EVA'S POV
My head throbbed like hell as I tried to open my eyes. The bright sunlight streaming in from the window caused me to flinch. I shielded my eyes with my hand.
Someone drew the curtains and turned the lights on. I rubbed my eyes and tried to open them again.
When I finally managed to open my eyes I was pleasantly surprised to see Alex. The joy I felt was so intense that it hurt. I open
ALEX'S POVEva stuck to me the whole day like a koala. I found it very cute, but it was impertinent that I got out of here, else my surprise would be ruined. I wanted everything to be perfect.Finally, I had to message Melisa to come and get me out of Susie’s house. The moment Melisa and Athena arrived I sneaked out bef
EVA'S POVI felt that being in Alex’s arms in front of our mini Amor lake was the best thing that could happen in my life but I was wrong. There would be many more magical moments like this in my life.Alex took out a red ribbon and blindfolded me suddenly.“ Hey! What are you doing.” I muttered in protest.
ALEX's POV“Where have you been Alex? Mother Lily is waiting for you in the Common hall.” I heard Zarina’s sweet and shrill voice as soon as I got out of the study room.“ Mother Lily is here! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” I started walking towards the hall but Zarina’s comment stopped me in my tracks.“ Go get dressed first Alex. You are still in your pajamas.”“ Do I have to?” I said with a groan. I never understood all this ado about dressing up.“Of course not. I wouldn’t mind some excitement.”Zarina’s eyes shone with mischief as she said this. I loved her like my sister but she was known for being mischievous. It was best that I got dressed.I gathered my clothes and went to the common shower room for boys. It was nothing much. Just the type you would find in hostels. Two rows of cabins with no much furnishing apart from
EVA's POVI roamed around the forest glad that the silly humans kept out of the forest. So I could move about at my own pace without worrying about shocking someone. I finished running the perimeter of the forest in a few minutes.I wished that I could go further but Emily had strictly forbidden it.I sat there idly on the rock. Suddenly a tempting smell assaulted me. There was no doubt that it was a human being. What was a human doing in this forest? Did he not fear for his life?I had to ensure that he never came back to this forest again. I would have fun scaring him to death. I followed the trail and reached behind the human in moments. I intended to push him down but this human was more aware of his surroundings than I thought. He sensed my presence and turned around. I moved away before he could even turn fully but that is not the point.I let out a gasp when I saw his face. It was Audrey. How was that possible? He had died 500
ALEX's POVThe sweet twittering of the birds pulled me out of my deep slumber. I felt so cozy and serene. I sat up and stretched my arms. Taking my surroundings in, I realized that I was in my hostel room. Last night I was so tired that I couldn’t appreciate my room.The walls were newly painted unlike my room in the orphanage which had the same whitewash since the time I had come to live. The bed here was soft and cozy. I had a wardrobe all to myself but the irony was that my clothes didn’t even take up a shelf. The room even had a study table with a pre-set computer.How did I get so lucky?The room was undoubtedly grand as per my standards but I was more grateful for the peace and quiet the room offered. In the orphanage I slept with 20 other boys. The mornings were utter chaos with everyone trying to get ready. This was the reason I always stayed up at night and studied and slept at daybreak.Though I liked that it
ALEX's POV“ Come on Alex! Don’t be such a spoilsport. I am asking you to come with me and do mountain climbing. I am not asking you to murder someone.” Aaron pleaded.“ I have never done mountain climbing Aaron. Moreover I have assignments to do.” To be honest I was a bit scared of heights but I wasn’t going to admit that.“ Did you not tell me that you loved to look into the eye of the danger. Now don’t chicken out. Mom has gone for her weekend conference. She won’t be back until tomorrow morning. If I go home now my sisters would drive me crazy with their makeup and fashion talks.”“ What about my assignments?’“ Oh! Come on. You have 15 days to submit them, Alex. One day’s fun is not going to impair you.’We had been arguing like this for the past 30 minutes. Aaron was damn persistent. I knew he wouldn’t give up.So, rath
EVA's POVI had vowed to keep my distance from Alex but destiny seemed to have different plans. I was sitting near Audrey’s tomb when I sensed that someone was in danger. I usually ignore such sensations. I believe in letting human beings sort out their problems themselves.However this time the sensation was too strong. I decided to check it out. Following my instincts I reached Mt. Eros. I looked up to see what the danger was. I watched in horror as Alex hung precariously on the ropes. Then the ropes snapped and he fell.In the heat of the moment I rushed and caught him in my arms. I felt drunk on his tempting fragrance. I bent down to inhale deeply but right at that moment Alex opened his eyes. Realizing my folly I immediately set him on his foot and darted away. Thankfully Alex hadn’t seen my face. It would have been difficult to explain my presence to him.I stopped running only after I reached Dixonville. Eric and Emily
ALEX's POVI found it difficult to understand how someone could be so rude. I had just wanted to thank her.I was completely crushed and I felt my ears burn as I watched my savior get into the car without even blinking her eyes. She had no clue how her words had cut through my heart like a sword. My fantasy was shattered.I didn’t want to stand there even for a moment. I turned around to leave but accidentally stepped onto something hard. This made me stop dead in my tracks. Picking it up I realized that it was a mobile phone. I hit the home button hoping that it wasn’t broken. The screen lit up immediately and the name Eva Dixon flashed on the screen. I liked the name, Eva, short and sweet. My savior must have dropped it while getting into the car. I decided to go to her home and return her phone despite her arrogance. I couldn’t ignore the fact that she had saved me once.First, I had to find out where she li
