Fires Collided

¹⁸

My grandparents rushed to my side."I'm fine guys.It's not like it didn't happen before.I'm fine."My grandparents went after my dad and Alex helped me to my room.I was at the edge of bursting into tear.I told him to leave anfterwards Hector jumped on the bed."Hey.""What happened?"I chuckled."Nothing.I'm fine."He tried to set me on fire."Ok.That was rude.Don't do that again.Just because I let you out of the cage my grandparents put you in doesn't mean you can set me on fire."

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong or should I just try again?"I rolled my eyes."Go out and fly.Don't be late."I opened the window."Go Hector.Go get some fresh air.You've been stuck here the whole day."He flew away.Then I closed the window.While I was changing into my pyjamas I heard a noise from the window.It was a little bunny.A little black bunny.

I opened the window and got it on me."Hey there you sweet little thing."I closed the window and got on my bed and placed the bunny on my lap.I was rubbing it's belly."You know what's crazy?This past year I almost died several times.The only question is why didn't I?Potion thing was absolutely my fault.Then Pheonix almost killed me with ahuge audiance by the way.Then I heard Ralph and Pheonix talking and went into shock.My father taking the air out of my lungs is nothing new so I'm not counting that.This past year has been crazy.Then there is Mari and Ralph.Crooks is cool.He pushes my buttons.Just not the right ones so I don't dislike him."

I started rubbing the bunny's head."Mari keeps insulting me out of nowhere.I know she has a thing for Ralph.Everybody knows she does.But the only time he didn't bully me or tried to bully me is the Christmas holiday and tonight against his father.I know he doesn't want to kill me which makes me feel shit ton of better but...I-I don't know.Everything is so fucked up.Appearently my father is disgusted by me.He doesn't only hate me or think that I am a monster but now he is disgusted by me."I didn't even realize I was crying until my tears reached to my nose and disturbed my breathing.I put the bunny on my bed and subtly but quickly went to the bathroom.I washed my face and while I was staring at myself through the mirror bunny came.

Then two hands covering my face I started crying.Or else I was going to blew up the entire manor.Alex must've heard me I heard footsteps and pulled myself together."Hey.You ok?I heard crying."I chuckled."Dude I'm just washing my face.I'm gonna head to bed.What crying?"He sighed."I-I must've heard wrong."I smiled."Go back to your room.I'm fine."I messed up his hair and he left."Phew.That was close.Let's go."I grabbed the bunny and went back to my room.Then a letter came.I snatched it."Fucking hell Dexter how urgent was it?"I opened the letter and sat on my desk after placing the bunny on my desk."Dear blah,blah,blah...He's going to uk.Blah,blah,blah...He's going to write me everyday.Blah,blah,blah...hotel's adress if I need an escape.Very thoughtful.Blah,blah,blah...Burn the letter to get the transportation powder."I chuckled.

"I love him but he stretches his words a lot."Then I got a jar from my drawer and burned the letter.I wrote the adress on the jar."This might be useful."Then I placed the jar back to the drawer and went back to bed with the bunny.I kissed it's head."Good night cutie."I got up and opened the window for Hector and whistled."Hector come back you little motherfucker."He came flying back."You're the motherfucker."I chuckled."I wasn't the one who wanted to poop on someone's head."I placed him in his cage."I don't like that boy.He seems like an idiot."I smiled."Whether you like Ralph or not you can't poop on him because you don't like him.Hell you can't poop on anyone.Go sleep you idiot."I kissed his head."I love you,motherfucker.""Gee thanks Rose!"I laughed and closed the window before I went to bed.

After she fell asleep I turned back to my human form.I tucked the loose hair on her face behind her ear."I would never hurt you."Then she rolled over me."I would never let you get hurt either."I slowly left without waking her up.I placed a bouquet of red roses at the side I was lying down on and got out of the window.When I went back home my mom was waiting."Where were you Ralph?We've been waiting for you for hours."I rolled my eyes."Nowhere mom.I'm tired."I went tot he stairs and she grabbed my arm to stop me."Don't forget to pack your stuff.We're leaving tomorrow afternoon."I chuckled."Dad has never asked me to come with him before.He sent us both away but he never once insisted I would be there.Why now?I'm not going anywhere."

"You'll want to come Ralph.Believe me you will."My mother always had this poker face on her.This is the first time I'm seeing her worried."I-I'll pack."I went up to my room and started packing.

I woke up and the bunny was gone.Window was open.And there were...roses.Then I heard noises coming from downstairs.I saw my grandparents ordering their servants to put our suitcases to their carriage."Good morning.What is going on?"Alex came out of his room a few seconds later."People are sleeping here!"I rolled my eyes."Nothing.We are all just going to go for a little business trip for a few days.We were going to wake you up eventually.We're leaving after lunch.We already packed your stuff."Me and Alex exchanged a look."Yeah we're going back to sleep."Then Alex followed me to my room."Alex this is not your room.Get out."Then he threw himself onto the bed.I snatched the roses so fast before he fell on them.

"Leave me here to die.I want to sleep."I chuckled."I want to too."I jumped on his back and we fell asleep like that.Not for long though.We both eventually woke up with Hector screaming!"Get up you two idiots.""Hecter get the fuck off of us and leave us alone."But he started jumping on us."Fine we're waking up."I woke Alex up.But he decided to lie down a little longer.In the meantime I searched for a note on the roses.When I found none I changed.

"Where is the rest of your skirt Rose?"

"Fuck you Alex.Let's get downstairs and hove something to eat before we leave."
