The Wolf's Heart Of Change

Chapter 12 - Run

Chica: "What went on between you two?"

Roxy: "I asked him how he felt about me. He explained what was going through his mind over the time he has known me. One thing led to another and now... why did I do that? I want him here. I want him beside me..."

Chica: "If only the world wasn't after him."

Roxy: "If it wasn't for that little shit, that pathetic sorry excuse for a human!"

Chica: "But if it wasn't for them, then you would never have met 'him' in the first place."

Roxy: "He said forever and ever doesn't exist."

Chica: "Well... he isn't wrong."

Roxy: "But that's not true. I don't want to lose him forever."

Chica: "You told him never to come back. You know him well enough to know that he won't return. Not now."

Roxanne turned away, closing her eyes and gritting her teeth.

Roxy: "Then we have to find him."

Chica: "Why did he have to go in the first place?"

Roxy: "He basically said that if he stayed, then we could all be killed. He said that he couldn't risk that."

Chica: "Oh, what a gentleman. Always thinking of our safety over his own. Do you know what his plan is?"

Roxy: "No, he didn't say. I didn't think to ask. Is it too late?"

Chica: "Possibly not. Though we will need to be quick. How would we find him though?"

Roxy: "My nose hasn't failed me yet."

Chica: "We have a performance today."

Roxy: "Fuck the performance. We have to find him or at least... I have to."

Chica: "What will the others say? What about everyone who is expecting us?"

Roxy: "Find someone else if you're that bothered."

Chica: "You what?"

Roxy: "I said find someone else. Someone who cares about what everyone else thinks."

Chica: "... Am I hearing you right?"

Roxy: "Yes. Now, are you going to come with me or stay here?"

Chica: "I'm not suited for running around out there. If you're going then maybe I should stay and tell the others."

Roxy: "No because then Freddy will worry. You can't tell him if you stay. Monty maybe, but not Freddy."

Chica: "Whatever you do, be safe."

Roxy: "Yea yea. I got it."

Roxanne walked to her door and opened it.

Roxy: "What do you want?"

?: "I've heard that 'he' has been here, for a little while even."

Roxy: "Shut up. Go away."

She slammed the door shut.

*BANG*

Roxy: "*Growling.*"

She opened the door which now had a hole in it and punched the guy straight in the face, knocking him straight to the floor and out like a light.

Roxy: "I must prepare."

It was cold outside. Very cold. It was back to hiding once again. This time in a tree. Who on earth would have thought of that? 'He' was watching. Waiting. With limited time as it was, every second was precious. He knew 'she' had to be nearby. After all, she had been following his every move. She wanted him dead. Out of the way. Snuffed out. Unable to tell the truth and set everything straight. He wanted everyone to turn on her. To see the truth. To see her for what she was. A liar. A failure. A mistake. One who always played the victim card. One who twisted stories and manipulated everyone. For what? Attention like a little brat who thought the world just revolved around them. One who thought the world and everyone on it owed them something. Spoiler alert, it doesn't work like that. Never has done. Never will do. Having finally had enough, he was going to set the record straight. One chance was all he had. One chance was all he needed.
