Lovely Desire, Breanna Davis [read an ebook week .TXT] 📗

a person. Maybe a female from clearly feminine curves.
“But you’re weak.”
I guess that the voice came from the lady, but who was she talking to? I turned around and saw no one behind me. She must be talking to me. She had to.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I whispered. I was scared. I could feel my heart thumping in my throat. I never have been so scared in my life. My nerves were wiring and alive, alerting me of evil near, but I wasn’t listening. My feet were glued to the spot.
The lady seemed to ignore me because she continued. “I may not be stronger you, but I posses a higher title than you. You were a person I would praise, but now . . . I pity you.”
I narrowed my eyes. What was she talking about? She pitied me . . . I didn’t understand. What title was she talking about? Once again, I checked to make sure no one was around me. When I came up empty again, I looked at her with confused eyes.
“I don’t understand.” My voice was still a whisper, but raw with fear
The lady ignored me again. “You let . . . love get in your way. You were supposed to marry me! Not fall for a human!”
The lady screamed this time. Her voice bounced off the walls. I nearly jumped out of my skin at the amount of conviction she had in her voice.
She certainly couldn’t be talking to me. It wouldn’t even make sense if she was. She was indeed a lady, and I’m sure I’m not supposed to marry her . . . so who was she talking to? And what about the way she said human. It was like she relating to a whole different species from herself. Like . . . she wasn’t one. But that didn’t make sense . . .
Then, she stepped into the light. Her hair was as dark as night and fell down her back, past her waist. Her body was small and curvy. She was gorgeous and I could never compete with her. She was the raven haired beauty.
What was she doing here? And what did she want from me? Most of all, who was she talking to? She wasn’t even looking in my direction. It was as if she didn’t even know I was here. She was looking straight ahead, looking at something I couldn’t even see.
My feet moved again, but I didn’t protest this time. Curiosity got the best of me. It was then that I realized that my feet were bear and there was something wet that I was stepping in. The same liquid that I woke up in. It smelt horrid.
But, I glued my eyes to the raven haired beauty. She was clearly fuming at whatever she was looking at.
“I knew you never loved me,” she said with a shake of her head. “But I never knew you would leave me for her.” She laughed. “I thought you were smart enough not to bring her into it.”
She crossed her arms across her chest and looked intently at whatever was in the shadows.
“Now she’s going to die,” She laughed again and this time it was loud and buoyant and expressed freely. She tilted her head back with the laugh. “All because of you, Trent.”
I tensed up at the sound of Trent’s name. What was going on here? But I had to see it for myself.
I moved slowly towards the person in the shadows, one step at a time. I held my breath, not trusting myself to even breathe. When I stepped beside the raven haired beauty, I saw him.
He was breathing hard, leaning against the stone wall, his arms tied up by chains that was connected to the wall. His muscles were huge and tensed and I had a feeling he could easily break the chains.
“She isn’t going to die.” He said roughly. He looked up and I gasped. His eyes . . . weren’t gray. They were black. No – engulfed in black. But they were familiar. Yes, when I was drawing him . . . I saw those same pair of eyes. But, I never thought into it. I didn’t care. I thought it was just my imagination. But there they were, glittering black from the light of the candle. But they were beautiful and didn’t scare me at all.
“Yes she is! I’m not going to kill her. Because if I do – you’ll kill me and I know you can,” She shook her head. “I’m not the same person you left back in Italy. I’m different, now. I know a lot of things about you. I know you can easily break those chains and kill me so easily, but you won’t. Because you and I both know that I am the key to her staying alive. I am the only one who can seize the army coming after her. You broke the law when you left Italy to search for her. You promised my family that you and I will get married, Trent, but instead you left! You and I were supposed to rule!”
I tore my eyes off of Trent’s beautiful face to look at her. My eyes were wide, but not with surprise, but with understanding when I saw that her eyes were black, too.
“I’ll kill everyone in that army and you know I can, Caroline. I don’t need much help.”
She laughed. “Actually you do. You’re weak. You haven’t been on your regular diet since you started having those dreams,” Her eyes turned sad. “I’ve been looking for you for eighteen years, Trent. I miss you.” She said the words sweetly.
Trent shook his head. “If you missed me, you would understand that I have to be with her. That she and I are meant to be,” Caroline’s eyes hardened. “I love Faith, not you. And I’m sorry I can’t give you what you want.”
My heart was beating fast, super fast. Everything was happening quickly. Did he just say he loved me? He loves me over her? He barely even knows me . . . and he loves me? All of this didn’t make sense. One thing that didn’t make sense was that she has been searching for him for eighteen years. Trent was only five when he promised he would marry Caroline. How could that be? And Trent said he was from Australia, not Italy. Something was seriously wrong here. But I couldn’t really process much of that because my heart was a bit mushy from Trent’s confession.
“You love her?” Caroline yelled. Did they even know I was here?
“Yes, and I will do absolutely everything for her. Right now, our relationship is rocky . . . because of you!” His voice was ten times louder than Caroline’s and I had a feeling it could get louder. When he spoke again, he looked directly right at me. My heart nearly stopped.
“But, I love her more than ever. Soon she’ll realize it. I will never do anything intentionally to hurt her. And if I did her hurt her, she will know that I’m sorry.” He tore his gaze away from me, leaving me breathless. He looked at Caroline again.
“And you’re right, I can break these chains.” He said before he pulled his arms forwards and the chain broke easily. Then, I blacked out. Sleepover

A MONTH later, I still remember that dream. It was so real and I swear it really happened, but I had woken up in sweat in my bed. It turned out that, I had passed out in Leo’s car and he drove me home where my mom called a doctor to come over and check up on me. By the time he got there, I wasn’t sick anymore. I wasn’t light headed nor did my stomach hurt. It was almost as if I was never sick at all.
That was fine with me, because I never felt so bad in my life. I was glad it passed and I didn’t have t spend anymore nights hanging over the toilet.
I haven’t seen Trent ever since that day of the pep rally. Rumor has it that he quit, but the substitute reassures us that he will be back soon. When we ask him where he went he would reply that he has a very sick mother. When we ask what illness she has, his reply would be a very bad one. At first, I missed Trent like hell and I still do. But . . . I made up with Kyle. He apologized and we started dating again. Everything is back to normal again, though Kaitlyn and Brittney seemed to still try and get me kicked off the team. I knew that for a fact because every time I was near them, they would smile and giggle to their selves. Well, whatever they had planned, I was certain I could take it with my friends by my side.
I was getting dressed into some PJs because Jamie, Leo, and Kyle were coming over for a sleepover. This was going to be Jamie’s first time meeting my parents, so she was excited about that. This was going to be Kyle’s first time sleeping over. My parents said they trust us and especially since Leo would be here and he would protect me if Kyle had any naughty ideas in mind. But, I trusted Kyle and highly doubted that he would try anything.
It was around nine o’ clock when the doorbell rung. I hopped up from my bed, excited. I walked out my room in a red and black, huge Nosferatu shirt with a black fuzzy bottom. I had on fuzzy black slippers that I probably had since I was twelve. My hair was thrown up in a messy bun and I had silver knobs in my ears. I felt comfortable in my PJs.
I opened the door with a huge smile on my face. Jamie was clutching a huge Hello Kitty pillow and her smile was stretched from ear to ear. She was wearing a huge pink shirt with black tights underneath. She was wearing pink and white bed slippers that matched her outfit. She squealed and threw her arms around me. I laughed and wrapped my arm around her body.
“Hey, Jamie!” I said enthusiastically. She pulled back and looked around my house.
“Oh my gosh! I can’t believe that I’m actually here! I’m like, your official friend now!”
I shook my head with a smile. “You’ve always been my ‘official’ friend.” I informed her. She laughed before she stepped all the way in the house and disappeared into the living room.
I turned back around and saw Leo, holding a black bag in jeans and a T-shirt. I smiled and hugged my best friend.
“Hey, Leo.” I said and kissed his cheek. He smiled.
“Hey, Fay! It’s about time I enjoy a sleepover with you!”
I nodded and laughed. “I guess. Uh, maybe you want to get Jamie before she ends up breaking something.” I pointed.
