Synopsis:
Sitting
there in the car, a part of me bitterly resented what she was doing to
me. I knew it wasn’t her fault. But does she have to be so… alluring?
I need to focus on something else besides the spot between her earlobe
and neck. It looked so soft. Her lips were slightly parted as she looked
out the window. I wanted to part them further with mine. I put both my
hands on the steering wheel. I could not allow myself to let go until
she was out of the car. Suddenly she leaned in and kissed me. It was far
better than I could even begin to explain to you. I’ve fought and died a
slow and painful death on earth. And nothing, NOTHING can compare to
how hard it was for me to pull away from her lips. I don’t think any
angel could to do it twice in a lifetime…

introduced me to the girl. “Marcus, this is Emerson Baxter. She’s gonna help us
save the world.” I looked her over quickly. She was too short. Her hair was a
tangled mess. Her T-shirt had a cartoon pig on it and was ugly and ill-fitted.
I wanted
her.
I wanted to
touch her. My eyes wanted—needed—to see her again, to do nothing more than to
spend the rest of forever getting to know her. Angry at my visceral reaction, I
forced every part of my body to stay put and focus.
What the heck is going on? Why can’t I focus? I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them again. No, still can’t make out the words in
front of me. There was a buzzing in my ear, a painful sound that came from
looking away from her. I didn’t ever want to look away from her.
I didn’t
talk to her, I talked at her. I never
took my face away from the Muse. I told her that we needed to know everything
about her and that she had to stay in crowds. The Akons could not attack her in
crowds. She told me that they came after her already. That enraged me.
Then she
said she wanted to go home. I wondered what her home was like. What kinds of
things she liked. Was she the girly type with tons of teddy bears and scented
writing paper? Or the rock ‘n’ roll poster type who had no problem breaking the
rules? What was her favorite song? Where was she when she first heard it? Who
was she with when she first heard it? Was she with friends? Family? A guy?
Oh no, what if there’s a guy in her life?
