The flames felt so close, it felt like I could feel them biting at my skin, yearning for more. My head was filled with too much, I couldn’t think, it was a numb pain. My lungs were screaming for air, as I tried to block the smoke attacking me, I heard a loud crash, and the walls around me were crashing down. I gave up, and lay there, as my mind tried to think of the light. The flames were coming for me, faster and faster.
“ Thirsira!” My eyes opened in overwhelming excitement, was this just a delusion? It couldn’t be because there he was, his figure above. I wondered how he could walk through fire, as if it was his nature. But, then it hit me, “ my mother she named me Aden because it means little fire…she always said I had a gift, yet to be discovered”
He held me in his arms. I felt helpless, but it felt so good to be in his warm arms once again. My body overreacted to all this heat, I was flooded with sweat. But in my mind I liked the warmth it was a sweet, tingly sensation. I knew I couldn’t survive, I felt it inside of me. Death was crawling over me, marking my spot, I was next in line. But yet I couldn’t be any happier I was dying in Aden’s arms and that’s all that mattered.
But then an unexpected lift of life rose upon me. It was a dent in human fate, a miracle. Aden’s lips softly pushed against mine. My heart instantly skipped a beat, and fell into a lovely harmony of beats. The moment overpowered the death destroying every part of it. I had a reason to live. Our lips met so perfectly, as if we were two puzzle pieces, finding our missing match. The burning horror I felt on my skin disappeared. I understood his kiss was a shield wrapping around me protecting from the flames, screaming for my skin. This kiss was much more than a kiss. It was a deadly promise, which bonded us together forever. Without his existence, I couldn’t live my life.
His silky-smooth hand stroked my blushing cheeks, with such sensitivity as if he felt I would break into a millions pieces any second. I felt overwhelmed with his plain comforting smile, that I could never get use to. The most indescribable part of this all, was when I looked into his pure cameral eyes; and saw that he felt every bit the same towards me as I felt for him. With everything that fluttered in my lost mind. I kept my self to believe, what the truth was. This moment was real, he was real, and what I was feeling was real. The deep compelling thought frustrated me, as it slowly sank in. I was now stuck, in where endless souls found their selves every waking Second and this would never end until every fragment of all those souls were gone. This meant only one thing. With the simplest words, I loved him. As much as I was terribly scared of this fact, I couldn’t deny it anymore. I kept questioning myself, was this really real? Or was this really all a dream. And a pit of grief came upon me, as I looked at reality. But than I realized reality didn’t exist in love. And no matter where I ended up, this boy was now part of my life. It didn’t matter if he existed in my world, I existed in his and he was always and forever to be in my heart. I felt every thud, as my heart-beated faster, and faster. I wondered if it would every stop. I stopped to catch my breathe for a moment with my head laying on his incredible well-built shoulder. His arm wrapped around me, in such a protective force. But yet it was the gentlest gesture I’ve ever received in my life.
The fire seemed so tamed, as if it would never hurt anyone.
