It first started when she took a walk, trying to get familiar with the towns streets and paths.
Not even five minutes out and she heard the first explosion going on, far enough to not be seen, but near enough to feel the earth shaking. She was terrified, but the residents kept going on as if nothing happened at all, so she saw no other choice than shaking it off.
Suddenly, someone bumped into her, losing her sense of balance she fell on her behind with a thud.
It hurt, a little bit.
"Hahaha! I'm sorry, that wasn't on purpose, I didn't see you. Here, take my hand."
There was no need to say that the voice didn't sound sorry at all.
'At least he's trying, I guess.'
She looked up at the boy and felt her breath caught.
Blue, that was the first thing she noticed, but not the usual timid blue that resides the peoples souls, no, a vibrant shining blue that took over his complete soul like the crashing waves of the ocean, so free, so wild, so real, she felt the water drops on her skin, but at the same time it was like a warm, soothing rain and she felt all her worries and anxieties being washed away.
It was magnificent.
"Well, I guess you won't take my hand then. Sorry, but I'm kind of in a hurry! Bye!"
Broken out of her shock, she saw the boy, around her age probably, running to the direction she came from and she wondered if she would see him again.
She sure hoped so.
She didn't notice her hand unconsciously reaching for her face to wipe away the water drops, only to meet dry skin.
OOoooOO
