By now, it was getting dark. Standing, Alice gathered her things to head home. Not that she wanted to, but she had no other choice. She would be beat if she didn't. Sighing, she slung her backpack on and walked over to the small concrete path.
Following the path, Alice headed to the park exit. She wasn't lookingforward to the walk home, but it had to be done. Keeping her gaze down, she passed Alistair without a glance.
I understand
Alice stops and looks at the boy. She wasn't use to strangers talking to her and he had startled her. She forces a smile. "Hey." she said softly, her voice like honey. She glances about, knowing she needed to get home but not wanting to be rude.
Alice nods. "I am. And who might you be?" She asked kindly. She had only been in town a few days and wanted desperately to make friends. And while it seemed odd that this boy knew her name already, she was willing to go for it. She gives him a friendly smile as she waits for his answer.
June had a bruise above her eye and several small scatches all over her arms. It was easy to see she had put up a fight. And the guards looked mad.
The one in lead sets June on the bed rather roughly but she didn't stir. He looks over at Harlan. "Good luck with her."he says with a growl in his voice. He then leads the others out of the room, slamming the door behind them.
June had curled into a tight ball, shaking. She kept muttering something he couldn't understand. She suddenly flinches as though she had been hit. She was having a nightmare.
"Nervous? Why would I be nervous? " Alice said,confusion in her eyes. Looking up at the sky, she understood what he meant. "Oh. No. I'm use to being out in the dark."she said. "Will I see you at school tomorrow? " she asked, truly hoping she would. Alistair was the first person to speak to her kindly that was her own age. But now that she thought about it, he looked a bit older than her. But no matter. It couldn't be by more than a year or two.
Alice smiles. This boy was weird but cute. "You probably have. I live near the woods and love to explore them."she tells him. She stuffed her hands in her pockets and shivers as the wind began to pick up. "Looks like the cold is here to stay." She jokes, casting him a playful look. She soon reaches the road.
June began to stir more as the medicine wore off. Even so, she didn't move away from Harlan. She sighs and looks up at him. She then rested her head against his leg, too exhausted to do anything else. She drifts in and out of sleep for several hours. Finally, the next morning, she truly woke.
June sits up slowly, still a bit dizzy. She blinks several times before looking at Harlan. She didn't say anything for a long time. "Harlan
..." she started but then stopped. Sge didn't know how to say what she wanted to. She finally looks down at her hand, unable to face him.
Idea
Harlan takes June into town with him to get something. But as they are walking down the street, a werewolf tries to attack Harlan only for June to stop it. Then, when Harlan is treating her wounds, he ask her why she saved him when she could have ran.
Alice nods to what he says. "I've never been to the cinema so I wouldn't know." she tells him. She quickly crosses the road, looking frightened. But she doesn't say anything about it. She yawns tiredly
Lol
Alice nods. She stops at the edge of the trees. "I go through the forest to get home. I don't guess you do?"she said. She hated to part ways with him but she didn't want him to see where she lived. And it wasn't because she thought he was going to hurt her or anything. It was because of her aunt, well, mostly her uncle.
"I don't know...." Alice trailed off. She stuffed her hands deeper into her pockets, the cold growing worse. "I just....my uncle doesn't like me hanging out with boys." she mutters, looking at the ground. She felt uneasy talking about it. But now he knew. Great.
Alice pulled the jacket tightly around her. "Thank you. And I doubt he'll even notice. " she tells him with a smile. She goes to a small trail and walks along it. "How long have you lived here?" she asked, looking over at him. He notices a small chain around her neck. It was silver and gold threaded together.
"Just a week. I had to move in with my mother's brother." Alice said, her voice making it clear she didn't want to talk about it. "Didn't you say you had a dog?" she asked after a few minutes of silence. She loved animals and maybe it was something they had in common. She really wanted him as a friend.
Do you like the idea?
June stared at Harlan, speechless. She had never known a master to apologize for anything. Gulping, she sighs heavily. "I'm sorry too." She said softly. She looks over at the window, watching the sun rise for a little while. "Harlan, have you ever truly watched the sun set and the moon rise?" She asked, doubting he would understand what she meant. She had only known one another to understand and that was her sister. She had never bothered to ask anyone else.
Sure. They could be getting her dress!
June sighs but doesn't say anything else. She gets up slowly, keeping her side in mind, and goes over to the window. The windowand balcony were her favorite spots in the room.
Gazing out, June sighs. "Are you going to punish me?" She asked in a whisper, dreading the answer. She didn't know why it was bothering her so much but it was. Odd.
Alice smiled. "I love dogs. I use to have a German Shepherd named Courage. But he passed away a year ago." she said, sadness creeping into her voice. She looked down at the ground and kicked at a rock. She kept walking slower and slower. She clearly didn't want to go home. But finally they came to an opening in the trees. Alice stopped, fear entering her scent. She was scared to go any further.
Alice shakes her head. "It doesn't matter. "She said. She moves to walk past him. "I'll be at the park again tomorrow. "She tells him, hoping she would see him then.
Lets skip to tomorrow. Lets have them meet at the park. And want do you mean by yandere? I'm not familiar with that word.
Alice smiles and waves back before going inside.
*
Alice didn't show for school that day, which was unlike her. It was raining hard, but has eased up by the time school got out. Sitting at her normal spot, Alice had her head down, her arms hiding her ipod. Her earphones were in and she couldn't hear anything. And that was the way she wanted it. It drowned out the remaining screaming fragments from the night before that had left her covered in bruises now. Her skin was black and blue all over and Alice was sure she had a broke rib.
I like it. Go for it.
Alice jumped in surprise. She smiled at him though once she realized it was him. She took out her earphones and stuffed them with the ipod in her pocket. "Hey Alistair." She said, clearly happy. As she spoke, she pulled the sleeves down on her jacket, tryingto hide the bruises. But the pain from her side made her face pale and she couldn't hide that.
