Embrace The Flames

PART. 5- Hello...?

Unknown P.O.V

One year later...

11 o'clock. Carrying a grocery bag filled with snacks for my siblings and I. I walked past the empty and dark park that is always filled with people. I gotta get back home, it's too dangerous to be walking out here alone. The street lights were about 5 feet away from each other,having enough light to make me feel a little bit safe. A man could be walking behind asking me, "What's a 15 year old kid walking the streets alone?" I shuddered at that thought. My dark clothes should blend me into the darkness. Too bad my hair is blond.

An alleyway popped up beside me, which is a shortcut to my apartment that I shared with my siblings. My brother is going to kill me for being so late, which he let go to the dollar store. As I walked down the alleyway, I heard footsteps behind me, and they sound like they were running. I turned around and was met with a force to my body and was knocked down to the ground. I let a groan out as the force lifted up away from me and I hear a girls voice.

"Oh my god! Are you okay? I didn't see you there!" The girls voice said.

 A soft and warm pair of hands grabbed mine and lifted me up. A few wall lights gave me a good look at her and I immediately blushed. She looked about 14 years old, had a pair of cute black low pigtails, whiskers on both of her cheeks which made her more adorable, brown beautiful skin, a black and red stripped sweater, a black mini skirt, with a pair of black knee socks, and black converse. I've never seen anyone looked this amazing in my life. I swallowed hard looking at here. Her head tilted confused.

"Are you going to say something?" She asked, slightly annoyed. I shook my head, getting rid of my thoughts. "It's okay. Th- Thanks..." I manged to speak out. I started in her beautiful eyes, that oddly was a light blue but quickly turned to a dark chocolate color, but I shook it off, thinking it was my imagination.

"Heh. Sorry again. What's your name dude? My name is Blossom, Blossom Cage." She grinned and held our her hand for a handshake. Her grin made me stupidly swoon. I can't believe a stranger is making me feel like this. I shook her hand.

"My name is Luke, Luke Winters." I slightly smiled. "Ummm.. Do you think I'll see you again?..."I almost whispered out. There was an uncomfortable silence. Crap. Maybe I should've asked that... I slowly turned around to walk away. "So- sorry I asked. It's okay to s-" I was interrupted by a side hug. Her body is really warm. It was the middle of October, she's pretty warm for cold weather. It made me want to hug her and not let go.

"Probably not. But if we do, we'll talk more, okay Luke?" Blossom asked. Her beautiful grin swoon me once again.  I smiled and nod. She gave a friendly wave and ran the way I was heading. But once I reached to the end of the alleyway, she was gone. I sighed deeply. Hopefully, I'll see her again...
