CHAPTER 07

It's already been a month. From the beginning, I adapted to Neverland day by day. First days felt awkward, because everything was just like fairy tales or fantasy movies I have watched. I spend more time with Zane now, just as friends. Not just friends but best friends. I talked with his friends Harrison, Ned, Luke and Lloyd too. Among them Ned who has light blonde hair is the sweetest and the funniest all the time. Not to forget, I got a chance to visit the palace too. Zane introduced me to his dad, the king. The very first time when I met King, he was totally gasped. I think because his daughter-in-law looked like me. But I didn't talk with him much because I don't want to be Eleazar, I wanna live my life the way I love always.

Ethan taught me how to control my abilities and also how to use them. It wasn't the plan to teach me from the beginning. But, the second day when I walked into the school, I heard so many voices in my mind which made me faint, since I didn't have control in reading minds. Therefore, after all Ethan trained me well enough He taught me how to block my thoughts from others. He was always happy to teach me many things as I'm a fast learner. Apart from sorcery, he taught me how to fight with swords and also archery, from defending to attacking. I felt so excited since this is another level of my imagination which became true. Anyone who watches those fantasy stories would think if I could do those types of things, fighting and all. Isn't it?

I was searching for literature books in the locker after my Geography period.

"Hello Ellie!!!!!" Zane whispered to my ears startling me. I turned around to see him.

"Hey, we have English Literature, right?" I said while continuing what I was doing.

"Yes, so did you do the homework?" He is now closer and closer. He placed one hand on the locker behind me and it was uncomfortable to me and made my cheeks red. Oh hell no!!! I never want to fall for him.

"Yes mister, can you take off your hand so we can go to the lecture hall please" I rolled my eyes.

"Of course, madam, you know I like when you act like this little flower" He smiled.

"Shut up shithead!!!!!" I said. But he laughed. I really hate that name. I took out the book before walking with him.

Again I met him at lunch with his friends and talked a lot about anything that comes to our mind. Family things, controlling my abilities, learning fighting, vampires and werewolves plus demons too. I felt like something inside me was changing. Whenever I look into his eyes, I get lost. I really feel like I'm crushing on him. But at the same time I'm really scared. Because, I know this will not end well.

After lunch we had two more classes, then the school was wound up. I went out with him, since last period was Music which both of us were together in the class. On our way out, Zane was caught at the corridor by Harrison to talk. So, I came to the road to walk home alone. After I had walked a few feet away from school, I heard someone stepping behind me. But there was no one when I turned around. I continue walking; Then again, I heard it. I wanted to see who's messing with me. With my blue glowing hand, I turned around and just tied someone's neck from feet away from only moving my arms without seeing the person.

"Wha--" I stopped at the middle of the sentence seeing Zane is the one who's caught. I released off the power in my hand.

"Why the hell you can't call me man?" I asked.

"Just wanted to make you frightened. But, it went bad. You may kill me" He approached me, rubbing his neck. I saw the marks of my fingers already plastered on his neck even though I didn't touch him physically.

"Oh, I'm really sorry" I was upset since I never wanted to hurt him. I place my hand on his neck just to rub and make comfort. Suddenly, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer. Our eyes met making me numb. My heart beat was not normal as he was leaning to me. I just stared directly into his eyes. I felt his nose on my cheek. Oh no!!!!!!!!!! This is too fast and I'm already feeling crazy. He pressed his lips against mine passionately. I kissed him back, putting my arms around his neck, but I don't know why the hell I did it. I guessed we were kissing for a minute or two and our lips parted to get the air. Avoiding his eyes I kept my eyes on the ground.

"I gotta go, catch you later" I stated and turned around quickly to walk away as fast as I could.

"Bye sweetheart!!!!" he yelled, but I didn't want to turn around. Now, I'm feeling like my head's spinning around

As I got home Ethan was watching TV. Without interrupting I made my way to my room.

"Hey, why do you look like a pink doll, Ellie?" He mocked like he knew something.

"Oh shut up Ethan, I'll kill you" I retorted as he laughed again like he knows what happened. I ran to my bedroom and shut my door.

Do I really love him? Actually, why couldn't I refuse him?

I went to the bathroom to take a shower. After shower, I looked at myself through the mirror remembering what had just happened last hour.

"I think I love him" I sighed.

But, it's too fast to move on from Brian. Okay, that dickhead!!! I don't want him anymore. I think I should step into my new life without his memories. I want to live the way I love. Maybe moving on will help me to have no more hard feelings.

After getting into some comfy clothes, I headed to the downstairs to join Ethan.
