Eternity (Circle of Light) Read Online Free PDF Page B

thoughts bounced around inside my head.  I thought of his blue eyes and his perfect hair framed his face in such an intense way.  His arms were strong and muscular and I wondered what it would feel like to have them wrapped around me.
    He was smart and could hold a conversation about almost anything, even girlie stuff.  He was amazingly thoughtful and very polite.  I don’t think I have ever met anyone quite like him in my life. I felt as though I had known him all my life.  It was a peculiar feeling.  We shared an instant connection to each other.
    Did he really want my picture just for his phone?  Was he as curious about me as I am of him?  I sure hope so, I thought, almost overwhelmed by the idea.  I wanted him to like me.  I wanted to spend more time with him, to get to know him better.
    My body still felt as if I was floating.  I was getting dizzier by the second. The only thoughts I had were of him.  I sighed heavily as I lied back across my bed. I stared at the ceiling thinking of nothing but his face, his amazing face.
    I was abruptly jerked from my daydreaming by the sound of my phone ringing.  It was him, the wonderful guy I had met today, and he was actually calling me.  I flipped open my phone trying to calm the excitement in my voice before I spoke. 
    “Hello?”  I said.              
    “Hey Bailey” he said, sounding relieved. “I was calling to make sure the number you gave me was real.” 
    “Of course it is.  Why would I give you a fake number?” 
    “I don’t know, I just thought you might have.”
    I couldn’t hide the laugh that came out as I said, “I gave you the right number.”
    “Ok then, since that’s out of the way, I guess I'll talk to you another time.”
    “Okay.”  I said trying to hide my amusement, but before I could flip my phone closed a girlish squeal shot out of my mouth.  Why in this world would he even think that I would give him a fake number?  Maybe he has been done that way before or something.  Some girl had probably give him a wrong number and he called it. The embarrassment had to be massive. I wasn’t sure, but the idea of it hurt my feelings in a way I couldn’t describe.  How could a girl not want Eric to call them?  He is so perfect. So far anyway.
    Bright rays of sun belted into my bay window.  This had turned out to be the best day of my life.  Life was good.  That is, until now. 
    Suddenly, a terrible feeling stormed my body.  Any bit of my previous happiness had disappeared.  I grew more uneasy with each passing second. My eyes became heavy and I struggled to breathe as I clutched at my chest.  Darkness fell over me once again.  I felt the coolness of my bed against my back.  Then there was nothing.
    I had been here before.  It’s the same room and the same unending darkness.  This time the feel of it was different.  I was calm instead of terrified.  I sat down waiting on the woman in white to appear, but to my surprise, she didn’t. 
    The lady that appeared was no lady in white.  She was completely dressed in brown. Her hair was the same deep rich color as her gown.  Every movement she made was just as fluid as the white lady and she was just as beautiful.
    Speaking softly, she said, “I am certain you were expecting the Air Queen.  I am Earth Queen.  I, too, will give you a gift as she did.  You can already use the gifts Air Queen gave you.  You can freeze objects as you did the water in your home.” 
    “Hold on just a minute” I said becoming frustrated.  I took a moment to gather my thoughts. “I’m dreaming right?”
    “No,”
    “I was afraid you would say that.”
    “I understand you are frightened by our presence, Princess.  The more power you receive will make it much easier for you to understand.  Each Queen must instill a part of her power in a worthy human.  The line of royalty must be preserved .” she explained.  “Each Light power that you receive comes with a dark
