A/n: again sorry bout the long wait. I hate homework.
Chapter 4
The last of the evening customers were just clearing out when I had more than a few minutes to look at the girl sitting on the bench across the path. I packed up, putting all my un-sold hot dogs, wrapped up, in to a plastic shopping bag. I pushed my cart behind the bench and sat down next to her. Katja, that's what she had said right? Yeah.
"Hi," oh great opening really.
"Hmm." What she doesn't even look up from the book. Oh this conversation will be riveting.
"What are you reading?" That's original.
"I'm not interested sir!" her head snapped up, her teeth, *fangs? * Bared in a snarl. A split second later it was replace with a small 'O' " A- eh- I'm sorry, I didn't realize. you must think I'm really a monster now. I mean with. and I didn't think. I mean I did think but I thought wrong. I didn't recognize your voice. I though you were. were one of those men that come around the park this time of night"
I looked around and saw that darkness was falling. It hit me very suddenly exactly who r rather what she thought I was. I was taken aback; she was a kid not much younger than me. Had she given an age? I didn't think so but she fifteen. How could men even consider her as.as that?! I wasn't quite sure what to say after that. After all I had only known this girl a couple hours but I already felt the need to protect her.
"Oh umm," when will I learn to have some thing to say before I open my mouth?
"The Stand ((A/N: don't know if facfic will show it but the stand is italicized because it is a book.)) by Stephen King. Ever read it?" Thank god for small favors at least she had broken the silence her self. She held up a massive book, it was well read and the cover was missing but the title page was still there and there was a rubber band around her wrist that it looked like she had been using to keep it together. ((Hint, hint to not telling if she ever gets around to reading this))
"Nah, not one for reading much, but hey." I let the silence hang hoping she would take the hint and pick up the conversation again.
"Yeah, I had a friend like that once. She only ever read magazines and newspapers. I think one time she even hired me to read her history book in to a tape recorder so she wouldn't have to bother with the paper. She blushed her cheeks complimenting her eyes now purple. Anyway..
"What's wrong?"
"I was rambling. I always ramble when I get nervous. Not that you make me nervous, I mean you do make- but it isn't. Ever since THIS I've been nervous around people. Ok? See? Rambling."
"It's ok. Dinner?"
"Huh?"
I held up the bag of left over dogs.
"Thanks."
No prob, usually I just wind up giving them to stray dogs around the park but this time I thought you might like one." She nodded and reached into the bag. "Plus, you owe me an explanation."
"What?" she almost threw the hot dog down. She was.was.scared?
"You said you would tell me about your accent.s or lack there of." I added noticing her neutral voice again.
"Oh." God did I scare her that much? Her voice was actually quivering. I decided right then that I would not mess around with this girl until I knew her full story.
"so." I prompted.
"Not much explanation needed is there?"
"Uh-huh, I've never met some one with no accent, let alone some one who can switch with out a thought."
"Well now you have." What the f- now it is a Yankee?
"No, no, you don't get away. You promised."
"Did I?" German?!
"Yes you did you said 'when I get back.' Or something like that."
"Did I ever say what would happen when I got back?" Asian?!
"Well no but-"
"But nothing. I tell you nothing." Italian?
"Look you little urh I have to know, this is really getting to me."
"Little what sugar?" southern?
"This is too much either tell me or stick to one."
" I learn quickly." And that explains what?
"And that explains what?" oh smooth I should kick myself in the face. Is that even possible? Probably but not without being noticed- wait, what? - Focus!
A/N: ah ha you will just have to wait for her explanation. **Evil laugh** I had to end it here I was starting to spoil you sorry some fan, you are my favorite because you keep reviewing (
