Untittled - Chapter 3

The man stood right beside me. his features appeared to be chiseled from stone. his long ebony hair tied back from his face. the clothes he wore seamed to be fit for a medi-evil themed movie, the type where the young man was really a forage prince. everything about him screamed old world, lord of some kind, but more then that feeling of danger radiated from him. but the danger wasn't directed at me. the man's crystal blue eyes made his face appear more harsh, yet they look into my eyes as if serching deep within my soul.1

I moved away from the stranger only an inch & he rushed forward quicker then my eyes could see. it was just a blur, one moment he stood over me the next he held a handkerchief to my chin where a bit of apple juiced had dripped without my notice.2

"who are you?" i ask in a whisper. his eyes watching my every move so carefully. it was only then i realized he was watching me possessively. panic starts to kick in & i move away from him inching off the bed till i slip. again he blurs from my focus & just before my bottom hits the ground he has me swept up in his arms. 3

laying me down on the bed, he sits beside me. "Forgive me for my rudeness i am Lucian." his clear voice held a hint of an accent. what was it? Canadian? what ever it is, it has me wanting to hear him speak for the rest of my life.4

"i am Shacadia, most call me Shay..." oh why on earth did i add that, i sound lyk an idiot, a child. my black eyes drifted subconsciously over the dress i'm wearing, it fit ever so perfectly. the blue complemented my hair & eyes. but the frills & ribbons made me again feel as in i'm stepping into a old worldly novel. looking to the table i noticed a hair brush, removing my hair tie my hand moved towards the brush but before i could move more then an inch his hand had placed brush into my own hand his fingers tingling my skin at his brief touch.5

"well then Lady Shay have been traveling for along time i see" he moved away from the bed perching on a chair across the room. i say perching as predator was radiating from him. his eyes now some what more possessive looking as my hair covered my breasts encased in this old dress. old dress it looks brand new yet doesn't seam to have ever have been worn. 6

at his words i feel offended. do i really look that bad? "how can you tell?" i withdrew a breath, looking around the room again. "why was my Cub locked away? did he hurt someone?"7

"Wolves are dangerous & unpredictable, i'm surprized you allowed yourself to be put in such danger." ok that's it now im offended. "Do you really trust this animal? If he causes you harm there will be no mercy for him"8

"Yes i trust Fang, his my pup..." why am i providing him explanations as if i have to tell him? Immediately he crosses the room and opens the cage containing the wolf cub. Fang runs over to me wagging his tail & giving me a once over sniff, licking my arm he sits down. i pet him then pulling him into my lap i cuddle him. Lucian's eyes appeared to change color, to a jealous red.9
