Another Post to follow yesterday's idea!

Here's another post about what I was writing yesterday. I changed the name of the girl, but not the idea really. I kind of like this story a lot so far and am anxious to continue to write!

This charade had to end sometime. He had to know that I knew something was very different about him.

“You know you can’t really fool me Adam,” I remarked casually, before he got too far down the lane.

Adam froze and slowly turned to face me, his emerald eyes hooded with a dark look. He stiffly walked back to my side and grabbed my elbow rather tightly, leading me to a more secluded spot.

“What do you know of anything?” he hissed as he shoved me lightly onto a park bench. I continued on, unruffled by his behavior

“You couldn’t possibly be anything human,” I stated, still casual. His eyes widened at my comment.

“What do you mean?”

“Well,” I started, faltering slightly. Should I tell him it was just a feeling I had or that it was just a hunch? What proof did I have against him? “It’s hard to explain really. It’s just the feeling I get I suppose. You-you just seem to appear out of nowhere. You know all the answers to questions. You never seem to get hurt or tired, or-or anything! It’s like you don’t belong here.” I said the last part quietly. He didn’t belong here. Especially with someone like me.

“Suppose you’re right Jenna,” he remarked quietly an edge in his husky voice, “Suppose I’m not human. Would that really change anything?”

“Well no Adam it wouldn’t.”

“It should though!” he remarked heatedly, “It should change everything. You should be running from me, screaming for help. And yet you sit here as though nothing is out of the ordinary.”

“I just want to know the truth.”

He laughed mirthlessly, “The truth? That’s all you want is the truth? Believe me Jenna it would be far better if you didn’t know the truth. It’s already a dangerous situation for you now.”

“Why?” I asked puzzled. He was talking in circles and it was maddening, “Why is it dangerous? Why can’t I know the truth?”

Adam leapt to his feet enraged, “Don’t you care for your safety?! You’d subjected to worst kind of degradation imaginable and you still want to know the truth? Believe me if you knew the truth, you’d refuse to be in my life.” He looked pained, “Perhaps that is how it should be however.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” I retorted fiercely, “you can’t scare me away with some idle threat.”

“Oh believe me Jenna it isn’t an idle threat. It’s a promise. They’ll find you wherever you are and then they’ll …” He trailed off as a shudder wracked my body. He didn’t need to finish. My imagination could fill in the blanks.

“Alright Adam,” I conceded quietly, fiddling with the strap of my backpack. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, but please know that you can trust me.”

He smiled weakly as he sat next to me, “I know that Jenna. I’ve known that for awhile now.”

The man grabbed my wrists roughly giving me a wicked smile, his putrid breath flooding my nostrils.

“Let me go!” I shriek tugging at his unusually firm grip, “Leave me alone!”

“Ah ah ah dear Jenna,” He retorted clicking his tongue tightening his grip, I hissed in pain. “Darius would be very displeased if I didn’t follow through with his request. You see you’ve caught his fancy and he’d like very much to meet you. Especially since you are so close to Adam. Yes, he’s very interested in you.”

“Get away from her!” Adam’s roar rang across the courtyard. He was sprinting towards me and the hooded man. The man merely laughed at the remark and yanked tighter on my wrists. I let out a yelp of pain.

“Sorry Adam I don’t believe that will be happening anytime soon.” He chuckled lightly.

A loud ringing erupted in my ears and the image around me seemed to shake. Adam had stopped a few feet in front of us and stood watching in horror. Then things started to get fuzzy and the ringing became louder. I closed my eyes to block out the picture.

“Don’t worry Jenna,” The man whispered in my ear, “This is what Adam experiences all the time.”

My heart plummeted in to my stomach at his words. We were time travelling. And Adam had no way of knowing where I would be.
