Let's go see what Masky and Amity are up to now. =^.^=
Timothy led me to a small space away from the crowd where the music wasn't so loud but was rather soothing instead. He really wanted to dance didn't he? Of course he did it wouldn't make the others suspicious of us.
"Ummm I d-don't know how to d-dance." I said.
"It's okay just hold on to me and do what I do, it's easy." He said softly.
Timothy pulled me close to him so I could hear his heartbeat and had me wrap my arms around him. I could feel his chest move as he breathed and I could smell a faint spicy aroma around him. I felt like a little girl again, it was like when Leon or Daddy would twirl me around like a princess. I felt safe, happy and most of all connected. There was an odd new feeling that my whole body felt as I danced with Timothy. I felt like I was drowning in lukewarm water yet I could still breathe, I felt as light as a feather it was if any light breeze could topple me down. Was I sick? What if I had caught some odd disease, I've never felt this way before. Just ignore it and you'll be fine I told myself. So as we danced or more like as Timothy led I focused on the lyrics to the song:
The day we met frozen I held my breath
Right from the start I knew that I had found the home
For my heart beats fast, colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One Step Closer…..
I have died everyday waiting for you, darling don't be afraid I have loved you for 1000 years
I'll love you for 1000 more
Time stands still, beauty in all she is
I will be brave I will not let anything take what's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One Step Closer…..
I've never heard this song before and I had no idea who sung it but then again I don't know most songs. When Leon died and I closed myself I also stopped paying attention to music. I like this song so far; I liked the words and the tune. The part that goes 'How can I love when I'm afraid to fall' happened to remind me of myself. I don't want to feel anything at all towards anybody but then there's this family. This family just keeps clawing at me; it wants me to open up. Maybe I would open up if I didn't know the most likely outcome, I would get hurt if I open up and connect. But what if the most likely outcome doesn't happen, what if the opposite does?
"Okay follow me Amity." Timothy said suddenly.
I nodded and followed after him as he strode towards Jaime and Eric. He put a look on his face that made him seem extremely bored even I thought he was uninterested in our surroundings.
"Ugh I'm bored, are all your dances like this?" He asked the couple.
"Yeah" Eric replied. "Just chatting and dancing."
"Hmmm, hey wanna see something cool?" Timothy asked.
Jaime said yes and Eric shrugged uneasily. Even though I don't know them I already sort of have an idea of their personalities. Jaime is hyperactive and easily excited, she doesn't exactly regard others feelings and can't stay still for long. Eric is intelligent, he's suspicious of strangers, and he's quiet and good at observing.
"There's this really cool place out by a forest, wanna go see it?"
"Sure!" Jaime said happily.
Eric took a few moments to think, he would look at Timothy and I then back at the people dancing and back.
"I guess I'll come but won't it be dark?" He asked.
"Nah but if it does get dark I always carry two flashlights around." Timothy replied.
"Why?" Eric asked a bit confused.
"Scared of the dark." Timothy lied casually.
