Episode 8:Like a Thread on the Canine
''スイッチをつける!(Switch, on!)''
As the T-Rex glowed with absolute every student looked at the glowing dinosaur in awe. Many of the students were either talking about the plans, who to invite and many more ideas.
''ねえ、あなたは女の子を稲妻に招待しましたか?(Hey, have you invited a girl to the lightning ceremony?)'' The brown mongoose asked the red panda, but the peacock looked at Legosi in worried. ''彼はジュノか何かと戦いましたか?(Did he have a fight with Juno or something?)''
''ん?(Hm?)'' The tapir looked at the tall grey wolf.''彼は読みやすいです。(He's easy to read.)'' The tapir commented, which Legosi didn't bother to react to the comment.
''皆さん、聞いてください。その日の仕事は終わり、学校に戻ります。(Everyone, Listen up. We're done with work for the day, we're going back to school.)'' While everyone was discussing, minus Legosi who still sat on the floor. Elz noticed that an arctic wolf is missing.
''ねえ、葉はどこ?(Hey, where's Leaf?)'' That alone was enough o put the discussion on hold. Dom looked at the crown, and she was right. The arctic wolf was nowhere to be seen.
''ええ...彼はどこですか?(Yeah...where is he?)'' The red panda asked as he too examined the crowd. It was unbeknownst to them that Leaf walked away, while they were turning on the dinosaur. It was not Leaf was impressed, he would rather just travel around the city. At times, he was a loner despite having constant attention from others.
But at times those would get him into trouble, sticking his nose where it shouldn't be...
After slipping away from the group, he walked. His destination was nowhere really, he just wanted a break before going back. This what he always does back home walk alone without company. He's been in the city for a few errands with the others mainly he was stuck with Bill, and that made him really uncomfortable.
But now that the festival was nearly done, he could relax for the time being. Even if he did get lost his language skill has improved to the point which he can ask direction, or use his phone to look at the map.
The sun was setting, A few cars passing by the road, and there were fewer people...This made him uneasy...Normal the city was filled with people going by there normal days, but this...It was pure silent...
Did he walked the wrong direction? was he lost? Did he walk to the wrong part of town? He doesn't know and this silence was freaking him out. He turned to walk back to the festival area but was stopped when he noticed a light.
He curiously grew, he wondered what was going on...Walking up the long stairs with each step he took he was getting more scared. He wanted to turn back, but he was just too curious.
Upon reaching the floor, he laid his eyes on a goat, who was hiding his hand for some reason. He figured he was homeless or something, Leaf felt bad for those people who don't have a home to live. The lupine shook his head as he looked at the red light as he took a few steps to the light.
He heard the sound of mumbling...
''Huh?''Leaf looked around, but no one was there. It was just like an abandoned alley. The young carnivore scratched the back of his head in confusion, but he heard the mumbling sound again. This time the lupine turned his head to the goat.
It appeared that the mumbling sound was coming from this male goat.
Leaf stared at him in confusion maybe he has some sort of sickness? He approached the goat as he knelt down. He cleared his throat as he spoke.''ねえ...あなたは...(Hey...Are you...)'' Leaf didn't know the Japanese word of good, so he used his most common word''大丈夫(Alright?)''
The goat just sat there with no reaction, Leaf had to try again. But before the arctic wolf could even speak the goat finally spoke.''なぜいいの。(Why...yes.)'' As the goat lifted his hand hands up showing his fingers, Leaf gasped as he stumbled hitting the ground with a thud.
The goat had missing fingers! and the fact he had 6! 6 missing fingers! The arctic wolf shook his head, he also noticed how much each finger costs with the minger one casting more than the smaller one. Also, he noticed...that the ring and middle finger were recently taken off, or bitten off...That smell...
''好きな指を選んでください。(Just pick whichever finger you like.)'' Leaf could smell the blood, and the saliva of the carnivores. Those smells were very strong.''ただ残っているかもしれませんが、味はすべて同じです。(It may just be leftovers, but the taste is all the same.)'' Was this goat trying to persuade him to eat his own fingers? He may have not understood some of the words, but the eyes...as if they were pleading.''あなたの歯の長さは2.7 cmです。彼らはとても若くて健康な人からいくらかのペニーを手に入れるでしょう。(I see your teeth are 2.7 cm long. They would fetch some penny from someone so young and healthy.)'' The goat wanted to put his fingers inside his mouth.
Leaf couldn't take it anymore, he doesn't want to bite off some homeless person's finger. He quickly pulled his mouth back and stood before the goat could speak as he ran at the light.
The arctic wolf's eyes went wide...there were many red...meat...He felt he wanted to puke on he sight this was so much meat unlike before. He held his stomach, he needed to keep his demand away from coming out and break a mess. There were many carnivores shopping for meat or simply just examining it. He too was a carnivore, but after what happened, he couldn't look at the meat as delicious food.
He needed to get away, he shook his head as he turned around and he noticed that a truck was blocking the exit. He looked back, he just hooped he could find a way out of this meat market. He kept his face down, nose blocked and his mouth opens for air as he walked.
He needed to keep his head down to avoid looking at the piece of meats. He was really trying as he was walking through the crowd of adult carnivores, he noticed that a crocodile just ate a piece of meat.
His eyes shot open, he noticed that some of his salivae were coming out. Even with his nose blocked, he swore he could smell the juicy fat even though his nose was damaged due to the incident that is why his nose can't smell things that are strange, but now?
God, he was drooling.
He tried to stop his drooling, he saw many people were enjoying the piece of meat they were eating. He wanted to eat that meat too, he so badly wanted to. He shook, he needed to run away now! before he goes berserk from the constant smell of meat...
and with that, he took off without hesitation avoiding other carnivores that were enjoying the piece of meat.
As he ran through the crowd of carnivores, he doesn't know where, but anywhere because if he stayed here any longer, he wouldn't be himself. He noticed that there was another exit, he took that exit.
When he ran out of the market, he bumped into someone. He hit the ground with a thud, he rubbed his sore backside as he looked at the tall figure, who was holding what seems to be a sharp long stick.''まあ、まあここに何がありますか?(Well, well what do we have here?)'' The voice was deep before Leaf could do anything, he was knocked out.
*Clang* *Clang* *Clang*
Leaf slowly opened his eyes, he noticed that he was tied and his mouth was muzzled. He looked around the room, and this place was unfamiliar. What was happening? Where was he? He groaned his head was aching...
The big panda turned around.''元気?良くない、私は賭けます。(How are ya? Not good, I bet.)'' And Leaf instinct was too immediately back away. But his back hit the pole behind him.''高校も。自分をトラブルに巻き込むことは間違いない。(A high schooler too. Getting yourself into trouble I bet.)'' The panda grabbed him by the collar and checked the pulse, Leaf desperately tried to avoid eye contact.''少し落ち着いていますあなたは勇敢な人です。(A little calm, I see. You're a brave one.)''
Leaf just stared at the panda, after the check-up was done. The muzzle was removed from his snout instead of speaking, he just stayed silent. He didn't show any sign of fear, but he was shaking in the inside. He doesn't know what was in store for him. He could possibly die here...But was it truly the case? He just stared at the panda with the panda doing the same both locking eye contact...waiting for the other to speak.
It was silent. It was driving him nuts, but what was he supposed to do? Based on the look alone, he knew that this panda was scary and probably fit since he knew most guys are fit. Leaf had to choose his words of choice carefully...''W-what do you want...?''He asked silently. He wanted to face-palm and he would have done so if his hands weren't tied to a pole.
''God...I sounded like an idiot! He might not even know English! The hell!''Leaf thought, his original plan was to sound brave and strong. But he sounded weak and puny.
''An English-speaker huh? ya don't see that every day.''The panda commented as he retreated to what seemed an old wooden chair. Sitting on the wooden chair, he grabbed a sort switch button to an old-style camera. As he sat there staring at the arctic wolf.''What is your name?''
Leaf had to cooperate with the stranger, staying silence was not an option.''Leaf...''He replied, but was flashed with the camera that made the arctic wolf jump. As a picture came out of the camera, he asked another question.
''Have you eaten a herbivore?''What was this guy? a Psychologist? A therapist? he would find out sooner or later. So the arctic wolf spoke.
''I guess...''He replied in a low yet gloomy tone, his ears were also rested back that event made him tear a friend apart, but not fully. The stranger took another picture, but Leaf didn't move to jumped through shock.
''So, you did eat one.''The stranger said, but Leaf immediately interrupted before the stranger could continue.
''I didn't say I consumed one, I just...ripped off her arms...''Leaf replied with guilt in his voice and that was the weakness.
''"Her" You are her friend as well.''There was a small silence.''How does it make you feel that you ate her?''Leaf frowned this guy was getting on his nerves.
''I never said I ate her.''Leaf said firmly.
''But the tone of your voice says otherwise. Did you enjoy her flesh?''That was when Leaf looked angry but didn't snarl.''How did it feel getting her blood on your teeth?''
''I NEVER SAID I ATE HER DAMMIT! I WAS FORCED TO DO IT!''Leaf screamed as he wanted to lunge at the panda, but soon he calmed down as he got back on his knees.''I was forced to do it...I tried to resist her...''
''But you did it anyway.''The panda said. Leaf sighed as he began to speak again.
''Not on purpose...I was controlled by the flesh just like everyone carnivores that came in contact with blood. I just snapped when a severed arm was shoved to my nose that caused half of my smell...I never really meant to do it, I was just consumed by it, she still lives and is probably scared of me...I never really said sorry to her, but I wish I could.''Leaf finished.
''I see.''
Leaf stared at the panda and asked.''あなたは誰?(W-who are you?)''Leaf asked as the stranger picked up a photo from the ground as the curtain opened, Leaf examined every picture but also noticed the picture of Legosi.''Legosi...''
''I am the dark markets therapist.''The stranger answered, Leaf looked dumbfounded, he doesn't look like a doctor.''Yes, I am a doctor.''Then switched to Japanese.''私を友人または敵と見なすなら、それはあなたの選択ですが、私の質問は、そもそもなぜ闇市場にいるのですか?(It is your choice, if you view me as a friend or an enemy, but my question is why are you in the dark market in the first place?)'' The doctor asked as he stuck the picture on the wall before turning to the teenager. Leaf looked away as he slowly nodded.
...
Leaf didn't know what happened to get into this situation. He now sat on a chair facing the panda, Leaf now knew he was a regular house with the basement, he dubbed "The Torture Chamber." He sighed as he waited for the doctor to say something.
As the panda took the cigarette from his mount and blew out smoke, he asked.''So, what a kid such as yourself was doing in the black market?''The therapist asked.
''I just stumbled across it...I just wanted to see what the light was...I didn't mean to cause anyone trouble.''The arctic wolf said in a guilt tone.
''I see. The black market is a place, where people can't forget the taste of meat, so it isn't illegal. But a kid such as you shouldn't be going in there yet.''Leaf frowned.
''I'm not a kid...I'm 17 just, so you know. I am capable of making such a decision.''The teen said firmly.
''I don't think you are, boy.''Leaf just stared at the stranger.
''So...why decide to be a doctor? in a place like this...?''The arctic wolf asked the panda crossed his arms.''Is a doctor seriously needed in the black market?''
''It is kid. This place needs help, even though I was nearly killed multiple times, I still stayed, but could save a handful.''The doctor explained, he knew how physically buff this panda based on looks alone, but is he really that strong?''Even though I'm a kinda-strong doctor.''Leaf eyed the doctor in curiosity.
''So you don't live off meat, or do you? from what I've studied panda's can survive with plants and vegetation alone.''Leaf explained. The panda gave off a laugh, but the lupine just raised his brow in confusion.
''Now that's when you can tell that person is a hard-working student. Yes, I've only lived with bamboo's, I abandoned the beast inside of me a long time ago.''The therapist explained Leaf nodded as he asked another question.
''I understand, so you just talk with them?''The wolf asked.
''I try too.''Leaf looked confused but didn't want to question it.
''So, I am also your patient?''Leaf asked, while eyeing the panda.
''Yes, you are.''
''If you're talking about the past, I rather not speak about that again. I already went through a therapist or a psychologist whatever the right one us, I rather not go through another one. Even though If I am your patient...I still appreciate it...''Leaf replied in a low tone.
''Did you talk to her?''The panda asked, the young carnivore shook his head.
''How could I talk to her after what I've done to her! I've desperately avoided any contact with her because I know she is scared of me! Me! A friend that she could really on! A friend that she could talk to! Don't go butting your bu-''
''Shut up! You brat!''The panda grabbed his collar.''I know you want to get back with her, It is you your intellect saying it. It was best to drop off all contact with her before you devour her and just give her up.''As the doctor let the wolf go, Leaf sat down as he quietly spoke.
''That is what I have been doing...The whole time...'' Leaf quietly said.''I've been afraid of eating her...That's why I've been avoiding her as much as possible and to seal the beast inside of me...but I can't control it...Can I ask one thing? Did a student also come here? A second-year, A tall grey wolf?''
''Yes, what about him?''The doctor asked while crossing his arms obviously intrigued.
''Did you talk to him about his love interest? Was it a rabbit?''The teen asked narrowing his eyes at the panda.
''Yes, it was. Wait, how do you know that?''The panda asked giving Leaf a suspicious look.
''In case if you haven't noticed, I go to the same school as him, hence the uniform.''The lupine said pointing at his blue polo.''Look whatever you were saying to him, I'd appreciate it if you don't upset him.''
The panda took the cigarette from his mouth.''I'm just trying to keep him away from devouring a white drawf.''Leaf looked at the panda and frowned.
''You don't know him, I know he won't stop seeing her because I know the looks on his eyes. He wants her, and stopping him would be a bad idea or even getting close to her would trigger him...''Leaf explained as he remembered that look that Legosi was giving him earlier.
''What do you mean?''He asked.
''When I was with her, I noticed that he was giving me a look of anger.''Leaf explained shivering at the thought, he was scary when angry!
''I believe the beast inside of him wants her badly.''The panda explained, but the arctic wolf just looked confused.''Remember what I said? He's slowly getting the beast outside of him...''
''So, I just avoid her? but she's my friend!''Leaf argued, but the panda sighed and shook his head.
''Kid...You need to let go of her too.'
''But-''but couldn't say anything. He just stayed silence unable to express how he feels about the situation.''I mean, I guess...''He glanced at the clock, it was very late at night.''I think I need to go...before my class starts to worry...''He got up and walked to the front door, but paused...He doesn't know how to get to the trans station.''くだらない...(Crap...)''
''どうやって行くかわかりますか?(Do you know how to get there?)'' The arctic wolf slowly shook his head.''さて、あなたは運の子供を乗り切っている、列車はこの時点で閉鎖されています。夜はここでクラッシュできます。早朝に電車に連れて行きます。(Well you're outta luck kid, the train is closed at this time. You can crash here for the night and I'll take you to the train early morning.)'' Leaf blinked as the panda stood up.''ついてきて、ゴーヒンと呼んで.(Follow me, and call me Gouhin)''The arctic wolf just stared at him and quickly caught up, he was surprised bu how nice Gouhin was being.
''ありがとう...(Thanks...)'' The arctic wolf replied unsure.
As the doctor lead him into another room, Leaf was left alone in the darkroom staring at the window. He couldn't sleep...He sat up and stared at the dark market. He looked at the clock. 2 am, he sighed. So much happened in just a few hours, but now he was asking himself now. Was it worth it?
''Leaf...You aren't home anymore! You can't just wander off anywhere just as I did back home. This is a foreign country, this is not home. I shouldn't be going alone...I'm pretty sure that the rest are worried for me. I went missing out of nowhere...''The arctic wolf said to himself, Leaf laid down as he stared at the ceiling.''It's about time, I change myself. No more going alone...''The arctic wolf whispered to himself as Leaf slowly closed his eyes.
It was 7 am the next morning. Both carnivores exited the building, but the arctic wolf has a strange mask on his muzzle. He wanted to complain to the panda, but Gouhin beat him to it.''あなたが何かを言う前に、私はあなたがあなたのよだれを制御できるようにそのフェイスマスクを着用させました。(Before you say something, I made you wear that face mask so you can control your drooling.)'' The psychologist explained, Leaf nodded but deep inside, he didn't understand a single word he said except for a few. Gouhin, then switched back to English.''Keep your head down, and don't look at the meat.''The panda explained.
As the two of them walked through the black market, Leaf kept his head down. But he can't help it, he had to look up and the meat that the carnivore was munching on. It was delicious for him, but thanks to the face mask, he couldn't smell too much of the meat and he was thankful for it.''Head down!''Gouhin forced the wolf's head down. Leaf whined, but the panda grunted.''Don't give me that face, kid.''
The arctic wolf frowned as he obeyed and kept his head down as told. Along the way, Leaf was prepared to get scolded by the school faculty members, his friends and quite possibly Legosi or Haru. He disappeared for a day without telling anyone, but that habit would change.
The exit wasn't far, they have to go up the stairs, but the young carnivore noticed that the goat was no longer there.''Hey, where did the goat go?''Leaf asked confused.
''Hmm?''The doctor turned to the student and looked at the place where the young carnivore was looking.''Ah, he probably left now stop standing and c'mon kid we need to go before your late for your train.''The muscular panda walked up the stairs with an arctic wolf behind him.
Upon reaching the top, Leaf just followed the doctor to wherever he is going which is probably the train station. The silence was unsettling and some of the other mammals were looking at the duo strangely, he understood why.
As he ignored the stares, he just hoped te silence won't last long because the silence was freaking him out.''I need to ask ya.''The arctic wolf looked at the panda as they continued walking to the train station.''I don't know if your stupid or reckless, but why were you walking alone in the city if you don't know where the train station is?''But then he muttered something in Japanese which Leaf was clueless about.
The arctic wolf answered.''Well, it's something I am accustomed to...''Leaf explained, but the panda didn't answer. The young carnivore frowned as he continued to speak.''I do this back home a lot because my dad never really bothered helping me, so at times I would just go around the city alone and memorize the places and at times, I would just walk away without telling, I've been very used to that I forgot that this isn't home anymore.''Leaf finished.
''So, you like getting lost?''
The snow wolf frowned was he humoring him?''No, I just prefer to go at it alone.''
''Your parents never help you?''The silence was enough to answer Gouhin's question.''私の子供からそれを取ります。時にはそれだけで行っても、長期的には何の役にも立たないでしょう。信頼できる人が必要です。 (Take it from me kid. At times going at it alone isn't going to do you any good in the long run. You should have someone you could trust.)
''わかります...(I understand...)'' But he got his tongue twisted as he spoke in English.''I should never go alone, I have friends to help me.''This was something that was true. He many friends that are far apart, but has received new friends here. He knew he could trust them, every single of them. That was the thing, he has to keep telling himself, he isn't alone to do things. His in the new world, not like last time. It is time he let go of his old self and build a new one.
The silence was back again, he hoped this trip would end soon but thank god.''ねえ!ウルフ!(Hey! wolf!)'' Leaf turned to the voice and found some familiar faces. The arctic wolf sighed in relief as the female cheetah stopped right in front of the wolf.''あなたはどこにいた?誰もがあなたを探していました!先生はあなたの両親に連絡しました!みんな心配していた!(Where were you? Everyone was looking for you! The teacher contacted your parents! You had everyone worried!)'' The young carnivore flinched, why did it felt like he was getting scolded?''気にしないで。よろしくお願いします。(Never Mind that. I'm glad your okay, we should head back...)'' The cheetah noticed that Gouhin was watching with crossed arms.''これは誰ですか? (Who's this?)''
''私は医者です。あなたの友人が路地に出て行きました。彼をあなたの学校に連れて行くつもりでしたが、あなたはすべてをコントロールしているようです。(I'm a doctor, I found your friend past out on the alley, I planned to take him to your school, but it seems you have everything under control.)'' The panda replied, Leaf glared at the panda.
The cheetah gasped as she bowed.''私は彼が引き起こしたトラブルについて非常に残念です!(I'm so very sorry about the trouble he caused!)'' The cheetah apologized, but the doctor waved her off.
''それは大丈夫です、彼は何の問題も引き起こしていません。(It's alright just make sure, he doesn't cause any trouble.)''As he pulled out a lighter and used the fire to light his cigar.''今、彼がさらにトラブルを引き起こす前にスクラム。(Now, scram before he causes even more trouble.)'' She bowed again and thanked him once more before pulling the arctic wolf to the meteor festival location.
Leaf didn't bother to complain about this since he knew it would fruitless to persist the higher year to let go of his arm. So he just played along. Upon arriving at the center, he was met with many relieved, shook, happy faces.
''そこにいた!(There you are!)
''とても心配でした!(We were so worried!)
''あなたはどこにいた!?(Were were you?!)
''私たちはあなたを探しています!(We've been looking for you!)
Many shouts of concern were being thrown at him, which he was grateful. But they were also scolding him for disappearing like that, which he completely understood. He didn't blame them, they were the members of the drama club and he was pretty well known. So he just hung his head as he spotted an adult approaching the wolf which made him shake. He was gonna get suspended for disappearing like that...
After getting lectures from almost every teacher because of his stunt, but at least he didn't get suspended which was a yes, but he got a warning. Leaf planned to never do this again, he learned his lesson. It was already night time, and it was a pretty sight alright...
He was standing for quite some time, he felt like he needed to sit or stretch his leg one of the two. He walked toward the members of the art members and noticed Legosi. He stopped for a moment remembering what the panda told him, he was unsure if he wanted to intervene with the relationship or just stay away because he thought about the word that the therapist said, what if it were true? then how would he deal with that situation?
He shook head not wanting to hurt his head with the thinking.''よろしくお願いします、あなたの安全が心配でした。そのように消えないでください。(Good to see you, I was worried for your safety. Don't disappear like that.)'' Dom replied. The arctic wolf sighed as he nodded, he didn't blame them worrying for his own safety he is a foreign student that doesn't know his way around the country.
Leaf nodded and Dom nodded back, he approached Legosi and saw right next to him. The tall carnivore was silent, but the arctic wolf could tell that he was thinking about something.''Hey, Legosi? are you okay?''The tall grey wolf looked at the arctic wolf, then back at the ground.
''Why did you disappear like that?''He asked ignoring the cheerful Dom in the background.
The young carnivore frowned.''Not you too...I had a hand full with the teachers and the club members...''
''We were all worried about you, we thought you were kidnapped.''The tall grey wolf said, Leaf frowned.''Please don't do that again, I was worried for you.''The lupine nodded.
Just then Juno came with a bag with her, he remembered that she was also worried about him the same with Haru.''ステージクルー全員!(Everyone on the stage crew!)''
''あ…ジュノ?(Ah...Juno?)''
''俳優チームも帰宅する準備ができているのを待って申し訳ありません。レゴシのリハーサルはうまくいきました。(Sorry for the wait the actor team is prepared to go home too. Legosi rehearsal went well.)'' The arctic wolf gave a strange look to Legosi, then to Juno. What has he missed?
''それでは行きましょう。(Then let's go.)'' That was the sign for Leaf to stand up.
''ああ、ええと、流星はほぼ完成しました。(Oh, uh, uh the meteor is almost done being built.)'' Leaf eyed Juno with suspicion.
''Something is definitely going on here...Is she trying to stall here?''The arctic wolf crossed his arms as he faced the grey wolf. He figured he should just leave them be for a while and just wait for Legosi as he stepped out of the scene for the two to enjoy.
The light went out and blackout happened.
Screams were being heard.''何だ!?(Wh-what?!)''The female asked in shock.
''それは停電です...良くありません!(It's a blackout...not good!)'' Legosi made a run for it with Juno behind him. But Leaf had other plans instead of following, he went out to find Haru. He knew what Legosi was thinking lead Juno to the group, then attempt to find the Netherlands dwarf, or so he thought. He ran through the crowd as he needed to locate his bunny friend. He could see in the dark, but with everyone running around it was hard to navigate through the darkness.
He pushed his way through everyone and scouted around the area, he could barely see a thing. He could see some silhouette in the back, but he couldn't make the form of the animal, but deep down he hopes it was Haru.
''待って、リーフはどこだ!(Wait, where's Leaf!)
''彼は再び逃げましたか?(Did he run off again!)
''彼は迷い続けます!(His always getting lost!)
''彼は私の後ろにいると思った...青葉!申し訳ありませんが、私はどこかでみんなの世話をします!(I thought he was behind me...Aoba! Sorry, but I have somewhere Take care of everyone!)'' He heard Legosi's voice. Yep, he was right, he was gonna find Haru. His instinct was to run to the silhouette and hope it is her.
As he ran, he kept being blocked by the crowd.''Damn it!''He cursed, which rarely happens. he ran around the crowd as he approached the silhouette at a great speed, but Legosi beat him to it. He could see that Haru was hugging Legosi.
The arctic wolf crossed his arms. As the light turned on, Haru didn't seem to notice that she hugged Legosi. She immediately backed off upon noticing. Legosi tried to offer her a sort of handkerchief. Leaf decided took a long breather before approaching the two unware that Juno was watching them from behind.
\Marbles/
In the days when we were young.
We seemed so much alike.
Sharing dreams, and Sharing heights,
As well as vocal range
When did that all start to change?
It's like we have become.
Completely different.
As it passes through the woods.
The wind rustles the leaves.
Where's the winds a-blowing to?
As it flutters past you and me.
As I reach out for your hands
So we can turn around and turn back the hand of time.
Even though these hearts are bound.
Never to be intertwined.
Still, each draws a ring ' round the other.
Is their revolving dance.
Hello, hello, my friend. I wish that we could go.
Way back to when we swore things never change.
When one day what you need.
Is someone's shoulders that you can cry upon.
You can know that I'll be there for you.
A/N:Since I missed yesterday's update, I'm pulling two chapters for you. Here one and tomorrow the second, the laptop decided to break on me.
