The ice cold water connected with her back sending a gasp out of her mouth, the water filled her lungs as her heart beats faster then fast then slow and as it had begun it stopped
Her eyes were open, looking into the sun that had started fading and being consumed by the dark blueness
She had stopped sinking as her back touched the sandy ground of the sea
A tear had releases itself only to be washed away by the sea
When a boyish figure had come into sight
He's hand wrapped around her waist as the other cupped her cheek
She had felt herself being pulled off the ground as he's face had came closer sweeping her off the sandy ground of the ocean
An ocean so deep not even Ophelia could get out, no one could get out
Yet there the boy was, hugging her close to his body as they floated back to the surface
Even with the icy water that surrounded them, the heat that radiated from the boy had made Ophelia cuddle closer to the comfort of his neck
As black dots had started clouding her vision, they broke through the surface of the ocean
The boy laid Ophelia down gently of the ground
"Are you okay?"the boy asked Ophelia who had been staring at the sky with pure terror in her eyes
"What just happened?"Ophelia finally spoke after a few moments
"Yster"
Ophelia sat up as she watched the boy start collecting sticks and pebbles
It had been years when she had seen-
"If you helped it would go quicker"the boy interrupted Ophelia's thoughts
Ophelia stood up and joined the boy through the forest
"I don't know your name"Ophelia finally spoke picking two twigs up
She walked towards a tree and snapped it's branch off, smiling with satisfaction
"You never asked" the boy said kicking the stone a bit too hard
"Well I am now aren't i?"
"I guess you are"
Ophelia smiled at him and nudged his shoulder
"Aries"
Ophelia stared at him the minute he mentioned his name
"Aries?"She silently muttered "My mother told me a story about a boy named Aries"she spoke out loud picking a pebble up
"What was this story about?"Aries asked
"Love and Regret" She muttered staring at the sea of clouds
As they got back to camp Aries started a fire
"How come so?" He asked looking her
She sighed and pushed a lock of hair behind her ear
"They fell in love, Made love, Lost love" She said looking back at him "And she left, leaving her heart and child with the boy, only to regret ever wanting to leave the minute the portal closed"
"Why?" Aries asked again
"You ask too many questions"Ophelia said with a giggle
Her smile
It was the only thing Aries had been looking at
The way her face lights up, or how deep her dimples are, or many the tiny bit of hope that shone itself in her eyes
