Peter Malone: Full POV Collection

Jocelyn

~Peter's Pov~

It had been two days know since my encounter with Sky and it was almost like she was avoiding me. I would look at her, but she would keep her head down as if she had given a piece of herself away to me and now she regretted the thought of my existence. Well hey on the bright side I had managed to avoid Dante's creepy advances on me for two days, thank the heavens. Perhaps I shouldn't have spoken so soon, a familiar tap on my shoulder sent chills up my spine. I hesitantly turned around, but I already had guessed who it was. Those amber eyes stared at me almost as to put me in a trance. Oh dear lord save me, this guy can't get any creepier. Dante held up a basket filled with ripe red strawberries, "want one?" I lied, he just got a hell of a lot creepier. "Um sure." Hey what can I say I was hungry and it looked delicious. without any thought I picked one up and bit into it, the taste was so divine, like pure gold. "Good right? Talia picked them fresh." He smiled, but I could feel my body grow numb as I forced myself to sallow. Talia picked them?! I don't know what scared me more the fact that I had just ate something picked from the queen of creepy or the fact Dante was going to eat the whole basket. I looked back at the basket, nothing remained but an empty whole where berries once sat. Danta had a red strawberry drop on the side of his lip, "oh you have something," I reached and touched his face to wipe the drop away. Dante's cheeks grew red and he abruptly grabbed my hand. "Oh Peter I didn't know you had such feelings for me." He said caressing my cheek. I quickly jumped away from him, "no, no, it's not like that!" I frantically tried to explain, but he pushed his left index finger to my lips, " Shhhh, you don't have to explain anything. I know it's hard to resist my charming looks." He swooshed his blonde hair to the left and I just sighed, there was no explaining when it came to this guy. I really wanted, no I needed to talk to Sky and mend things over, but how do you politely tell someone to get the hell away your creeping me out!? " I am terribly sorry Dante, but I must go talk to Sky now." Wow I am surprised I can keep it together so well, this place must be rubbing off on me. " Well of course, but I'll be waiting for you little Hawk." Dante smiled and I eagerly rushed off to Sky who was standing near a wall examining it's every detail. It didn't surprise me, she heard me coming. "Yes Peter what is it?" I barely had enough time to breathe before her words came out. "Are you mad at me?" I question her, though I don't think that is the case at all. "No why would you think something like that?" I couldn't tell if she was being serious or sarcastic right now. It was pretty clear she had been avoiding me lately. "Well after the rose the other day." she cut off my sentence, "just forget it ever happened, okay?" She never looked at me once, almost as if she couldn't stand to face me after she had time to think about her actions. "Now if you would excuse me I have things to do." She quietly shuffled away. It is a shame she can't open up to me, but I guess that is just what she is used to. Come to think of it everyone here has something they do so no one can get too close to them. Do I have something I do? No I think it's just no one has asked me about myself really. I am actually very willing to open up and get to know people, that is if they are willing to do the same. I guess I should try to understand Dante a little more before I judge the fact that he kind of is all over me. Maybe before he came here he didn't have very many friends. Everything is still new to me, I haven't really settled in yet, maybe Dante could help with that. Yeah I'll give him a chance, he is one of the few people I'm close with. I scan the clearing, searching for the blonde hair boy. There he is sitting alone on a chair outside his house. I casually pace towards him, planning what I should say. "Hey Dante, looking for company?" I politely ask him. His face turns to a smile as he reaches behind and pulls out a folding chair. "Well isn't that ironic, I have an empty chair right here!" It was as if he was waiting, planning, hoping I would come over to him. I sat in the fold chair across from in, back facing the clearing. The camp was alive with the sound of everyone moving about. "So Dante, seen Talia around lately?" I ask, curious of her whereabouts. He looked face to face with me, "I think she went out early this morning, who knows where that blue eyed beauty runs off to." He seemed oddly confused to where she went all the time. I guess it is understandable though, she doesn't stay in camp often. I put my head down to look at my hands in my lap, "you sure do speak highly of all the girls around here, is there anyone special to you though?" I cautiously ask, it would be nice to get to know him a bit. I sat waiting for a reply when I realized, the camp had grown silent. I looked up at Dante, he was starring behind me. I turned my head to see what had caught his attention, what I saw was not what I expected to see. A girl with raspberry color hair stood tall in the middle of the clearing. I had never seen this girl before, she looked older and had ice blue eyes that sent chills up my spine. Everyone was just starring at her without a word. A dark figure came slowly walking through the entrance of the camp. "Well would you look who it is." Talia mockingly said as she strolled through, wherever she had gone to she was back now. "Talia always a pleasure to see you." The girl sarcastically said, did Talia just have a feud with everyone? Sadie was the first to speak out, "Jocelyn what a surprise to see you here." She seemed shocked the girl now called Jocelyn was at the camp. "Well I do still live here, I guess it's only ideal that I return sometimes." Jocelyn threw her left hand onto the top of her sword she was carrying on her side. Talia was only about thirty feet away holding a chain in both hands. Jocelyn drew out her blade prepared to attack the blue hair girl. Dex suddenly jumped down and landed in between the two girls. Talia came to a halting stop behind him and Jocelyn was only inches away from his face. "Let me finish her Wolf!" Talia hissed. She seemed enraged in a different kind of way. I quickly looked around, everyone including Dante looked a bit on edge. "Dante whats going on?" I whispered to him and he leaned in. "Jocelyn hasn't returned in two years." he whispered back and leaned out. His words only left me with more questions as I turned back to watch the scene that was playing out in the middle of the clearing. Black hair caught the corner of my eye as Felony started to run out, katana in hand. Aidan quickly dashed after her and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her down. "Let me go! She deserves to die!" Felony stormed as Aidan pinned her to the ground. "Talia, stand down." Wolf spoke and Talia unwillingly walked backwards fifty feet. Sadie was the next to move, but she did it more calmly without a weapon. Jocelyn put her sword away and turned her back to Dex to now face Sadie. "Sadie it's-" Jocelyn's words were cut off by the slap of Sadie's hand across her face. Jocelyn's head turned left and she was left looking down. "How dare you have the nerve to come back!" Sadie's harsh tone surprised me. "Sadie just walk away." Wolf calmly stated. As Sadie turned a walk away Jocelyn quickly drew out her blade and began to thrust it at Sadie's back. Without time to even breath Wolf quickly wrapped his hands around Jocelyn's arms and threw then to her sides. Her sword fell to the ground and Sadie stopped dead in her tracks. "How dare you think you could touch me. I'm untouchable." Were Sadie's final words before she walked off into the forest disappearing into the clearing. What on Earth had just happened. The only thing left in the middle of the clearing was Wolf clinching onto the arms of a raspberry haired girl with a look in her eyes that made me want to run.
