   story^w^
The next time she opened her eyes the room was dark. She could see the stars like twinkling diamonds outside the window and wondered if he’d really come back. Then she caught her emotions, shook her head and put her hate for him back into the picture.
“Good Evening, Madame.” a pinkish colored sprite gently floated in. She was carrying a tray of Elvin silver that glinted with the gentle light of the moon playing upon it. She set the tray down on the bedside table, curtsied, then flew away. Rayne sighed and reached for the food. The tray consisted of a thick, creamy soup and a glass of milk . As Rayne sipped the soup she smiled with delight. As she ate wonderful thoughts ran through her mind, sprinting lightly like the deer bounds across the forest. Lost in her fantasy she probably couldn’t have been brought out of it except with the loud Whack! That startled her.
“What the hell…!” She now set upright shaking in fear and twirling her blonde hair around her finger. She saw a shadow begin to rise up from the floor. She suddenly let out a shriek of terror and tried to get up and run but her bruises wouldn’t allow her.
“Jesus woman! What the hell was that screech for!?” Aiden’s familiar voice came from across the room and she could see his silhouette rubbing his head. His footsteps echoed in the empty room as he neared the bed. Rayne’s shivering increased so that even the bed was shaking. He kneeled down beside her bed, his black trench coat billowed out behind him. His auburn hair was misshapen as usual, but he was still gorgeous. He leaned in near her face but she quickly turned her head. He blew this off and talked so that she could feel his cold breath upon her neck. “ I promised I’d return for you.”
“ Why did you?” Rayne’s voice quivered.
“I promise…”
“But Why!?” Rayne cut him off. Her voice was now high pitched and hysteric.
“ Because we’re friends.” he stated plainly.
“Were. We were friends, but something changed. You scare me now.” Rayne’s voice had both tints of lies and truth with her last statement.
“So I care about you now. Is that such a problem?” Aiden folded his arms across his chest and leaned back in a chair. Rayne was still shaking and tears had begun to cascade down her rose colored cheeks. She shook her head no but continued to shake. Aiden sighed and crawled in the bed next to her. Taking the quivering girl in his arms he began to sooth her. “Rayne, stop shaking. You don’t need to have a seizure, that’d make your condition worse.” Aiden stoked her hair and her shaking slowly ceased. Rayne, by this point, had run out of energy and slowly drifted to sleep on Aiden’s shoulder. Aiden sighed as he looked upon this beautiful woman. “ Even if I am a Demon, you are my angel.” He spent the rest of the night stoking her hair and eventually drifting into a peaceful slumber.
