The kid that captured her eyes for seconds was sitting right there putting his hands around his legs very scared of him being trapped outside.
his blue ocean eyes were filled with tears and his little nose was very red, his cheeks had traces of rears in them and the mont he saw her, he panicked.
by the collective clothes that she was wearing he knew exactly that she was from district one.
One of the reasons that made Chris do that was to dissociate other districts from his district, for them to be recognizable in order to leave them out of his district.
Even though lexie was so terrified of the ssed-up things she saw on her way to look up for him, she couldn't just hide her scared face along the way to act normal.
She waved at him but he just bowed his head on the ground while trying to not have any eye contact with her, she forced a smile just to make sure that she was not scaring him.
However, his reaction was so stiff to the point where she thought that she might have scared him even more.
" Hey kid, are you on your own here?" Lexie asked while trying to make him a bit comfortable to gain his trust.
He didn't answer her, so she added:" being here on a night like this is dangerous, do you know that?"
The kid kept on looking at her without giving her an answer, she knew that trying to gain his trust is so ssed up and that is why she had to be impulsive.
Not the ti or place was fit for this kind of issue, she had to go back fast to her house and that is why she got closer to him which made him more contracted than he ever was and grabbed from his arm despite his resistance.
The kid was not that strong but the way he was moving he was totally going to slip from her hand.
"Just stop moving " Lexie yelled at him, she was too tired to deal with him.
He kept on moving that way, which made her say:" i am here to help you, you stupid little kid, i am not planning to harm you, do you rember , you passed by my house before you entered the forest, you looked like you need help and that is why i am here "
"You are ….from …district one," the kid said like she should know sothing by that statent.
"Yes, i am…so ?"
"You are killing anyone from the outside "the kid had a shake in his voice that she recognized very well, it was as if he was regretting saying that to her.
" I am not going to kill you, I want to save you to pass this night, okay? So stop resisting, my arm is hurting and i need to go ho fast….this place is burning"
"Burning ?"
" yeah, the forest is burning and i can't leave you here because if you stay, you are going to die"
"I don't want to die " he stated with fear in his eyes.
"Well, now we should get going, my boy " Lexie smiled at him, then she added:" my na is lexie by the way, what is your na?"
"Ciel, my na is Ciel"
the kid was still scared yet when lexie told him about the fire in the forest he had to go elsewhere and she seed the only way for him to get out of that place unnoticed.
they walked for half an hour before they got to her house, she walked fast to open the door leaving him standing behind with so much fear.
when lexie opened the door she called for him imdiately with a smile on her face, he followed her despite all the restrictions.
he stayed at the entry when she went to the basent to call out to her family.
her mom was the first to get out, she was so upset and she even glared at Ciel as if he was a threat of so kind.
Lexie didn't even smile at her mother when they had their eyes collided, she said with a strict voice:" The forest is on fire and this night seems to be the worst triple full moons night ever "
" You did what was in your head, and you even brought the kid to our house, what were you thinking when you did this, lexie it is not ti for you to get reckless, not at tis like this my kid"
" i am telling you that the forest is burning and it will eventually reach our house, people are in their basents hiding from monsters but the fire is what is going to kill them," Lexie said in an angry tone.
" what do you suggest then, the triple full moons are about to end soon, should we just stay like this in our house or leave," her mother asked.
" even if the triple full moon ends the fire will continue to spreads until it reaches us, i think that we should move away from this place, i can feel the burn in my nose which ans that it is spreading fast, and the wind is making it spread fast" lexie inford her.
Lexie was very surprised by her mother's reaction, she was sincerely listening to her and considering her suggestions.
" What is your na, little one? " her mother asked when lexie was taking her ti to make a decision.
" My na is Ciel" he feared her, yet he had to answer her question because he was in her house.
"well, Ciel, i don't know why are you here, why are you alone , why are you planning to do after this night but all i am saying is that maybe for just this night we should stick together, don't leave my sight, don't cause us troubles, and i ll make sure that by the end of this night you will be okay " her mother tried to comfort him this ti because he seed very scared.
while lexie was looking at both of them with a smile this ti she said:" i will make sure that everyone will survive this night but first let …think of sothing"
