--Ch.3
Finally morning came and awoken its earths atmosphere. Claudia was running with her grip in Edward's hand. She panted as she tightened Edward's metal grip. She finally stopped waiting to cross the street. When the traffic lights turned red, she made a run for it and continued to run.
"Slow down! Your gonna' fall!" exclaimed Edward, as she ignored him and screeched to a halt in front of a Flower shop and entered it breathlessly. The manager faced her and shook her head.
Claudia managed to get her breath and talked in one breath. "I'msosorrymanager.I'lltrytobemorepunctualnexttime!" Then, she started to pant again.
"For god sake, Claude! Take deep breathes and slow down!" Yelled her manager, Alice. Claude took a seat as Edward took a step next to her. Alice eyed Edward whose eyes met with Alice. She winked and gave a smirk at him as he blushed and quickly looked away.
"So," Alice started walking next to Claudia. "Who's your friend?" Claudia looked up at her as Alice's smirk couldn't disappear from her face.
"On no." mumbled Claudia. 'Her liking is about high to her level.' Claudia smirked a guilty smirk. "Alice this is Edward. Edward this is my manager, Alice. She runs the shop." Edward gave a slight nod to Alice as she nodded as well.
"Well, I'll see you later, Claude." With that, Alice had left threw two doors in the back. Claudia gasped air and stood up.
"I'm so relieved," she said. She grabbed an apron, and placed it on, tying a knot on the back. She faced Edward and whispered lightly, "Don't fall for that woman's eyes. I could already see she has taking a liking to you."
Edward nodded. "I know. I could tell easily by her eyes. It's says it all." Then, the door had opened as a lady with brown long hair, and a girl with blonde short hair. Claudia quickly ran to the cash register and placed a smile on her face.
"Welcome!" she greeted. The mother and the girl smiled at her and walked around the shop. Edward walked around as well, ignoring the customers. He saw a group of blue and purple orchids.
"Excuse me young man," said a voice behind him. He turned to see the lady wanting to see the orchid as well.
"Oh sorry about that. Go right ahead," he apologized taking a step to the side. The small blonde girl stared at him with a slight blush. Edward gave a small smile as the mother took her hand and headed to the cash register.
The sound of a ding was heard from the cash register and the sound of money as well. "Come again!" said Claudia.
Before the customers left, the small girl stepped in front of Edward and handed him an orchid. His mouth opened slightly as he blushed.
"Here you go!" exclaimed the small girl. Ed took the flower and smiled kindly at the little girl.
"Thank you!" The little girl headed toward her mother and waved a good-bye to Ed and left the shop. Edward's face felt love-struck for some reason. The smile on his face couldn't go away.
"Looks like someone's lovesick." Ed turned around as Claudia had a smile on her face. She placed her hand to her mouth and chuckled lightly. "It was really nice of her though. I wish I was her," said Claudia.

Near some woods were some old and dead pine trees. Each one of them had a hole threw them, which represented gun shells. Then, there was a dark shed and inside of it, sat a man with dark brown hair, and cold dark blue eyes. In his hands was his prize possession. This was a rifle. He was cleaning it with a rag and made sure he got every detail of the pistol.
Another person leaned on a wall with a small smirk across his face shaking his head. It seemed that the dark person, John, had seen his wife-to-be found a person and was taking care of the person. The face expression you could tell from him was that he was getting ticked off by the second when she thinks of that person and wife-to-be.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! So your just going to laze around and let that short stuff take your girl?" asked another cold guy, named Rota.
"Shut it!" barked John as Rota just continues to smirk. "Besides, I'm going to use the short stuff as bait. That's the last hope Chrissies ever going to need," he declared placing his rifle beside him.
Rota raised an eyebrow. "And how are you going to do that?" A silence took the moment and then John gave a mischievous smirk rubbing his big hands to together.
"Just wait and see," chuckled John an evil glint appearing in his eyes.
