Chapter 28 : With the Stars

Dante's POV

It's getting dark. A light purple spreads across the sky, meaning it's dusk. Travis and Laurence got back awhile ago, we're just waiting for Y/N and Aaron. The campfire is set up and ablaze. We're all sitting on the ground around it making small talk. It's not much, but it keeps the atmosphere light and happy.
"Okay. Be honest with me here. Who wants a shot with Y/N?" We all turn to Travis and raise our hands. I raise mine as well. He looks at all of us and frowns, also raising his hand.
"That was easy. Next." Laurence says, chuckling. Travis crosses his arms and looks to me. We had all put our hands down by this point.

All our heads whip around to the sounds of thudding echoing through the woods. Was it Y/N and Aaron? I hover my hand over my sword and look through the now dark brush. Another thud echoes. We hear footsteps. I turn and crouch, Laurence does too, along with Dante, Travis just stays where he is. I can make out two dark figures, maybe a third behind them. I take out my sword and hold it in front of me, Laurence and Dante following along. I let down my guard when I see who it is.
"I hope those swords are for cutting these apples." The others let down their guards and put their swords back when they hear her. They're back, with a F/C sack filled with something. Apples I guess. Her eyes sparkle through the dark, they have a F/C tint to them. Aaron is carrying the bag. She takes the bag from him, thanking him, and plops it a few feet away from the fire, in front of us.
"We also found some bananas, so dig in." She says with an accomplished smile. Laurence reaches for the bag and chucks everyone either an apple or banana. Y/N comes and sits down next to me, while Aaron sits next to Travis. We all thank her and start eating.

Your POV

We had all finished eating a while ago. While we talked, the fire crackled and spat. I was staring intently at it, focused on the irregular pattern and waves of heat coming from it.
"Y/N?" I snap back to Laurence waving his hand in front of my face. I blink a few times.
"Sorry, I zoned out... What's up?" I say sheepishly. I turn to see him chuckling at me.
"Travis asked a question." He points to Travis, who sat in between Dante and Garroth on the grass. I look at Travis.
"What's that?" He grins.
"Well, I was wondering if you made the songs you sang." I pause. Wasn't expecting that.
"It's because I didn't write them. I memorized songs that a group of people sang every weekend in V/N when I was younger." He nods.
"Could you sing one?" I shrug.
"Sure." Everyone smiles at this. I sit myself cross legged and bring my hands in front of me. My finger tips start to glow F/C, a light F/C glow starts to reach my eyes, blocking out my natural E/C. Particles start to rise off my fingertips and start to form a circle, made up of the tiny hexagons. It's flashes brightly for a second when it's done forming. I take a deep breathe and music starts to play.

{Play the song}

Come to me
In the night hours
I will wait for you
And I can't sleep
'Cause thoughts devour
Thoughts of you consume

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you

Stay with me a little longer
I will wait for you
Shadows creep
And want grows stronger
Deeper than the truth

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you

I can't help but be wrong in the dark
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
I can't help but want oceans to part
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts

I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you

I can't help but be wrong in the dark
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
I can't help but want oceans to part
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Guys' POV

Was that for me?

Your POV

I had my eyes closed for that last bit. I open them to immediately blush. They were all staring at me. I slowly make the circle fade out. I feel my eyes go back to their natural color, my hands falling to the grass. I smile sheepishly.
"That was amazing." Dante beams.
"Yeah babe, really nice." Travis winks.
"I-It was beautiful." Garroth says shyly.
"It was perfect." Aaron mumbles.
"Nice stuff beautiful." Laurence says grinning. I smiles and scratch the back of my neck.
"Aww, you guys are too nice."

{One hour later}

We were getting ready to sleep. I was sitting against a tree watching the others find a spot. Travis was lying in a patch of grass, Dante was still standing, Aaron had gone to a distant tree, Garroth was sitting next to the slowly fading fire and Laurence was standing. We had given ourselves shifts in case something tried to attack us. Laurence had the first shift, then Aaron, Travis, Dante, Garroth and finally me. We're leaving a little after dawn. The stars were shining bright, the moon paving the sky in a white tint. They really look beautiful. Imagine what a star would look like up close? That would be so cool.
"Hey, you mind?" I look to see a flash of blue sit next to me, Dante smiled when he snuggled up next to me. I smile back and notice the guys' glares directly at him. He didn't seem fazed though. He wraps an arm around me and I immediately feel drowsy. I blink a few times, trying to evade sleep but I give in. I put my head on Dante's shoulder and fall asleep. I hear a distant good night right before I fall asleep.
