Hide And Seek With The Devil

~Chapter V~

Sue narrowed his eyes. Did he really have to tell her who Ai is and why she was there? Why did he have to excuse himself? Especially to someone like Dorothy? On the other hand, though , she didn't use to ask things like that or show any emotion such as jealousy, yet in his eyes he saw exactly that. Why was she jealous? And why she was acting like she owned this place since he clearly was the 'ruler' there. The quickly snapped out of his thoughts and questions and with a small breath he looked down at her, answering casually

"She's...a friend of mine..., she is usually breaking my nerves and ruining my games..."

"Games? What kind of game-"

Sue wouldn't try to even answer that question. Dorothy wouldn't learn more than she asked in the first place. He was already seeming for a person that hid a lot and this silence proved exactly that. What kind of games did he mean? Dorothy would never know.

"Her name is Ai... but you wanted to tell me something, am I correct? " He raised an eyebrow and looked down at her. She was shorter than him even though his high wasn't at the best for a man. He always had his way of switching the topic of the conversation by one sentence. Knowing Dorothy too well, he thought she would forget about what he just said.

"Yeah, I wanted to know if you would like to go for a walk...it's really nice outside..the flowers are blooming and I haven't seen you go out of here before....you stay here with me the whole time."  She breathed out quickly, being really shy to ask someone out. The way she said it didn't seem like a date, she asked to just...walk and talk.

Sue didn't know how to answer to this, he could hear Ai's voice almost yelling at him to go with her. Demons could become so irritating some times.. Speaking in his head was the worst of the abilities, in his opinion, leaving him unable to kick these yells out of him. By leaving a long sigh, he nodded, placed the dusty book down on his desk and  walked towards the door before pulling it open. 

"Sure, let's go" He breathed out kindly and with her by his side, he started walking out to the hallway and after a minute to the green back yard of the mansion. The full moon was bright and the smell of the flowers was too much for him to hate this place. He loved staying inside, reading, spending time to play again and again with Dorothy and of course getting on the nerves of Priscilla. She was powerful and he knew it but since she wouldn't hurt him, he would keep causing more and more trouble to her.

The silence that filled the place was really awkward, only some bats or animals around the place could be heard and Dorothy could sense the tense between them. Even though she didn't like this awkward walk,she loved it at the same time. They were so close, hands were almost touching and his orange colored eyes were twinkling in the dark. She was so lost in the moment that she couldn't take her eyes from him, this smile of his was brightening her days in there,every time he was telling her she will survive the challenge she couldn't help but feel so much hope. Yet, there they were. She was free and he was by her side, walking in the moonlight with only the sound of the grass being stepped was breaking the silence.

"All this time I haven't seen this Ai around, yet, you said she is a friend of yours" She glanced at him, breaking her thoughts in the middle, because she started feeling her cheeks getting warm again.

"Yes.. She doesn't come here often and you're quite busy... that's why you two haven't met before."  He explained and almost stretched his back. Even the light of the moon started to break his nerves more than expected and he wouldn't stand it for longer. Even though he didn't like the whole situation of walking around and most importantly...talk, Sue had to admit she wasn't as bad as he thought. Her expression to everything, her cheerful self and her naive nature was attracting him for a reason he didn't know. Yet, he had locked his feelings somewhere deep inside his soul long time ago and there they should remain. He didn't want them to come back. He didn't want memories to come back. The younger girl soon enough made him to come back to reality by holding his arm with both hands. She was cold, her eyes glanced at him and he took a silent breath.
