Rewrite The Stars - The Greatest Showman Soundtrack
ââââââââââ
"Usually when they say in clichè books about boys literally climbing through windows, they don't actually mean it!" I scream at the hooded-boy that is hanging from my window.
He rolls his eyes at me as I make my way over to the window. Unclasping it and opening it wide enough for him to climb through.
"Dude! Why are you here!" I shout at him,
Ltrying to cover my semi-nude body. After all, I only had on a white bra and sports leggings - I was half-way through putting clothes on after my shower when the dark-haired boy so rudely interrupted me.
Hunter stood next to my window, his eyes completely black.
His hand was twitching as he trying to keep control of it, something was wrong. His face and neck were covered in dark veins as if he was trying to resist something. What was he trying to resist?
The voice in the back of my head answered that question - for I already knew. You Cecelia, he's trying to resist you.
Hunter looked up from the ground and slowly made his way towards me, backing me up against the wall with nowhere to run. His body towering over me as I didn't stand chance against his height.
He very quickly brought both hands up to either sides of my head and slammed them into the wall. Causing it to shake and my breathing to stop. I swallowed hard.
I should've been afraid. Should've.
"Hunter...w-what is it." I stuttered, breathing in heavily at how close his face was to mine. It was uncomfortably close, he was a stranger to me. Someone that I barely knew, but yet - was so attracted to in every way possible.
Hunter swallowed hard, and looked me in the eyes with his pitch-black ones. "Y-you can't leave me." He spoke, his voice disorientated.
I narrowed my eyes at him, confused as to what he was talking about. " y-you can't, I won't be alone...I need to protect you." He stuttered, careful with what he said. His arms were shaking beside me.
He released a heavy sigh as the anger in him seemed to cool down." You.... you're going back." Hunter spoke lightly, the hurt showing clear as day.
"You don't understand how hard it is." He spoke heavily, his hands now crushed into fists as his anger returned. I stared at him with watery eyes.
"H-how hard what is?" I asked as confidently as I could, obviously struggling with my own voice.
"How hard it is..." he started, but stopped as he clenched his jaw tightly together as he averted his eyes to my bra. "H-how hard it is not to take you right here, right in this very room and mate with you."
"To make you mine and only mine for the rest of our silly lives together, y-you smell so good and I'm starting to loose control-l, Cece if you don't run n-now I'll do something you'll r-regret." He struggled, pushing himself off of me and giving me enough time to escape.
But I didn't budge.
Instead I placed both of my hands at the side of his face. Cupping his sharp jaw as I ran my fingers over his sharp cheekbones.
Hunter shut his eyes. Whatever I was doing was working, he seemed to be calming down.
I placed my thumbs up to his eyes and instructed him to open them and look at me. When he did, they were no longer the full, terrifying black. But we're instead the light blue that I had grown to love.
I brought his forehead down to mines and we stood there, panting loudly in silence as we connected in that small moment.
I hadn't remembered a thing about this boy, but I knew that I had known him. Deep down I knew those bright blue eyes very well.
For they were mine, they belonged to me.
The silence was broken when Hunter became his demanding self. "I'm coming with you." He stated, still keeping his head on mine. I didn't want to argue, I was enjoying being to close to him to argue.
Everything about him was perfect. From the way his head would sometimes tilt when he laughed to the cheeky grins he was capable of, and I wasn't even gonna get started on the body.
He brought his hands to my facets lightly traced my cheeks. My overly-red, puffy checks that didn't have a smudge of makeup on them. Why would they? I was just out the shower....I was still in my Bra.
Panicking, I lifted my hands to cover myself but was stopped abruptly when Hunter grabbed both of them, and returned them to my side. I looked up at him and began breathing heavily. This boy was far too good looking for his own good.
It explained why he was so cocky most of the time.
"D-don't cover yourself...." He stuttered, looking me straight in the eyes as he brought his hands to cup my face. He was so close to me...so close. His lips were right there...
My breathing intensified, I couldn't help it. I was far worse than him. Hunter had managed to control not mating me right here, right now.
But I wouldn't be able to do the same, I wanted too, so badly.
"Why, why shouldn't I cover myself?" My confidence was broken, Hunter was such a beautiful creature and being anywhere near him immediately made me self-cautious.
He was so beautiful.
Hunter chucked to himself and flashed his white grin at me, I had to force myself to look away from his lips. He noticed this, and his eyes got just a little bit darker.
"Cece, you shouldn't cover yourself because... you're beautiful." He spoke as tears began to form in his beautiful eyes. His hands slowly made their way down from my neck to the tops of my shoulders and down to my wrists.
"If only you could remember us...." He spoke lightly, almost whispering as his hands stopped at my bruised ribs. He looked worried.
"Di-did she do this to you?" Hunter asked softly as he lightly traced his fingers up and down my exposed ribs. I immediately looked downwards, ashamed at my weakness.
I ignored the goosebumps that were appearing on every inch of exposed skin around my body. Every tingle that the top of his fingertips gave me, his touch was exhilarating.
I breathed in heavily as his fingers came across of the top of my chest lightly, he knew exactly what he was doing and he was watching my every reaction with extreme concentration. Analysing my every breath.
He brought his hand up to my face and pushed away a strand of wet hair, a thing he clearly enjoyed to do. He enjoyed touching me as much as I enjoyed him doing it.
I closed my eyes as he brought my head upwards towards his, making me look him directly in the eyes. He was so close...so close to my face.
Hunter smiled at me, his cute little grin that he always did as he tilted his head slightly. "You're almost there..." He brightly spoke. His entire face slightly up as his eyes became a lighter shade of blue.
"Almost there....?" I questioned him, narrowing my eyebrows at him as I had no idea what he was talking about. He grinned again, finding my confusion cute.
I was still in my bra people, still half-naked.
"You're so close to coming back to me, you don't even realise it but every second more I spend with you, you come back to me." He stopped,
"Don't you feel it?" He laughed, kissing me gently on the forehead.
I didn't know what to say, how would I describe something when I couldn't even think of words to use to describe it.
"Hunter...I don't know, I still cannot remember a single memory which involves you," I paused when I saw the hurt in Hunters eyes showing very clearly. "But what I do know," I spoke confidently, " is how I feel about you."
Hunter then took off his shirt and placed it over me, obviously noticing how awkward I was being. Him however, taking his off was just a distraction for me.
Hunter led me over to my bed and sat beside me, entwining his hands with mine as he lightly stroked them. He let out a loud sigh which immediately caught my attention.
"If only we could rewrite the stars...." He frowned, "You were meant to be mine."
"Hunter..."
"No Cecelia, you were meant to be mine. I am coming with you to the Ferolc Kingdom and we will deal with this together, whatever it is."
"Hunter....do you not know why I'm going back?" I asked, sensing that he would loose it if I told him. He just stared at me.
"I swear if my parents told you and didn't tell me AGAIN, I'm going to kill them. This happens every single damn time." He muttered to himself before looking at me again.
I remained silent.
All I got from Hunter was a sigh, " What do we have to deal with now? Can you fly or something daft? Maybe time travel? Cause that would be extremely useful at this moment in time." He whispered off to himself like the crazy-person he was.
"Hunter...." I snapped him out of his daze.
"What?" Was all I got back from him.
"They're making me Queen."

As I careful make my way down the stairs, careful not to hurt my ribs or shoulder to much as slowly, they were healing.
My mom catches me as I attempt to sneak out of the door and gives me a mischievous look, raising her eyebrow at me and giving me a funny look.
I can't help but laugh at the face she is giving me, after all...she is my mom. And we all know you can never properly fall out with your mother and not fall back in.
"Where ya going?" She asks with a smug look on her face. "To see Hunter again?" She raises another eyebrow.
"Again?" I question her. She just looks at me stupidly an crosses her arms as she leans against the pale walls. She raises another eyebrow at me. I swear my mom has better movement in her eyebrows than Cara Delevingne.
"Yes, again." She answers, "I know everything that goes in in this house. Just remember that, and the fact that's there's two giant holes in the wall in your bedroom doesn't help. I'm sending Rose and Aidon the bill." She rolls her eyes as she makes her way into the kitchen and disappears from my sight.
Her voice them boomed throughout the house as I opened the front door. "Cecelia Lake do not leave this house without a jacket!" My mom shouted as I quickly responded.
"I wouldn't dream of it!" I shouted back as I closed the door behind me and made my way into the thick snow. The pitiful cold suddenly reminded me of the pain I had felt and felt with not less than a week ago.
I shuddered last the thought, after all that's all that it was. The past, I would get over the nightmares that haunted me. Maybe not soon, but one day, it would seem like a distant memory.
The snow crunched beneath my feet as I walked into the woods, catching eyes with Jay as he ran towards me and gave me hug. This put a smile on my face, Jay always manages to make me happier.
"Hey princess," He murmurs into my hair,
"We all have news for you." He smiles as I make my way over to where Saorsa is sitting with a large smile on her face.
She stands up and runs towards me, her long golden hair caught in the wind as she wraps her arms skinny around me and looks up at me with a smile.
"So? What is it that you want to tell me?" I asked Jay with a smile on my face, he laughed and grinned back happily.
"Well princess, all of us have decided that when you leave for the Ferolc kingdom....we are all coming with you. We have decided, that we enter too - we never want to leave your side." He smiled as the remaining wolves came over and surrounded me in a small circle.
"We'll will be there for you Cece!" Saorsa shrieked, " Whenever you need us we will be there." She smiled.
"It will be a new beginning for all of us."
I hope you enjoy this chapter as I literally listened to the song at the top on repeat as I wrote it. It's from the movie 'The greatest showman' and I love it so much so don't be surprised if I shove in a few songs here and there.
Thank you guys very, very much and I'm so excited because things are gonna start heating up soon as Cece' going home!
I love you all!
