taming fire

Ashton tossed and turned all night. He was so confused and angry with himself and her. With a heavy sigh he got up and went into the kitchen. The day played in his head over and over again.

"What did I do?" he spoke to his counter. Heavy hands ran through his hair. A glance toward the hall and there lay her diary. He trudged to it and opened it. By the time he reached day 21 he was sitting in the hall with his back against the wall.

Day 22
I don't understand him! He is so dumb sometimes it drives me insane! Don't get me wrong, he is smart, but he can act so dumb! I am getting stronger, but he is asking too much from me! Do this, do that, you are this, you will be this...I am so tired of the games. I can't believe it, but I think he is kinda...attractive. I love his will to help and to be the man of the house if you will, but I hate his attitude! You will never beat me! Well, we will just see about that!

Sapphire

Ashton went out to find her and apologize for everything he has done to her. He didn't know he was pushing her too hard.



Sapphire sat at the gym. She had hidden in the rafters until it closed, but now she pushed out all the strength she had but kept going until she was sick. A sinking feeling came from her chest when she saw the shadow appear.

"I told you to..." When she turned a tall man with tan skin and clear blue eyes met her.

"Hi."

"Hi..."

"Oh, my name is Shane." She noted his form and knew if he were to attack she would loose.

"Sapphire." Her heart was pounding.

"You are nervous...I will not hurt you, we are a lot alike. I can tell by your eyes." He approached her and stopped a few centimeters from her.

"Okay."

"You are in front of the dumbells, can you please move?" Releif flooded her. They talked for a long while and he even walked her home. She had no idea of the dangers.
