Eleanor's Darkness
Ambition
After Chester and Eleanor had eaten they had set out to find Chester's home. Chester couldn't believe how close they were, instead of having to take multiple subway trains across town they would only have to take one. As they traveled together Eleanor would ask him questions like what was his favorite food or what was his favorite color and other things along those lines. Chester found it weird that she wanted to know so much about him, as far as he was concerned he was rather unremarkable and uninteresting. Why in the world would she be interested in a guy like him?
As they exited the subway and once again into the streets of New York Chester could not help but notice a group of four guys following them.
'Already?' Chester thought. He sighed, in situations like these the last thing that you want to do is run. If you do that's just showing them that you are afraid and makes it even more likely that they will start messing with you. Chester looked to the sky and saw that the sun was barely up. He cursed. He knew that they should have waited until later on. Chester just kept his cool and led Eleanor on to his house, not acknowledging the groups presence at all.
"Hey, Baby!"
One of the men called out.
'Shit…' Maybe they should run. Chester grabbed Eleanor's hand in a attempt to run for it but she didn't budge. Chester looked at her in confusion, what was she thinking.
"Who…me?" Eleanor said, pointing to herself innocently.
"Yeah, what's a girl like you walking with pep squeak like this guy?" The biggest of the guys said, pointing to Chester. Chester was livid, but he knew that he would not be able to take this guy. He was HUGE. Eleanor just smiled at him.
"He's my boyfriend." Eleanor said. Chester looked at her with his mouth hung open. Where the hell did that come from? The guy however didn't back off.
"That guy? He looks like he couldn't fight himself out of a paper bag. You need someone stronger, someone that will actually fight for you. Not this chicken shit." Within the blink of an eye Chester was on the ground, one of the other guys had sneaked up on him and struck him with a wooden bat. He was out cold.
"Now, why don't you just come in this here ally way and give us what we want?" asked the big guy. Eleanor just gave them a smile.
"…Ok…come here…" She said seductively as she walked into the ally way while swinging her hips from side to side. The group of guys not sensing that anything was off for some reason followed her into the ally.
No one was around to here the men's screams of pain and terror.

"Hey! Can you hear me?"
Chester awakened to the site of worried ocean blue eyes staring down at him.
"What…happened?"
"I gave them my wallet and they left." Said Eleanor. Chester looked at the ground, sickened by himself.
"I'm sorry I wasn't able to-
"That's ok, there wasn't anything in it anyway!"
"Are you serious?" Asked Chester. How can someone be that stupid! If you plan on robbing someone at least check to see if you are stealing anything of value. What bunch of fucking retards!
"Well…shall we carry on 'boyfriend'." Eleanor said with a wink. Chester just laughed.
"Yeah sure, 'princess' Eleanor." Chester wondered how Eleanor could be so happy and care free. Even if there wasn't anything in the wallet she was technically robbed.
"Well come on, my house is this way." Eleanor sighed and followed, grateful that he didn't turn to look into the bloody ally way.

"Hello? Is anyone home!" Chester yelled out. Chester walked into the house with Eleanor right behind him. He walked into the kitchen and looked at the clock on the microwave. It read seven o-clock PM. That meant that his parents had already went to work and his little brother and sister had gone to school. Chester was grateful that he didn't start school until tomorrow.
"Well looks like no one is here, sorry for bringing you out all this way for nothing."
"That's ok, I can wait." Eleanor said. Chester was surprised, she was actually going to wait until his parents got home…with him? After all the shit she had to deal with because of him?
"Besides. This means that I'll have more alone time with you." Eleanor whispered seductively into his ear. Was she…flirting with him? Chester thought she was just kidding with that boyfriend crack.
"Uh…" Chester was really nervous now.
"Just kidding!" She said as she walked off to explore the house. Chester blinked. Blinked again. Blinked three times.
"Girls are weird… Wait am I just noticing this?" Chester asked himself.
Eleanor looked at the walls lined with family photos. She wished she had a family like that…Chester was a lucky one in her eyes. Eleanor shook her head. She couldn't let things like this distract her from her goals. ….What were her goals? What were her plans for this chapter of her life?
"Hey Eleanor, are you going to school tomorrow?" Chester asked.
"Of course silly, I can't miss school!" Eleanor answered back. Chester just smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head.
"So Eleanor… I told you pretty much all about me so…could you tell me a little about yourself? You know things like your likes, dislikes, dreams…" Chester looked to Eleanor , he didn't want to make her do anything she wasn't comfortable with. Eleanor gave him another one of her beautiful smiles.
"Ok! Well, I enjoy sitting on the beach and watching the sunset, I dislike people who don't understand the value of family and my dream, no, my ambition is to…" Chester leaned forward in anticipation.
"My ambition is…to RULE THE WORLD!" Eleanor yelled dramatically.
There was a silence and then Chester burst out laughing.
"Rule the world! Are you serious?" Chester asked. Eleanor just crossed her arms and put her lips in a pout.
"Hey, don't laugh! You never know…" Chester looked to Eleanor, for some reason a shiver went up spine at her next words.
"I might."
