Seven: Silver's Approach

Were gonna put a spin on this and make it in Silver's POV...'Cause why not!

That little brat is annoying, Alister, he's always talking to me like I'm his friend. Well I'm not his friend. And I never will be his friend. And he's always bugging me, getting me into trouble. I hate that. Alberich should have just dumped him on the streets. He's not that special anyways. I sighed and went out into the room where Alister was.

I had to clean. I picked up the broom and started to sweep. The smell of sweat and metal rose up my nose, as I could almost taste the copper of Alister's blood. I glanced at the finger that Alister bit and cringed. Still can't believe he bit me. It didn't really hurt but it was annoying because it wouldn't stop bleeding. I stopped to notice Alister staring at me.

"What you want?" I said glaring at him with glowing eyes. My mature posture now loosened. But he said nothing, he just looked up at me with his manipulating eyes. "Don't think I'm going to apologize to you kid." I snorted as I began to sweep again. Dust parties flying all around the air, as dust bunnies run away from the dust pan.

"I don't want an apology." Alister grumbled behind the bars of the cage. I could hear him shuffling to his feet. His feet scuffing the floor with every step. It was like his feet were mocking me too. I just continued to sweep and pretended to ignore him.

I swept the whole floor then threw everything into a garbage can. I then moved some chairs into the room and set up a table.

"You missed a spot." Alister said smiling at me intensely with irritated eyes.

I turned to look at him, his eyes shining wildly and his grin was wide now.
"What?" I said plainly. Then looked around at the dusted floor, no dirt in sight. I glanced back to Alister and he pointed to the ground in front of his cage. Oh. Great...I also have to sweep there and inside the cage too. Great.

I sigh deeply, taking the broom over to the cage and started to sweep. I attempted to sweep quickly but Alister kept talking back and forth to me. Making me get in an angry mood.

"Why are you ignoring me?" He finally said dryly. His eyes clung to me like a spider web.

"Because I'm trying to get my work done...why do you seem more annoying today?" I said with an irritation in my voice. Yes Alister seemed innocent but he knew more than what he was letting on and what he said still got to me. He kept going on about feelings but then he mentioned that I was getting my heart tied in a knot. Who does he think he is? He doesn't know anything. It's not like I liked him or anything. Or do I?  But he also kept going on about talking about your feelings and not keeping them in. 

I shook the thoughts from my head and looked to Alister. He was still leaning against the bars but in a sassy way, it reminded me of myself in a way and I sighed. Then he sighed at me and crossed his arms, he didn't have any cuffs on anymore and was just free to wander in the cage. Again his two different colored eyes dug into what was left of my good soul.

I finally swept up the rest of the floor in front of Alister's cage. I threw the garbage away and unlocked his cage. I took some cuffs and hand handcuffed Alister to the bar and let him sit on a bench.

"You afraid I'm going to run away while you clean? I ain't going nowhere." Alister was starting to sound like himself again. The squeakiness coming back into his words.

"Just an act of precaution." I quickly responded.

He nodded, "Yeah...I wouldn't trust me neither." His quote made me laugh out loud. I don't think he understood why I laughed but he got that weird sparkle in his eye. I made sure to clean every inch of the cage just like I had to do everyday.
