Chapter Six

Now

Squee jumped onto the computer. He had been chatting with this girl for months and was eager to meet her. They had been signed up by area; and it was hard knowing that walking down the street he could bump into her and not know it.

So, how was your day?

He typed quickly to meet with this reply;

Uneventful. And yours?

The girl on the end of the conversation giggled silently.

O, the usual. Next Thurs. ish meh bday!

Feliz compleanos! Feliz compleanos! ...

Hey, still speaking, Todd! ;) I think we should meet. What a fab. gift, eh?

Sure! How about at the City park?

Squee felt his heartbeat pounding. He'd been waiting to meet her!

How will we know who's who?

The girl on the receiving end was XxKillxJonnyxDeppxX, and she was clever and had a wry sense of humor no one Squee knew could match. He was infatuated with her, and yet they hadn't the faintest idea how they looked. He began typing on impulse.

Lets hold up signs!!!

Erm...blinks

Yah like at the airport! Ya'know, no one else will be doing it! Why not? C'mon, JD.

My real name is Eov. You should right that on the sign. There's a common-qaulity to the name JD, ya'know. :D

Alright. In that case, please, call me "Squee." Everyone else does.

Alright, "Squee". See you thurs. after work then! Gtg. My coven meets in twenty minutes.

Bye JD..Erm, I mean Eov! See ya thurs!

In a cold state of anxiety, Squee closed his laptop and lay on hsi bed. Fabulous! He really liked Eov, or "JD." She was fun, had a great personality, and adored him as he did she. Is it possible to be in love with someone you've never seen?

Squee, are you actually going to go through with this?

A familier voice gasped.

"Yah. I like Eov. A lot."

C'mon, Squee! She could be a phsyco, or a guy!

"C'mon Schmee. We're meeting at the park, not a dark alleyway."
Squees' parents had died years ago. It was actually a mystery. An alien took them when he was 10(Gee, I wonder who that is? -cough- IRKEN -cough-). Since then, he'd been talking to people online since he didn't fit in at school, to escape reality. He had started off as a bus boy, and now sold gloves for a living. He wrote alot and his favorite author was Augmentia. Augmentia dazzled him. Her horror/romance/vampire novels fascinated him, especially the poems that introduced eached story. He really liked "Rain", a story about a girl named Rosabella, or Roz, was in the orphanage until she was 19 and married Niz. They had a kid named Riza. Riza is killed by cancer and Nizz is murdered. She hears them and sees them, wich drives her insane. So she kills herself. It was a riveting tale of torture, and no one knew who Augmentia was. He'd memorized the poem for "Rain."

"Cold and dark, in a torrent of hate

She couldn't chase the rain away

Falling and striking her girl away

Claiming her lover, to.

She realized she had no one left

And took a dagger, long and sharp

Made a cut across herself

Lonley, broken in the dark

She made it rain,

then she was gone.

Rainings never ceased upon

Misted, gliding, slowly dying

Ending pain but birthing crying

Teary eyes and sprinkled blood

Are said to still be spilling from her cur

Lady Roz was gone but

Her spirit still lived on.

Raining, stilled

Before the dawn.

Rain."

Beautiful. She seemed to know Roz as if she was real. Augmentia had captured her wilting spirit perfectly.

Todd slept well that night, with dreams of rain and love and Eov.
