the nest morning, after this meeting with Mimir, Agtha was silent, like a wild on a hill.
Atreus had noticed this, but said nothing about is. he barely knew that in Agtha's jacket pocket.
-l was wondering...if you wouldn't like...- he started, talking softly- to go with me to the ice skate rink near here...
His gaze returned to Agtha's face,
She was cold, and even distracted, stirring all the time in her pocket.
-Agtha? - he insists
-hmm? what did you say? I'm sorry I... I wasn't listening
And his steps go faster
Atreus looks at her, indignant, but also confused, because most of the time Agtha was always cheerful and ready for a quick response.
He then stops suddenly, and watches her, leaning against the school wall.
- Come on, we'll be late.
but the boy does not move, not a millimeter. And his look questions her, without words.
- What is it? Why is it. Like this? - Your steps also stop, a few metres away from it.
in Atreus' face there was doubt, and he hated that feeling. it was like a feeling of betrayal...
- I know you have something abnormal. I can see.
Agtha swallows dry
-tells soon what you're hiding Agtha, can't hide for long. It's days that you're like this.
in the girl's mind the idea was totally different, she did not want to hide but also could not tell everyone what there was seen and done.
- Atreus I...I have to tell you something...
-I KNEW! Fucking Agtha, why do you always do this?
-CALM! I know you're upset but look, there's a really crazy explanation behind this.
Atreus grumbles and then attacks her with aggressive words.
- I don't need your apology, I don't care what you did during the three days you ignored me...Do you know why? Because this is the same situation you've done to me since that day at the party when...-
She retreats and he gets angrier and angrier-
You were making out with that guy in the big car, while I, I THOUGHT YOU WENT TO THE BATHROOM!
Agtha knew it was true, she had done wrong to Atreus, and even to herself.
the girl remembered this episode very well. He had invited her to a party at her cousins' house,
and along with most of the people, came also, Andrew, a guy who liked Agtha very much.
at the time, it was the girl's first time drinking something, and in turn, had gotten drunk and exaggerated.
and the end of the story, you don't even have to go into details.
- is it really serious what you're talking about? something that happened I don't know...
now the two were extremely stressed, and by the looks of it the sign of the gate had knocked.
- I'm tired of it Agtha...you just cheat on me, and you lie to me every time.
after these words, the two just stood there, looking silently, without a word.
And in the end, Atreus returned home, while Agtha stayed behind... getting little raindrops.
His heart was broken, and his words dared not go out of his mouth.
He'd come back, he'd always come back for her, that's what he used to do.
Agtha then just turned back, and marched towards his den of happiness.
he was coming back...he had to come back.
The girl crossed the library gate, but it was all dark through the door windows.
The rain that she had passed did not forgive. the spatter fell violently, hitting the girl's cold blouse And wetting her pro inside. outside was a horror, but inside the library, it didn't seem to be messy.
in fact, everything was closed, dark, implying that she would stay there on the steps of Porto for hours, until reopening...
tired, and defeated, she just sits there, and watches the urban landscape in front of her.
normal cars, and normal people. It was always the same, every day. It was too boring to be something that would be worth just watching...
but it was this or nothing. no one was going to open the damn door...
click! clack!
She is amazed, it was a dry and fast noise, like a... LOCK!
Agtha gets scared when the door simply opens in front of her, and slowly stretches in, like an invitation.
her gaze and curiosity gleamed in her face,but, a doubt arose in front of you. She was afraid and a sudden cold passed through her spine, but she took courage and entered the place...little by little her body It was softening and fading amid the blackish mist that lay before it. Certainly that place was not the library.
Agtha knew this very well, but her curiosity spoke louder and her soft "burn" started to hurt in the palm of her hand.
3 steps forward and the doors simply slam hard, locking it inside.
a moment passes and the same doors reopen, revealing the library normally working.
It was an illusion, but the poor girl didn't know it.
