Chapter Two
Vera's POV
I put on a smile and waved goodbye to Wocky. Honestly, I wasn't too sure what to think of him. When I first heard him, I was close to going back home and never showing my face again. Then I saw him. He looked and sounded funny to me at first. The first thing I noticed was his accent. It was nothing like I've ever heard before, but… it's not like I've been out that much anyway; let alone to another state. When I looked at him, I saw his hair. It looked like a fox. Really. He looked like… one of those "cosplayers" Trucy told me about. A fox cosplayer. I thought it looked pretty accurate. Those lines on his face, his hair, and not to mention, that pink jacket with the foxes on it; it must be a Kitaki thing. As weird as it was, I thought it was really cute with that blue clown with the beard and sunglasses on his shirt. What did Mr. Wright call it… a… Bad Badger…? Huh. Well, whatever it was, it was really… crazy. But I wasn't thinking about that when I saw him…
I started to make some Chai Tea, and then sat down to read a book. Mr. Justice got me some books on the world. I was in the middle of reading about a place called "Africa". It was a beautiful book, but I couldn't read it at the moment. I couldn't stop thinking about what just happened.
Wocky, he said he was a "gangsta". I think he met "gangster", though. I heard about them from Trucy. She said that her father ran into a few of those gangster types during his time as a lawyer. They weren't exactly the nicest people… some have ties to this "mafia" group I keep hearing about. Mr. Justice advised me not to talk to them… I probably shouldn't. When he mentioned "Kitaki", those muggers ran for the hills! What if the Kitakis are… a dangerous family…!
But it doesn't make much sense! If he was a gangster, or a "G", whatever that is… why would he save me? Then he started talking about the Rivales and how they're going clean. Maybe the Kitakis aren't dangerous! Anymore, at least. Ever since Alita lied…
Alita Tiala… He was talking about her. His ex-fiancée. Apparently, she was really special to him. She was his damsel in distress, he was her sole protecter. Like a knight in shining armor. But, as it turns out, she wasn't really in need of protection.
Then he offered to hang out with me. I was really scared at the time. He seemed so nice and comforting, I- I felt so much better… and he offered so… I took it. I had to. But, I'm not so sure now… he wanted to protect me! But what if it ends up like Ms. Tiala? She-she was a murderer. A criminal! She didn't deserve him… but do I? I was the forger, Drew Misham, for many years. I sold on the black market. My works were sold… illegally… and I didn't even know it! I didn't deserve him, either! But, it's not like I'm his fiancée, anyways. Oh, this is a problem…
Speaking of forging…
Is that what those muggers were after? Me? To kidnap me, use me for my forging… and earn money. No… it, it can't be. Everyone thinks it was Drew Misham! Not me! Ugh… I'm just getting too nervous. It's not like anyone could figure it out.
As if my prayers were answered, the kettle let off a whistle. Calming Chai tea… that's what I need. This is all too much… I should just try to take a nap or something…
Wocky Kitaki… I hope I can trust you. But can you even trust me…?
…Eh. I'm not too confident on this… but I have a great idea for this story! A really good idea! And I just might continue this. Just might.
Review! And… O.G. Crackers for all of you! Yeeah! They're good! Wocky thinks so. (Even if they're actually muffins!)
