Chapter 01: Being Chose
She put the kettle on for tea and went to her bath to start running the water, but when she returned to the kitchen, the kettle was ... gone. She stared around the room in confusion. The kitchen was in pristine order and nothing out of place, except the kettle, of course. She thought back hoping somehow she had just forgotten about it, but no memories surfaced and she was jogged out of her thought by the clinking of china in the next room. She walked slowly towards the bathroom and turned the water off, hoping that this might alert the intruder to her presence and make him flee. She still heard the telltale clinking and decided she had to investigate.
She wrapped her robe closely around herself and grabbed the nearest metal utensil, which happened to be a meat tenderizer, she didn't really care. She walked slowly towards the next room, fear making her chilled skin color. She looked in and sitting on her sofa pouring himself a cup of tea was the most attractive man she had ever seen. His hair was long and a perfect golden blond, his face angular and pale. He looked boyish yet remarkably succulent...like a male sex kitten. His eyes said please me, and his lips said kiss me, and for a moment she forgot he was a strange man intruding on her solitude and considered doing both. And then he spoke.
"I do apologize for popping in unannounced. I found myself on your doorstep and couldn't stop myself from coming in for a cup." He looked up at her and smiled, his teeth brilliant white and oddly sharp. She shivered a bit, more because of the feelings those lips inspired in her than any real fear.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" she said, her voice cracking in irritation and surprise. He looked up, his brilliant blue eyes making her knees wobble a bit.
"I'm Leo, I'm just here for a cup of tea and a nice chat, come join me? Please, I promise I won't bite, unless you ask."
She stared at him in shock, her hair falling dark over her shoulder as she shook her head, trying to clear it. He couldn't have been much older than she was, no more than twenty four, she would have guessed, but he spoke very proper as though he were raised to respect. For some reason this calmed her. She stepped forward and sat down across from him, taking the cup of tea he offered without a thought.
"So, Angela, how are you this fine night? I really am sorry for giving you a scare, I just needed a cup of tea." He smiled in a reassuring way that was somehow creepier than his presence in the room. She nodded silently, trying to clear her head of the stupor she found there.
It almost seemed she couldn't think properly, as if his very presence was a drug and she was under its effects. She didn't really mind. Something in her was begging to be let free, to defy the proper girl mold she was raised in and to break out. She wasn't sure what it would look like if it escaped, but she had an odd feeling it wouldn't wear much clothing. Once again her thoughts seemed muddled. She wanted to touch him, to kiss him and to feel his hands on her body. Yet she knew it was a bad idea. She had lived her whole life without a man's touch. She had decided she would not defile herself in that way, for to need a man's touch was to need someone else telling you what you were worth. She suddenly felt the urge to reply, heat bubbling up deep inside. And when the words came out she really wasn't sure who was talking, it was as if she were possessed.
