. As I walked back into the forest scalpel still in my jacket pocket something fell from my eyes
“A tear?!”
I thought I looked at it to identify it to be black blood. I was bleeding? Huh I didn’t know I could bleed I thought as I walked into a person he was tall and had no face. He extended his hand to me and he gave me a home with all the others. He’s the only reason I have a place to live.
“Jack I’m so sorry but wait why didn’t you answer any of my calls?”
“I…*sigh* I was afraid you’d hate me, who I am now”
“Oh jack I could never hate you”
“Thank you”
I held her tighter then pulled away
“Now why aren’t you asleep?”
“I’m not tired but why are you here?”
“Didn’t you hear?”
“About what?”
“The heart taker. Your neighborhood is on high alert”
A smile crept across her face
“Oh is it?”
“Yes! Why are you smiling like that?”
“No reason just you”
“What? What did I do?”
“You care about me a lot”
“Yeah why wouldn’t I?”
She shrugged
“I don’t know this care just seems different”
I flushed red at the thought that she might know about my feelings
“Um yeah…”
