~~~~~ I ~~~~~
Darkness crept over the silent streets of a small village as a young girl walked them,looking around,she wasnt from around there and she sat down on a bridge, a single car went by and slowed down,a boy looked out one window,what seemed as his mother,looked out the back as she leaned over the edge a little.The sound of a door shutting made her look beside her as he come to her side."Beautiful."

She nodded and then looked over at him,wondering what exactly he was doing there,why they had stopped.She looked so diffrent then her surroundings he knew she was not from around there and it interested him,his mother had left and she stared at the water,looking into it as if it would bring something she lost in its current.He could see this even though he didnt know her,it was easy to read her,she was like a book to him,to anyone he thought,it was so obvious how she felt.Her eyes,they told her story and though he didnt really want to know,he did."You gonna jump?"

She hadnt expected this from a stranger,she had thought about it once,but she had desided ageinst it.So she shook her head and kept her eyes forward now,he nodded and then put her arm around her shoulder.She looked over at him,his cold grey eyes and dark hair.He loomed over her thoughts and vanished all safe feelings she had left."You should go to the shelter,they deal with your cases alot..."

She became angry and pushed away from him,going past him and he stood there in suprise,had he said something? Done somethign wrong? What was the matter with her? He shook his head and shoved his hands in his pockets,walking across the bridge to a path through the woods.She had run off somewhere and he didnt pay it much mind,but as he lay in his bed,he couldnt help but to think about who she was and what was the matter with her.

Morning brought him a new chance to think as he streached to the knocking on his door."Wake up lazy butt,come meet your roommate."

It was his mother talking and as her footsteps faded he pulled on a pair of jeans,opening his door before tromping down the steps,stopping dead at the sight of the girl from last night,she looked a little diffrent in the morning light,not so elegant,not so...mysterious.She was the avarage girl,dirty blonde hair and a slender,but not skinny body.Her height was to his shoulders,making her five feet and some odd inches,she wore a red plaid skirt with a black tanktop,with cuffs on her wrists and neak.She was as suprised as him,had he known he would meet her and just stopped by? Or was it random? She didnt know as his mother hugged her and then looked at the boy."Anthony, our little Lawny here will be staying in your room with you,be nice to her dear will you?"

He groaned and his mother glared at him as he finally agreed,she didnt have anything with her so he didnt bother asking to see if she'd like to take her stuff to the room and she turned to walk away when her aunt left.He grabbed her arm and she turned her eyes to him,he hadnt noticed it when they had been in the dark,then again he didnt remember it being on her then,a cloth covered her eyes."Wait,what's wrong with you?"

No one came to see his aunt unless there was something wrong with them,like demons after them or ghosts following them or they were suisidal.She wondered what he was thinking when he looked at her like that,and what did he mean by what was wrong with her,it just made her uncomfortable around him.She turned around again to leave."I dont like boys like you..."

Her words were cold and heartless towards him, an actor she could have been,but it seemed more likely that she was 'haunted' or 'cursed' with something terrible.It was how it worked with his family,curses,witches,ghosts,demons,it was all there in the family tree and everyone but him believed that thier family was ... disfuntional.This girl though,his roommate? She seemed diffrent...like there really was something hurting her,something......was with her.He had to know what so he followed her out to the pool and as she stripped down he stared in shock,she didnt care! She was in her panties and bra,which were remarkably more reserved then most of the bikinis that the girls around the village wore. So he didnt feel embarraced...as much. She knew he was there,even though she still had the cloth over her eyes and as she swam to the edge of the pool she got out,pulling herself up with her seemingly thin arms and looked right at him."You can stop spying on me Anthony."

He jumped at his name and then he came out from behind the wall,looking sheepish and red from being discovered.He wasnt very good at hiding was his guess as he sat down beside her in a chair as she sat on the cement,her legs in the water.Her skin looked ashy under the water and he noticed it was a dramatic change,not just a water change.This change his mind recorded without him really noticing it.Her words snapped him back to earth."And what is it you want?"

He stumbled through his words a bit,he hadnt had a girl talk to him like that."I uhm...was...I need..to know...."

"What's the matter with me."She mumbled to him as he nodded embarreced.She shrugged and then took off the blindfold,he jumped back and nearly threw up,her eyes were gone! Completly GONE! She heard him fall off the chair and she closed her eyes and then looked down,tieing it back around her head."I woke up like this one morning,no blood,nothing abnormal....my eyes were just....gone."

He didnt move any closer to her as she kicked her feet a little,something seemed off about this,your eyes didnt just disapear over night without a mess! He thought she was hiding something,but he couldnt pin what it was.He would find out faster then he knew,and he wouldnt like what it was in the least.

Night fell and she didnt eat,saying she wasnt hungry in the least,though he knew she hadnt eaten anything at all that day, it was just odd to him that she didnt eat,barely slept and not to mention her eyes.He was more and more interested as the days went by.It had become a week of this before he knew it,he studied her when she wasnt watching and talked to her when he could.She didnt go to school, which didnt suprise him at all with her condition and so he took it upon himself to teach her every day things,though she seemed to learn faster then he could teach.She spent hours on a site that she had made herself,making it into something like an online journal.
