The Son of Styx - Chapter 24

Aaron's POV
After sleeping behind a dirty, rat infested dumpster in the middle of a dirty alleyway, sleeping on the uncomfortable, old couch was sheer bliss.

After i got back and we had something hot to eat, Sara told us about how she didn't remember much after she fell uncoinscious, she didn't even know why she fell uncoinscious...but i had the idea she was hiding something. Anyway we all went to sleep, Sara took the first bed and Dustin took the second bed, i was pretty used to this lumpy old couch so i just got a spare blanket and pillow and just lay down.

I threw my dirty clothes away till i was only in my black boxers, i slept like a baby honestly.

A few hours later i woke up, i relised that was the first time i had a dreamless night...it was almost as if i was cut off from my dreams, I got up and walked down the black hotel room and into the bathroom, i washed my hands and splashed some water in my face, i looked at myself in the mirror, black hair with white streaks and snow white skin...i looked like a corpse to me.

Suddenly the door opened and Sara, wearing a white nightgown, walked right into me while she was rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

She yelped a bit as she collided with me and then looked at me "Oh...Aaron, sorry i...i thought you were still asleep" "I just woke up...i was just splashing some water in my face, trying to get the shock of the day out of my mind" Sara nodded, i relised that this was the first pretty piece of clothing she has actually worn...well around me "I didn't know you were into those type of clothes" I smirked and she glared at me "I am a girl Aaron, sometimes i want to look like one" I put my hands up in surrender "Its just not like you, thats all"

She sighed "There are many things about me that would surprise you Aaron" I raised an eyebrow in curiousity "Such as?" Sara shrugged "Thats for you to figure out" She then walked out and i followed her, she turned and suddenly noticed i was half-naked, she blushed "Put some clothes on for gods sake, if Dustin wakes up and he see's us like this...." "Like this? we're doing nothing...don't you mean like this?" I took her hands and pulled her close, wrapping my arm around her waist and kissing her, her eyes widened and she pulled away.

"Aaron i-" "I want your answer now Sara...do you want to be with me or not?" She stared at me for a moment then looked down.

"I....I...."
