Escape

chapter 6

                                                     Unknown P.O.V

" why though?" She asked pressing on more than I'd like her to.

" Because you caught my eye. You were you ." I responded smoothly not thinking twice about my answer because well it  was true.

  I was eleven at the time and it was a school day like always I ditched and like always my parents didn't care and my teachers would be grateful I was gone not making their lives hell. I was walking towards the park when I noticed a little girl sitting on the grass with her head down between her legs and arms. I was curious at the time who it was and went to go push her and call her a baby and pick on her, but something hit me. It was a weird feeling but at the moment all I wanted to do is go over to her and comfort her and be there for her. I wanted to tell how everything was going to be okay and how I was here for her even though i don't know her, but at the moment I didn't care, I just wanted to be near her. I headed towards her with no second thoughts; I got down on my knees and placed my hand on her shoulder her head lifted up quickly her face not showing fear but sadness. Her face was pale and her cheeks were stained red from her tears, her eyes are bloodshot red and puffed. Looking closely at her it looks like she hasn't had sleep in a while, anger washed over me as well as sickness of worry. Who would be such a monster to make this beautiful, sweet, innocent girl cry.

" Are you okay?" I asked concerned for her. 

" Who are you?" She managed to say with a little voice.

" No one important, but are you okay?"  she looked at me and nodded still no sign of fear just sadness. I was crushed when my eyes met hers, she was just a little girl and her eyes held in so much pain and sadness that it made me even more mad. 

" Do you want to talk about it, I'm all ears." I suggested while making my ears go up and down. It earned me a little laugh and a small smile and I laughed a bit myself it made me feel happy to make her smile for once in my whole life I feel complete and I feel like my heart is beating faster and my face heats up as I see her smile at me because of me.

" It's okay sir, I don't want to fill you up with my childish problems I understand that you are trying to be polite but I'm okay." She answered sounding like a mature person. I took one look at her and she couldn't be more than 7 she was small and had long black silky hair, her lips were small but full , her eyes were dark brown when I first saw them but when I took another look at her they were hazel. 

" Well aren't you a mature one." Smirking at her and raising an eyebrow " Well I'm here if you need anything, so how old are you anyways?"

" oh... I'm nine, my mom says I'm too young and stupid to understand anything and should keep my comments to myself as well as my feelings because no one likes a crybaby and a little bitch. I'm sorry for my profanity sir." Her words roll off her tongue so easily without  hesitation or second thoughts. 

" Well to me you seem very smart and beautiful don't let anyone tell you otherwise because they're just jealous that you're perfect." She looks at me with wide eyes and looks me straight in the eyes to see if I am lying.

" No one is perfect... I didn't get your name sir. If I may ask, what is your name and how old are you?" 

" Well since you asked my name is Kain. Kain Sanchez I'm eleven years old." Holding my hand out to her.

"Oh nice to meet sir-- er I mean Kain." She puts her hand out as well to shake it. " My name is Kathrin, or Kat for short." She gives me a big toothy smile, my heart felt warm and as if it was gonna leave my chest  and without thinking about it I pulled her into a tight hug I expected her to push me away but instead she hugged me back tighter and even buried her head in my chest.

" It was nice meeting you, but I should get going before my parents come home to no supper and I get beat." Her sweet innocent voice went back to cold, low and sad her hazel eyes went back to dark brown; it pained me to see her like that I wanted her to stay longer with me and just hold her forever keep her and have her to myself and from there I knew I loved her and she needed to be mine.

(back to the present)

"Well that doesn't really answer my question, but okay."

" Shall we eat?" I gestured to our food. It's not that i didn't want  to talk about it, it's just I was getting annoyed with so many questions and annoyed by the fact she still didn't know who I was.

" Yea, I am starving."

                                        Kathrin P.O.V

" Shall we eat." He gestured at our food. He's avoiding my questions, and answers them so simply in general. 

"Yea, I'm starving." I pointed out, It's weird honestly I don't know him; yet i feel so comfortable around him. It feels like I was with Jake again, or even... no he left me alone I will never forgive him for leaving. 

" Hey Kat!" He looks at me waving at me, I wave back with a big fat smile on my face feeling warm inside. He was the first person who showed compassion and took the time to get to know me and listen to me.

" What are you doing here?" I asked looking dumbstruck, he doesn't visit unless I ask him to; I felt my face heat up and my hand sweat.

" I came to visit you and see how you been plus I missed you." He looked at me with his big emerald eyes and smiled at me. I couldn't say I was in love because I was still a kid I was eleven now and he was thirteen we were only two years apart that didnt stop him from coming to my house late at night and spending the night sometimes. My parents didn'tknow he came over while they were out drinking, knowing them they wouldn't even care or notice. He's always been a pretty good friend and I want it to stay like that for a long time.
