Avalon is full of desperate people. She bites at her lower lip this time, fumbling her hands, knitting her fingers into the bundle of plastic coin bags in her grasp. Are you implying that Im desperate? I say, one eyebrow tilting.You dont need to be desperate you can have anyone... I she trails off. Looking up and trying to search the line of shops for the bank. I repulse her, I make her want to run. Why is this so hard? I need to get inside of her, I need to know what she is thinking, what she is wanting.It surely isnt me she wants. Not to the extent that I want her.You? I entice her to finish her sentence but she doesnt, she stares off into the bustling crowds, memory flashing her eyes with a darkness.Madi wouldnt fumble like this.Oh, she would fumble, but not in the way you are, Elli.Youre not her, Elli. I entice her again, trying to force the dark memory, the sadness from her.No, if I was, you wouldnt have wanted anyone else.A breath hitches in her throat, she puts a hand over her mouth and says something else, her cheeks dance a shade of red that brightens and brightens until she apologises and quickens her pace. I chuckle, pulling at her arm and encircling one around her waist, pulling her back to me. Beneath my touch, her body trembles. When I raise my hand, my palm touching her cheek, I am sure she isnt breathing.I dont want anyone, Elli. My eyes burn, consuming her with my gaze. She is like a frightful deer, struggling beneath me with a gaze that cannot quite meet mine. When she does, it is only for a brief second before falling down and all I see is the gentle flutter of her raven flashes.I told you. I want someone I cannot have.That is a really harsh way of telling someone youre not interested.
