My Name is Haley (soul eater fanfic)

Chapter 14

"He's still pretty far..."I say and hug my knees.

"O-oh," He leaned back against the tree we were hiding under. "S-so do you a-always hide l-like this...?"

"Yeah."

"H-how long h-have you b-been hiding?"

"Nine years." I whisper. He looked at me in shock.

"N-nine y-years!?"

"I was six the first time he cut me."

"Wh-wha..!?" I nodded. "Th-that's horrible..." I sighed.

"Yeah."

After a bit of awkward silence the Soul Binder glowed.

"He gave up his search." It informed me.

"Ok..." I reply.

"Wh-what is i-it?"

"My dad has given up on finding me for right now."

"Th-that's good..."

"Y-yeah." I sighed and began to hum. Crona looked at my confused.

"Oh come on. Don't tell me you've never heard someone hum before."

"N-no. I-I have. I-I'm just confused o-on why y-you're humming r-right now."

"It's pretty calming."

That was true. Humming always did make me calm. I felt relaxed when I hummed.

Like before, I wasn't sure what I was humming. I was just humming a tune. I eventually started humming a real song. I began to hum Hey There Dehlilah. I'm not sure why. I just did.

Crona looked at me, then looked at the ground. He obviously didn't know what to say.

Wait, why am I still hiding here? My dad has stopped looking for me. I could just go, but u didn't really want to leave. It was so peaceful, so quiet.

The only noises were my humming, the trees, and the faint sounds of our breath.

I started to sing silently. My voice was barley audible. I wondered if Crona would hear it because it was so quiet.

"H-Haley? A-are you s-singing?" Well, that answered my question.
