for my white tiger...
She awoke from a deep sleep, he was calling her again. This was a nightly occurence that she ignored... until tonight. This time she would go. It was time to find out exactly why he penetrated her mind every night, not allowing her to sleep peacefully. The dreams came every night that she heard him call, they consumed her. It was as if he made love to her mind everytime.
She threw her cloak over her nightgown and ran out the door. She didn't know where she was going, she just ran. Breathless and confused, she stopped. She was in a clearing in the woods. The voice had stopped calling her finally and she beagn to spin around in a circle, letting her head tip back so that her long dark hair flew around her.
What an amazing beauty, he thought to himself as he watched her from the shadows. He watched as she let her arms stretch out as she spun around. He smiled and took a step out into the moonlight. She never saw him approach, it was as if he appeared before her in an instant.
He grabbed her and drew her close, their eyes locking on each other. Her body immediately stiffened, becoming defensive as she tried to push away from him. She opened her mouth to scream. He only smiled and placed his finger to her lips. "Shh, Angel. You have no need to fear me, m'love. For you already know who I am."
He scooped her up in his arms and turned, taking a step back into the shadows. A rush of security came over her and she closed her eyes momentarily. When she opened them, they were inside a bedroom. The room was lit with dozens of candles all around, there was a faint whisper of vanilla on the air.
He lay her down on the huge bed. She felt a peace come over her and she was no longer afraid for she had been here before. In an instant, as she looked into his deep green eyes, everything changed. The bed that she lay in had been open, revealing everything in the room, now there was a soft mesh fabric draped between each post. Hidden and secure from the world outside, he pulled back the drapery and crawled onto the bed with her. In a flash, somewhat of a deja vu, she saw him as he moved towards her, but it was as if he was from a different time and place. He stripped off his robe and tossed it to the foot of the bed, taking the form of a cloak as it landed.
Confusion began to creep over her. What was this? Each movement from him brought a flash of another time to her eyes.
He took her into her arms, whispering as her eyes closed," M'lady, this time we shall never part." He kissed her softly as he stroked her cheek, letting his fingers dance upon her neck softly and continuing down over her arms until they found her fingers and became woven together with hers. He looked at her lovingly and sighed deeply," I have missed you my angel." A tear fell down his cheek." I will not give up this time, I will never leave you again. Centuries of loneliness and heartache, everything I have lived has brought us back to this moment again....I'm sorry m'love, please forgive me."
