Chapter 9-
Nora sat next to Brianica while she listened to Veronica sing a heart-lifting song. After Veronica finished, Ms. Croon called Nora up. The girl stood in front of the class and closed her eyes, remembering the lyrics, and sang along to the haunting toon in a soft, ghostly voice.
"Hello my Friend,
I am the Darkness
Behind your Closed Eyes.
I am the Shadow of Doubt
You Always Have.
Hello my Friend,
I know You
But
You Don't know Me.
I know that,
You are all Happy
You have Love
You are Hopeful
And
You are Free~dom.
You Don't know that,
I am Sad
I am Hurt
I am Lonely
And
I am Ca~ptive.
I am the Darkness
You are the Light
We need Each O~ther.
You are the Light
I am the Dark
We are one
We need Each O~ther
For~ever"
Once Nora sang (she was last) the bell rang signaling school being over. Everyone chattered and exited the doors to the building.
"I'm going to the library, have to research upon volcanoes for Biology" the girl informed her brother and he nodded.
"Stay safe"
"I will"
Nora sat on a sofa as she read about Mount Etna. She was almost done when her phone buzzed signaling that she got a text. She took out her phone and checked it.
Jaime: Dinner's almost done
Nora: I Will be there soon
Nora packed up her stuff, checked out the book (plus a book about Bugs and Insects) and left the building.
The girl was walking past an alleyway when her wrist was grabbed by a strong and fatty hand while another hand wrapped around her mouth, preventing her from calling for help. The struggling girl was pulled into the ally and smelled the disgusting stench of alcohol. Nora's yells were muffled.
The (clearly) male held her against a wall and his stenchy breath got closer and closer. His nose brushed against hers and his lips tilted slightly, about to kiss her, when a shadow appeared behind his stout figure. Two dark hands ripped the man away.
Nora gasped and panted as adrenaline coursed through her veins.
The sound of something whirring than a loud blasting noise reached the 15-year-olds ears. She looked up and stared at the military solute and familiar body structure.
"You" Nora breath out, "you helped me through a panic attack and now you've saved me. Why?"
A low rumble (sort of sounded like a growl mixed with a soft laugh) came from him and his red-gold eyes narrowed.
"You attract a lot of trouble" he monotoned.
Nora narrowed her eyes at him and huffed, "I'm not Hiccup"
The male blinked once, twice before picking her up. Nora yelped and clung onto him like a koala as he flew.
"Scheisse! (Shit!) Where are you taking me?!" Nora yelled over the wind.
"To your home Meat"
"I Am NOT... Okay, Maybe I Do Have Some Meat, But I'm More Water And Liquid Than Meat!" she yelled over the wind.
He didn't reply, just flew.
They landed in her backyard and he set her down.
"Thanks" Nora smiled at him, "for helping me, twice... and saving me"
He nodded before flying away, Nora watching as he left before looking at the small, white paper he left in her hand.
