Cruelest Of Hearts~Eyeless Jack X Reader

Chapter 14 Through The Night

  The street with the high skyscrapers was filled with people going up and down the whole place, walking fast towards their destinations in an attempt to save some time from their busy schedule. Loud talking could be heard from all around you, with the usual sounds of the city being way too loud and clear, as the commotion only created a happy and vigorous buzz, consisted of both human voices and the honking of the various cars that were speeding past you on the street.

Still, you were barely even giving them any attention as you happily gamboled down the street, a huge smile seemingly plastered on your small lips and your adorable pink school bag hanging loosely from your back. You had just finished your first day at kindergarten and you were more than simply excited, since you had made a lot of new friends and talked to literally everyone. One of your friends was a shy boy named Jack! Oh, how much you played and drew together; you surely wished that you would see him again tomorrow! He liked the color blue, he was a bit older and didn't smile much, but you would make him smile no matter what! Maybe if you brought him some cookies? You didn't know. Maybe play with him more? The giraffe he drew was awesome though.

'So how was your day ______?' a happy, male voice said from beside you.

You turned and your bright (e/c) eyes nailed themselves on the smiling face of your father. He had managed to come pick you up, just as he promised and something told you that he was way more excited about your day than you were. His filled with kindness (e/c) eyes betrayed nothing more than pure happiness to see you smile, no matter the heavy and dark bags that were hanging under his eyes and the shadow of tiredness that had stayed permanently on his eyes. His complexion was matching yours and despite the fact that you shared a strong resemblance with your mother, everyone was saying that you were as kind as him. In his words, you smile even brighter and swing your entwined hands, chuckling with pure bliss.

'It was so much fun daddy! I got to make friends!' you shrieked out in delight.

Raising his eyebrows, he grins 'How many did you make?'

'Ummm, five if I count Jack as well! We all played and drew together!'

'Really?' he questions you happily 'And who might Jack be?'

'He is a shy boy that just came into town with his parents! I saw him being all alone so I kept him company. '

In your words, his eyes soften even more and he places his hand on your head, stroking your hair tenderly, with a fatherly smile on his face 'You did well ______.'

'OUT OF THE WAY! OUT OF THE WAY!' somebody yelled from behind you and your father pulled you to the side, just in time before two men passed you by, running with all their might towards a certain place up ahead on the street.

They were both wearing white suits with a distinguishable red cross printed on them and in their view, the pedestrians moved to the side, making way for them to pass among them and head towards a place where lots of people had gathered, seemingly looking towards something down on the pavement and speaking among them in total shock. Your father said nothing when you gazed at him quizzically, but instead, he just picked you up in his arms with his attention completely drawn to the place with the many bystanders, as he too walked up towards it. Now that he had picked you up, it was a lot easier to gaze around you, so you quite easily found the two men with the white robes, kneeling beside a very dirty and old man that was sitting against the wall with his head leaned on his shoulder. His clothes were torn and you curiously though if he felt cold with such a cold weather and in his left hand, he was holding a small white cup that had a few coins inside. One of the white-dressed men had placed his hand on his neck and he turned to look at his friend and nodded negatively.
