The Life Behind Theirs Eyes

Chapter 3

“Catching their breaths, the girl burst out into laughter. “Wow, that was amazing; I mean did you see how I split the beast's head amazing, right,” She said with a smile while looking at the guy who was leaning against the wall for support, still trying to catch his breath “Where did you get that sword? the guy asked as he looked at the sword in her hand. "Oh, the red one told me to grab it out of the tree cause it was stuck, but he told me to grab it and split the beast in half "the guy stared at her with a confused look, making her feel awkward. "why are you staring at me like that?" she asked.

The red one?

"Yeah,” she replied.

“...Well?” he asked.

“Well, what. . .?” she asked.

“Who is the red on?!” he asked loudly.

“Ohh. . . the red one is One of the good voices. She said

“Voices?” He remarked.

“Yeah,” she replied.

“The red one. . .told you. . . to grab that particular sword, to kill that beast,” he said as he started to walk towards her slowly.

“Uh. . .yeah, You're welcome, by the way”.

“I didn’t say ‘Thank You,’ so tell me more about the voice.”

“Well, Of Course!, He’s kinda like my-” Before she could say anything else, Redone shouted, “DON’T TELL HIM UNTIL IT’S TIME!” she nodded to herself and smiled at the guy and said, “Oh, Uh, nothing forget what I just said, my head is woozy from today” she nervously laughed. The guy crossed his arm, saying, “ I don’t believe you.”

“Well, I don’t know what to tell you; if you don’t believe me, then you don’t believe me.” She said while walking passed him, taking in the view of her surroundings. The ground floor and large open room were filled with dilapidated, obsolete machinery were trashed. Every surface had a thick layer of dust. EVERYTHING- the machines, the style, even the colors- was outdated. It looked as though time had refused to touch this place. “What is all this stuff. . .?” she inquired.

The guy was taking in his surroundings. “It looked like this used to be a factory; it needs a bit of fixing.” He mumbled as he touched a dusty machine. “You know if we could use this as our safe place.” He said while looking at the girl. The red one told her.

“Uhm. . .actually let’s just clean this table off for now. I have some food. Starving. You hungry?” he asked. “A little,” she said. As they finished setting the table, the guy opened his bag and started to pull out these containers filled with different types of food. “So what do you have to eat?” asked the girl as she scooted closer to the table. “I got roast beef, some fruits, mixed nuts and water.” said the guy. The girl made a disgusted face “Ew”

“Ew?” what do you MEAN “Ew. . .?” he offended.

“Uhh. . . I just mean that those options aren’t my favorites. . . You have anything else?” she said with an innocent smile. “No, I don’t have anything else, Your Highness.” she laughed as he glared at her. “What’s wrong?”

“You can’t afford to be picky now, girl.”

“O. . .kay, then I’ll just eat whatever you have”

He passed some of the food and they ate in silence.“So. . . what’s your name?” the girl asked. The guy looked at her and cleared his throat saying “My name is Ron, what about yours” She took a sip of her water and said “Harmony” ‌Ron‌ ‌nodded‌ ‌and said, "You have a beautiful name." She choked on her drink. “Thank You” He nodded his head. “We should get some rest then buy more food for tomorrow and fix this place up, how does that sound?” Harmony nodded her head while saying “Sounds great” After they got done eating, they searched the building to find some blankets and pillows. “ This is all I could find” Ron said as he held a few blanket and to pillows. “Perfect, Now let's 'Let's make a pallet and rest,' she said, "because I'm tired."‌ ‌They‌ ‌made‌ ‌their pallet‌ ‌and‌ ‌laid down.
