Stuck In Wonderland

Cold Night

We had been walking for hours and we didn't talk all that much for the rest of the day... gah! I'm such an idiot!... I shouldn't have said that..

~flash back~

The night of the house fire... He sang to me, to calm me down.. Did it work?... would it work for him?..

"Don't you dare look out your window, darling everything's on fire." The sound of the flames danced with his voice. And I heard a burst of flames on 'fire'. "The war outside our door keeps raging on.. hold on to this lullaby, even when the music's gone.. gone." His voice was so soothing.. it was powerful, yet soft and gentle. "Just close your eyes, the sun is going down. You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now."

~end of flash back~

I honestly believed that last part.. but now I see that I can hurt myself, and others, with the words I use..

"Come little children, I'll take thy away, into a land of enchantment.." I hummed quietly to myself, his ears perked up. It wasn't hard to tell if he was listening or not. "Come little children, the times come to play.. here in my garden of shadows.." I sang, hoping he'd either say something or sing along cause just singing this be myself is getting kinda awkward...

"Y-your really good at singing.." He mumbled, still not making eye contact. Welp, talking is a step closer to not being awkward around me.

"T-thank you..." I mumbled. I was watching what I said.. I didn't want this to become even worse for the both of us....

~2 hours later~

We were almost there. I can see it down the hill, maybe a fifteen minute walk.. we stopped cause I literally collapsed, and it was getting dark. I was so tire, and cold, and hungery.. the town was right there but I'm not going to let wolf boy carry me down to it. He's not a slave. I was barely awake, but still holding on to as much energy as I could. Stranger was standing by the edge of the hill, he howled at the moon.. not long after I could hear at least five others howl back. He sighed and sat down.

"S-stranger?..." I said quietly through my scratchy tired voice. "I-Im sorry for what I said earlier... forgive me?..."

He smiled back at me softly. "Of course kitty." He chuckled. His chuckle is probably the most amazing sound I've heard, especially when it's a tired one.

I smiled softly to, that only lasted till the cold night air started dancing over my skin again. It was so cold! I shivered and curled up in a ball trying to stay warm. It didn't work.. soon I felt something get layer over me, something warm. I opened my eyes slightly, stranger was shirtless.. and this was his shirt. I would stare but, I don't have the energy. All I saw before I fell asleep, was him lay down next to me. Once I closed my eyes, I felt him take me into an embrace, it was warm. He was being so nice to me, even tho I was being so bratty towards him.. he's always been there after the fire... he's always looked after me..

I think.... I think I love him.......
