I"M BACK! Or, so I hope. I know I said I would be updating more consistently but my brain's just being stupid. My life's better, but then I had this huge case of writer's block. It was horrible. I literally sat around for days trying to think of stuff. Then I thought, 'Maybe if I play the game I'll get inspired.' And it worked! So for your enjoyment, here's a new chapter of this story that apparently quite a few of you like!
I don't own Harvest Moon blah blah blah we know get on with it...
Chapter 6
Gale couldn't help but go by Molly's house after his discussion with Cray. Something deep in the back of his mind told him that he needed to check on her and make sure she was… safe. He didn't know why, but he never disobeyed his instincts.
When he got to her house, he moved quietly around to the window, looking in cautiously. Though it was dark, he was able to see her. She was heavily asleep on her couch, twisted in what looked to be an uncomfortable position. Yet her face looked perfectly peaceful.
A smile crept onto Gale's lips. She looked so innocent like that. Before he knew what he was doing, he was letting him inside the house, using his magic to unlock the door.
Her gentle breathing relaxed him, making him feel like this was perfectly normal. He stepped over and took her in his arms, surprised at how light she was. A small moan escaped her lips, but she stayed fast asleep. Gale gently laid her in her bad, tucking the covers around her to the best ability he could.
She was so peaceful. So fragile. Like a little doll. Always happy and beautiful, but so easily breakable. Gale found himself reaching to her, trying to brush some of her hair out of her face. Their skin met and what felt like an electric shock bolted up his arm, causing him to jump back in alarm.
What in the world was that? He'd never felt anything like that with anyone, mortal or not. And for something so strange, something so bizarre to occur with a mortal…? What was happening?
He quickly bolted out of the house, not wanting to stay for a moment longer. It didn't make any sense; and Gale had never liked things he couldn't understand.
He'd only gotten to the edge of the Clarinet District when something grabbed the hood of his cloak, making him catch his breath and then fall on his butt.
"What were you doing?" an irritated voice snapped.
Gale shuddered. He knew that voice far too well. He brushed himself and got up to look at who'd brought him to such a rude halt.
"What are... you doing... Vivi?" he sighed.
"Well, I was doing nothing, but then I thought I'd come to mess with the new girl, only to find you in there. Now what's that all about?"
Gale sighed. Why was everyone getting on his case about what he did with Molly? She was just a friend. Couldn't anyone understand that?
"I was... visiting her..." he explained, "I thought... she might be... in danger... and I... was right."
Vivi scoffed and flipped some of her gray hair behind her shoulder.
"As if I'm dangerous, Gale. You know I just like to have some fun every now and again."
"Giving people... curses... is not... fun."
"For me it is."
Why was she so difficult?
"Just... leave her... alone, Vivi... I mean it..."
Vivi raised her brows and folded her arms across her chest. That was never a good sign. It always meant she'd just thought of something mischieveous and was intent on carrying it out, no matter what the consequences.
"Why, Gale?" she asked in a taunting voice, "Do you love her?"
"Stop..." he hissed.
"Is she your sweet little Juliet? Do you write sappy poems for her?"
"Vivi, stop..."
"Is she the girl of your dreams? Is she Celeste reincarnated?"
Instantly, Vivi was flung across the field, hitting a tree so hard that there was a snapping sound, either from Vivi's back or the tree. Gale's hand was on fire (literally) and clenched in a fist, his eyes dark as he glared at Vivi. The witch just gasped as she tried to force air into her lungs. She'd forgotten just how strong Gale really was.
"You... do not... mention her," Gale said in an unusually dark voice, "Never."
He then turned around and headed back to his home, leaving Vivi staring after him.
So what did you think? Any good? When playing the game I saw the Witch Princess and remembered how much I don't like her. So I thought I should put her in here and help develop Gale some more (including his dark side O.o).
Also, on a completely random note, I'm going to the Sadie Hawkins dance at my school soon, so I'm probably going to be in a really fluffy gooey romantic mood for a little bit. 3 So if you're looking for action, it'll come... after the happy stage XD.
Now that I'm back, you guys should really review. It means so much you have no idea. I love coming home and seeing all the things you guys say about me and my stories. It makes me feel really appreciated :) So please review review REVIEW!
