Her face was basking in the sun's light... The flowers all around her filled the air with beautiful scents, her body was laying lightly on the blanket she laid on the ground so that she won't get stained by the dirt. However, something unearthly was there, an eerie being... The little god sat in a corner and watched with awe how beautiful a mortal woman could be... She surpassed every deity, every nymph...
He wanted to get close to her, talk to her. He has been watching over her for two years. Here is where he saw her for the first time, in this illuminated part of the forest... He yearned to touch her golden hair, kiss her red lips... He approached and sat next to her without her knowing he was really there... Then he slowly began to chuck her face and a quiver passed through her body. She thought it was due to the cold that suddenly fell over the place, so she didn't budge... Even though she had her eyes closed, he knows how they look like... She has the most innocent look, one of a little girl that doesn't know how evil the world is... Knowing she won't hear him, he whispered once more, "I love you...", but was immediately surprised by the overthrow of the situation... The girl, without opening her eyes, answered in his words... The words "I love you too..." came out of her lips. Upon hearing these words, he opened his eyes wide open and hope filled his soul... But, quickly, her light breath made him realize that she was deeply sleeping... The little god seized the chance and softly, like touching an infant, gave her the sweetest kiss...
No matter how many years go by, he would always love this mortal existence,he was sure about that... Unfortunately, the only way to have her as his own is to kill her by himself. But he would never do that to her... He wants to let her live... To marry a man worthy of her beauty and have gorgeous children with him, that may look like her...
He knew he was doing something illegal. If someone found out what he was doing,his punishment would be awful... But he was indifferent, he loved her...
Some instant, after many hours of sitting and staring at her, she opened her eyes and turned her fairy face towards him. A smile carved on her lips , like she knew he was there... He shed tears of happiness, but then her mother's voice sounded from the distance calling her to join her family in the car, which they finally managed to repair. She started running towards it... She opened the door and entered the car... She waved her parents with the happiest look... Until she sees and remembers again... In the front mirror, her burned and malformed face was mirrored once again... She bent her head to avoid seeing it... But then she recalled the day of the accident...
Her father had lost control of his car and in an effort not to fall into an incoming vehicle, threw the car against a tree... Her parents went out to estimate the damage that was created, but she remained within... The family car suddenly exploded and caught fire... She can't remember anything else... Nor how she was saved... Only that she saw a strange dream before waking up...
Once more, she raised her eyes watching her idol looking at her, full of ugliness, since everything on her was deformed... But the little god next to her, was looking at her pretty face, full of love and worship, once again...
