Cinder meandered through the gardens with Kai by her side. The colors seemed brighter and more vivid with him at her side. Cinder knew it was just her eyes playing tricks on her but she wished the night would never end. Kai swung their clasped hands as they ambled along the cobblestone path. The only parts of her that were warm were the parts that touched his. Cinder tried to conceal her shiver as a brisk wind danced over her skin. She leaned into his shoulder closing her eyes. He stopped and engulfed her in a hug. Kai's arms wrapped around her arms and rubbed them. "Cold?" he asked muttering into her hair. She pressed her face into chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. "Hmm," she murmured. "I was," Cinder stood on tip toe and pressed a kiss to his throat. "Not anymore though." She felt him shifting and cracked open an eye, too comfortable to move. Kai draped his coat over her. "Better?" Cinder nodded against his chest. She knew this wouldn't last. It couldn't last. Not if the assassin was still after her. If they found out how much Kai mean to her... No. Cinder can't let that happen. They can't hurt Kai. They can't. Kai had to be as far away from her as he can get, especially now. And perhaps later after this was over if Kai could ever forgive her for abandoning him once again... Cinder shook her head. She couldn't fantasize now. She stepped back with a mocking smirk. "So," she started, that biting expression locked on her face. Don't falter, she told herself. His life is on the line. "When are you going to tell the press about your fabricated lies?" Kai stilled, his eyes wide, confused. Wondering about her ridiculous mood swings probably. "I..." Cinder tilted her head, lips pressed together. "You didn't think... ... middle of paper ... ... thought. "Don't be so desperate, Kaito," Cinder continued. Stop, the voice inside shrieked, but Cinder couldn't let up. She had to sever every thread, every thought, every touch. Kai was not hers. Cinder crossed her arms, expression bored. "If it makes you feel better, I thought you were pretending as well. If I knew you hadn't been, I would have stopped this game a lot sooner. I'm apologize if I hurt you." But she didn't sound apologetic, even to her ears. She would never be sorry for this. There would be no regrets. It was for the best. Kai shook his head at her. "I can't-" he stopped. "I just can't." He turned away. "Have a good evening, Queen Selene." A shard of pain sliced her chest at the return of formality. "To you as well, Your Majesty," she whispered to his retreating back. Kai didn't seem to hear her, or if he did, Kai chose not to acknowledge it.
“That’s so sweet. No guy has ever gone through so much trouble for me.” She felt her eyes welling up.
Faye “legs were shaking so badly, she knew it was only his arms that kept her from falling” without him she would not be the same person. Kai pressured her staying persistent, it was only right for her to speak to him, since “you’re a part of me, Faye. Part of my life.” Said kai. He was certainly baffled, because he could not think of anything that would be so tragic that she had to hide from him so dearly.
With its long slender body the snake is probably the funniest shaped creature you will ever encounter. There are many benefits regarding this wonderful reptile that make it a high asset to the world. It has been said that people are always afraid of what is different, afraid of what they do not know. Many of the rumored questions can be easily dispelled. From questions like what is a Thamnophis sirtalis, to where the extracting organs are located. First, let us dispel any of the rumors that are around about these guys. Despite popular belief, the snake does not swallow there young to protect them from harm; the stomach would immediately start to digest them. This myth came around from fear and adrenaline, but snakes cannot crawl faster than a human can run. The tongue of the snake is not a stinger, but actually a sensory organ. In addition, snakes are not slimy, because they do not secrete any kind of oil. Now that we have started uncovering the truth about these reptiles, we can start with some facts.
As the light touches her, her soft white skin glows as though the sun resides within her. Her olive hair sways gently as her head surveys the world beyond confines of her big yet silent abode. She waits with her eyes lit up like green diamonds and a smile which conveys the very meaning of happiness. Though the outside world seems to boast its dullness,
His hazel eyes haunted her both day and night. Shivering with anxiety, but overwhelmed with curiosity, she entered the edge of the dark woods, she clutched her coat to her chest for a chance at some minuscule form of
“When she what?” Rukia lowered her voice held Toushiro’s head close to her chest. His arms circled her waist.
“Very, very sensitive,” Su adds in the same voice, though her eyes and smiles are as bright as ever. “But I’m happy to see you both, too.” She reaches out to pat the young girl’s head when they’re both by her bedside.
There are approximately 70 different species of sea snakes, and five major types, including Hydrophiids, Laticaudids, Acrochordids, Homalopsids, and the Natricids. They account for 86% of marine reptile species inhabiting the waters. (All the Sea, 2001). They are venomous reptiles that live most of their lives in the sea and are so adapted to that environment that few species of sea snakes can crawl on land. Their eyes are small with most having nostrils that are located dorsally. Most species of sea snakes grow between 120-150 cm as adults and the largest, Hydrophis spiralis reaching up to 9.8 feet. Sea snakes have similar skulls to the snakes living on land, although they have shorter fangs and as many as 18 smaller teeth behind them in the mouth (Wikipedia, 2011). The scales among sea snakes vary between species. Unlike the terrestrial snakes that have imbricate (overlapping) scales to protect against abrasion, the scales of most sea snakes that dwell at pelagic depths do not overlap. Reef dwelling species however, have imbricate scales to protect against the sharp corals and other objects on the sea floor. The scales may be smooth, keeled, spiny or granular (Cyberlizard, 2002).
He simply gazed at her, mouth dropped in shock before collecting himself and reawakening his fury and adding hurt to the chaotic mix of his emotions. “What have I done? Ask not what I have done, but what they have done! They insulted the king of Alexandria! Me!” was his retort, sure she would come to his side now.
Like so many innocent, selfless girls, untouched by the world, I forgave him. The pain dispersing through my body reminded me that I was strong and all I needed to do was heal. I would cry without tears at first, the sadness inside me so intense, that the hollowness in my heart would weigh me down. My heart’s deep hollowness was so immense, that the loudest shrie...
It all started about five years ago when my brother had gotten me a job at the zoo. My whole life I had never really been interested in snakes, I had always thought that they were useless and served no interest to me what so ever. My entire life I had always had a love for animals and wanted to go to vet nary school so I could always be around animals, so Harold had given me a chance to become a zoo keeper.
He hugged her to his chest. ‘Good girl, Number One Drop o’ Water. Second.’ She squeezed his neck and he snuggled his prickly chin under hers. ‘Your heart’s racing like a bloody rabbit.’
"Erik," she murmured, running her porcelain fingers across his twisted face. He used the last of his energy to turn his head towards her, the faintest hint of a smile across his lips. As Erik's gaze joined with Christine's for the ultimate time, he took in a shuddering breath in order to speak.
