Broken Knowledge

Chapter 6

     No! Mara thought. This is it! We're done, we're caught, were done, were caught!
     "Is that a..." One of the Inklings at the front of the crowd started.
     "Yo!" A voice said from above."Is that a human?!"
     Alan looked up, and then he realized his cap fell off.
     Mara was in a state of panic that she had never been in before.
     "Mara," Alan said."Get on my back, piggy back."
     "What?!" Mara exclaimed.
     "JUST DO IT!" Alan shouted.
Mara got onto Alan's back, piggy back style, and held on for dear life.
     "Hold on!" Alan shouted.
     "I kinda already a-AHHHH!"
Alan literally started wall jumping.(He was doing what the guy was doing minus the editing though, ignore the Rayman Legends noises and just pay attention to the guy wall jumping)

     "YO!" The familiar voice shouted."How is it doing that! And with an Inkling clinging to his back!"
     He can't do this! Mara thought. He's pushing himself too hard already!
     Alan barely broke a sweat as he wall jumped to the roof. It was as if he had done this before.
     Alan looks at the crowd of shocked and furious Inklings and Octolings. And before he started running with Mara to get away, he pointed his fist towards the crowd, and raised his middle finger.
     A cry of exclamation and anger arose from the crowd. Alan didn't understand how they understood what the middle finger meant, but he was kinda glad they did.
     Mara suddenly yelled,"C'MON LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!"
     "Okay I'm-" Alan suddenly hunched over and spat out blood, violently.
     "ALAN!" Mara cried. She immediately ran to his side.
     "Dammit!" She said as she helped him up."I knew I never should've let you do that little trick you did! You pushed yourself too hard!"
     Without asking for permission, Mara lifted Alan's shirt up to look at her stitches.        

Alan let out a cry of exclamation when she did this, but didn't resist. They didn't appear damaged, but she knew that she couldn't let him do anything like his again without risking damaging said stitches.
     "I'm fine!" Alan insisted."Let's go!"
     Mara narrowed her eyes at him, but didn't say anything.
     They started running as fast as they could, jumping from roof top to roof top, taking advantage of the fact the buildings were so close together.
     The helicopter tried to keep up with them, but it couldn't because it was hindered by the platform that was tethered under it.
     Once they got away, they inconspicuously made their way to Mara's home.
     Once inside, they both caught their breath and sighed in relief.
     "That was too close!" Alan said angrily.
     "Yeah, and now my kind knows of your existence!" Mara said.
     Alan was about to say something, but gagged. He ran to the bathroom and Mars could hear him retching into the toilet.
She ran to his side. She could see the toilet water was red with blood.
     "You need rest," She said."C'mon."
     She helped Alan stand up, and guides him to her bedroom. She helped him lay down. Mara then, went and got a rag and cleaned the blood off his face.
     "Man, I think I really might die." Alan muttered, Mara could barely hear him and had to listen closely, but she did hear what she said.
     "No you won't," She reassured him."Just get some sleep, okay."
Alan nodded, and fell asleep almost immediately.
     Mara say on the side of the bed and looked at him.
     Can I really like him like that? She thought. He's a human! I mean, seriously! Mara shook her head. I'm an Inkling, he's a human, we could never make anything work. But that won't stop me from at least trying.
     Mara curled up on the bed beside Alan and thought, is it really that bad if I think I might be falling in love with you?

-_-

     When Mara woke up the next morning, Alan hadn't moved a muscle, other than wrapping an arm around her.
     She blushed and pushed his arm away. Then she got up and walked into her bathroom. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
I need to take a shower! She thought angrily. I can't believe I let myself forget to fucking shower!
     She immediately stripped down and got into the shower. She stood in the relaxing flow of warm water and thought about the previous night.
     It's definitely not good that Alan was seen! The Inklings will be on high alert for any sign of him now!
     She sighed. Should I really be falling in love with a human? He's not even of my kind and my fellow Inklings will be trying to hunt him down for who knows what. And we literally just met a few days ago! Am I really that sure that's how I feel about him?
     Mara sighs again. And does he even share the feeling? I really hope he does.
     Mara washes up and after she's clean, she wraps a towel around herself and pokes her head out of the bathroom.
     He's not gonna scare me like that again! She thinks. The first time was a very embarrassing situation!
     "Alan?" Mara calls out. When there's no response, she assumes he's still asleep and walls to her bedroom.
     Alan was still asleep just like she thought. She pulls the clothes she wants to wear out(black t-shirt, short shorts[again, what the fuck?] with green stripes on sides.)
     She takes the clothes into the bathroom and gets dressed in there. Once dressed, she brushes her teeth and squeezes excess water from her hair(tentacles?!)
When she walks out again, she shrieks in surprise when she practically walked into Alan.
     "What the hell,"she said angrily."You need to stop doing that!"
     "Sorry!"Alan exclaimed."I'm just naturally sneaky and quiet."
     "Hmm." Mara narrows her eyes at him but says nothing.
     "You never finished answering my questions." She said.
     Alan signed."Alright fine. Let's get this over with."
     They went into the living room and sat on the couch.
     "Ask away."Alan said.
