Fallen Crimson

Chapter Two

        “Hey! It just occurred that you’ve never been to my house! Since you’ve been staying in a hotel since we met. Come on, let’s go!” Eren exclaims while we’re walking through town getting food at a local market.

         They had entered his house through the back entrance though. It was a bit strange but she didn’t really care. She was so excited! “Yay! We’re here! It’s so nice!” Crimson lilted.

         “You have to be a bit quieter. Please? My dog will hear us and bark. He will wake the neighbors and they will complain again, and they said if he wakes them up again, he will get taken away.”

        “Oh ok. Sorry.” She whispered.

        “Thank you.” Eren replied quietly.

        “Can I meet him? Please? The dog I mean” Crimson asked.

        “Ok. But be warned, he will kiss you and jump on you!” Eren giggled as he started to walk to a certain room.

        Crimson followed him and when he stopped, she went in and layed down on the floor. She heard the pitter patter of paws and expected a big angry dog, but really, he was a tiny shihtzu. When he walked over to Crimson, she read his collar. On his collar, it said his name was Jack. He was adorable! “Aww! Well aren't you just the cutest?”

        Jack jumped on her and liked her face. Crimson was now covered in slobber. He was so fluffy and soft.  “Are you okay?” Said a muffled Eren through the door.

        “Yeah, I’m good. You can come in if you want. He’s cute!”

        “I know right?” Eren commented as he opened the door and walked towards Crimson.

        After playing with Jack for about twenty minutes, Eren decided to give Crimson a tour of the rather large house.

        “Well, It’s really not much downstairs, but upstairs is really nice! You’ll love it!” He laughed as they walked up steep stairs to an extremely nice area with a very cool vibe. He led her around occasionally stopping to explain something or show her the room better.

        “This next room is mine.” Eren stated happily.

         He led her into a big room with a bathroom, three windows, and a closet. He had a bunch of posters that covered up most of his wall space. The rest of the space was used as an art wall. There were drawings of several things like for instance, he drew Jack and it looked great. He also drew angels. One of which looked strangely like Crimson, but not exact. The wings were the same, but the person herself was completely different. You couldn’t see her hair, her face, or really anything else but the wings. Underneath the drawing of the angel, it said 不明の恋人, Michi no koibito, which translates to “unknown lover”. He was a really good artist.

        “Do you like it? The drawing I mean. I saw her once in a dream, so ever since then, I have been trying to find her to see if she actually is real. She kind of looked like you, but she couldn’t be you because you aren’t an angel. If you were, I would be able to tell.”

        “Yes. They are amazing. And I obviously can’t be an angel, because I would be in Heaven. Hehe.” Crimson awkwardly said.

        “Hm. Well, what do you think about my room? Cool right? I did all of this myself, from the art to the painting.”

        “Wow. that’s amazing! I really like it. So you did all of this  by yourself?” Crimson awed.

        “Yup. I think it turned out well, don’t you? I finished all of this about a week ago actually. Oh wow. It’s two in the morning! And I met you sometime around eleven! I think we should head to sleep. You can take the guest room if you like since you have been staying in the motel for so long. It’s the second room to the left.”
        “Oh ok. Actually, can I sleep on the floor in here or  something?” Crimson blushed.

        “Oh. Uh. Sure, if you really want to. The pillows are in my closet.”

        “Ok. Thank you. You are so kind Eren.” Crimson replied as she went in the closet and grabbed three pillows and two blankets and fixed herself a cozy bed on the floor. She fell asleep in about five minutes. Eren then fell asleep after reading for about an hour. When it had become 3:47, he had decided to get some rest. When he woke up in the morning though, Crimson was laying right next to him, crying!
