?? DARK KNIGHT ??
( Destined To Meet )
By Noel Innocent
Chapter Nine:
Ares
Stepping into the boat I sit still and stare at the cat toy in my hands, a gift huh, no body has ever given me a gift before nor have anybody yell at me not to throw it away ” are you holding a toy??” Xar asked looking surprise and I have to say am surprise myself
I still couldn’t believe I was the one doing all that in that park, lifting the toy I try dropping it in the water but Zoe happy face replayed in my head followed by her warning ” shit ” dropping the toy on my lap I lazily place my head in my hands closing my eyes
” I don’t believe this” Zar voice echo ” am tempted to kill that little mouse for changing you this…..” My gaze met his and I could see fear grip him immediately, I never glare at any of them but what he said triggered something in me
Zoe being hurt is not something I want to happen, even knowing that she is a descendants, she is prone to be hurt and badly but maybe the kis-s of blindness will hide that tattoo for awhile
Zar rise his hands up, something he always do to calm me down ” dude, I was joking, I will never hurt your pet. Am just worried that you’re forgetting about your health” averting my gaze from his I run my hands throu-ghmy hair, since I met Zoe I haven’t tasted fresh blood and it is having a toil on me
” I will be fine ” I said not caring how harsh I sound or how impatient I am that this boat can’t speed further to get done with this work of mine and head back
My mind moves back to Zoe, she called where I stay home, just that word made me think for awhile, I never regard it as home just like Evelin always said ‘ you don’t have a home just like how you were never meant to be born into this world ‘
Closing my eyes I exhale, she is right but Zoe keeps saying things that makes me wonder, staying close to me will only put her in trouble and once her identity is revealed it won’t be a good thing
Zoe
” and they lived happily ever after ” I grin widely and stare at the twins ” how’s that, am I getting good ” Marston shook his head
” your story telling su-cks Zoe” Martin said sitting up but a smile remain there ” we missed you so much Zoe, come back home” I was surprise when martin of all hug-ged me, Marston is normally the emotional one ” Marston keep disturbing me to play when I want to study if you’re here he will disturb you instead ”
I see where this boy is going
Holding his cheek with my both hands I giggle and draw at them playful ” you little mouse ” the moment the words left my mouth my heart ache a little, this happen to be the second day and I miss badly already, where is he. What’s happening to him, is he alright
” am not a mouse Zoe ” martin yell shoving my hands off and I giggle while Marston jump on him ” you’re more like a smelling rat ” Marston grin widely and it martin turn to jump and bounce on him
I watch them fight, I know I should separate them but I have my own problems to deal with ” good night guys ” standing up I head to my room, mum and dad room light already off to signify that they are sleeping
Opening my room door I sit on the bed and hug my knee to my body, I really do miss him, even in cla-ss all I can think about is his smiles, his laughter, his Nau-ghty words and the way he bite his li-ps
I cover my face, why can’t I get him off my mind, I just hope he doesn’t get tired that he needs another pet because I don’t think I can live without him anymore
Laying down I exhale, tomorrow making it the last day, Charles did say am expected to come back to Ares house tomorrow and I get to see him finally, this time I will make sure I don’t stay five minutes without touching him
The moment my head touch my pillow I fell asleep
…..
“I don’t believe you Zoe, he looks so scary ” may grumble while we hold our tray of food to our table to eat ” he looks handsome but still scary ”
” he isn’t scary when you get to know him may ” I find my self feeling angry about what she is saying ” he is just different ”
” if you say so Zoe ” taking our sit I stare at may closely ” what’s my hair colour may ” I asked, my curiosity making the better of me but I did to know, I didn’t put on any wig to school today
” black of course, why are you asking ” she stare at me like am going insane and I only smile, maybe Ares truly is a wizard
” is nothing may” I muttered ” come to think of it, why do you keep arguing with Zar ” I watch her face goes red and she quickly bite the cheesecake on her plate ” he has blue hair Right” I asked and she nod
” he is annoying okay, I just had it with him ” may mumble” he even tried taking a child lolli-pop, that’s insane and then he….’m” I watch may face turn completely red as she swallow
” he what??” I asked, the suspense killing me, I need to know what the quiet Zar did to may
” he…he…he bit my ne-ck ” she muttered, that wasn’t what I was expecting, I knew they is know to that story ” you won’t un-derstand Zoe…. I felt his hands around my wai-st and his tongue circling an exact sp-ot on my ne-ck like he plans on eating me later ” may doesn’t usually look this flush while talking about guys she let touch her but with Zar, she looks like a Vir-gin
” I thought you said, be careful of people with colour hair ”
” I am but that Zar was the same guy that kidnapped from the ball party, almost killing me ”
Shaking my head I chuckle at her ” forget about him may, they are other fish in the sea” may gaze met mine
” maybe” meeting my gaze again we both chuckle and went back to finishing our meal
…..
Running I glance at my wrist watch, its already seven, am late but thankfully Ares won’t be back by now. Shit I forget about this damn rule and went shopping with may
Stopping right in front of the house I exhale, Ares shouldn’t be back yet, I pray he isn’t, I don’t want to get punished over nothing
Opening the door a cold air swirl round my body and I swallowed hard, my gaze travel to the couch close to the fire, Ares sit there, his gaze watching me ” you’re late ”
Crab, shit, fu-ck.
Stepping in I close the door, swallow again and head towards his direction, standing right in front of me I wonder what happen to him, his eyes doesn’t usually look this cold when starring at me
And he doesn’t smoke, I haven’t seen him smoke before. The cigarette place in his mouth looked a little huge and I watch him inhale before exhaling ” am sorry ” I muttered but he didn’t grin nor frown
I couldn’t read any meaning to that look on his face, cold shiver run throu-ghmy spines, I hate seeing him this way ” are you scared Zoe” he is calling me Zoe not little mouse
” no” I said but his face didn’t change, he stayed still for awhile before standing his feet and blowing the air to my face, I tried acting cool, try not to cough but I failed” what happen Ares….why are you like this ” tears drop from my eyes as I meet his gaze ” why are you trying to scare me away from you” I sniff ” what did I do wrong ”
” rules are rules Zoe ” I shake my head, my tears flowing freely now ” my name isn’t Zoe, its little mouse not Zoe ” I was yelling and crying
Ares run his hands throu-ghhis hair take off the cigarette and look elsewhere, I could see his hands trembling and when his gaze met mine I was sure my Ares was back, wrapping my hands around his ne-ck I pull him down and kis-s his li-ps, just like the way he did to me, he didn’t respond at first, he stood shocked and let me do the kis-sing and the moment he respond his hands went to my wai-st and draw me closer to his body
I felt him open his mouth, waiting, I had no idea what to do next so I follow instinct and dive my tongue to meet his, he groa-n in the mouth before taking full control, I was running out of breath but I don’t want the kis-s to stop either, he taste like cigarette and something else I couldn’t get
Breaking the kis-s I still couldn’t read his expression ” my little mouse seem to be ripping huh ” he grin before cleaning the tears off my face ” don’t cry anymore okay ” more tears flow down the moment he ask I should stop crying ” if you don’t stop I will punish you little mouse ”
Cleaning my tears I sniff” you aren’t angry anymore ” I asked still sniffing
” I wasn’t angry little mouse ” I notice his face has gone pale over the past days ” go to bed” shaking my head I hug him ti-ght
” I missed you, stay with me for a while ” for some reason I thinks he hate hugs, he has gone stiff in my arms again ” please ” he exhale
” fine ” I am still wondering what happened to him during this past few days that he needed a cigarette and his hands trembling
