Ice cream Thief

Chapter Thirty

"Alice..this is so..so.. sweet oh my goodness" Indie gushed as tears welled her emotional eyes and leaked from the corners as she sat down on one of the empty tables.

"well it is an ice cream shop so I'd hope it were sweet hehe" Alice said managing a weak laugh as he sweat beyond compare. His nerves were clearly showing and Indie didn't know why he would feel this way around her I mean she was just Indie, just Indie right? She possibly couldn't have had this effect on him or could she?

Alice handed her a scoop of ice cream as they got up and walked out of the shop into the breezy day outside. Indie wrapped her scarf tighter around her neck with one hand as she balanced the ice cream in the other. Her boots crunched the ice beneath her shoes as they walked towards the cinema.

It was already January, but it seemed winter was in no mood of leaving anytime soon. Indie didn't even notice his absence beside her until she felt a ball of snow hit her backside and make her stumble a bit. She smirked as her lip curled upward.

"You're on" She challenged as she balled up a nice big snowball and raised her hand as she aimed it and shot it right at him hitting him square in the chest knocking the wind out of him as he fell on the floor in a fit of laughter.

While amidst a heated round of snowball fight, neither teen noticed the air change as their surroundings got eerily quiet. The usual public of children and moms now nowhere in sight as a shady man approached the unaware teens.

Indie stopped in her tracks holding up the newly made snowball as she slowly turned at the sound of a knife being unsheathed. Her eyes widened and gasped as the man thrust the knife into hee abdomen watching the first drop of blood fall into the blanket of white beneath.

Alice was frozen, not because of the snow but the shock. He felt temporarily paralyzed as he watched the first drop drip and then he shocked himself with his next actions.

Anger and fury inundated him as he lunged for the masked guy and through in a couple punches before getting hit on the head and falling unconscious. Last he heard was Indie screaming his name through the tears that lined her entire face.

Indie winced in pain as she removed the knife, slowly and weakly trudging towards Alice. Her hands cupped his face and then hugged him as she wept herself till exhaustion before collapsing like a lump on his unconscious body waiting for someone to notice and bring help. In her fatigueness, she couldn't even bring herself to stay awake as her eyes slowly closed as she drifted off into a long long sleep.
