Restless hours they stirred like a breath, a taunting whisper in the night that called and beckoned to the gypsy. Even in her quiet guardian?s embrace, Rona could not help but feel a disturbance in her spirit. It was something that felt unsettled and lingering as a dark stone within the very pit of her stomach.
Autumn nights the gypsy was accustomed to feeling the subtle chill in the air, but in this hour her skin felt hot to the touch. Flustered and sweat dappled. Had she been dreaming another haunting nightmare? The nightmares had not been in her nights since she had found Kusinage and the demon had left her spirit. Yet, still there remained a sense of foreboding that she could not shake. For days now it had stayed with her, that ominous feeling that left her cautious and wary, and unbeknownst to her love the predominant reason why she remained inside their home rather then venturing out in her common pull of wanderlust to dwell amongst others.
Slowly and carefully she managed to uncurl and remove herself from his embrace, dusky fingers pushing the sweat tousled charcoal of her hair from her face as night emerald eyes lingered on his sleeping form, the way the moonlight chased the cruel and beautiful lines of his scarred back. A soft exhale was breathed out as her arms ensnared her own waist and she hugged herself. She could not risk losing him again, it was something that she would face hell and fury for if it meant fighting to stay with him forever and always.
For so long and so many years, even when apart the gypsy had loved him. Now spending those nights with him, knowing of the quiet passion kindled and the deep binding love that they shared, there was no reason or desire for her to stray from his side. He was home to her now.
A quiet tapping drew her attention, brows arching in question at the familiar presence of her raven. Birds of Omen the ravens were known to be, and Bey had kept her safe in many unexpected conditions that Rona found herself in. She moved to step outside of the house then, wrist offered out as a resting place for the raven to perch on as they shared their silent commune.
Stepping out into the night, Rona could not shake that chilling sensation that ran like ice water down her back. Knowing well enough that the feeling had nothing to do with the cold of an autumn night but of something far more violent and cruel.
