No, Im not human

Chapter 5

I can't sleep. I toss and turn for, about, 10 or 15 minutes. I roll over to look at winter, who is lightly snoring. Well, more like heavy breathing.

I get up out of my bed, careful not to wake Winter, and walk over to the side of her bed. I really don't know why I got up in the first place, I don't even know what I'm going to do. Before I realize what I wanted to do, I was reaching out to touch her arm.

I take another step closer and extend my arm towards her.

What am  doing?! This is rude! I shouldn't touch people while their sleeping!!

I take one more step towards Winter and my skin connect with the upper part of her arm. As soon as i touch her, I jump back and press my back against the wall.

Why is she like that? What is she? I need to find out, but not now! I'm terrified! I'm going to the Lou.

As i make my way to the bathroom, I hear a creak of a door and I turn around to face the direction that the noise came from.

As I abruptly stop, my eyes meet Winter's. I fall to the ground in shock and fright. She has her arms crossed, in a disappointed manner.

"Why did you do that?" she spat, very harshly, at me.

"d-do what?" I say back, still sitting on the floor. I'm suddenly starting to feel really cold.

"Touch. Me." She said back in the same tone as before.

"b-b-because i-i wanted t-to know why y-you are f-freezing." I say, stuttering more, out of fright and coldness.I look down at my hands and they are a mixture of light blue and light purple. What is happening?! It looks like frostbite on my fingers, but its 75 degrees in this house!

Is she doing this to me?!

"w-w-winter? w-w-whats h-happening to me?." I say, still terrified. I look up at her again and she loosens the seriousness of her posture to realize that she was the one who was causing me to turn blue and purple.

She looks down at me and smiles kindly before going down on her knees in front of me. I look at her in confusion.

She looks up at me and notices the way that i am looking at her, "Trust Me. and I have something to tell you, since i cant keep it a secret anymore. When our parents are asleep, I will tell you in our room."

Before I could say anything else, she places one finger on my lips to tell me to silence my actions. She drops her hands and cups them around mine.

I watch at what she does very carefully. First, she started to rub on my hands, creating friction between both of our conjoined hands.

She looks up at me once more and smiles, a warm smile. She, then, goes back to concentrate on my hands.

I want to say something but I stop myself when she stops what she was doing before, and stands in front of me. I look down at my hands, and im warm again. Once I look up to thank her, she is gone.

I look up to where winter was standing, but finding her gone. I look around for her but she is nowhere in sight. I stand and rush to the Lou, i still need to go.

 After returning from the Lou, I decide to look for winter and my parents. I walk down the staircase, and they are all in the kitchen, once again.

I have noticed that we spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

I walk towards everyone, waiting for them to notice me enter the room.

"Hi, sweetie." My mother says to me, without looking up from what she is doing.
