Partials

3: Ambushed

I walked home in the rain by myself hiding under my hoodie in a pitiful attempt to keep dry. God the weather was messed up today. First it was raining then sunny and now it was raining again. There would probably be some Partials lurking around in this weather. I wasn't worried though. I had my skull knife tucked into my hoodie pocket. My half numb hands were wrapped firmly around the handle for comfort. That's when it happened. I heard it before I saw it. The extra set of feet walking on the leaves behind me.

Partial.

I didn't let I know I had seen it yet. I would wait for a few more seconds. I dropped my pace a fraction waiting for the Partial to catch up for me. Almost, now! I let out a cry spun around knife raised. My eyes scanned over the Partial and I let my arm drop with a sigh. Sin stood there arms raised over his head for protection. He let them fall when I lowered the blade

"What the hell! Are you crazy?"

"I though you were a Partial."

"Do I look like one to you? For fucks sake! You almost killed me!"

"I don't almost kill. I either do or I don't. I realised it was you so I didn't kill you. I'm sorry for scaring you." I said simply

"You fucking should be. I moved here to go to a training school so I can defend myself. Not to get stabbed while walking home by some chick who thought I was going to take her."

"I said I'm sorry."

"You should be!" He took a deep breath, calming his frayed nerves.

"you done?" I asked, putting a hand on my hip.

"Yeah, sorry, I'm just a little shaken up."

"I noticed." He lightly smirked at me.

"Where do you live?"

"Uhh. . ." Like I was going to give him my address "just around the corner."

"I'm going that way too. I'll walk you home." I was confused with his sudden change in attitude.

"No. I'm fine thanks."

"But you need protecting." He teased.

"If anyone needs protecting here its you. So i'll let you walk me home, but only so that way if you get taken its not on my conscience." He smiled at me and we began walking again.

"So I have to admit. You got some skills.." He paused "for a girl." I would have taken offence but when I turned to him he was smiling hugely.

"Who said I was a girl?"

"Crap. Then I've got some pictures to delete of my phone." My mouth dropped and I hit him playfully on the arm.

"Perv!" I shouted, he responded with a bubbly, happy laugh

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." He said struggling for breath. I had to admit. In a weird messed up way he was kind of charming. I felt myself smiling. I didn't smile anymore. Had nothing to smile about. Not since the Partials came and took my best friend. I can't get to attached to this boy I reminded myself he will more than likely be gone soon.

I guess I can't hurt having a friend for now.

Im probably going to die soon anyway. Eventually everyone does.
