Alone in Darkness

[nokotchi]

January led Eon out of the forest and started on the way to her house. Her eyes seemed to be glued to the ground as she walked.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon held January's hand. "I love you January, last night didn't change that and I don't think anything can." he whispered.

 

[nokotchi]

January cracked a small smile. "I love you too Eon...." she said softly. "I was worried for awhile that you would stop loving me... That I would lose you."

 

[YellowJedi]

"I wouldn't do that January. You mean so much to me." Eon told her.

 

[nokotchi]

"You mean so much to me too... That's why I was so worried..." January said, approaching her house. She unlocked the door and opened it. She heard her parents arguing about something in her kitchen. "Try to ignore my parents...." she mumbled.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon nodded, staying quiet and following January upstairs.

 

[nokotchi]

January walked into the bathroom, taking a first aid kit out of her cabinet and setting it on the sink. She took a washcloth and wet it a bit. She walked to Eon and gently began cleaning his cuts.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon cringed a little, his cuts stinging a bit.

 

[nokotchi]

January finished cleaning his cuts and opened the first aid kit. She took out some bandages and handed them to Eon. "Here, you can put them on as you like. I don't want to make them too tight or loose." she told him.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon smiled. "Thanks." He said, applying the bandages where he needed.

 

[nokotchi]

January pulled down the collar of her shirt and began cleaning where the spike had been. She slipped up and restarted the bleeding. Hissing in pain, she held the washcloth to her chest and sighed.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Can you get rid of that spike?" Eon asked softly. "I never want to see it do any damage to you again."

 

[nokotchi]

January thought about it for a moment. She slipped the chain that the spike was on from around her neck and held it up. "I'll get rid of it if you promise me that you'll run when I tell you to so that I won't hurt you."

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon nodded. "Okay, I promise."

 

[nokotchi]

January nodded briefly and reached over, placing the spike in the trash. "Then I promise that I won't have anything to do with that spike anymore."

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon nodded. "Thank you." he said softly.

 

[nokotchi]

January smiled at Eon. She stood up and grabbed the bandages, wrapping them over the gash on her chest. "Here, let's go to my room..."

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon nodded, before remembering something. "What about school?"

 

[nokotchi]

January bit her lip. "Ack... We'll be way late...." she sighed. "Either we go late, or don't go today."

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon nodded. "It's up to you..." he told her, shrugging off the fact of how enraged his mother would be if he skipped school.
