Forbidden Love

Chapter 1
Just a Dream
******************************************************************


The clouds slowly covered the bright full moon. And a chill wind blew through the treetops. Autumn had slowly crept in the past few weeks. It wasn't yet cold enough to get out my winter coat, but cold enough to give me a chill.
It was late, about 11:30pm at night. I had another fight with mom and had to get out of the house before I did something I would regret. So I took off to the cemetery a few blocks away. For some reason though I felt safe there. I felt at peace and was able to relax. As I walked the long blocks I felt as though I wasn't alone and I was being watched. I felt a little uneasy but my anger kept me going. If anyone messed with me right now they would be on the ground in a matter of seconds. I needed to calm down so I kept going and ignored it. When I finally go to the cemetery I felt relieved. Nothing that out of the ordinary happened. I still felt strange inside. Like something was calling me.
I slowly walked through the cemetery gates. I walked as quietly I could. As though if I made even the slightest noise the dead would wake from under me. I walked over to a finally decorated head stone and slumped down to the ground with a “humph”. I looked up to see an angle staring down at me. At that moment all my anger slowly started to fade away.
I must have fallen asleep because when I looked at my watch it was almost 3:00. I cursed myself for falling asleep and slowly got up, and got ready to start for home. Mom should have cooled down by now. I had only taken a few steps when from the corner of my eye I saw a shadowy figure move quickly across the cemetery in front of me. I froze unable to move.
I thought to myself " Who would be here at this hour? Besides me."
I felt the same way I did before. When I was walking here. The feeling that something was wrong. That someone was following me watching me.
"Who's their?!" I yelled fear in my voice.
"You shouldn't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you or anything."
Came a voice above me. I spun around and looked above me. When I looked up I was amazed to see a boy on the roof of a nearby crypt. It puzzled me. How could someone get to the top of that crypt? There were no trees around or anything to climb on. And this wasn't a normal sized crypt either. It was HUGE! About the size of 3 put together. The name Craven was written in bold letters across the top. I staid there for a couple of seconds wondering. When I got my head back I asked who he was. Still a little startled.
"I'm just a lost soul." he replied.
"A lost soul? This guy is a nut case." I thought to myself.
He jumped from the crypt with the gracefulness of a cat. I didn't have time to say anything before he landed a few feet in front of me. I fell back startled by his act. And amazingly he caught me. A second ago he was in front of me. And now he was behind me and had me in his arms. I could then make out the angel like features of his pale face. His beautiful green eyes stared into mine. His dark shaggy hair strayed every which way as though he had gotten out of bed without brushing it. I could barely make out in the darkness the small metal ring in his lip and left eyebrow. It was like looking at and angel fallen straight from grace and I was in his arms unable to move my eyes locked with his.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you."
I shook my head freeing myself from his gaze."You really didn't scare me. You more of startled me is all. It's not everyday that someone just jumps off a crypt that high and is ok. How did you get up there anyway?"
"That’s a secret."
“A secret?”
"Yes, a secret meant for another time."
"Who says I will be seeing you again?"
"Nobody but you Sara."
"Sara, how do you know my name?"
I then realized that I was still in his arms. For some strange reason it felt so right in his arms. Safe there close to him. He must have seen it in my face for he drew me closer to him. I started to blush but he just smiled and held me tight.
"Do you know that you’re beautiful?"
"wh...what did you say?"
"Your beautiful Sara."
Nobody had ever said something like that to me ever. And this guy was a complete stranger.
"I've been waiting in the dark for so long to find you. This is the best day of my life. I've never felt so alive before!"
"Do you really mean that?"
"Why would I say it if I didn't mean it?"
"I don't know? Maybe to lead an innocent girl on."
"I would never do that. Not to you. What I said was true. Sara I love you! And I mean it with all my heart!"
With that his lips touched mine. I was a little startled at first. This guy I just met was kissing me. But I didn't pull back. I came in to make the kiss deeper. It felt so good. Like I finally belonged somewhere. Somewhere in his arms. I closed my eyes and.........BEEP.....BEEP......BEEP
"UGH"
I rolled over slowly and turned off the alarm clock.
"UGH!!!! Monday, I HATE Monday!"
I finally got out of bed after lying there for a few minutes and walked to the bathroom to get ready. As I brushed my teeth I thought about my dream. After I looked into the mirror only to be stared back at by my pale face slightly flushed from thoughts about the dream. I never wore makeup and my dark brown hair was a mess but I didn't care. I wasn’t trying to impress anyone. I went to my closet and put on a black T-shirt with "It's A Goth Thing" written on the front. I quickly put on a pair of jeans that were lying on the floor and slipped on my shoes. As I was once again staring at the mirror I thought about how much of a loser i must look like. But I didn't care as I slipped back into thought about my dream.
"That’s the fifth time I had that dream in the past month. I wander what it means?"
I finished getting ready and walked down the stairs. Still thinking about my dream. I had that dream before but it never felt that real. I could feel his breath on my skin, even smell his calone. It was like it really happened. Like I was really their.
"Sara your going to be late if you don't hurry up!"
"Yah,yah,yah mom I know."
I hurried down the rest of the stairs grabbed my backpack and ran out the door. As I walked down the sidewalk I listened to the sound of my feet synchronizing with the beat of my heart. I couldn't stop thinking about that dream.
"Sara!!!!SARA!!!!!!"
"Huh? What?"
"Damn girl! I've been calling you for last half a block!"
"Oh, sorry Katie I was thinking about something."
"Thinking about something? What?"
"Nothing important."
"You were thinking about Cody again weren't you!"
"NO! I had that dream again. You know the one I told you about with the boy in the cemetery."
"Dream? Boy? Oh, that dream. Isn't this like the fifth time you had that dream lately?"
Yah, it's weird. It's like it's trying to tell me something."
"Are you trying to tell me that you actually believe that this dream is trying to tell you something? You take things too literally Sara. Your lack of sleep is starting to get to you. Your going crazy!"
"I am not!!!"
"Whatever you say Sara."
We walked the rest of the way to school talking about things we had done over the weekend. When we did get to school the bell had already rung. So we rushed to our classes. Luckily for me Mr. C. wasn't in the room yet so I quickly took my seat.
"Good day class. I hope you all had a good weekend." He bellowed as he entered.
“If only he knew!” I thought to myself.
"Class get out your notes that we started on Friday. We will have a test at the end of the week over the notes."
Hell no! We just had a test last week! This is bullshit!!! I screamed in my head. Well the rest of the day was pretty much the same as usual. More tests to study for. I was so glad to finally get out of there. I met up with Katie at the park across from the school.
"So Katie did you get to class on time?"
"No that bitch caught me as I came in the door. I swear she has it in for me!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because she yells at me when I'm doing absolutely nothing. She gives me F's on almost all my papers and tests. And she just plain hates me for some reason."
"Well I guess that’s a good reason. Have you told your mom or the principal?"
"Do you think they would believe me Sara? My mom would just say it was an excuse for my grades being so low. And do you really think the principal would listen?"
"I don't know what to tell you Katie . I guess the world is just out to get you."
"Ha, ha very funny Sara!"
"Are you doing anything tonight? Maybe you can stay over since it's Halloween."
"I don't know I'll ask my mom. What are we going to do because I'm not taking your little sister trick-or-treating with you. That was embarrassing!"
"Don't worry my dad is taking her tonight. We'll be home alone. If you want I can see if we can rent some movies?"
"That sounds fun. It's better than sitting at home and passing out candy all night."
"Well call me if you’re coming over ok."
"Ok."
We walked a few blocks down to the ice-cream shop. After we ate Katie had to go to band practice so I headed home. Later that night Katie called and said that she couldn't come over but I could come to her house for the night. So I grabbed some movies from the movie store and headed for Katie's house. We stayed up late and watched movies while we gave out candy. It was so funny because one of the movies scared Katie so bad that she wouldn't leave my side all night. The next day we got up and went to school. Who has school the day after Halloween? Well we had it and it sucked. I was so tired. I came straight home and went to bed. Slamming doors woke me up. So I walked downstairs.
“Hey mom what’s wrong?”
"Why the hell isn't dinner done yet! You are worthless!"
“What in the hell crawled up your ass bitch!!”
"Don't you ever talk to me like that again!"
“Oh, what are you going to do? Bitch!”
"You worthless piece of shit!"
“Fuck off!! I'm outta here! See ya you old hag!”
" You get your ass back here Sara!!!"
SLAM!!!
Damn women. She has to piss me off every time! She never listens to me!
I don't know why I even bother staying. I could just leave anytime and she wouldn't even care. These thoughts ran through my head as I headed for the cemetery. I felt uneasy as I walked. Like I was not alone but I ignored it. I finally got to the cemetery and walked slowly to a nearby gravestone and slumped down. I can't believe that old hag!!! Oh well I’ll just stay here for a while. It isn't like she'll worry or anything. She could care less about what happens to me. She would have been better off if I was never born! I screamed into the darkness. I look up at the sky. Soo many stars soo peaceful like nothing could ever disturb them there so………..
"Sara.....Sara....Sara is that you I hear?"
“Who..Who's there?”
"It's me Sara. Don't you remember?"
“Remember what?”
"You don't remember your dreams?"
“Yes I remember them. What about them…how do you know?? And that doesn’t answer my question!?”
He gave me a sly crooked smile as though I was bind to something clearly right in front of my face.
"By the way my name is Damien."
“Damien? That’s an odd name. You are the boy from my dreams!!”
"I'm glad."
“Glad about what? What do you want with me? And why have you been in my dreams?”
"I’m glad you remember me from your dreams I’ve been searching for you for years.”
“You are the one I love. The one I can share my internal life with Sara. I love you.”
“Well now isn't it a little early for that kind of talk? I just met you.”
"But I know you feel the same way. I know what you dream about. Why do you not open your heart?"
“How do you know so much about me?”
"You would be surprised at how much I know."
“I...I have to go.”
"Why? No you can't leave not yet! Sara.....SARA!!!"
“Huh? I must have fallen asleep.” I looked at the ground and then my watch. “Damn it all to hell. I can't believe I fucken fell asleep!”
Just then a shadow moved quickly in front of me.
Who’s there? I yelled into the darkness. Yet nothing but a cool wind answered. I chill ran up my spine as I started to walk to the gate. Hoping that mom was gone at home, cause I really didn’t want to hear any of her shit. Just then two arms wrapped around me. I screamed and whirled around to see two dark eyes staring back at me.
“Hi there”
The voice sounded familiar but I was too lost in there eyes to think or answer.
“Sara….Sara. Snap out of it.”
“Huh….what??”
“You know you can be so weird sometimes…..and what are you doing in the cemetery?”
I pushed away finally realizing who it was.
“Alex what in the hell are you doing here? And never put your arms around me again you got that!”
“God bitchy much! Just because we broke up doesn’t mean I don’t still care about you.”
“You Fucking cheated on me! You have no right to say that you still care about me. You never answered my first question what are you doing here?”
“I was walking home from Dan’s and I saw you here and I thought I would see how you were doing, ok.”
“ Not ok I told you I never wanted to talk to you again”
“Come on Sara you still cant be mad at me.”
“And why cant I? You totally fucked me over when we were together! So I think I have every right to still be mad.”
“But…..but I said I was sorry for what I did, come on quit being like this.”
“Like what?!”
I though about pushing the subject further, but knew that nothing was going to get through that think self absorbed head of his.
“Nevermind I’m done fighting with you. Just leave me alone Alex.”
I turned and started to walk away only to be stopped by a firm hand on my shoulder.
“ALEX LET ME GO!!!!!”
“No, I’m never letting you go again, your mine Sara.”
I whirled around quickly surprised at what he had said only to find his lust filled eyes. Seeing this I tried to pull back again clearly knowing what his intentions were.
“Alex……I said let me go!”
His grip tightened as he said in a very cold tone “I said that I wouldn’t. If I can’t have you then ill make sure that nobody wants you.
A smirk crossed his face and before I knew what was going on I was forced up against one of the many large tombs that scattered the cemetery. I was terrified not knowing what to do as I tried to fight him off tears filling my eyes.
“Please stop Alex. Don’t do this please I beg of you.”
My voice trembled as his free hand began to roam my body ignoring my pleas. He pressed closer still. My body felt numb and I would have fallen to the ground if Alex didn’t have his steel grip on my shoulder. I couldn’t think….couldn’t breath. All I could manage was a muffled cry. My eyes were blurred with tears. “Why..why was this happening to me.” His thumb slowly traced my bottom lip, and I closed my eyes tight, trying to tell myself that this was all just a nightmare. I could feel his breath on my skin, it made my head spin and I felt sick to my stomach. Then suddenly he pulled back. I didn’t open my eyes, I feared what he was going to do next. My head was pounding and my ears ringing, but I swear I could hear a low growl coming from just a few feet head of us. I held my breath waiting for this nightmare to end.
