Chapter 2

I open my eyes from my hopefully short nap. I look at the clock to see it has only been 20 minutes.

"SERIOUSLY?"

I want to sleep more but I can't.

I sigh and get out of bed.

I grab a couple pieces of bread and pop them in the toaster.

I might as well eat something while I'm supposed to be napping.

I sit at the table and wait for the stupid toast.

I look around; it's pretty dark out right now. I look at the clock again.

That doesn't say PM.

WHAT! It's freaking 3 AM in the morning and I'm sitting here waiting for some freaking toast.

I shake my head. Yeah, that is just peachy.

POP!

The toast is finished. I grab it and take a bite, burning my tongue in the process.

Yeah I'm definitely not going back to sleep now.

I sigh again.

Taking another bite I grab my sketch.

I flip through the pages looking for a blank piece.

Coming up empty handed I sigh.

That sucks. I had an image in mind that I didn't want to forget.

I finish the toast and grab my shoes.

I've never seen the Amusement park at night time.

In all honesty I don't really like the dark. I have never liked the dark. It reminds me of things from my past that I would rather forget.

I step outside and I look around at the darker scenery. It's not that bad for now, at least.

The lights are still on but the screams aren't as loud as they are during the day.

I step away from my door and walk towards the main road. I've only been living in the Amusement park for a couple months but during that time I have come to love it here.

Walking aimlessly is basically all I'm doing now.

"Hey Red!"

I look over to see Boris walking my way.

"Hi Boris, whatcha' up to?"

"A whole bunch of nothing. Now you that you're a wake we can play. You don't normally play in the Amusement park. You should, do you still have your free ticket?"

"Yeah, it's somewhere in my house."

"You should go get it and use it for today. You don't have to go to work, do you?"

"Yeah, I do. My work is important to me and I would feel useless if I didn't do anything all day long."

I keep walking with Boris following behind me.

"You're not useless though, you do plenty of things for the Amusement park and Gowland definitely owes you one for those pies you baked for our festival."

I smile.

Being worth something is more than what you do. It's what you act like and why you choose to be the way you are. That is why I am the way I am. It was the way I was taught not to be.

"Hey Red, are you ok?"

"Huh, I'm fine why do you ask?"

"Your hands are shaking."

I look at my hands.

I guess they are, that's weird.

I look around. It's gotten even darker now. The stars aren't even shining any more.

"I-I have to go Boris." I say taking off.

"H-hey! Where are you going?"

I don't answer.

D-dark… why is it so dark?

Where do I go? I-I'm s-so s-scared.

I've never been in this predicament before.

"RED!"

I don't look back; if I do I know exactly what is going to happen.

I don't want that to happen. I don't need that to happen. I'm so afraid. Why? Why does he continue to haunt me? Why can't I be free? Why can't I be normal?

You know why Mistress.

NO! Leave me alone.

I have to find someplace to hide.

Thunder starts and rain follows. I find myself stuck. I can't go back, but I can't go forward. What do I do?

"Red?"

I press my back against a wall and I sink down.

I'm so afraid…..

(Red passed out in case you didn't know.)

Boris's P.O.V.

I run to Red's side. Why did she freak out like that?

She didn't even stop when I called for her. Water pours down from above and I look around.

Where are we? How far did Red run?

I pick her up; she'll catch a cold out here if I don't move her soon.

I run back to the place we started out in, we're not far from my house. I'll just take her there.

I take off in a flash. I don't want Red to wake up and freak out again.

I open the door and walk down the hall.

I set her on the couch while I look for something Red can wear.

"B-Boris?" I hear her whisper.

"Red, I'm in here."I shout through the door.

"O-oh… I'm sorry…. I didn't mean to bother you." She whispers to me.

"Here you can wear these. They'll be a little big but it's better than freezing to death."

I set the clothes down by her.

She doesn't move.

"I'm sorry…"

She slouches forward and I catch her before she falls.

Red… Uh-oh, she's soaked and she's asleep… Oh catnip.

Author's note: Well that makes chapter two. Don't get me wrong this is most definitely an Elliot x oc I just have to get there. Review please, thank you.
