I really need to think of a title for this book idea!

Well here's another thought for you. I should post again either today or tomorrow. Which is very exciting if I do say so myself. Now I understand that these writings are rather scattered and very very rough but I know that when they get polished and are actually in a cohesive order things will be a bit smoother don't you think? Well that's what I think anyway! I hope you enjoy. And know that in the next day or two I will have my short story completely done (hopefully things cooperate for me) and I will post it here for you to enjoy. Of course it will need to be edited, but you should like it I think.

Anyway I digress here's the next little snippet of the current writing adventure that I'm working on. I hope you like it. These thoughts are coming sporadically but I know where they fit in with the book and everything. Let's hope things work out!

Enjoy!

I let out a frightened shriek and pressed myself against the ledge that we were standing on.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” I shouted, squeezing my eyes shut. “This isn’t happening! It can’t be happening!”

“What’s wrong Jenna?” Adam questioned, resting a hand on my shoulder. I opened one eye and glared in his direction.

“You honestly don’t understand what’s wrong with this situation?” I questioned in disbelief, “I mean it’s so normal to be a hundred feet off the ground standing on the ledge of ancient castle in who-knows-where with guards standing below you! Yes that’s perfectly normal!”

Adam surprised me by laughing, “Really Jenna that’s it? That’s all that’s bothering you? I thought you realized that when I said I was a traveler I meant that I travelled everywhere! I go from place to place and from one time to another. Why would this bother you! You love history remember?”

I shot him another glare. He only laughed harder. “I promise that nothing is going to happen to you. The guards won’t even have to see us!” He seemed so cheerful about it all. “Besides,” He continued, “It’s not like they are very good guards. I mean to do let this castle get destroyed in about three months anyway.”

I gaped at him. “What time period is this exactly?” I questioned quietly, forcing myself to focus on Adam’s face. I wasn’t about ready to look down again.

“I passed!” I shouted jubilantly as I launched myself into Adam’s arms. He merely chuckled.

“I told you you’d pass silly Jenna,” He laughed as he steadied me on the ground again. I merely grinned, trying to hide the embarrassment that I felt for what I had just done. He must think I’m a total flake now!

“Jenna?” Adam asked tentatively, noticing my expression. I blushed for being caught up in my thoughts.

“Sorry,” I tried to sound carefree, but it came out shy, “I, uh, was just thinking about the test. I’m so excited about it! It’s definitely going to be a great day!”

“I agree,” He remarked with a kind smile. We started walking towards the student’s center to get some lunch, “Perhaps we should celebrate this event?”

“Sounds splendid!” I remarked excitedly. Adam only laughed again and held the door for me. I walked through with my head held high.

My head was throbbing. That was the first thought that registered as I slowly came to. I couldn’t remember what had happened or why I suddenly had such a profound headache at the moment. I remembered heading to the library to get some studying done and then things got a little fuzzy. What had happened since then?

I tried to open my eyes, but hissed at the bright light above me and quickly shut them again. My head throbbed more forcefully. I groaned.

“Ahh so you’re awake now then Jenna,” Adam whispered, amused. I groaned again and tried to sit up. He merely pushed me back down. “I wouldn’t do that just yet. You took quite the spill.”

“What happened?” I murmured rubbing my temples. It did nothing to ease the pain, “I don’t remember what happened.”

“Really?” He sounded genuinely surprised by my comment, “Well after you went to the library, you were attacked.”

“What?!” I gasped and shot up again. My vision swam and I felt nauseated by the sudden movement, “How-I mean when-or rather what…?” there were too many questions to ask.

“Easy Jenna,” Adam scolded, easing me back down among the pillows, “You were attacked by three men. Men like me.” My eyes widened at the statement. Adam seemed furious about the whole ordeal.

“Oh,” was all I could think to say. How clever of you Jenna.

“How- how did they find me?” I managed after a few minutes of silence.

Adam was scowling at the wall, “They tracked you. You see once someone like me forms a connection with a normal human there is a connection built that can’t be broken. For instance your aura is a soft lavender color, very attractive by the way, while mine is cobalt. Since we have a connection, naturally a part of your aura has sort of rubbed off on me.” He trailed off, seeming pained by something.

“So let me get this straight,” I sat up slowly, “So my ‘aura’ rubbed off on you and now not only do you have a cobalt aura, but a lavender one as well?” He nodded.

“Well that’s interesting,” I replied. He only scowled.

“You are far to accepting of everything. Doesn’t anything ever bother you?” He questioned, furious by my response.

“Of course!” I retorted, “There are plenty of things that bother me, but you taking a piece of my aura with you isn’t one of them! I wouldn’t trade our friendship for anything. It’s one of the highlights of my life. And as for this nasty business with these not so friendly travelers, well I guess I’ll just have to deal with it. There isn’t anything we can do now. The damage has been done.”

Adam huffed in annoyance and sent me a staggering glare. A shiver ran down my spine.

“Don’t you see, Jenna,” He whispered, balling his hands into fists, “If it weren’t for me interfering in your life you wouldn’t have those scoundrels after you! It is entirely my fault for involving myself with a mortal!” Now he was ranting, “I should have been smarter and stayed away from you. You wouldn’t have to worry about watching your every move and being wary of strangers…”

“Just stop alright? You’re making my headache worse!” I was rubbing my temples to trying and ease the pounding. “I told you before I wouldn’t wish anything to be different about this. You are my friend end of story.”

“But-“

“No!” I shouted, “Enough! I don’t want to hear anymore about you being a mistake! You aren’t one so please stop with the self loathing. It’s starting to get on my nerves.”

“I heard him chuckle lightly, “Alright alright, I’ll ease up a little. At least until you are on your feet again. “

I smiled.

Adam encouraged me to get more rest, for which I was grateful. I easily slid back into sleep, and woke many hours later. Adam was sitting in the chair across from my bed, watching me quietly, a dark look in his emerald eyes. I watched him warily.
