“Sorry?” Momus and I questioned in unison. But to my surprise, Momus’ expression was as if he’d seen a ghost, he looked horrified. His angular nose wrinkled like a creased paper and his lips twisted into a frown. I snapped my fingers in front of his face.
“Umm… Nothing that concerns you Silver, he just was amazed to see such white hair as your. And of course your beauty.” He chuckled nervously. Morpheus was still staring at me intently. It was almost impossible to pull out from his gaze.
No way I was buying that. I opened my mouth to revolt but he cut me, “Weren’t you er… looking for you sister?” Momus said again. And my senses came back to life. Fu¢k! Yuri.
“Yes!” I excalimed and started walking past them once again. Their voices melted with air as I took each step away. The intensity of sunlight was lowering now and the temperature began decreasing. Goosebumps rose on my spine as a breeze of chilling air brushed my face.
My way was blocked by another intruder. His back was to me. He wore a silk robe portraying the dress right out of any Shakespearean play. His long grey tresses reached till his neck. My fist clenched. I tried passing him but he shifted to the right.
Fu¢k!
“What's wrong!” I yelled. I saw his cheek lift up a little. He turned to face me. His sun-kissed skin was glowing while the brown eyes stared at me in amusement. I finally noticed the sick smirk on his face. My anger raged.
“Allow me a proper introduction my lady.” He said in a rich european accent bowing his head.
“Listen you idiot, I got more important business than your drama.” I pushed him aside and started moving my feet but as soon as I did, he grabbed my wrist and swirled me around. The next moment, my back was pressed with his chest. I tried to break free through the cuffs of his arms but he won’t leave.
“Let me go, you jerk!” I shout. He ignored my revolt and sniffed in my hair. A feeling of nausea filled my chest.
“My lady, you are divine.”
“Fu¢k you! Let me go!” I tried harder but he just wouldn’t leave. Gods!
His hand slid down my shoulder and waist causing more goosebumps to rise and making me want to vomit. His hand rested on my hips. I tried elbowing him but I was trapped so badly.
“Leave me!” I shrieked.
Suddenly his grip loosened. I turned around to find Momus pulling him. I wanted to use the time for running away but My arm was still in his grasp. Morpheus pulled apart his arm and as soon as he touched my skin, the similar electricity coursed, he pulled me away from them. I wanted to ask him what all was happening but his expression answered me more to keep shut. His raven hair flowed with the breeze as we marched away from Momus and the man.
“Silver!” A too familiar voice called. I didn’t spare a glance at the owner as I was gazing at Morpheus who was right now fuming. To my surprise, an anxiety had crawled its way to my chest, I did not find it right of him to be so uncomfortable, I wanted to embrace him and console him till the flames of anger washed away.
“I’ll keep her safe.” Sam spoke again. I was annoyed by the jerk once again but Morhpeus did not leave my arm.
“Morpheus?” I called. He stopped in his tracks. The creases on his forehead soothing into nothingness. Relief flooded me. He turned towards my side.
“Are you okay?” He questioned so warmly that it almost made me wish to cry. His brows were furrowed in worry and his yes radiated so much affection. Such love from this man who was burning with rage a second ago. Words caught up in my throat. I nodded in agreement.
“My lord,” Sam showed up from behind me and bowed to him. I was puzzled by this.
“How do I know you’ll keep her safe?” Morhpeus asked, not taking his eyes of mine.
"I have been sent only to serve the moon my lord.” This makes me jerk my head towards Sam. Samuel Wilson who had never left California as long as I had known was speaking a language totally alien to me.
Morpheus nodded. A hurt expression crossed his face. His grip on my wrist vanished and so did the evolving electricity my heart skipped a beat as grief overlapped it.
I did not wish to go away but Sam pulled me with him. Morpheus’ gaze followed me as I was being drawn by Sam.
“What’s happening!” I shrieked but he didn’t even flinch. I did not try to break his hold. He took me into a silent alley.
“Sam what’s happening? What did you say to him?”
He ignored my questions and started digging in his bag. Throwing out books and school stuff.
“Fu¢king hell Samuel! Tell me why did you pull me here and who was that man?”
He sighed in frustration and stood up from the ground. His expressions were earnest among all I had ever seen. Tears subconsciously filled my eyes, threatening to spill away.
His expressions softened.
“Silver, everything’s okay.” He said in a soothing tone and grabbed my shoulders. I stared at the ground as one tear rolled out my cold skin, leaving a hot trail behind.
“Nothing is fine Sam. First Yuri goes missing and now everything’s so-” I said between the sobs.
“Shh…” He embraced me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his waist. My heart ached for warmth. What was happening?
“Silver listen to me this once.” He patted my back. “We need to leave.”
I pulled away from the hug. “What!?”
“Silver please, I need you to be safe.”
“From whom?”
“I promise to explain everything but please listen to me now.” His expressions were literally broken. My heart felt heavy. I nodded in acceptance.
He knelt down again and stepped in a pair of strange golden sandals with white wings. He then stood up and slid an arm under my knees.
“Hey!”
“I only have one pair of sandals.”
“So what?”
He looked at me and smirked. It did not touch his eyes and as soon as I looked back at the sandals, we were no more on the ground.
═━━━━◈━━━━═ Hey Lunis! So how are you enjoying the book so far? I want to know guys, please. Yeah, so I had a rough time last night but my companions were the extremely lovely WP books. Guys...it hurts you know. And what hurts more is the fact that I can't put this into words for explaining. Since I can't explain, people just...leave. I don't get anyone to just hear me out. *sad sigh* I am so...dead.
