A Late walk

WHEN I GO UP THROUGH THE MOWING FIELD,

THE HEADLESS AFTER MATH

SMOOTH LAID LIKE THATCH WITH THE HEAVY DEW

HALF CLOSED THE GARDEN PATH

AND WHEN I COME TO THE GARDEN GROUND,

THE WHIR OF SOBER BIRDS

UP FROM THE TANGLE OF WITHERED WEEDS

OS SADDER THAN ANY WORDS,

A TREE BESIDE THE WALL STANDS BARE

BUT A LEAF THAT LINGERED BROWN

DISTURBED I DOUBT NOT, BY MY THOUGHT

COMES SOFTLY RATTLING DOWN

I END NOT FAR FROM MY GOING FORTH

BY PICKING THE FADED BLUE

OF THE LAST REMAINING ASTER FLOWER

TO CARRY AGAIN TO YOU.

CHAPTER THREE A LATE WALK

(I'm home today with a sinus ear infection. It sucks. But more time to type this one out.)

Jessica sat on her bed for a while before deciding she wanted to take a walk. She walked to her closet. She got a black and blue tank top out of it. Along with that, she got a pair of black low rise flare hip huggers. She changed into that. She grabbed her leash for Sidney. Its been a few months since she first got him, so hes pretty big now. She leashed him up and walked out of her room. It's 9:24 pm, and its already dark outside. School starts tomorrow so she has to get home before 11 pm. Jessica was walking about a half of an hour before she realized she was being followed. Sidney didn't hear it or she wasn't paying attention. Jessica walked into a alley when she heard voices in front of her, but she didn't see anyone. She walked into someone. The person pushed her to the ground before turning a lighter up to Jessica. The only thing she could tell on the character was two triangles on his face, and a white scarf flowing behind him.

"Kai?"

"what are you doing here brat?"

"I was being followed and I fell into you."

"you know, wandering along unknown alleys is dangerous."

"ya, I have no choice though, trying to escape a stalker is hard work."

They heard someone walk up behind Jessica.

"oh looke what we have here, thanks for finding her Kai."

"I didn't find her, she found me, and you had better keep your hands off of her."

"or what?"

"Or you'll have to deal with me."

"oh Kai has a little girlfriend, that he wants to protect."

"for one, she is not my girlfriend, and for two, she is just a friend, so I think yes, I have a job to protect my friends." Kai said as he held a hand out to Jessica. But the person behind her had different thoughts. The character kicked Kai in the chest, knocking the air out of him. Before the others behind Kai could get up, both Jessica and Sidney pounced on the person. Sidney scratched the living crap out of him while Jessica beat him to a pulp. Kai had to pry her and Sidney off of him. The person staggered up and limped away. He called behind him as he walked.

"believe me Kai Hiwatari, you havent seen the last of me."

Kai held on to Jessica to make sure she didn't try to go after him.

"thanks Jess." was all he said to her. He and his friends walked off.

Jessica made it home in a fast run. She didn't want to be caught by the police, or anyone else at that matter. She arrived home at 11:34. She couldn't sleep so she took a shower and walked to her balcony facing the house next to her (Kais house) She sat on her hammock and looked at the stars above. She drifted off to a sleep. Unaware of a certain two toned blue haired boy watching her from his balcony...
