Shalotte & Aaron

Star Gazing

That stupid alarm , can you believe it's not mine but an alarm ringing through my years from the next room opposite to mine . I reluctantly got up switched off the alarm . It was so irritating I can't even get back to sleep. It's 6 a.m .I mean who wakes at 6 during holidays? oh I forgot my parents are morning birds and my sister too .guess who is not excited ? me. I wandered around the room until I saw the rose I kept on the table from the other day I got from Carl .It's not faded as much a natural rose is supposed to be . still that faint red color is there . Maybe it has something to do with the weather here , what weird rose.
A frost rose.
Since I can't sleep anymore I decided to brush my teeth and have a warm

shower. before I went to shower I looked in the mirror, here I saw a sleepy but couldn't sleep morning face .When I was little I always thought I was ugly and fat . so I went through painful diets ,cry my slef to sleep. I was sixteen when felt almost suicidal . I developed a eating disorder too. I wish I knew that everyone is beautiful in their own way & it gets better and okay by time .
All it takes is healthy exercises and healthy meals and most importantly faith in yourself . I feel sorry for younger Sharlotte . She locked herself from family ,friends and held pain for long time . I came after a long shower and I wore a pink lase top with grey color jeans and I still have to dry my hair . I have black long hair that goes to my waist . while I was drying my hair I could hear my parents talking , but not what exactly they are talking .
knock knock ! a loud unrythemic thumps on my door
Oh I know who this is , Hailey
"Hey Hails"
"Gummornig Lotte " she stumbled those words like a champ.
Good morning , baby you just woke up ? Here lets get you downstairs, I told by picking her up letting her curl up her legs around my waist .how did you even manage to open the door of your room?
Did I mention that my parents made a golden decision by adopting Hails .
this pretty munchkin was gifted to us when she was 1 year old . I always wanted a sibling . and you won't believe she doesn't look different from us . she has cute curls .I mean how awesome is that .
"Good morning ladies " my dad said before taking a sip of his coffee
I was about to bring hails downstairs , I help her to sit down and start feeding her serial .
so does star gazing planning happening ? I asked while feeding Hails a another spoon of serial .
"yeah , we'll do it tonight and guess what James family is also joining us" said dad .
I nodded and I never knew dad has friends in this town .he has friends everywhere .
morning and afternoon passed quickly as me and my mom baked Christmas cake, and a blue berry pie and we made pastries for the outing today. my mom is pretty good at cooking , you should try her blue berry cheese cake . its addicting . Hails also loves it. so I guess this is pretty much it what we need for tonight , the food basket, paper plates , coffee flask , cups and a mat . I checked again just in case my mom forget something .

I wore a comfy but cute sweatshirt and had my cloves and beany prepared , and I'm glad I get to wear this brand new boots I got as a gift . my parents and Hails are down in the hall and I can their merry laughs from my here my room. I loosed my hair and let it be in it's natural curls and wore cherry colored lip balm since my lips become dry quickly .

We drove for like thirty minutes and came to this open area ,with tents placed here and there .It's right beside the road .so we parked our car and walk towards it . "Thomas , My mate" the man I assumed to be James came up to us and gave my dad a warm hug and welcomed us . There was a huge bonfire in that plain area and people gathered around it seem to enjoying the company of their neighbors . we couldn't bring a tent but thankfully James has already built a one for four of us . so we place the mat inside it and placed our food basket . we walked to the bonfire . I see some familar faces . The merry Christmas greetings I got while I was walking to grocery store . they seem to be enjoying themselves chatting and enjoy something like hot coffee .We couldn't believe how beautiful the night sky is .
pouring with stars
James explained some of the stars are visible for every 75 years . My sister and mom went into the tent as Hails might get a cold if she stay outside . The woods surrounding us , making tree leaves hum because of breeze ,gave us all such a peaceful feeling . I grabbed a pastry from mom and decided to take a walk. I told my parents I'm gonna take a look around.
I adjusted my beanie and put my hands awesome pockets in my jacket and started walking . I know someone might think that I'm crazy for walking into the thick cold woods than staying around the bonfire. I don't know something about this quiet walk by myself made my heart at ease. I can hear people gathered around the bon fire singing songs merrily. While I was walking a conversation start hear from a distant . since there was enough moonlight to lit the path I was walking I figured out where the conversation coming from. From the voices they are two men & they were arguing about a trespassing. Is it still a thing trespassing. One of them grabbed the by the collar of the other and I couldn't hear what he exactly said . so the dumb me took a another step forward making a fallen twig snap apart and making sound .
Both of them glared at me .then at the same moment one of them punched the other and ran into woods further .
The person who was punched is now laying on the ground unconscious .
so I went near him and tried to wake him up and do whatever I can .
" hey Mister are you okay ? , lets get you to a hospital "
no sign of move , what should I do ? his bare hands are cold , I mean who would come outside winter without gloves . I put my gloves on hime and when I was about to put my scarf around his neck he grabbed me from my wrist .
" Who are you? " in aggression.
I jumped backwards without even knowing . um excuse me I was trying to help you , I thought to myself.
He kept looking at me with a frown and next thing I know is my hands are tangled by  scarf I gave it to him in the first place. I am tangled and on the ground and this psycho is above me
" Look there must be a mistake , I was trying to help you " I said and my voice is shaking , he doesn't seem to buy it .guess what he did . He smiled

He has a face of angel , that smile look so warm and yet cocky . Damn it Sharlotte how can you think something like that in a situation like this.  
I can't help crying , My parents must be looking for me . Will he kill me . Who is this ? A psycho
"Please , believe me . I didn't mean to hurt you.You were hit by a another man and he ran into the woods before you collapsed" I  tried one last time.Then he he moved his face closer to mine .His face is too glowing for person who just got hit hard to be collapsed . he studied my crybaby face for a second .
another move , our noses are almost touching eachother .I am supposed to scream out of my lungs for help , I can't understand why I am also stayed calm .
"A human" . He mumbled . That's all he said .
really
Is he for real .
He stood up and picked me up from both of his hands . Still frowning at me . what's with the frown ?
" what do you think you were doing in the middle of dark woods , You NEVER SAW ME and nor shall you speak of my presence here.You understand?  " He said while still holding me .
"Be more careful " He said worryingly and yes frown is still there .
All I could say was okay .
Both of hands are still tied and I cant untangle it . "Can you untangle the scarf from my hands " I tried to be polite as I can .
"Oh  really ". he said and start untangle it looking at my face with a cocky smile .
"Indeed you are a human " He said

"What do you mean I am a human , you assumed I'm a vampire"' That came out of my mouth without me  even realizing it. I regret it

He started walking towards me .
He is intimidating . I took a one step at a time backwards while he took steps towards me .
"hahaha , babygirl you are weak .All humans are weak ."  he untangle the scarf and put it over my head .by the time I take it off he is gone .
Who is he
what did he meant by ,humans are weak .
