Alison's Curse

Hide Out

After dinner Alison decided to explore, she walked down the hall and found some books "You have books!" She excitedly yelped

"Yeah?"

"Back in my town i went to the library basically daily!" She said grabbing all the books and looking at them

"Oh, really?" he said smiling

"Yeah i cant believe you have books"

"Well what am i supposed to do all day?" He said with a grin

"Well I mean you are basically stranded out here" She looks back at him with a sarcastic grin

"I got the chance to snag some books before coming out here" He replied picking up one and dusting it off "this is my personal favorite" He said with a smile

She walked across the room to him and looked down at the book "Harry Potter?" She said unimpressed

"The books are better then the movies" He said putting it back

Something in the corner of Alison's eye caught her attention, a book with what seems to be gold embedded into the leather cover. She walked over and dusted it off "what book is this?" She mumbled to herself as she flipped through the pages "Shit" he said snatching the book out of her hand "this is the only book you cant touch okay?" He said putting it back "okay, why," she asked curiously "its nothing," he said storming out and walking to his room on the end of the hall to the right, and closed the door. Alison walked to his room and knocked on the door "you Okay Zander?" She asked "I'm fine it's getting late I'm going to head to sleep you should too," he said with a creaky voice "O-okay," she said not wanting to overstep her boundaries. She went back to her room and laid on the hard bed "this mattress is kind of hard but beggars can't be choosers" she thought to herself. Her thoughts went wild on what was in the book Zander didn't want her to find out. She stared out the hole onto the rice field as she drifted to sleep. She woke up to the sound of Zander shouting "Wake up!" Outside of her room "Whyyyyy", she groaned as she got up and walked out the door "I'm going to go hunting for meat, you stay here and watch the cottage" he said with a handmade spear in his hand "okay just warn me before you walk in with a bloody animal" she said with a disgusted look on her face "sure" he said walking out the door. She walked back into the miniature library and stared at the forbidden book "I guess a peek wouldn't hurt" she whispered to herself as she grabbed the book and flipped through it

Page 1 was big letters saying "Family" she flipped to the next page where it was a photo of a woman with dark brown hair, big blue eyes and light brown tinted skin holding a baby that had dark brown hair, red mischievous eyes and a bright smile on the side it said "Momma with Zander" she flipped through a few more pages when she landed on a page which showed Zander who looked around seven years old playing outside in the mud with two other kids. On the side, it said "Zander on a play date" Alison aww'd at all the little kids playing around

She felt bad about invading Zander's privacy so she decided to put the book back. She walked to her room and flopped on her bed waiting for him to come home since he is the only company she actually has. A few hours later she heard the door open "I'm home!" She heard Zander's voice shout "is there blood?" She shouted back "Yeah," he said cutting up the small animal he managed to catch "ew," she said silently. A few hours late Zander calls her to dinner. She walks over and sits down "so whats on the menu today?" She asked as he brings a plate over "pork and rice" he said handing her a plate then sitting down "okay" she said as they began to eat " so whats in the book?" She asked breaking the silence "Why?" He said as he stops eating "curiosity" she said looking up from her plate "its nothing to be concerned about" he said dully "Why don't you want to show me" she asked "Why are you so nosy" he snapped back angrily "s-sorry" he said then getting up

And putting his dish in the sink then walking away angrily "wait zan-" she said before he closed the door to his room "shit" she whispered to herself as she poked her rice.
