Chapter 2 - Nice View | 02 |

A lady with gold skin laid flat on the snow coated ground with an arm hiding her face; nude.

Her breaths were short and rough, as if she had just ran a marathon. Her body was also covered in strange deep purple marks and gashs.

Stop staring you perv

I announced my presents with a quick and sweet, "Hello"

Or what I thought was sweet .

Flinching at my voice and crouching into a ball while holding her knees tightly; as if she would explode if she were to let go.

Her face was still not identifiable, her short & oily black hair now acting as a curtain between her and the outside world .

Or me

A deep sound rumbled from her chest; almost growling,

"What are you!"

Careful, she might bite

"I think you meant who, my lady. I'm Carson" I corrected, formally bowing,

Or attempting.

Losing my balance once my chest comes in contact with the bush I leaned over; which snow coat now sticks to my bare chest.

Tumbling on top of the bare girl with a Thud!

Another growl, "No! I meant what!"

With a single push of her thin arms I was off.

Oh...

"Why do you ask th-"

She cut me off sharply, "Before we play twenty questions, can you turn around? I rather be dressed for the occasion."

Her piercing eyes were now visible underneath their dark curtain, running lengths of me.

Feeling intimated, I follow her request.

or more so demand

Not knowing when or if I should turn around, I bring my thoughts back to the lady doing who knows what behind me.

My thoughts pinpoint themselves onto the only facial feature I was able to render,

Her eyes

Strange

As if I could categorize what's unusual

They were the color of amber

And her bare sight made me quiver

My thoughts shattered the second I heard a teeth grinding sneer,

"Let's have a talk, Carson"
