Come Love A Stranger

Mariah opened her eyes when she felt her feet on the ground, they were in her balcony and from the looks of the sky, she could tell it was the wee hours of the morning and slightly relieved that her family didn’t have to look for her or get worried over her. She looked up at Alador but he was oddly quiet and seemed to not be consciously with her. She reached forward and touched his hand, he stiffened and looked at her, she smiled to him and reached out to caress his face but he avoided her touch just before her hand could touch him.

Mariah was surprised at that and immediately asked, /"Alador, what is the problem?/"

Alador sighed and closed his eyes, /"I know what you must be thinking now./"

He opened his eyes and looked at her, sighing, he looked up at the night sky, /"I am so sorry you had see me in those forms. I had no intention of letting you know about them./"
