Truth

"What is it Alex, your acting strange" said Alice. She finally found the courage to speak first.

"The way your acting, its making me feel uncomforable" told Alice.

Alex maintained his silence for a longer period of time Alice had exspected. She had exspected him to answer back quickly without hesiting but Alice also looked uncomforable.

" your just, mmmmm" Alex mummbled trying to get his few words out without stuttering.

"Repeat that again Alex,  do you think I have i got super hearing?" said Alice sycastically, she was trying despiratly to start a conversation. Eventhough it may transform into a heated, unstoppable arguement. A lot of mean words are better than nothing. If things stayed the same, Alice would never hear the reconizable, soft sound of Alex.

"Your just not ready to know" cried Alex.

Alice was caught of guard, this is the first time she saw Alex cry innocently as It was so unexspected and out of the blue. Alice thought could this place where she was standing, airy countryside letting rare rays of light shimmering hitting the ground have a spiritual meaning. Alex firmly placed his hand on the tree with his head looking in the in the branches high.

Alice loves the enviroment, towering trees to bursts of little flowers therefore it wasent suprising that she noticed the tree. Winters ending but snow still lay on the floor but melting rapidly. Spring is the start of regrowth. The tree was regaining its energy to grow specs of the first leaves, delicate but becoming stronger.

It was a start of rebuilding its life to its original glory, never mind how slow but having the strength to it. The morning of spring to Alice is like christmas to child, magical.

"Can you take me home please" politly asked Alice while Alex was still bowing his head in disapointment.

"Okay" Alex said disappointingly. By the movement, he was taking his time.

Alex agreed to take Alice home even though she will get in deep trouble. Today was depressing because Alice felt seggregated away from her first friend. she shares her only happy memories with Alex. He was pushing away Alice away like he was doing it for Alice but Alice couldent figure out what the mystery was and what he was trying to tell her. never looking her in eyes, never speaking untill spoke to like a servent.

A few metres away from the humble cottage that Alice live in. A place that herself and father call home. Alices mother moved away when she was just a baby. Alice would be the complete differnt to her mother, a person that craves attension and approvle of people while Alice loves being alone, away from the cruel society of people, who judge. From Alice seperating herself, she is safe from harm.

From the pure snow, blood stands out against the white. It looked like blood trickled from something. maybe a weapon but Alice would be guessing. The trailed to the cottage. The weapon in Alices garden. A arrow on the floor. A dead dear killed by the shot that Alices father took. A hunter, killing gods creatures. A figure hid in the shadows lerking to kill the prey, a smaller creature without a chance of surving.

Alices dead wonderd in to the old country garden fetching the prize (a dead dear).

A call came from somewhere in the colourless surrounding indicated to Vincent (Alices father) that his daughter (Alice) was in the field. Vincent put the dear on top of the car to see a very shaken Alice nervious what was going to happen next. A temperd Vincent came running along in the field of snow.

When Alices dad came face to face with Alice. In a momemt her father became redder than a ripe tomato and exspoaded. The loud scream, which her father gave to her made her fall to the floor as if her father had her. Vincent looked curiously into his daughters eyes. She was looking at Alex worrying if her father would blame him for the fact she skipped school. Protecting a friend shows Alice is trusted, worthy, and loyal.

"Dad it was all my fault" begged Alice, trying hard to stop the tears running.

"I know it was you silly, little girl,who do you think it was?" Her dad retaliated. Why has Vincent not noticed Alexs tall figure.

Alice was suprised not by the fact that her dad has not noticed Alex but the grating of Alexs teeth and his eyes pointed in the dirction to her father. If looks could kill.

"I no, just dont take it out of Alex, i asked him to take me to the woods"said Alice still glaring into the mystery eyes Alex beholds.

"You think im mental dont you, me and you are the only people here"said her father stating a fact he believes.

Alice rolled her eyebrows up and looked in wonder in the her fathers eyes, which show a lifetime of lonelyness. Alice not having a mother to hold her when life got hard realy effected her.

"Realy" laughed Alice, protending to smile.

Alice pretended like it was a joke like she does often however but in reality she felt nervious of what was occuring in the present moment.

"So, you think there isnt a boy stood next to me called Alex"

"No" pronounced her father slowly refering Alice as being crazy.

Alices heart melted, the boy she imagioned was just an illusion.

Alice turned to her left to see Alex to witness him still standing there. He didnt make eye contact with Alice because he didnt know how to exsplain it on the spot. Alex parms became sweaty and in because she was so scared. Alex slowly moved his head to look into Alices pure and precious eye while Alice looked upon his in rage and fury. He said one small  intreging sentence.

"Ill tell you in your dreams to night"

Alice looked in confusion but she coulden talk back just in case her father refers her to a mental hospital. Alice walked home to harwick cottage up ahead lead by her father. It seemed like Alice was going to be grounded for a lifetime but her father is a forgiving person.

shaken trying to stop tears from flowing. headache and heartache all effected Alice. A girl with a broken smile and now a broken heart, not knowing what she belived in. Now she is a broken Alice, trying to put the pieces back together.
