I watch Alex as he walks away..."something about him seems different today then it did yesterday, it seems to have happened shortly after we talked about his curse, also it seems he has something plaguing his mind." I mutter to myself
I stand up and jog briskly to catch up to him but I slow down before he notices me and before I catch up because I see him clenching his teeth and clenching his hands with a rage in his eyes unlike any I've ever seen from...well anyone
But it fades in a second and he turns around and looks at me and smiles but his eyes now seem...cold and...distant...I wonder whats going on inside his head.
"Hey...Alex are you alright?" I ask
He looks away and only nods as his smile drops, we walk a few steps and he says
"I'm...alright no need to worry, just some...memories is all I need time to process them is all."
He says as his hands twitch slightly
I touch his hand lightly and say "I'm here if you need me alright, don't be afraid to ask me for help..I'm..in your debt now after all remember?"
"Yea..but don't feel so inclined to pay me back in any way. I'm fine with getting nothing in turn for my help."
He stops and looks at the sky as it gets darker
"It's gonna storm soon." He says as he looks at me
"Let's hurry back to our rooms" He extends his hand to me as I take it and we run getting to the door and entering right before the downpour.
I smile at him and say "that was a close one yea?" The smile soon drops off my face when I look over and see some kind of darkness in his eyes while he pants like he's exaughsted even tho he shouldn't be. He stands back up and looks at me.
"What did you say I didn't hear you sorry." I shake my head and start walking back to our room
As we walk in he lays on his bed and looks at the ceiling for a few minutes with the same darkness in his eyes and then he closes his eyes and says
"Ima get some sleep, you should as well, sleep well skye."
I sigh and lay down and begin to close my eyes as well fully unprepared for what's to come.
