Chapter 14 (A whole new world.)

I realize that it may be rude to stare but I can’t help but gaze into Kai’s smoky grey eyes. I’m intrigued by their unique shade of pure grey that’s unmatched by any eye color I have ever seen. Moving to get a closer look I can see that there are specks of a blue so light and barely noticeable that it gives his eyes a sparkling reflective quality. Not realizing how intimately close we are; I feel his exhaling breath hit my exposed neck leaving goose bumps in its wake. Warmth spreads through my cheeks and I look down awkwardly knowing that I’ve crossed into his personal space. As if sensing my embarrassment, he gently guides my head back up with his index finger until our eyes are level once again. His eyes have changed and this time I can see churning black-bellied storm clouds in his eyes. Shivers run up my spine for what once was beautiful and intriguing is now mysterious and full of danger. I try to turn my head away afraid of what more I would see but he still has a hold of me forcing me to look into his eyes. Closing my eyes, I hope that he will get the hint and let me go. My breath hitches when I open them a second later to see pitch black eyes of pure evil staring back at me. The whites are gone and all I see is the empty darkness of an evil soul! Terror rips through me as I open my mouth and let out a gut-wrenching scream…

That’s when I awake shooting up like a rocket from underneath the thin blanket that covers me. Gasping for breath I furiously blink my eyes trying to focus. Was that all a dream? Kai is at my side immediately. His face is contorted with worry and concern. My whole body is shaking so uncontrollably that Kai pulls me into him. I feel the same electric current that ran through us the last time we touched. It feels strangely magnetic and comforting. I’m stunned by how difficult it is to pull away from him but determination drives me with the need to see his eyes. Relief washes over me when I see that they are a pure placid grey with no hint of evil. I exhale a shaky breath with the confirmation that it was just a dream. That’s when it hits me, all of the events that occurred earlier in the night. That was no dream. The shaking wracks my body once again and I reach my hand up to my face to realize that my cheeks are soaked. I’m quietly sobbing and when Kai pulls me into his arms this time, I don’t try to pull away. I can allow the current that runs between us to warm me. I can allow myself to feel safe, even if for only a moment.

When my body is finally drained and I’m too exhausted to cry any more, Kai gently guides me to lie back down in the cot.
