A few years have passed. Sitting in the corner and writing some business notes. Easy way to earn money. Not as expected but .. Rainy days in September, unexpected but pleasant. Redheaded girl sitting in her comfortable armchair. Laptop on her lap and coffee mug next to her. Her comfort zone is in that corner since she left her job and moved on. She never thought about the past, she didn't have to. Everything that happened she left there, in that old house that smells like alcohol and cigarettes. Sometimes the wounds hurt, it's not easy to leave everything you loved.. but few years helped her to forget and continue with her life even it's not how she wanted to be. She never used to live like normal people, she never had friends, everything she had was two brothers and an old man who cared about them too much. The brothers weren't her blood but they were her only family. They helped her when her dad passed away and she was grateful for that. But how time went by she fell in love with younger brother, she loved him and he loved her too. They loved each other may be too much and that's why everything fell apart.

Work is done for today. Some notes have been written and now she can go for a walk. Rainy days didn't make her grumpy because she likes rain, she always did. As a child, she was happy to see it. She and her dad always went out for a walk. Some things never change.

After a deep breath, she took a colorful umbrella from the umbrella stand and head out. Her clothes are black most of the time, not because she is sad, just because she likes it. And it fits well with her hair color. A long walk through the city streets. The smell of the wet streets and trees intoxicate her and she thought "I'm happy". She didn't believe she can be happy, it was like she was afraid to let herself to live.. but now she feels free... She left her past behind. Maybe it's time to move on, she changed her life from being a hunter to being just a random girl. It's time to meet new people and make new friends. It's time to heal old wounds.

The only place she likes the most is a cafe and pastry shop. It feels like home, warm atmosphere, and smile on waitress face. One guy works there which is very kind to her. She never said her name to him but he likes her. Likes the way she talks, the way she moves her hips and the way she smiles. She wasn't ice- cold as well. She felt something too but she wasn't ready to show it, she wasn't ready to be broken or hurt again. She loved, she still loves him. He didn't cheat on her, he didn't do anything to hurt her feelings. He just chose his brother. At least they are family and she's just a scared girl who needs someone to worry about her. At least she was.

Time flies when she's with that strange guy. The evening is near and time to go home. His shift just ended but she couldn't stay with him. She is still afraid of the dark and monsters that hide in the night. She fought them, she was fearless but now.. she doesn't want an innocent guy to get hurt because of her and her past. That is the main reason she doesn't have friends. She learned that everyone who gets close to her and brothers get killed. She left him and run away home. Her apartment wasn't near. Every move she makes she turns herself around but nobody's there. She always get the feeling someone is after her, someone is watching her, stalking her. Her hands start to shake and heartbeat rise. She had no weapon with her.
Her breath and pulse calmed down when she locked the door. It is quite in here as always.
Boiled water for camomile tea that helps to relax before lying on the couch in front of the TV.

That kind of love never diesWhere stories live. Discover now
