I waited for everyone to leave and was going to knock on the door, but she was already coming down the tree. But the door is right here...
I shook my head and silently followed her to the middle school. She tested a window after looking around and my mood darkened at the thought that she may be meeting someone. I shook it, she didn't actually like people, this worked in my favor, but how did she know about the window?
At first I was tracking her scent, then I was following her as a piano could be heard. My breath was stolen as I heard her start to sing. It was the same soft voice she spoke with, but this... I couldn't describe it as it filled the whole auditorium effortlessly.
She was completely unaware as my feet moved on their own. I wanted to be close to her, I wanted to touch her. I gave in, hoping she wouldn't feel when I touched her hair, but she did and as I covered her mouth she bit me yet again.

I looked around as I slowly opened the broken window to the middle school and slipped in. I closed it and made my way to the theater. I reminisced on the times I was here. I was invisible after the first week, which I liked. It made it easy to get in and out without any problems.
I got on the stage and sat at the grand piano, striking a few keys. With most of the town obssessing over the fair, it was little chance of being heard, let alone bothered. I began to play letting it flow naturally. Eventually, I started to sing along with my tunes, the sound filling the space.
I was so caught up in my own world, I shrieked when I felt my hair shift. A hand covered my mouth. "It's just me..."
I bit his hand hard and ran as soon as he let go. "Wait!" I sprinted to the broken window, but was tackled from behind and swung wildly. My arms were pinned to my sides. "Please... calm down."
I closed my eyes and took a breath, knowing fighting was useless, as I used too much energy earlier. Ezekiel sighed. "I'm sorry, I was just so... I didn't mean to startle you." I stayed motionless, waiting for him to let me go.
I tensed when I felt his breath on my neck as he inhaled and fought his hold again, but he held firm. "I won't bite you."
"Let me go."
I felt his heart racing. "Not yet... but when I do, don't run."
"Why?"
I could feel him struggling to maintain his composure. "It's nice... you being close like this."
I flared my nostrils. "Can't say I agree."
He sighed. "After everything, I imagine not. You have a beautiful voice."
I held my tongue between my teeth. "I said get off."
He slowly released me and I stood to leave. "Why are you fighting me so hard? I know you feel it too."
I didn't pay him any mind and vaulted through the window and breathed in the cool night air. I could hear the fair in full swing in the distance. Why is he even here?
I stuffed my hands in my pockets and started to walk home, but he caught my arm, making goosebumps sprout under my jacket. "Come to the fair with me." I arched a brow and shook my head. "Not this again..."
I looked at his hand and he let me go, so I could keep walking. When we turned a corner, I was mildly aware we were being followed. I took a seemingly random turn and he tensed as he felt them too. Judging the distance from my house I signed. "Run..."
He blinked at me. "Wha-"
I didn't give him time to finish as I grabbed his hand and sprinted. I pulled out my key and quickly unlocked the door and stepped in, closing and locking the door behind us. I put my head on the door, panting. "I take it back, I fucking hate the Season."
