AN: This is another one of my drabble word promts. (I am finally going back to that) My word is Secrets. The list is by dancingwithrainbows. I got the list from her. I know it's a little longer than a usual drabble but oh well. Disclaimer: I do not own TID. No profit is being made.
Fear. This was the first thing Will noticed about the newcomer. His dark eyes were wide with fear as Charlotte led him into the Institute. She was talking to him softly, telling him it would be alright.
Blood. That was the second thing Will noticed. The boy was covered in blood. Will took a step back, feeling afraid himself. By the looks of it, he didn't seem too hurt. It must not have been all his.
"Did you kills someone?" The question left young Will's mouth before he could even think about it.
Charlotte turned away from the bloody boy and shot a dangerous glare at Will. "Will, stop that! That's no question to ask someone who has been through what he has!"
"Then what's the matter with you?" Will asked the boy, taking Charlotte's response to his first question as a no.
For the first time, the boy looked at Will. His dark eyes landing on him. Then, to Will's surprise, the boy smiled. "I can't tell you," the boy explained. "It's a secret."
I don't know why I wrote this, to be honest. A lot of people probably won't like it, but I don't care. I felt like I had to write this. I will sometime make a longer, different version of how they first met. And I will finish my TID story "The Mother They've Always Wanted".
