Save Yourself. by Ella G (new reading .TXT) 📕

carefully, with grace, and she helped me down too. The snow fluttered slowly around us, lazy and careless. I saw a shadow dart across the forest, and Kat's eyes widened.  The shadow stopped in front of us, and it spoke in a hoarse, raspy whisper. "You shouldn't have met!" Kat stepped forward, and the shadow backed away a bit.

"And why is that, exactly?" She asked, her chin pointed a bit up, in a prideful way. 

 

"It wasn't meant to be, of course!" The shadow laughed in a hoarse whisper. "Who acres? Why don't you leave?" I managed to say, my voice wavering a bit. "Well, that isn't really going to happen, dear Alice."  My hands almost made me want to punch the freaking bastard, and Kat loosened my grip on her arm, and held my hand tight in her hand. "Go. Away. We don't care. I'll literally kill you if I could. And, I would, anyway. What're you going to die from? Light? Or humans?" Kat said bravely. The shadow hissed, it's purple slitted eyes narrowing, and it disappeared, leaving Kat angry, and myself comforting her.

 

"THAT LITTLE BASTARD! Why the hell did it leave?! Was it freaking scared? God!" Kat rambled on, walking fast ahead of me, and I caught up to her, and held her fist. "Let go," I told her. "Just open your fist, I fell like you're going to punch the shit out of a tree, saying if they had shit." She pursed her lips, and opened her fist, and we held hands until the weather became a bit too cold, and we put our hands in our pockets. I walked home with her, and she asked me if I wanted to come over. "Sure, why not?" I said.

THAT SHADOW OR GHOST, OR WHATEVER MADE ME ANGRY.

 

Alice calmed me down a bit, and she ended up coming home with me. We watched a few movies together, played Truth or Dare, had staring contests, watched YouTube videos of people failing and stuff, and well, it was fun. 

We exchanged different songs while playing cards, and she had really good ones. "Heard Green Day? Or Asking Alexandria?" I asked. "Mm...I only heard one Green Day song, and six Asking Alexandria's," she responded, pursing her lips. "You sawk," I told her in a phony, ghetto voice. She scoffed, and put down a spade. I put down a diamond, but we didn't care who won. We were only bored, so we put down random cards and shit, and saw who got the most sum, and stuff.

 

"Bored of cards yet?" I asked her. She nodded, and I put the cards back into the box. "Truth or Dare again?" She offered. "Yeah." I said. "Truth or Dare?" She asked. "Dare." I responded. "Uh..I dare you to get me a soda." She told me. I narrowed my eyes at her, and she laughed, while I got a soda. I playfully punched her arm, and we went on playing the stupid game. Until I asked her to express her feelings..about me. And let me say, it was fascinating and exciting. ;]

 

Alice stared at me, punched my arm playfully, and said, "O-kay. Um...I like you..a lot...uh..I think you're pretty hot...uh-" "I'm not that much of a lesbo." I laughed out loud, while she punched me again, scoffed, and started again. "Okay. Um, you have GREAT music taste. And beautiful hair. And a pretty nose.." We both started laughing at that one, and our stomachs pretty much hurt after. It finally felt like that ghost wasn't even there, anyway.
