dispair and distruction

He watched her there. Sitting alone on the stump of a once mighty oak. She stared into the light of the full moon. Tears, he could smell them. He longed to reach out for her, to touch her, love her, but he new it impossible. The erg would be far to strong. He couldn’t keep her with out taking the one thing that he loved the most about her away. Her mortal innocents. He stood behind a tree in the beautiful forest. He reached out a hand as if to touch her hair. She heard him step on a twig, and he quickly jumped behind a larger tree. “Who’s there?” she whispered through a choked sob. It killed him to see her so sad. She walked twords where she heard the sound come from. “Please if it’s you, show your self to me. I mean no harm I swear. Please.” she said. It was the “I mean no harm,” and “please” parts that made his every conshence blow away. “Harm?,” He said softly.” What harm could you cause?” the sent of her tears was stronger now that she was facing his direction. “Why do you follow me oh stranger, why do you haunt my dreams, and why when I want to see you, you hide from me?” she almost yelled her body shaking with a mixture of frustration and the next giant sob that hit her like a tsunami. He winced at the words as they were both hurtful and meaningful at the same time. It was true, he came to her in her sleep, invaided her sweet dreams, only to make them more bitter sweet with his phantome presence. Never revealing him self. Not meaning to tease her, but that’s exactly what he did. It was also true that in her conshence mind he followed her as well. Always staying to steps behind. Always there to catch her if she fell, then as silent as the wind he would be gone. “Gabrella,” he whisperd as he came out of the shadows. She looked up into his eyes that were being perfectly lit by the moon. He staid his distance, if he got to close too her he knew he would kill her. Not in malise, but in instinckted. She saw him and ran to him with out stretched arms. He was her love, even though she couldn’t see him all this time. He jumped in to the air and held his position hovering a few feet above her. Instead of running away, like any other mortal would, she stayed put. Only letting her mouth stand a gape and her eyes wide. But he could sence no fear from his mortal lover, just admireation. “Please my pet, don’t come near me.” Gaston stated sadly. “ Why?, why can I not come near you? “ Gabrella asked through new tear staind eyes. “I’m dangerous. And I don’t want to hurt you.” He said as he hung his head low. But still she came closer, not caring. He floated back down to the ground with his head still hung. “ Please.” Was all he could say before she lifted his eyes to see his own tears, blood shed tears.
