chapter 12

They were in a dimly lit room both seated on beds opposite one another. The silence was eerie and none seemed in the mood to break it. A slight movement by her caused a creak from the bed adding to the awkwardness she already felt.

"do you need to bath or anything?" he muttered but yelled inside his head " of cause she does. She just got kidnapped a night ago,laid on the wet grassy land of the forest ,and yet you ask if she needs a bath. Smooth!! real smooth!!"

" I know hot water is best for you so I will heat up the water in the lake for you in a bit. excuse me" he vanished leaving an icy mist to form in the room.

The mist seemed to have a mind of its own as it swirled performing a dance around her. It moved touching evey single thing in the room like it was blessing it.The room got colder as it moved and she could feel her bones chatter.

The mist gathered heavily at the door and she could hear little squeaks coming from it. Her curiosity took the better of her and she found herself taking slow hesitant steps towards it.She stretched her hand into it but was caught off guard by a rabbit. It was a furry white rabbit with eyes like moon pearls. It's fur glistened against the moon light making it look so majestic.

"My lady!!" the rabbit shrieked. "oh its been decades since i saw your beautiful beautiful face. Oh my, you look quite tired and I must say hungry. Your skinnier, your skin isn't shiny. Neither can I feel your aura. Wait ,I feel it but it's not like before. It is much more weaker. Your hair isn't bouncy either nor white. You had white hair. What happened to your hair. Oh my lady who has done this to you. Give me the command and I shall strike them death wherever they lay" he kept on rambling leaving a confused Blu to wonder

" the water is ready, Blu" he spoke from behind the door. " you should leave Samuel, she needs to prepare for a bath"

Turning into an icy mist, the rabbit seeped through the door leaving her alone in the cold room.

The water was transparent against the powerful moonlight glistening in all beauty. It was awfully quiet except for the sounds of her own breathing and of the swans that played in the water. She took off her clothe one at a time until she was bare. her eyes scanned the place one more time before she plunged into the water which was deeper than she had expected. She took a few strokes back and forth waddling in the water like a duck but she didn't mind. And neither did the swans who took to watching her play.

She rubbed her skin gently and washed it off with water time and again before applying scented oil to her skin.

Unknown to her,he was watching her from the window. His eyes fixated on her and he could not seem to focus on anything else.He wanted to hold her waist cause he felt magic in her waistline. He had seen so many girls in his eternity of a lifetime but none of them could compare to her. He knew that his life would always be a paradise with her in it. He could not wait to make her face a smile. To take her away from the struggle she has been placed in. To hide her under his wings and to secure her under his arms.She was beautiful and with each splash of water he felt his mind black out like an empty street only to be relit by the passion and heat of the love he had for her. He could feel his days with her voice but if she could not remember,his night would be filled with broken dreams. He could not dare to imagine her not remembering. He was holding on to the hope that one day she would wake up and he would call her Blu and she would send him a smile so bright with her names on his lips - samhel.

Immersed in his thoughts ,he did not notice that she was standing in front of him with nothing but her lingerie and a silk top. Her body felt frozen barely allowing her to open her mouth. water dropped from her body, from the tip of her hair down to the very tip of her toes. She looked like the goddess of the lake. Her blue eyes shined a more intense hue. He looked up and his eyes saw it.

She was back!!
