Fallen Angel-Chapter One- Part Two

I was in front of my house when I noticed that there was a boy walking away from the park that was across the street from my house. He was a little taller than I was, me being five foot four inches, with coal black hair, and frightfully pale skin, his t-shirt was black with blue jeans and navy sneakers. He made a beautiful morning look depressing. He looked so familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it.


He looked up and down the street, and then down at an untied shoe on his left foot. I watched how gracefully he tied a neat bow with the two laces. He stood once more and looked across the street, his eyes landed on me. A curious look aroused in his eyes. He smiled the most perfect smile that I'd ever seen.

I was so deep in his handsome features that I hadn't noticed that he was making his way over to me. I still studied his face as he stopped in front of me. He had pale blue eyes, and his black hair had light brown high lights in it. "Hello," his voice was soft, like a chorus of angels. "I'm Daniel Wilson," he said, sticking out a pale hand. I shook it in return, his skin soft yet cold and frigid.

"Hi," I said breathlessly. He glanced down at my hand still firmly grasping his. He chuckled, using his free hand to remove my steel grip. He handled it so gently, I was quite surprised that he didn't need pliers to remove my hand.

"Hmm... I heard a hello, but... I didn't hear a name," he said sweetly, smiling yet another perfect smile. It took me a moment to regain brain power, before managing to speak again. "I'm Elizabeth. Elizabeth Frederick," I said quietly. Uh oh, I had dork written all over me now.

"Well Elizabeth Frederick, it's very nice to meet you. Join me?" he said motioning to the now empty park just yards away. "I thought you just left there," I said. He continued to smile broadly. "No, just passing by. So, will you care to accompany me to the swings?" he studied my bewildered face.

"I... Um..." should I go with this stranger, or stay in the safety of my home? He looked up from my face to the tan house behind us. "Oh, I apologize. I caught you as you were going home. No matter, you probably don't want to follow a stranger anyway," and exactly how did he know that?

"No, it's alright, maybe I can get to know more about you," I said swiftly. I was telling the truth, I needed more information on this guy. He beamed, and grabbed my hand. And before I new what was happening, he was leading me to the park.
