Hello, again, I have no idea where this is going, thank you Riel, my first reviewer. Here is chapter two, and they will get longer, I know there are probably some grammar things but I haven't posted anything in a long while and I'm doing my best. I might add some romance to it later, ciao Tochic,
Days crept along, months, years, finally time got the best of everyone. Death was never an option to Edward. The concept of death was alien to him, suicide was as far away as the stars. The people, they simply went away. It is a very confusing thing, not understanding yourself. Most people get through those confusing years of finding yourself, but Edward had nobody to help him. It was like recieving a gift without the directions. Having legs without knowing to walk. Like never dying.
Though, like everything, nothing lasts forever. The silent clockwork would have to stop sometime. And that day came.
Almost 60 years had passed since the incident. It was getting late, well after sunset. The houses were dark. Sleeping souls went on unaware. Kim Boggs sat at home, nestled down in her favorite chair, a fire going. Positioned to face it, she stared distantly out of her window at the hill. She oftened wondered. Wondered if he was there. A sigh escaped her lips. It was almost Cristmas, but she didn't think she would get to see the snow this year. She imagined his face. Still so innocent and pure and young. She felt at her skin. Wrinkled and drawn out like ripples in water. The last few years had not been good to her. She bacame small and shriveled and tired.
Thinking about her own duaghter, and granduaghter. She closed her eyes. She hoped one day he would be alright. He would be found again. He would be safe and helped. Perhaps the stories she had told when the girl was small would drive her to go up there one day. It had been 10 years since Kim had told Maria the story. She started dreaming.
A girl, young and vibrant, dancing in the snow. A man, confused and loving, looking, everwatching. The coldness, the metal feel. She felt the strange feeling rush through her, pushing everything else out. With one breath, it escaped, and Kim Bogg's last breath sent chills.
Edward woke. For the first time in years it seemed he had fallen alseep, or had he? He had seen her, dancing. A sudden sadness came over him. He felt it was different. Words could not describe the feeling. But it seemed that all hope was lost. Every memeory he had hung on to, felt suddenly lost. Coldness came. A single tear crept down his scarred cheek, but it was frozen before it reached the ground.
And so he got to work.
