Project: Awaken

Chapter 1: Dreaming

The wind gently blew into my face as I walked on by the lonely cemetery. I heard my name on the lips of the wind, calling me. I looked around trying to solve this little mystery.

The wind suddenly stops blowing but I still hear my name. The voice sounded old yet young. I stop and faced the long stretch cemetery. Time stood still as I saw a figure rise up from its spot.

I should've moved I should not have stop. The figure started towards me. The sun had set, it's the twilight hour. The insects are quiet, everything is so still. The figure stops at the tall iron fence peering out through the bars at me. It reached out as if to touch me but it beckoned me to it.

"Nuqia?" it said. I was stunned, this figure could speak. I stared at it as approached it.

"How do you know my name?" I stood in front of it and looked up. This close up I could tell this figure was male and he smelled of lavender.

The moon only just begun to rise but it was full and bright, casting light onto the cemetery. The man was 6'2, tall, slender yet muscled, high cheekbones, straight and narrow nose, thin lips with piercing blue eyes. His skin was awfully pale yet looked flawless. His hair was black and cut short giving him a boyish look. But to me he looked like a dark angel.

"Nuqia..." he whispered. He closed his eyes with a pain expression. I instinctively reached out with both my hands and tenderly touched his cheeks. His skin was cool to the touch and I notice just me touching him eased the pain expression from his face.

"Oh, how I long for you to touch me just this once..." his words rung a familiar bell in my ear.

"Jason Halwick?" I whispered. He gave me a little smile. I stared at his face wishing that he'll open his eyes. As if hearing my wish he opened them. They were aglow, a soft blue light. I started to say something but he cut in.

"I was hoping I'll get to see you one last time and I have." He whispered leaning in to kiss me. I leaned in as well and receive the kiss. Drawing back we looked at each other and then Jason started to fade.

"I will always love you..."

"Jason..." I mumbled my eyes glazing over on their own accord. When Jason was completely gone, the night picked up again as if it was normal.

The wind blew gently and on it I heard Jason's voice saying my name.
