Bewitched: A Fireafy story

Chapter 3: A girl

WARNING: Swearing

The flame just stared at the leaf's emerald green eyes, he noticed that her face was smaller than his and she seemed to have a much more feminine appearance. Then he looked at her hands and saw a knife. He jumped in fear, and felt something going through him. The knife didn't hurt him.

"This usually works...", The leaf said in shock

She immediately grabbed her backpack and took out a bottle full of water.

"Ahhh! PLEASE DON'T EXTINGUISH ME!" The flame begged the leaf.

She just looked at him with a furious face like he had hurt her or something. He looked at her, noticing her limbs were thinner than his.

"A-are you a girl?", he asked the leaf.

"No, I'm a number who came from the moon... WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK, DUMBASS?!", She yelled at the flame.

In return the flame looked at her confused, "Is that a yes? Sorry I've just never seen a girl before...", he said in a nervous and yet happy tone.

"SHUT UP! I need your hands in the air", The leaf yelled while the flame lifted his hands.

"So uhh.... Where are you from, leaf girl?", The flame said in a curious tone.

"I SAID TO SHUT THE HELL UP", She yelled aggressively while getting her backpack.

"You say a lot of naughty words...", He said.

"Is he joking," She thought "it's almost like he is a child". She was surprised by how Ignorant he was. "Is this an act? Does he think he can just try to fool me? Or is he actually this innocent? Whatever, a boy is a man..."

She slowly went around the flame and pointed the bottle of water at him. He just stared at her in confusion, still not understanding why she was so aggressive at him.

"W-wait! Where are you going?", he asked.

"None of your business, you damn imbecile." She snarled back at him.

After saying that she ran as fast and far away as she could from the building. After a couple of minutes she stopped to catch her breath. "I hope he didn't follow me", she thought. She looked at the sky to see that the sun was setting. "Dang, have i been asleep all day?!, seems like I really needed it"

"Maybe this time i should sleep in a tree", she said to herself while climbing a tree.
She watched the sun fade over the horizon. She loved seeing the stars slowly coming down of the sky. It reminded her of home...

"Thank God I lived another day..." She said while closing her eyes and drifting away in sleep.

The flame was still in the library after the leaf had left. Choosing a book to read until he just gave up and decided to go back home. He grabbed his trolley cart and went on his way.

While on his way, he felt different. He felt his heart racing, but that could have been because the leaf was threatening him. And he noticed he couldn't stop smiling, but that's because he knew he wasn't alone... Yeah...

Before entering his cave he looked at the sunset, It always made him feel lonely.
He was just staring at the ceiling, still trying to process what had happened. "I can't believe i met someone today! And more that they're a girl... But it seems like she didn't really like me... " He thought. "I hope she'll give me a chance... What if i don't see her again tomorrow?, What if she extinguishes me?, nah that's silly..."

"right?..."

"I mean... she did try to extinguish me..."

"Why am I overthinking so much???... She doesn't even like me..."

"Why does that last thought hurt me?....."

"..."

"Maybe i should just try to get some sleep..."

"..."

"Ugh... My belly feels weird...."

After about an hour of trying to sleep he decided to do something.

"I could draw... yeah... I'll do that."

He grabbed a piece of coal and started drawing on the wall. He slowly sketched a smooth spear shape, then he drew a straight line inside of it. He made sure everything was perfect, no coal smudges, no wavey lines, no mistakes. He added a feminine face contorted with rage, clenched fists and legs.

Once he finished he just started at the drawing.

"It looks just like her...", he said to himself, smiling.

After that he went to bed and drifted away in sleep.
