Love Quest Into The Void

Ana is a 20 year old college student. Her only comfort from the monotonous life is books. Her mundane life dramatically changes when she meets Ethan, who is from a very different world from hers and has come to earth in search of a mate. Despite Ana’s indifference towards him, he saves her from several tribulations and inevitably falls for her peculiar persona. Only after she confesses her love for him and accepts to be one of them, does she know who she really is. As the truth is unveiled, will she forgive the great injustice done to her? Will the revelations drive her to turn her back on her true love? Will she embrace her true identity and protect others from ending up a victim for the same fate as hers? EXTRACT I opened my eyes to see two grey oceans staring right at me. They shimmered reflecting the sun rays that stole glances of us bundled together under the same mattress. I did not panic this time, I dint move away either, I couldn't,cause I dint want to. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't resist my heart that was running a marathon to catch up with his. We were lying on our sides. My was head comfortably pillowed on his right arm. He was too close that his sweet breath assaulted my senses and muddled my thoughts. My eyes quickly fell on my my right hand tightly fisted around his shirt color. Blood flooded my cheeks. I wonder how long I have been holding him as a prisoner. I slowly pried my hands open. "Sorry" I murmured. I watched as my hand tried to unruffle the creases on his shirt. He gently relieved my neck from the lock of hair which has managed to wrap itself around my neck, his fingertips left goosebumps on its wake. His eyes never flickered away from me, never failing to pin me down with their intensity."Good Morning" I whispered. His sweet breath faltered. I placed my palm right over his heart, and felt his heart flutter like a hummingbird under my warmth."No one should look so beautiful, it's so unfair to my heart" he whispered. I gasped.
