Planet: Earth

Location: Somewhere in Camp Jameson

"Where are we?" I focused on a small shed in front of us. James smiled and unlocked the door then takes my hand and tugs me inside. "Is this the place I will be staying? An empty shed?" I questioned entering the shed that had nothing in it.

"No," he simply replied. Using his right foot he began pushing the dirt to the side revealing some kind of hatch beneath it. "This is where we will be staying." James turned the handle of the hatch and opens it. "Might be a bit damp down here and watch your step."

My hands gripped the railing as I descended down the ladder into the darkness with James above me. He closes the hatch engulfing us both in darkness.

"Shit, I thought I had a bloody torch!" He groaned.

I could hear him shuffle around on the ladder. "James, I can help." I closed my eyes allowing the energy within me to surface on my right arm. "Is this bright enough?" I asked reopening my eyes to find my entire right arm was emitting a white glow from the energy pulsing through it.

We were in a tunnel that was just a few metres wide, the ladder was right in the middle.

"Babe, you're so amazing," James said from above me. "Keep going down, the bottom isn't that far."

I climbed further down the ladder. My feet hit the concrete floor and I looked up to find James almost down the bottom.

The veins on my right arm glowed with the energy flowing through it. I could not help but stare at the way the energy runs beneath my skin. It was beautiful but beauty comes with a price and this one was with the ability to destroy.

I have ended so many lives since finding out about this power, I have caused so much pain for my people, perhaps it was a blessing my parents sent me away. But now because of me, I have endangered this planet, I have become an enemy of myself.

"Jewels?" His hand lands on my shoulder and turns me around so that I was facing him. I could not stop the tears that spilled over the brims of my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"You would not understand," I sniffled. I dared not to look into his eyes because I would end up crying more, knowing I could bring danger to him. "This confuses me."

I could feel his fingers under my chin, he lifts it up but I close my eyes. "Hey, look at me."

"James, please."

"What's wrong, Jewels?" His breath fans across my face, he must be so close. "Baby, open your eyes."

My eyes slowly opened only to find his own eyes scanning my face. "I am sorry, I do not know why I am like this."

"It's okay." He used the back of his thumb to wipe away my tears. "Explain your feelings." James takes my hand in his and we begin to walk along a corridor.

"How can I explain something I do not know?" I was interested in learning how humans do this, knowing how to explain these feelings.

James turned his head towards me as we continued down the corridor, leading to a small door at the end. "Well." He stopped causing me to stand still. Turning his body to face me, James cups my face. "Do you feel anything when I do this?" He leans in connecting our lips.

I could not help but say yes against his lips as my hands sling around his neck.

"And how about his?" I could feel one of his hands grip my right hip, gently squeezing it. "What do you feel when I touch you?" he asked, breaking the kiss he moves to my neck and begins to leave kisses along it.

James placed his remaining hand on my hip and lifts me up onto his waist, he continues to kiss my neck, sucking on a spot every now and again. "Do you like this, baby?"

"James," was all I managed to say and wrapped my legs tightly around his torso, my breathing quickening. "I-I feel something, but I cannot explain it."

"It feels good, yeah?" he mumbled between kisses as his hands hold me. I could feel him walk backwards until my back was pressed against a wall. I did not answer, so he asked again, "You like this, right? Me touching you? Kissing you?"

"Yes, James, I do." It was the truth, I do like it but words could not explain my feelings. "I have never felt anything like I do towards you."

He placed kisses on my neck before his lips moved up to my earlobe. "I love you, Jewels," he whispered into my ear right then leaves kisses along my cheek before his lips find mine.

We were forced to pull away due to the intensity of the kiss and loss of oxygen. James places me back on the ground then takes my face between his fingers. "So you do feel something with me?"

"I do, but I cannot explain it." I leaned my forehead against his. "It is just all new to me, these feelings."

"You're learning, babe." He reached up and tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "You'll learn our emotions."

He goes to turn around but I grabbed his wrist. "James?" When he hummed in response and his eyes locked with mine, closing my eyes briefly I parted my lips and said, "I want to learn to love you."

I think Jewels is going crazy...
Then again I'm not sure who I prefer her with.....

What about you? Who do you think would be perfect for our Everotornian?
