Dying is a side effect of life.

6 Days left.

" Stop eating ." She yelled and Rain stared at her dumbfounded.
" I don't even know if we'll have often food to last us until next year !" She said.

" Next year?" He said, with one with eyebrow raised. 'There is no way she thinks she'll live to see another year.'

"Yes."

' It's pathetic really how, she thinks she can survive all the way until next year. '

" Why do you have such high hopes ?" He asked as he took another piece of watermelon.

" Huh!"
" Why do you think you'll last until next year ? " Annabelle frowned at the question. ' Isn't normal to look forward to a tomorrow, a month or maybe even a year. '

" You're like a kid , whose been born into a huge world full of strange things ." She said as she stared at his golden eyes. It isn't normal for people to have golden eyes but who's she to judge it's not normal to have pink eyes, yet she has them.

"So what about it?"
Annabelle got up and walked around the table to where he was sitting.  She took her hands and waited for him to put his hands in hers." I'll tell you this, not everything has an answer. "

Instead of waiting she took his hand and pulled him out of his seat. Rain felt the heat and the intense pain that came from touching her. He quickly took his hand out of hers.

"Wow look, aren't those birds beautiful ." She said trying to change the subject. He turned around only to see a flock of birds flying towards the sky.

Rain snapped one of his fingers and one of the birds from the flock started flying towards them.

" Wow, I've never had a bird come this close," Annabelle said. Rain put his hand out and the bird landed in his hand.

" Hi there ." The bird said.

" It's a talking bird !" She pointed out." Wow, I haven't noticed ." He said as he rubbed the bird's cheek, which felt oddly comfy.

" I'm going crazy. " She started to rub her eyes.' I go away for two days and they make talking birds, technology is so not fair. '

" Why are they looking at me? Um.,
Bye." The bird said as it opened its wings ready to fly away.  Rain wasn't about to let the bird go, he was planning on doing something to the bird.

" Wait !" She said to the bird, " Here,  have some food." She said as she headed towards the table."How can I understand you?" The bird asked. Rain had nothing to worry about humans are pretty good at coming up with excuses for him. 

" I don't know either." She said as she got a little part of the watermelon and fed it to the bird. ' Oh, so I can't have food but the bird can? '

" Aww. She's eating the fruit isn't that adorable. "  The bird quickly spits the watermelon out.
" What is this bullshit !" the bird yelled. " Aww, she can curse !"  

" Bullshit is not a curse word and It's a He !" Rain corrected.

" Oh ." She then starts to pet the bird to avoid the awkwardness in the air.

" You know, I've heard bird meat is the best meat ." He said with a wicked grin.

" What ?" She watched as he reached for the knife on the table.
" Wait. What are you doing? " The bird and girl ask in union.

He pushed the bird down on the table and held the knife close to its neck.

" Don't kill it!" She yelled at him.

" Yeah, what the human said" The bird yelled back desperately.

" Why not? "
" Because I like him ."
" So if you like something, you let it live." 'He said with a smile.  After this, she'll surely understand.'

" Yeah ." She said out of desperation not really caring about the conversation Rain is trying to create." If you didn't like it, it would die." She quickly nodded, still desperate for him to let the bird go.

" Well, what if I were to tell you that I don't like you."

" Yeah. That's nice, wait.  What ?" Rain let the bird go and it quickly started flying away.

" Crazy big-headed people ." The bird yelled as it headed up trying to catch up with its family. He licked the knife with his tongue tasting the watermelon on it. " I don't like you and I'm really hungry ." He said and took a step closer to Annabelle.

" Don't play with me ." She said as she took a step closer to him and glared. Rain snapped one of his fingers and the bird flew back to him,  quickly before Annabelle could do anything he chopped its head off.

" What the heck !" She yelled as she watched the blood drop from its now headless neck.

" 🎵You'rrrre next 🎵." He said in a sing tone voice.
" What? " He noticed the fear in her eyes as she took a step away from him.

He shrugged" Well at least now you understand."
He put the knife down and held the bird up.

" How about we have bird meat tonight !" He said with a sly grin.
