Hidden world

Chapter 9

ALEX'S POV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (nerd day today, had so much fun with my wack friends )

I jump out of bed making the boards underneath my feet thump loudly at the burden of my weight. I look to where Rumi would be sleeping.

"Time to get up!" I shout, realizing she isn't there. "Rumi!" I shout loudly.

I get a flash from earlier last night. Rumi was out in the hallway, and now that I think about it Sean's chair was moved. I scream at the top of my lungs out of anger and fury. I yank open the door and nearly pull it off of it's weak hinges. Camen is sitting in his chair, awake, and humming to a song that I don't know and have never heard of.

"Camen!" I snarl and walk over him, grabbing a knife off of his table and digging it into his neck, making him choke.

"What?" He sputters trying to pull his head out of harms way

"Where are Sean and Rumi?" I demand pushing it harder into his neck.

"I don't know, they went into the bathroom and never came out..." He trails on but it doesn't matter, I am up and running, pushing the bathroom door open so hard it bangs against the wall and makes a hole, faintly I hear Camen cry from the living room "This is my house you know!"

I roll my eyes and walk into the room, scowling at the clean, non bloody face of Sean. Rumi is laying on the place near him, sleeping nice and peaceful. Something that makes me even more disgusted is the fact he is turned to watch her.

"You pervert! How did you get clean? Did she clean you? What the heck man?" I shout at him

He winces at the harshness of my words and turns to look at me, no longer facing my sweet Rumi "Oh well you see she woke up in the middle of the night just to see me and make sure I was doing alright. Believe it or not she even cleaned off most of my blood and disenfected my back wound. Only thing she couldn't do was prove to me you actually have a heart, which currently I don't  think you do. Only she has a pure heart. Only she." He says his words coming at me like acid rain from the high heavens

I scoul at him and give him a few seconds to let the words soak in before I slap him so hard my hand stings and there is a full hand mark on his face. "I hope that bruise will teach you a lesson you will never be able to wipe off. Rumi is my best friend. I can take care of her better than you ever could so just leave her alone." I tell him angrily and bore into him with the icy stare of my eyes.

"You need to stop being so self centered and realize I am trying to help you and make your life easier. I can help, but you won't let me that makes sense though, witches aren't meant to have hearts. Maybe if I splash water on you, you will melt." He says to me but I don't undersand, I just squinch my eyebrows and walk out of the room, all this time Rumi was still sleeping but I don't even care. I am so mad at both of those people.

I walk past Camen and suddenly get a wave of guilt for what I did to his pretty face. I sigh and get a cloth wet from the bowl of water next to the dorment sink. I go over to him and get a hint of a smile on my face as I wipe at the dried blood on his jaw line. The blood is stuck to the small bit of stubble on his face and is hard to get off. I have to wipe a little harder and end up waking him up from his light doze.

"So the wicked witch has a heart." he says quietly, looking deep into my eyes and it feels like he can see everything I've ever done, all my sins and all of my heart break. It feels like he has exposed the fact I am just closed up to emotions and boring through life, not looking behind me.

"What is with people and referring to me as a wicked witch?" I ask in a snarling tone which I quickly take back "Sorry."

"It's fine. Maybe you would prefer Grinch? Maybe your heart will grow so big it explodes from a withered thing to a humongous organ that destroys your body into tiny pieces." He says then laughs as he imagines what that would look like.
