Landon laid on the rocks next to the waterfall. The spray splashed over him, soaking his clothes, but he didn't really care. He closed his eyes, basking in the warm sunlight.((He's just asking for someone to startle him and make him fall into the water ;) ))
Mod
For a moment she thought of causing this spot-and only this spot-to rain. Would that be foul play? she asked herself, without much conviction. I could just push him... she pondered, watching him for a second more. At least then I wouldn't be doing anything a normal girl wouldn't...he's practically begging for it.
And with that-the boy was sent into the water.
Landon fell off the rocks with a yell and sank under the surface of the water. He emerged, only to be pushed under by the force of the waterfall. He eventually climbed out of the water and back onto the rocky earth. landon stood up and stared at the girl who had pushed him. "What was that for?" he asked in disbelief.
Mod
Landon rolled his eyes. "Don't act so innocent. I know it was you," he said, walking over to her. "Can't a guy relax without being pushed under waterfalls?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Mod
"Being shoved under a waterfall was pretty dramatic for me," he said taking a step towards her. "Better not slip," he said, taking another step closer and tappign her shoulder just enough to make her topple backwards over the edge. He stretched out his hands and stopped her before she hit the the water. He brought her back to the rocks and set her down gently. "Now tell me that wasn't dramatic," he said.
Mod
"Maybe it was a little bit dramatic." she sidestepped, and flipped over the edge. It only took her ten seconds to resurface on the other side of the water. "Or your an over exaggerating whiner." she added, thankful for the distance.
Landon laughed and jumped in after her. He resurfaced a few feet away from her. "I keep calling you 'girl who pushed me into a waterfall' in my head, but I'm sure your real name is much shorter," he said, floating on his back.
Mod
She had the strong urge to push him under, but was pretty sure he'd be able to dunk her first. Ali inched backwards, intimidated by his looks, strength, and whether he meant it or not--charm.
"Nice to meet you Ali," he said, still floating on his back. "I'm Landon. Most me Landon," he added with a smile. "So, what were you doing here, I mean, besides hunting for unsuspecting victims."
Mod
Landon ducked underwater then resurfaced a few seconds later. He pulled his shirt over his head and threw it onto the rocks. "If you wanted me to take my clothes off, all you had to do was ask," he said with a laugh.
Mod
"Yeah, I know," Landon said, smiling. He swam up behind her and splashed her quickly before ducking underwater again.
Mod
Landon emerged by the edge of the water. "Are you going to stay in there all day? It's getting pretty cold," Landon said, looking up at the now cloudy sky.
Mod
"Suit yourself," Landon said, pulling himself out of the water. As he walked over to retrieve his wet shirt, a ray of sunshine peeked past the clouds and shone on his bare back, highlighting the long scars on his back and neck.
Mod
Landon heard her voice clearly, as if she was standing right next to him. He turned, saw her expression and realized immediately what she had been looking at. He hastily put on his shirt. "I'm not- It's not what it looks like," he said, sighing. Great, she probably thinks I'm some psycho killer or something.
Mod
Landon smiled kindly at her. "No, you don't," he said simply. "I wish I could tell you what happened, but the truth is," he paused and ran a hand through his hair. "I- I don't know," he said, his tone the complete opposite of his former, charming, self. He sat down at the edge of the water.
Mod
Landon hesitated for a moment. "I can't remember anythign before a year ago," he finally told her. "My memory is completely blank. I woke up in the forest, and these scars, well, let's just say these wounds took a while to heal."
Mod
Landon shrugged. "I have no one else to tell," he said. "And if you were going to run away screaming, you'd probably have done it by now," he added, smiling.
Mod
Landon laughed and rolled his eyes. "Sure sure," he said. Then he frowned. "Actually, I'm really surprised that you caught me off guard. I must have been really out of it. My senses are usually very acute." Landon noticed her reaching for him and extended his hand. Just before their hands touched, he moved his and flicked water into her face. "Nice try."
Mod
Landon met her eyes and returned her smile. "You know practically my whole life story, what little of it is left anyway, and I still know nothing about you, other than your name," he said, stretching his legs out and dipping his feet in the water.
Mod
"That was very formal," Landon said. "What about powers?" he asked.
Mod
Landon watched as her hair fell down onto her shoulders. "That's not fair, you already know two of mine," he said, pouting.
Mod
Landon frowned. "Um, did you miss the part when I pushed you over the edge of the rocks and then pulled you back over? Yeah, that's called telekinesis," he said slowly. "And the acute senses thing I was talking about? I can hear that bird's heart beating," he told her.
Mod
Ali's eyes flashed up, and rays of sunshine diminished the cloud until it was completely transparent. The entire clearing of the waterfall shined with light, and the wind picked up. The weather intensified, and it started to downpour.
Then she looked back to Landon and everything went quiet and still, as if it had never happened.
Landon looked up at her, eyebrows raised. "Wow. That was pretty amazing," he said. He shivered a little, even though the sun was back up, his clothes were still wet and cold. He stood up. "You wanna get out of here?" he asked.
Mod
Landon shrugged. "I have no idea. You choose."
Mod
Landon frowned. "I'm not hanging out with you because I have to," he told her.
Mod
Landon sighed. "Okay, well, if you insist on wandering through the dark woods all alone, without the help of your knight in shining armor," he said.
Mod
"Me neither," Landon said. "It's a miracle you're still alive."
Mod
Landon walked over to the tree and looked up at her. "I bet you've never seen a more handsome damsel in distress," he said with a smile.
