Girl Possessed (Book 1 of The Girl Trilogy) by Reussie Miliardario Page A

turned soulful and
endearing in my mind. It filled my essence, warmed my heart, and
seduced me entirely out of my wits.
    I HAD TO BE WITH SHAUL.
    I HAD TO GO TO THE LAKE.
    Completely out of control now, I
turned around in pursuit of the lake, in pursuit of
Shaul.
    I was running now through the woods
back toward the lake, panting in the hot summer wind that rushed
across my face. And then something changed within me that surprised
me. Now that I had given in to the music’s callings, the thought of
this adventure excited me to my very core! I was
charged!
    The music massaged my mind and it
became louder, even more beautiful and varied. I stepped across the
boundary past the safety of the trees and slowed at the edge of the
cliff. Nobody had seen me—at least, that was my hope.
    At the sublime sight before my eyes,
the words just rushed out of my mouth like a waterfall, “Oh, God.”
I gasped. “How beautiful is Your lake.” The water glistened in
radiant sparkle from afar. I wanted to dive off the cliff right
into it, but it was too far of a drop. Only a crazy person would do
such a thing.
    Never before had I seen such a vision
so glorious indeed. I began to edge my way down the steep mountain,
the music caressing my mind, lifting me to the euphoric realm of
the sheer magical bliss that awaited me.
    But, Shaul was nowhere in sight. He
must already be in the lake swimming beneath the waters. Or maybe
he was hiding behind a boulder or behind a cluster of
trees.
    The deer below grazing in the lush
green field beside the lake raised their heads at my descent and
galloped away. My intensity of thoughts must have scared
them.
    I stopped, still barely beneath the
upper edge of the cliff. My foot caught on a rock along the side of
the mountain. At that, I gazed again down below. What a shock! I
saw a delicate woman with the longest wet hair draped over her
naked body stepping out of the lake. Who was it? Certainly, she
wasn’t anyone from our village hidden in the woods. I was
frightened, but I couldn’t help but stare.
    She was so elegant and graceful with
the air of sensual charms that nobody I knew possessed. Her body
exuded the most dazzling fragrance that wafted up the mountain. I
felt I was in a daze, the music playing in my mind, the odors of
transcendence surrounding me like a sheer cloud of
pleasure.
    She reached to the branch of a golden
tree in surreal blossom, which hardly seemed possible in the blaze
of summer. How could a tree bloom in this heat? From one of its
branches she picked one of its odd diaphanous flowers and stepped
into it. On her body now, I realized it wasn’t a blossom, but a
gown of the sheerest silk gauze. In walking she seemed to float,
her light steps invisible beneath the airy fabric.
    Then, at once, she was in
flight—grand, magnificent, jeweled wings sprouted from her back and
she fluttered like a faerie with a shimmer of sparkles trailing
behind her above the silver lake.
    What a sight! I was in awe of her
majesty. How could this be possible? Fairies aren’t real. Or are
they? But, at the same time as I was intrigued with this being, I
was disappointed. How could I swim in the waters that called for me
after what I had just seen? She would see me. And where was Shaul?
Was it safe down there?
    My emotions were so intense and
unbalanced. It must have been an effect of the ethereal symphony
playing in my mind. I just needed to calm down, I told myself. My
foot still caught in the side of the mountain, I began to drift off
in thought.
    But, then, suddenly I was ripped from
the mountainside.
    “ Oh, no!” I
yelped.
    At once, I felt extreme pain at the
top of my scalp as someone violently yanked me back toward the edge
of the cliff by my hair. I had been found past the boundary! I bit
my lip to keep myself from screaming. Blood gushed from my face. I
must have bitten down too hard.

    The pain was excruciating. I felt like
my scalp was being ripped right off my head. My legs dangled in
