Alice's Secret
Chapter 2:Steve
A couple days after that little "event" passed by and I had to search for my own food and since The Six Kingdoms are still in war if I see someone from a different clan I have to run and hide or they'll kill me on the spot. One day, I found a small house with a human boy that had short dark brown hair, jet black eyes, and pale skin that looked about my age gardening in the front yard. My first thoughts were "hide or he'll kill you", but I couldn't bring myself to hide so I stayed and watched him. As nightfall came I found myself falling to sleep. When I came to, I found myself in the same house I watched for so many hours. On the nightstand beside the bed was scrambled eggs, bacon, and a glass of cold milk. As I walked to the front door confused it swung open and the same human boy greeted me with a smile.
"Hello." He tilts his head a little to have a better view of the food on the nightstand and his smile drops a little. "You haven't eaten the food I prepared for you." I remain silence. "What's wrong? Its okay you don't have to be scared. I wouldn't dream of hurting such a innocent creature like you." He reaches his hand out for me to shake. "My name's Steve. What's yours?"
"Alice." I respond without shaking his hand.
He puts his hand down slowly before asking, "Where are your parents?"
I think on that question before saying, "They're gone."
"Me too. They both got sick from The Black Death and died from it, but before they did my dad taught me how to survive in the wilderness and look at me now." He beamed at the thought of how he turned out. I couldn't help but smile with him. "There's that smile I was looking for. Now then lets eat!"
On that day I confessed to him on how my mom got taken away from me and how I ended up on my own. He was a great listener. I started living with him and he taught me how to fight and survive. At first I wasn't very good with swordsmanship so we moved on to archery and on my first shot I hit the target in the center. During one of the training sessions my bow was a couple feet away and I wished for it to appear in my hands and it did. Steve looked at me weirdly and by passed it. After that it never happened again.
Thank you for reading chapter 2! I hope you like it. Chapter 3 will be out real soon. (^-^)
