The icy wind stripped her skin to bone and crops of goose bumps dotted her bare arms and legs. She guarded her skirt from filling with air and exposing her most private of places. She pulled her blouse closed at her neck, and while doing so, felt her sharp hard nipples beneath the cotton cloth brush the inside of her wrist..

As she tried to get conscious of her surroundings a dark shadow loomed in the distance............she could not recognise who it was but a noise startled her and she closed her eyes and opened them to get startled to her bone .......................

the shadow was fast approaching her then it vanished startling her even more

lets see who adds more to the story :)

She felt as if she would crumble to the ground. She pulled her hair back in order to see beyond the curls.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and spinned around, only to feel the long finger of a tree reaching toward her from its thick trunk.

The owls hooted in the moonlit night while strange sounds filled the atmosphere.She wished it all to be a dream and hoped that ahe was at home.Amidst all these thoughts more sounds started coming from a few metres away......................as she tried to move in the direction the dark shadow appeared and blocked her vision.............when she reopened her eyes she was startled and so shocked that she became unconscious............

The feeling of suffocation forced her eyes open. The view was amber and ebony, her body, pressed and warmed by heavy layers of fine bedding.

Her eyes focused on a single flame.

welcome...

as a dark song wove through still night air. Soft breaths pass as the breeze came in cool as silky like flowing water taking away the sting of the sun's fire...

She blinked her eyes hard from the sun that was glaring through the window. Her hands ran along the lines of the fine linen bedding that covered her and she wondered aloud how she had gotten here. She was just about to get out of the bed to close the window from the cooler breeze when she heard a low, soft, but masculine voice telling her that she should leave the window open a little to help her clear her head some more....especially after last night. She was a little shaken as she turned to the voice. But even moreso as she realized that under those fine linen covers... she was wearing nothing.

She shifted and then rolled over toward the voice. His voice was like velvet and it soothed her. Her eyes closed while she focused on the tone and breath of his voice.

It was like music, his voice. Every pause and initiation of a new sentence was like a strangely familiar song.

The figure speaking wore a veil. He had long black hair and stone black eyes that drew her eyes in. His scarf was azure blue and it draped around his neck softly. She could see the veil move as he spoke, as a boat's sail from a soft breeze would.

She took a deep breath herself and managed a wispy "Who are you?"

He turned around and looked at her and just got lost in the beauty of her eyes and her innocence..he took a few breaths before answering her.............when she heard his name a few images flashed before her eyes and she fell unconscious again ............as she fell unconscious he moved as swift as a panther........and lay her down gently to let her sleep...............

He touched her lightly on her forehead and then traced her eye brow, continuing along her cheek, to her lips.

Then he stood motionless as he noticed how the sun created his figure's shadow laying next to her, together, in the bed.

He gently stood up wiped his tears and moved away from her and went out of the room closing the door slightly behind him without making a noise.............he moved down the treehouse and kept crying and crying.................it was difficult to understand why he kept crying ..........there was some secret buried in his heart..............

Wow.. this is so cool.. can anybody join this thread... ok.. just in case..

As this beautiful creature slumbers atop the bed where he places her in such sweet innocence, her nakedness without shame overwhelms him. She is as lovely and delicate as he imagined, and the veiled man determines now that she’s finally within his grasp to possess, his dark shadow will forever remain by her side as they are now… as he longingly gazes upon her face she begins to stir and opens her eyes to see him standing over her, but more than that she feels an intensely deep passion emanating from his shadow that’s reflecting against her body as she lays there exposed to his control, and she instinctively knows nothing will ever be the same from this night onward…

The veiled man reveals himself to be called The Shadow and whispers in her ears.............that he has never seen such a beautiful lady like her............he gazes down at her face and kisses her forehead and bids her good night and goes to a corner of the room from where he looks at her and takes guard at night...............night falls and the sun rises over the horizon......when a strange thing happens................

As The Shadow whispers to and kisses her, he reaches across and gently pulls the sheet up off the bed placing it over the naked body of this most beautiful treasure he has ever beheld. Almost immediately as all fear dissipates from within her, she is calmed by the Shadow’s protectiveness toward her, and as she watches him walk toward his guarding position in the darkened corner of her room, she’s too filled with wonder to even try to close her eyes again in sleep… when suddenly…

The shadow hears a knock at the door and in an instant reaches out for it and opens it and sees his servant calling him for dinner..............the shadow refuses to eat alone and until the lady sleeping in his room is better and is conscious again...............he asks his servant not to disturb them till noon as the lady was sleeping peacefully............after this conversation he moves back to his position and takes guard.........in his heart he vows to protect her at all costs............night falls....and then dawn breaks bringing with it a profound happiness............

The Shadow, fearing for the lady’s well being, decides to call in the local doctor to see why this beautiful woman can’t seem to stay awake… especially now that her unconscious state is interfering with his dinner… and once the doctor pokes around and examines her he tells The Shadow this... about her delicate condition...

The doctor asked the man how he came upon such a creature. The Shadow responded with that evenings activities. He had been on a late night walk along the roadside when he witnessed an auto accident involving a small car and a tree. He continued to tell the doctor about the young woman's exit from the car and her walk towards town. He went on to explain her behavior as being a bit odd as well as her uneven steps forward and finally her collapse.

The doctor assessed a mild concussion of the head and advised bed rest. "She may also suffer from shock and nausea. You must watch her closely and notify me of any changes for the worse", the doctor whispered.

They shook hands, and the Shadow paid him in gold.

"I will take care of my fine Orchid" he promised.
He then returned to the dark corner and sat down.

Now that the Shadow and the Orchid’s paths have crossed most unexpectedly, he with his strong will and unique desire is determined to keep her safe until she regains her strength to be on her way and out of his life forever… but she in her appearance of innocence has already cast a spell on the Shadow’s mind… will he be able to watch her leave him when she is able… he contemplates this matter as Orchid opens her eyes and looks over toward where she last saw the dark figure she thought was a dream… and once focusing in his direction, her eyesight sharpened on him, and she asked… “Where am I?” “How did I get Here?” “Where are my clothes?”…

The shadow revealed himself as the owner of the house she was in and that he had brought her to his house 2 nights ago when she had been lying down in the forest unconscious ........having cuts and bruises all over her body and her clothes half burnt.The Shadow further explained that he had his maids remove her clothes so that medicine be applied to her wounds and apologised to her for having put her in such condition......he looked at her in such a way with care that her heart melted and she listened to him clearly..............The Shadow said "My dearest lady i had no intention of keeping you here but your wounds were such that you needed immediate medical attention.....I beg your pardon my lady but you have to rest here until you are perfectly alright."He also said that she will be taken care of and tended to by his maid-servants .........just as he was speaking to her there was a knock on the door............The Shadow opened the door to allow a maid-servant in..........she had come to give the lady a bath and to apply medicines to her wounds....The lady looked at the Shadow and in an instant he understood what she wanted to say and went out of the room leaving the lady and the maid alone.......The lady smiled and felt happy being cared for by the Shadow........and then she feel asleep again.......she awoke when there was a knock on the door
