• "Canaan, did you just speak?" Ark said, amazed. "It was my fault. I killed them." I said again, meakly. "Tell me what happened" he commanded. "It was hundreds of years ago and it was raining, it was around midnight. I was still small than." my voice, it sounded a bit british, that was kinda creepy, I didn't remember it like that. "Me and my sister, Violet, were running in the woods. We were playing tag, I was it. I ran around, looking for my sister, I found her, dead. Her head was chopped off, the body lay on the autumn leaves's ground, blood everywhere. The head was nailed to the tree, a terified expression on her face. My mum and dad came at the sound of my screaming. Turns out, the murderer's were still there. They killed my father as he tried to protect me and my mum. He died, they reached in and ripped his inside right out of his body. It was a gruesome sight. Next, was my mother, she tried to protect me, but she died, they tore her head and poured the blood that spilled in their mouths. Turns out they were after me, after me because I was an unknown, one of the strongest, they said, good to sell or make a servant. It backfired on them. I killed them with only a bit of magic, although, I couldn't control it well than, so I ended up torturing them first." I told him. "2 things. You have a british accent! and, that was terrible. The whole thing with your family and the killers, it must have been hard." he said. I shook my head. "It was all my fault! They were after me! If I was never born....if I was never there..." I felt tears leak out of my eyes, the first time in 500 years. "You couldn't help it. You were really small than, but, why did you stop speaking and cover up your appearence?" he asked. "My voice gave away who I was, my entire appearence gave away who I was. I don't want anyone else to get hurt becouse of me!" I said. He grabbed my shoulders and shook me "You won't! You're strong enough now aren't you!? And you hurt people even more, by pushing us away." he said. He reached behind my head, and untyed the strings. I didn't stop him, and I wasn't sure why. I was sitting on the bars, it made me a bit higher than him, he was in front of me, standing, taking off my hood and holding my mask. "You have really long pink hair, pink eyes, smooth peach skin, and pink fox ears and tail. Can I draw you?" he asked. I was surprised, but nodded. He ran out to his apartment with his dad and sister on the lower floor, in 2 minutes, he came back with a sketchpad and pencil. I felt myself smile, and saw him blush. "That smile, it's perfect! Keep it like that, please?" he asked. I nodded. I smiled while he drew. "Okay, I'm done!" he said. I sighed and streched my numb cheeks. "Ah, s-sorry." he said, seeing my numbness, blushing. "Ah, it's alright." I said. "I like you better without the mask." Ark said. I took the mask from him, and saw it, just looked, not much done. "Not yet. I'm not ready, not yet." I told him. "That's unfortunet, but I know I will wait for the day you decide to show everyone your face, but until than..." he said, and kissed me on the cheek. I felt my face feel like it was on fire. "It'll remain my secret" he finished "Scince when were you the play boy?" I asked, teasing. "I thought I would give it a try. " he said, shrugging. My ears perked up. "What is it?" he asked. "Your sister is coming." I said. I tried to grab my mask from him, but he rose it above his head. "Hey!" I said, trying to reach. "Sorry, I didn't mean to." he said, lowering his hand, looking guilty. "It's fine, just give me-" I was jumping up, to get the mask. I jumped forward, and we fell. I flipped over so I would get most of the impact from the ground so he wouldn't get hurt. I hit my head, and Ark loomed over me. He was able to stop himself from falling, so now he was on his hands and knees over me. The roof door opened and out came Vanessa. "Honestly! If you had a date up here, you shoulda told me!" she yelled, annoyed at her younger brother.
