen had been holding me so long now....too long that I was beginning to think...wonder if I was hurt in my feet....

"Allen?!"I tried to reach out....I lifted my hand and my cold fingers touched his nape... causing him to pause...I felt him shiver a little but hell.. .that shiver wasn't out of cold or something...it was a hot sensation... burning him ..and then I realized we were in an intimate position...I couldn't pull off still...his grip tightened the moment I tried...I looked up and noticed the moonlight had circled us .. putting us in the spot light.
