A tale of two!

Silent Storm

Chapter two

This is supposed to be about Storm so we'll see things for his perspective before they meet again.

I can hear the phone buzzing, it's another wonderful day. I pack something to eat and drink and head out. I take out my phone to call Tiffany, I do this every morning when I'm not working. "Hi, how are you?" I say, assuming she's awake enough to actually answer. "Hi, I'm fine just-yawn-tired" She said yawning because she woke up to my call, like usual. "Are you ready to take a walk to the school?" I said, knowing her answer would be- "Yeah, just need something to e-" I interrupted her before she could say anything more. "Eat. Yes, I know, which is why I packed food today." She has a habit of dragging things on just because she doesn't want to walk this early. "Fuck" She whispered hoping I wouldn't hear it. "Language" I said to her, laughing a bit to myself. "UGH! Ok, I'm coming. And how did you hear that?" She said. "You're not as silent as you think you are. See you soon Tiff." I said rolling my eyes at her. "You were rolling your eyes, weren't you?... It doesn't matter, see ya later Storm!" She said hanging up the call.

I was already outside her house when she came out to meet me. I give her some food and we start walking. "Did you make this? This is delicious" She said shoving the food in her mouth. "Don't eat and speak at the same time. And yes, I did." I said to her, I'm glad she liked it. "Of course you'd like it, you're such a foodie. Ha-ha." I said in a jokingly manner. She swallowed down the rest. "Oh yeah? Well you're- You-" She said as she had some problems coming up with a good insult. "I am?" I asked to get her to finish the sentence. "A big goof!" She yelled. "You left me so on the spot! I wasn't prepared! It's unfair!" She yelled and hit me in the arm. "Pft, you should always be prepared." I said. "You should always be prepared for everything" I said, this time with a little weaker voice. "Why do you even come on these walk with me Tiffany? I have never forced you to." I said, holding the strap of my bag tight. "Well, I know that. Guess it's because I like seeing you happy. You're always alone when I'm not there, so I want to keep you company." She said smiling at me with the sweetest smile. It's nice to hear someone care this much for me.

We're now at the school, it's very old but it still stands up. This is where me and Tiffany first met. I remember sitting here crying, I was so alone and scared. I didn't know what to do, but then she came and asked me if I was ok. I couldn't answer because I didn't know how to. She kissed me on the cheek and asked if I felt better. And despite it not being physical pain, it still made me feel better. She still doesn't know why I cried, but she said it doesn't matter as long as I was happy. The reason I cried was because I was alone, I didn't know anyone. I was really young when she found me, the school wasn't as old and dusty as it is now. I hated being alone and I still do.

...

I heard a sound behind me but I ignore it and talk to Tiffany instead.

"So, what have you been doing this week? Let me guess, sleeping?" I asked Tiffany, joking a bit about how much she sleeps. "Man, I wish but I've been so busy with work that I haven't had the time." She said while yawning. "What work?" I asked. "The usual, helping in my parents' shop. They've been really busy all week, it's extremely weird, we usually don't have that many customers. But, it's all good in the end because I get some money to move out and work with something that I actually enjoy." She said. There was a moment of silence after that. I lay down and look up at the sky, she does the same. I heard the sound again but I'm too busy thinking of what to say to care. I want to tell her, I want to tell her how much she means to me. I've had a crush on her for the longest time without knowing how to tell her. She sits up again and the moment was ruined. "I read in the news yesterday and ... it said- it said there was these monsters going around attacking people." She said. I suddenly remember the sounds behind me. "We-" I said before getting interrupted. "I just told you because... because I want you to be careful, OK?" She said. "I will, but-" I tried again but got interrupted again. "Because I really care for you and don't want to see you get hurt." She said with a sad tone in her voice.

I begin to panic slightly, why now? Why right now? Now is not the right time. I grab her arm and stand up, she seemed shocked. "What-" she said before getting interrupted by me. "We need to leave, now." I said with an almost yelling voice. "What? Why?" she asked, she seemed a bit sad about me saying that. "Not now! We don't have time, we need to leave!!" before I can say anything I get hit in the leg. I fall down on my knees. It doesn't hurt but I can see a lot of blood running down my thigh and onto the ground. I try to stand up again but I can't get my foot to move. Tiffany looks down at my thigh with a worried expression. The monster fires more attacks my way and towards Tiffany, I get hit more times while Tiffany tries to dodge the attacks. Tiffany tries to get me to move but I can't, I have a tight grip around the fence.

Tiffany gets several attacks towards her when she looks over at me, she decides to start attacking the monster. This leads to the monster being more interested in attacking, it was about to leave us alone since we didn't fight back. After a while they start attacking me again. They figured out I was the reason she attacked. Tiffany stands in the way and take the hits. I don't want her to die. I don't want her to die! I DON'T WANT HER TO DIE! I slowly start walking towards her, I wish I could move faster, I grab her and move her so she won't get hit.

...

She's so pretty. I lean towards her and give her a quick kiss. "Leave..." I whisper to her. She looks at me, crying. She doesn't cry very often. "But what about you?" She said, her voice is shaking. "Don't worry about me. If you died I wouldn't be able to live with myself." I whispered, she tried to get me out of the way. I kissed her one more time, their attack is about to hit me.

...

"NO!" she yelled, her voice shaking more than it did before. "NO, DON'T LEAVE ME. DON'T LEAVE ME, PLEASE! YOU- you can't leave me like this." Her voice shaking more and more. She's crying so much, I've never seen her cry this much before. "Leave" I whimpered out.

I wake up, I see the dark night sky above me. I stand up. I can tell I've been hidden by the one who attacked me, but I'm still at the school. I walk out of where I was hidden. There's now a wall as high as a skyscraper. They started that wall a while ago. Me and Tiffany went her one last time because we wouldn't be able to come here anymore once that wall was up. "I can never get back to her" My voice suddenly breaks and I start crying. "I'm so alone, isn't there anyone here?" I think to myself. I take my hands up to get the tears out of my face. ... !! "What? What happened?" I yell louder then I wanted to.

My oh my, look what we have here. Yes, the rest of the story! This took me longer than I would've wanted but I'm still done so it's all good. Now I need to figure out what I want for the next chapter (I've already planned their story I just need to figure out how to write it and in which order). Edit: Ya boy back fixing things again, not many changes in this chapter though lmao.
