Thanks!

He stared into her eyes those eyes that were unfathomably deep and consuming, and trying his hardest to tell her what he was thinking, all he could manage was a kind of gulping sound that had escaped his throat.
A betrayal of breath, he thought to himself.
What was she thinking letting him stare at her like this? Doesn’t she know how easy it is to get lost in those deep violet eyes of hers? He couldn’t believe the power that he felt draining woozily from his soul.
She just stood there merely inches from his face with a smirk that lasted only at her mouth. As if the smile never reached her eyes.
“Did you have something that you wanted to ask me Seth?” questioned Athene knowing very well what she was doing.
Alright you…you…GIRL…I don’t know where you came from or why you have decided to follow...no STALK me… but I think it’d be best to go our separate ways from now on. And if you have a problem with that I don’t care, because, just because you are beautiful doesn’t mean that you can get away with being clingy, and let’s face it…a little creepy!
All those thoughts running in Seth’s head, all those things that he wanted to scream at this violet eyed awkward girl and all that came out was another gulp, this time more of a choke. Athene just sat there staring at Seth wondering when it was that she could get him to break. Maybe if I stare at you like this, and she squinted her eyes in crescent shapes trying to see into the boys mind. Or maybe you like it like THIS, and she proceeded to open her eyes wide showing the full force of their violet vehemence.
Seth just sat there incredulously almost turning a hint of blue and he finally realized that he had stopped breathing. He strained his eyes and tried to force them out of the path of Athene’s but the girl held them where they could be stable.
His initial thought was that he was dying, and when he sat there unable to blink he realized that wasn’t the case, not at all. Although he was not able to intake any breath outwardly oddly enough oxygen was still flowing in and out of his lungs.
Athene, unable to unlock this boys mind, was getting very frustrated at the fact that she had never failed before. So she tried harder than she ever had, concentrating on a key turning in circles trying to unlock this boys head.
There must be something very wrong with you Sethus Morgan.
She pushed once more trying to break through, and with no budge, she released his gaze.
Seth Stumbled and automatically reached to surround his hands around his throat. Even though he had been able to breathe, it wasn’t voluntary, and it felt as if something had taken over his body. This girl who had been following him everywhere he went, who had the audacity to trick him into even looking in her direction had just made the wrong move. The boy regained his poise and stared directly at the violet eyed girl. She no longer wore her smirk as she looked as if she had finally realized something she was trying to figure out in her mind. Athene, as if she had heard a faint warning, wore a face of shock and horror and she dodged out of the way of Seth’s arms trying to strangle her.
As fast as Seth had advanced on Athene, she was gone. All that was left of the violet eyed girl was a whirl of charcoal colored dust still twirling around and finally it dissipated into nothing. Seth stood at the exact spot where the girl had vanished and quickly thought to himself,
If I knew that all I had to do to get rid of her was try to kill her, I would have tried that hours ago.
He quickly pushed that thought out of his mind and moved his face into a contorted posture. He wouldn’t allow his old self to even touch the surface of his new life.
A Ruby colored flash distracted Seth, and sent his vision to the west of him. He scanned the area to see where the flash could have come from but found nothing. It almost saddened him to think that he was alone again. Even though he hated Athene it was at least company. It had been years since he had anything more than a sideways glace in his direction. Another burst of ruby this time to his east side had shone a reflection off a broken shard of glass. Seth whipped his head up and turned to make the reflection out but it was only a piece of broken glass. He brought his sleeve up to his head and wiped off a long bead of sweat from his forehead. When he brought his arm back down the ruby color had this time flashed in the lower corner of his vision.
Am I crazy?
As he tried to explain these freak ruby appearances he felt a trickle of liquid fall and hit his shoe. Absently he looked down to inspect the liquid and saw that it was strangely the tint of ruby. Stricken with curiosity the boy shook his foot around in circles
