Chapter three

“What is it with you girls today?”Danny’s eyes popped open to find her mother standing over her with her hands on her hips. “Michelle is cranky and you are still asleep. Are you sick?”

“Um” Danny tried for noncom mental. All she wanted was for her mother to leave her alone. She had dreams she had to get back too. Danny sighed and buried her head in her pillow mumbling.

“Well?” Danny’s mother reached down to check for a temperatu “Yo “You staying home today?”
Danny nodded and turned over, avoiding her mother’s touch. “Fine”,her mother sighed, “But this is the second day this week. It is just not like you.’ Danny was almost back asleep before her mother left the room.

“It’s not fair!” Michelle shouted. “I wanna stay if she does.” Danny winced at the shrillness of her little sisters voice.

Danny lifted her head and squinted at the clock next to her bed. It read 8:30, she had only missed first period. She could still get up and go to school. Maybe getting away from here would do her some good. Get her head out of the clouds and back in reality. Her mind made up, Danny tossed back to covers and tried to get to her feet. Danny groaned and sank back down into bed. She had no energy. Her mind wanted her up, but her body had other ideas. Her body won out. “I mean two days out of the whole year?”, she thought. “I’ll go tomorrow.”
****************
“You always let her do what she wants.” Michelle threw her lunch box on the floor. “It’s not fair. I am tired. I don’t feel well. I wanna stay home.” Michelle was so tired and frustrated she did not know what to do. She knew she was being a bad girl, but Momma would not listen.

“Michelle you are well enough to throw this fit, you are well enough to go to school.” The girls mother was almost at her wits end. Danny never missed school and had missed two days this week. And her sweet little baby was acting like a brat. She knew Michelle would feel better once she got to school. “Just get in the car, we are going to be late.”

“No!” Michelle screamed. “ I am not going.” She stamped her tiny foot, her pony tail whipping violently back and forth.

“Oh yes you are.” The girls mother reached over and took Michelle by the arm. “I won’t have you acting this way.” She stooped and grabbed the lunch box from where it has fallen. “Stop fighting me Michelle.” The girls mother let the lunch box drop to get a better hold on her daughter’s flailing limbs. “Ow!”

Michelle had kicked her mother. “No, and you can’t make me!” Michelle shoved away from her mother and ran up stairs. “I hate you!”

Danny closed her eyes at the sound of the to Michelle’s room slamming shut. It really did not sound like her sweet little sister. Michelle never threw tantrums and she loved school. Only in the second grade, Michelle was what one would considered popular. The whole thing was really out of character.

“Michelle!” her mother shouted from what sounded like downstairs.. “Michelle! Fine but don’t think you are going to watch t.v. all day, young lady. You are staying in bed until your father gets home. Then every one is going to sit down for a long talk.”

Danny had drifted back to sleep when the sound of the her bedroom being opened made her eyes open.. “Danny?”, Michelle peeked her little head around the door. “I had a night mare can I sleep in here? Michelle had edged her way a little further into her big sisters room.”Please?”

“Why Mich?” Danny started to move over to make room for Michelle. “It’s the middle of the day. Besides it was just a dream.”

“I know.” Michelle sighed as she climbed in the bed. “But the guy in it was scary.”

“There was a guy in it?” Danny asked. Something nudging her at the back of her mind made her ask. “What was this guy g?” g?”

“He was standing under the window and playing scary music.” Michelle yawned. “The music kept me up all night.”

Danny’s heart stopped beating, she was fully awake now. “What did he look like?”

“A girl but scary.” Michelle was almost asleep. “He had long hair like Aunt May, but he had fangs with freaky pointed ears. He would not go away. His music kept me up.” The last was said on a long yawn then the little girl’s breathing was even and restful.

Danny waited until she was sure her sister had settled down before she tried to get up. This time her body decided to obey her mind and she slipped from beneath the covers. Michelle just turned over and snuggled down in to the warm space where Danny had been. Danny quickly and quietly dressed in jeans and her favorite t-shirt, she left her room to go down

Danny walked down stairs to the kitchen to find her mother washing dishes from the breakfast that no one ate. “Mom?”

“Well look who decided to get up.” Her mother turned from the sink, dish rag still in her hand. “Have you going to go to school? You are dressed.”

“No mom, I still don’t feel good, maybe some fresh air will help.” Danny started walking towards the door. “I sure liked the cd you and dad were playing last night.” Danny held her breath and waited.

“What cd?” Her mother frowned. “When was this?”

“Oh after Michelle and I went to bed.” Danny prayed her mother would say it was her.
.
“Must have been a dream. Are you sure you are alright?” Her mother turned back towards Danny reaching to feel her forehead. “We went to bed ten minutes after you did.”

Danny’s knees almost buckled. “Okay, yeah a dream.” She leaned back against the wall in order to be out of reach to her mother. She did now have a fever, but Danny was sure it was not because she was sick. “I’ll be back in time for lunch.”

“Where do you think you will be going for that long?” her mother asked, starting to get worried about her eldest. “You look pale. You should go upstairs to bed.”

“Mother,” Danny was frustrated now. “I just need to get out of the house. I’ll be back. “ Danny opened the door and all but fell outside.

When the door shut behind her Danny waited her whole body shaking with appreciation. She cocked her head, there was no music floating on the air. She relaxed and started walking towards the woods. The sun shone down on her and it felt good. It was light, the daylight chased away any bad or frightening thoughts. Dreams where just that, dreams. Elves belonged in books not in little forests in the middle of a pasture. Danny sighed almost sadly. “Still it would have been nice to have someone that belonged to only me.” She smiled at the trees in front of her. Maybe she would write a story about it. No one would have to no it was her dreams that were so hot and sexy. Danny laughed and realized that she was standing just outside the entrance to the trees. Despite her little self pep talk she felt a little afraid.

Here the cheerfulness of the day did not quite reach. There was an air about it that made her heart beat faster. The trees seemed bigger and closer together. The sunlight did not seem to penetrate the space between the leaves. The whole place seemed almost angry. There were no happy birds calling, just a sullen silence. When Danny took a step into the shadows, the whole place seemed to almost take a breath. Each tree that she touched as she walked deeper into the trees seemed to pulse as if reacting to her touch. The tension in her belly now was not from pleasure of the day. Finally she reached the shadow shrouded center of the trees, and found it empty. She did not know what to feel. With him not here she felt saner, but the disappointment made her shake her head. “What did you expect?” Danny asked herself.

“Alone” a e whe whispered from across the clearing. It carried on the still air towards Danny. A low painful moan made Danny move across the clearing. She could not believe her eyes. Her elf was there. He was real.

There he was, laying on the earth. His beautiful hair spread around him. His eyes were closed as if he were sleeping.”Please”, he whispered. His body shuddered as if in pain. “Someone find me.” His body arched as if pulled tight by some force. “Danny...” Her named ended in a sigh., and broke her heart. Why was he like this? What had done this to him?

“Right here.” Danny knelt and pulled his head into her lap, brushing his hair away from his face. “I am sorry.” She did not know what to do...so she talked. “Please I am sorry. I know you are here. I found you. I won’t disbelieve again. Wake up. You have too.” Tears fell down her cheeks. If only he would open his eyes, if she could see his eyes she would know he was alright.

His body shuddered again and he took on long breath. “My Lady?” His voice was weak, but those beautiful amber eyes were open.” Where..” he started but Danny shushed him.

“Rest.” She whispered. “I’m here.”

His eyes closed again and his breathing became regular. Danny shook her head. What was she going to do? She just looked at him, as he slept. Her hand running through his hair. It was so thick, it fell through her fingers in waves. She traced his wondrous ears with a fingertip. Her finger ran along his jaw, his moonlit skin felt silky. Yet the strength in his face made him unmistakably masculine. Her finger ghosted over his lips. Would they still taste of nutmeg? She was thinking about that night when she felt his mouth open and her finger was surrounded by the burning heat of his mouth. She gasped and looked to find his eyes slitted and watching her.


She quickly pulled her hand away and blushed. “I’m sorry..I just”

“Wanted to touch me.” He sat up and reached for her hand again. “Please don’t stop.” He laid her hand against his chest.

Danny looked at her hand resting on the white fabric that covered his chest. Her hand moved up to finger the laces at his throat. “I’ve only seen shirts like this in pictures. It is beautiful.” Frantically Danny wondered why she was talking about clothes. “I mean it must be really old.” Danny gasped in horror at what she said. “I’m sorry. I did not mean to say that.”

He smiled softly at her. “It is alright. It is old, but I don’t remember how old.” His handeredered hers at his throat, “Please don’t stop touching me.”

He seemed so passive, it thrilled Danny in a way. He was willing to let her take control. Even if she did not know what to do, he seemed to enjoy what she was doing. She moved to her knees to be of a same height as him. She buried both of her hands in his hair. Pulling it away from his head and letting it fall back. Danny leaned towards him and place her lips against his. His body shook as he slowly moved his arms to pull her closer. His mouth opened under hers and her tongue tentatively started to explore. His hands tightened on her hips as he tilted his head to allow her better access to his mouth.

Danny pulled back and licked her lips, he tasted like cinnamon. His eyes opened slowly and turned a molten gold as they watched her lick her lips.

“More?” he asked and Danny laughed. She leaned in for another kiss and was surprised when he became the one in control. His teeth nibbled on the corner of her lips before moving across her jaw to her ear lobe. His hands started the slow path from her hips to her breasts, and Danny trembled. He was moving fast and it frightened her, but she was not going to stop this time. His mouth leaving slow wet kisses down her neck to collar of her t-shirt. He pulled back and raise one fine eyebrow at her.

Danny started to panic. He was so beautiful. What would he think of her? What the hell was she doing. Her heart pounding, she could not think of anything to say.

He ran his fingers through her dark hair. “So beautiful.” he whispered. He kissed her eyes. “Your eyes are so expressive. One can know what you are feeling just by looking into them. “ His lips found hers again and Danny was lost in his slow deep kisses.

He slowly leaned Danny back, and almost before she knew what was happening his body was pressing her into the soft grass underneath her. He pulled back and his molten eyes bored into hers. “I want to see you.” His voice loud in her ears, she felt almost mesmerized. Like nothing mattered but what he wanted. She nodded her head.

His hands slipped under her hem of her shirt and pulled it up over head. He tossed it aside and looked at her in her bra. He frowned. She held her breath, almost afraid to displease him. Was there something wrong with her body?

“What?” she was almost panicking now.

“Remove that.” he pointed at her bra.

Her hands acted as if they had a mind of their own, and removed the bra. Her breath was coming raggedly between her lips. He smiled as her breasts were bared, and it was as if the tension was let out of her body. He was pleased, that was all that mattered.

He bent his head and Danny felt his breath on her nipples. She felt his tongue flick against one and her whole body jumped. His chuckle made fell like liquid honey and she moaned as he drew her nipple into his mouth. His other hand covered her other breast and his fingers caressed nipple into a hard peak. His mouth left her and she cried out, “Don’t”

“Shhh”, he whispered. “I’m not finished Danny.” He kissed her again. I am going to see all of you.”

“Whatever you want.” Danny moaned. Danny was nothing but hot need. She had no idea what she wanted him to do, she only wished he would do it.

Her eyes were closed so she missed the look of satisfaction come over his face at her words. “Say that again.” he commanded.

“Whatever you want.” Danny moaned as his mouth bit her shoulder. Her body arched against his, wanting him closer, but not knowing how to do it. “ Please, just whatever you want. Just do something.”

“Yes My Lady.” His hands moved between her legs. His fingers pressing into her through her jeans. “Your wish is my command.” His started to lean down to take her mouth again.

“Danny?” her mother’s voice cut through the trees. “Danny, you need to come out now.” There was the sound of someone entering the trees and Danny sat up in a panic.

“Yes mom.” Danny yelled frantically searching for her top. “I’m coming. Just go back to the house. I am fine.” Danny found her top and got it all tangled up in her hands. He reached and took the shirt from her, untwisting it.

“Alright.” the sound of her mother’s foot steps started to fade. “But come back now.”

“Yes ma’am.” Danny held her arms up as he slid the shirt over her head. “I have to go.” she whispered.

“I know. You will come to me tonight.”, it was not a request.

“Yes.” Danny sighed and took the hand he offered to help her up. “I don’t think I could stay away.” He smiled at her and Danny turned to walk home.

His mouth changed from the soft gentle smile he had offered her. His lush lips pulled back from his teeth into a snarl to revel sharp teeth that could easily tear flesh. His eyes took on a hateful gleam. A low growl started low in his throat and built up until it filled the trees. He pulled a hand back and slashed violently at the nearest tree. He smiled evily imaging it was soft flesh that gave way beneath his hand instead of bark.

“I will make her bleed for me tonight.” he ran a hand through his thick hair. “And she will beg for it.”
