I am Quayd Ryan...I have been searching for years from my soul mate; having lost her once I was not going to do it again. I lurk in the shadows of the rose garden of a castle in which I use to live. Who would have thought that she would find me; Hala Tramayne her name in this life. My soul mate came back as a writer and moved into our home from one of her other lives. Whether or not she likes it I am not going to lose her again, I have made that promise to myself, and I do not break my promises to anyone. I have not made her mine yet and I am ashamed of the way I was controlling her on our first meeting. However, it is too late to be the gentle man I know I can be; she would take one look at me and know that it was not a dream at all and that I am some kind of monster.
Moreover, there is no way for me to make her understand...not me, not my life, or that we are meant to be together. I only took a taste of her last night; to insure I will be able to find her if by accident I scare her away from here.
The moon is full again...The nights air cool and the dead roses as dead as always they are. I look up to her bedroom window...Hala is there I know even if I cannot see her. She is brushing out her shoulder length auburn hair; getting ready for bed. She caresses the love mark I left upon her neck...wondering what will become of her. I smile as I read her thoughts; her naughty little thoughts. Still thinking I must be coming from her imagination, and hoping to meet me again. This all pleases me very much, almost as much as I plan to please her.
