She watched from afar
And he did seem
So far away
So out of reach
But she would dream of him at night
And she didn't know
That he would dream of her too
He would never let it show
She was everything he was against
He was everything she feared
He was stubborn
But so was she
Would they wind up together?
Was it fate?
He refused to budge
And she stuck close to her friends
His brother was a nuisance
They would always fight
Her love had already gone unanswered
And she felt that it would happen again
Because this distant stranger
Was not a friend
But in the silent of night
He did appear
Going against his ideals
He had to be near
For dangers did lurk
Close at hand
And he would not let her be hurt
At an enemies hands
So as she slept cozy
Her dreams of him
He did hover of her close
Trying to steady his hands
As she moaned in her sleep
He groaned in the shadows
How hard this was
To be indifferent
When all he wanted to do was hold her close
But as he had suspected
The danger did strike
He started to battle
And moved further away
He must protect her
His brother would stray
He fought for her life
With no thought of his
Nothing could hurt him
Not even his Kin
But the love of one sweet girl
Could bring him to his knees
And he started to realize
He just might have to tell her himself
Because just the thought of her being hurt
Caused his demon to stir
He panicked and spun
A cry rent the air
His woman was hurt!
How could someone dare?!
He sped on the air
To her side he did appear
Was he too late?
Blood scented the air
She was on her knees
Hands stained red
He gasped for air
She could not be dead
He knelt close her her side
His hands shook
His eyes cried
She looked up at him
Black hair blocked her face
A smile lit her lips
Dark eyes were glazed
“I must be dreaming,” She whispered
“All is right.”
Then she died.
A howl pierced the air
It was a frightful sound
The demon was released
Here comes the hound.
