Chapter 40 : Go Away Now

Vika's POV "Where are you taking me?" I asked, stumbling in the woods. "Trust me, Vika," Asher said softly. He turned around. "Eek!" I squeaked as I bumped into him. I fell back, reaching behind me. Asher caught my arm. He grinned. "See, I've got you," he said, winking. I sighed. "Thanks," I muttered. The trees thinned out, and Asher led me to the edge of a cliff. "Whoa," I muttered. A glittering, sparkling waterfall cascaded down the cliff, rushing into a river below in the moonlight. I put my hand over my mouth. My eyes felt like they were wider than the moon. "What is this place?" I asked. I stuck my hand out, spray from the waterfall sticking to my skin like raindrops. "It is called Starlight Waterfall," Asher said. "I've never seen anything so beautiful," I murmured. The moonlight caressed the waterfall as if sending countless glowing stardust to the waterfall. Asher grabbed my outstretched hand. He sat down and tugged me down next to him.
