Rise of the Darkness

After Ethan was done in the gym, he stretched his body and made his way upstairs. He wanted to take a shower before dinner. He went to his room and was about to enter the bathroom when the sweet smell of fresh berries reached his nostrils. Inhaling it deeply, he filled his lungs with it. He knew Calla was around. He made his way to the closet and found her standing in nothing but a towel, that reached to her upper thigh. She was in deep thoughts, she was swaying her hips in a rhythm. It was like she was playing a song in her own head and dancing with the rhythm. Ethan slowly made his way to her, it was like his feet dragging him to her. She picked a t-shirt from his closet and turned around and bumped into Ethan. She looked at him through her thick lashes, her cheeks were pink.

Ethan controlled himself, took the shirt from her hand and made her wear it. Once done he purposely pulled the towel off of her body. Her heart would have jumped out of her ribcage as his fingers brushed lightly on her bare thigh. Blushing hard, she lowered her gaze. Ethan chuckled and said. "I wanted this towel." Calla knew she saw three more towels, hanging in the bathroom, so why would he need this towel. Ethan turned around and walked away.

He stopped at the door and without even looking at her he spoke again in a teasing voice. "It looks cute on you, you can keep it." Saying that he left her in the closet and rushed into the bathroom.

Calla smiled and exited the closet. Ethan heard her happy humming and groaned in frustration. She had no idea, he had already turned on when he saw her swaying her hips in the closet and now this humming was too much for him to handle. He sighed and let cold water run all over his body to calm his desires. He had never felt this way before. His master used to tell him everything about love and the one who is made for you. He also told him that sometimes, it becomes really hard to control the desire. He shook his head and continued with cold water running down his body. He came out of the bathroom and changed into comfy jeans and shirt. A familiar aroma hit his nostrils and in the next second, he was standing in the kitchen. Calla was cooking pasta, still humming. She turned around and screamed when she saw Ethan standing behind her. Making an annoyed face she spoke. "Don't sneak like that, you scared me."

Ethan smirked and replied. "I will try but no promises." Calla rolled her eyes on him knowing there is no way to win from him.

Ethan took his seat on the dining table and kept looking at her. She dished the pasta in two plates and came to the dining table. She sat on a chair beside him and they ate in silence. After dinner Calla went back to the room, not sure if she could sleep in his room. Ethan came into the room to take the spare pillow. Ethan didn't leave the room, he went to the couch and laid down. He pulled the comforter on his body and closed his eyes. Calla smiled and went to the bathroom to do her night business. She returned back and laid down on the soft bed. She pulled the comforter over her small figure. She thought about her friend right next to her room. She was worried about her. As if Ethan heard her loud and clear, without opening his eyes, he replied in a soft tone. "You will see her in the morning. She'll be fine by then." A small smile made its way to her lips. Calla also closed her eyes and drifted off.

"Aunt Cal…" Calla heard Sophie called her name playfully. She looked around, it was dark and she found herself into a dark yet beautiful forest.

"Aunt Cal, if you don't find me this time, you'll lose."

"It was just a dream Calla. And I will be there even if you need my help in your dreams." Her eyes widened when she heard him. It felt so real yet it was just a dream, a very horrible dream. Tears welled in her baby eyes when she remembered she saw her niece in that dream. Ethan pulled her in his lap and wrapped his arms around her. She buried her face in his chest and sobbed hard. He held her tightly and

was holding his hand tightly, he didn't want to wake her up. Ethan also laid beside her on the bed, pulled her small figure close

around his waist like this but naked. He gulped the hard lump that was formed in his throat when he imagined her soft skin rubbing his hard body. He groaned in frustration and slowly tried getting himself free from her hold. He crawled out of the bed and went to the bathroom. He knew he had to take a cold shower again. He came out of the bathroom, just a towel hanging on his waist dangerously. Calla gasped as she looked at him and her cheeks turned pink. She hid her face in her hands and ran into the bathroom. Ethan chuckled and went to the closet to wear his clothes. Calla sighed
