(You guys are in luck. I decided to post another chapter today.)
You feel sort of guilty after talking to Laurance like that. He knows something's wrong, but he doesn't want to ask. You follow the path Garroth chose you to patrol. You walk down the steps to the docks, and enjoy the fresh air. The cool ocean breeze blows snow into your face. You wonder why the ocean hasn't started to freeze, you froze the moment you stepped outside.
You love winter, but it sometimes gets too cold. You shiver, and continue. You pass countless people, including Laurance, but you don't look at him. You end up in the plaza, and you look down at the small hill you met Lauramce for the first time on. You smile, the first time you've done that since the 'incident'.
You start to wonder if you really are sick. You've been loosing your temper at everyone you meet, and people are starting to avoid you. You bury your face into your hands, and hold in tears. Nobody deserves what you put them through. You just can't stop though.
It hurts people when you're mean to them, but it hurts you even more. You know what you're doing to your reputation, and you don't like it. You feel a hand on your shoulder, and hold back a 'Get off me!' You raise your head, and see Garroth standing beside you.
"You okay?" He asks.
"I'm... Fine." You whisper. He smiles.
"I know everyone's judging you for how you've been acting lately, but I don't blame you. You must have so many questions, and you don't know how to deal with them."
"Yeah, that's about right." You say.
"Do you want me to explain that to Laurance?" He asks.
"Would you? I just don't know how..." You look down at your feet.
"It's completely fine. I'll do that." He begins to walk off.
"Garroth!" You call,
"Yes?" He asks, turning around.
"Thank you." You say, and continue. You feel glad that at least one person was your friend right now.
***
You hear a knock on your door, and you're tempted to ignore it, but after that talk with Garroth, you want to make things better for yourself, and everyone else.
"Hello?" You call, looking around. Nobody's there. You sigh, another prank. Ever since you became the slightest bit mean, people have been trying to you back. You hear a giggle, and the noise of something zooming through the air. You life your hand, and catch a rock.
"That wasn't funny." You inform some people hiding in a bush outside. You hear a couple squeals, and then rustling. Then the noise stops. Your teeth begin to chatter, being outside without a coat isn't fun. You hear more rustling. You turn around.
"Don't you even dare try to pull another prank on me!" You yell, but something really heavy then hits your head, and your vision sways.
"Who...?" You begin, but fall over, and the last thing you see is blood on the ground.
