Chapter 2 - Chapter Two

~Alexanders POV|~

I was strolling through the path, searching for

chicken flavoring. "Hello Usnavi! Did you

move the flavoring?" "That's right, back column. Apologies,

Sonny moved everything around." "You must

monitor that youngster." I kidded. "I've attempted,

my kindred doppelganger."

Usnavis my doppelganger, he closely resembles

me, besides without the long hair. He keeps his

short hair concealed under his cap. "Hello, I never

inquired. How's the spouse?" "Vanessa? She's

amazing! I'll tell her you said greetings." I then heard

strides and a noisy accident. "Ay! Sonny! ¿Qué

demonios está haciendo toda esta mierda

en el medio del camino?!" He took off in a

spanish digression that I was unable to comprehend.

There was an ever changing upheaval

among him and his cousin Sonny behind the

counter.

I heard him conversing with another person, and afterward

I felt somebody stumble over my foot.

"Woah! Please accept my apologies! Are you alright?" I

shouted. The individual aided themselves

up, disregarding the hand I waited for them.

I perceived the individual. It was something similar

young lady that came to the bodega pretty much every

day. "I'm fine." I saw she just had a slim

sweater on, it was freezing outside. Her

face was red with the virus. She additionally looked

like she could utilize a decent good feast. She

was truly thin. "Are you certain?" I inquired.

"Totally." She snarled. She left. I

regretted stumbling her. It was a mishap

yet, I actually felt awful.

I approached her after she paid for her milk.

"Hello, Please accept my apologies. I didn't intend to trip

you." She gazed toward me. She looked truly

underdressed for climate. Alongside the

slender sweater, she had a casual shirt

with shorts that came to her knees. Dissimilar to

her, me and Usnavi had rock solid coats

what's more, long jeans. It was cold in the bodega,

it's have to be cold to keep the food new. "It's

fine. I shouldn't have been a jerk." She said.

I held out my hand. "Alexander Hamilton."

She gazed at it. "For what reason are you giving me your

hand?" She inquired.

"Goodness! All things considered, I see you consistently, about

time I officially present myself." She shook

my hand immovably. "So are you going to tell me your

name or....." "I need to go!" She ran out the entryway.

"Who was that?" "That is Fanny." Sonny said,

emerging from the stock room. "Fanny?" "Short

for Frances." "Huh, I have a niece named

Frances." I expressed, going to the counter. "Goodness

no doubt, John and Stakes kid, right?" Usnavi inquired,

ringing me up.

He gave me the receipt and snatched his keys.

"Sonny! How about we go." He gestured and they left the

store with me. "You're leaving?" "It's cold as

for hell's sake, I really want warmth. The espresso, while great,

doesn't warm me up. It don't do poo." Usnavi

kidded. "It keeps a rooftop over your head." Sonny

snickered as he pulled down the mesh. It had a

image of a lady on it, Usnavi said its his

abuela, it was painted after she kicked the bucket.

"I bet

you

wish you were back in the Republic!"

"Truth be told, I do!" They kidded. They're from

the Dominican Republic, and from what I

heard, the climates wonderful.

Usnavi waved to me as I waved back and

gone to return to home base to Eliza and the

kids. I wanted to see that young lady again tomorrow,

perhaps at long last catch her name.

~THE Following DAY~|

~ Fannys POV•|~

I had recently gotten done with cleaning and cleaning the

kitchen. I'm not leaving without one last

task. I peer through the window and it starts to

snow. Great. Ms Smith goes out to the yard

to call the children playing outside. The children all

run in. There should be basically a

foot of snow this evening.

I approach my space to get ready for my enormous

escape. I won't miss this hellhole. I

put on my hoodie and change my knee-length

shorts for long jeans. Its not fitting for the

climate, yet I won't be outside for

long. I'll go through the night in a haven and remain there until the snow softens.

I stuffed my garments in the garbage sack, and took

the drawstring pack from the cabinet. I stuff it

in my pocket. I take the napkin rope, attach it to

the intensity pipe near the window, and drop

its remainder through the window. It's anything but a long

drop, just three stories down. I take the junk

sack and toss it down first, it the rope breaks,

I'll basically have a delicate landing.

Here we go, it's really working out.

I take the rope in my grasp, step in reverse

through the window, and slide down the rope like

it was a shaft. I give a pull on the napkins to

slacken the bunch, and I hauled it through the window,

moved it up, and put it in the garbage bin. I shot

off the grass, and headed out the entryways. Really I didn't

care assuming I was freezing, I was free. I'd never

gotten this far in my getaways before without

getting found out.

I took a full breath and strolled through the

city, interestingly, I felt free.

(Fannys POV)

I walked through the newly fallen snow,

freezing slop gushing in my shoes. I

can make it. I simply have to get to the asylum

what's more, remain there until the tempests over. It's so

cold. I can make it, only a couple more miles.

Stand by, is that the bodega?

I battle contrary to the natural flow by strolling against

it, the breeze fought back by pushing me back

strongly. I held a strong grasp on my garbage sack

of garments. I slipped on a fix of ice and fell

on the sack, excruciating hailstones and the breeze

stinging my cheek and nose. I started to shudder

viciously. I shakily got back up and booked it

over to the bodega.

I saw the entryway and attempted to open it, however it

was locked. I beat on it. "Usnavi! Sonny!

If it's not too much trouble! Open up! I really want a ride to the safe house!"

Tears gushed in my eyes, and froze on my

cheeks, which were at that point blue from the

cold. I sat against the wall as my long hair

gathered snowflakes and hailstones, and I

covered my face in my arms, attempting to keep it

warm.

Perhaps in the event that I stay here, I'll stick to death. Perhaps

I'll at long last meet my mom in paradise. Nobody

minds now. How will Usnavi respond when he finds

my frozen body here? It's smarter to simply

freeze.

"KID!" I heard somebody shout. I opened

my eyes, which was challenging to do with

ice keeping them shut, and saw Mr

Hamilton from yesterday. "Good gracious, kid,

are you alright?!" Dark specks swam across

my vision. "I-I-I'm f f-fine." "You are far

from fine, you're freezing!" He said. I talked

once more. "I don't...don't even feel.....cold

any....anymore....."

That was the final thing I recall before I

dropped.

(Alexanders POV)

I sat on the love seat, the bowl of popcorn in my

hands. Eliza rested on my shoulder while I

hung the fluffy, blue lounge chair cover around

us. "Glance around at how fortunate we are. We

have seven extraordinary children, six of which are at their

granddads, Philips at his school quarters with

Theodosia, and I'm here with my astonishing

spouse." She grinned, knowing where I was going

with this. She talked in the wake of taking a drink of her

cocoa.

"I simply love our family so much, I don't have any idea

what to do." We then yelled at something very similar

time:

"Whoopee, WE'RE At last ALONE!"

Well, hello, I love my children, yet I don't get time

with my significant other all the more frequently now. It's minutes

like these where we relish consistently.

As I switched off the television to hit the sack, I heard

somebody from across the road shout

for Usnavi and Sonny. "Do you hear that?" I

murmured, stopping the film.

"Open up!" The voice shouted.

"I hear it." Eliza said. I got up and placed on my

coat and shoes. "You're going out in that?"

She inquired. "Only for two or three seconds. It

won't do any harm. I'm about to see what's going

on." I left the loft and out the structure.

I looked across the road to see the young lady from

a day or two ago, Fanny. She was freezing in the

cold with garments that were not prepared for

the severe, chilly climate.

I went to her. "KID!" I drew a nearer check out

her, she was shuddering and her hair was white

from the entirety of the snow. Her cheeks and lips were

blue and her nose radiant red. Her eyelashes

were canvassed in snowflakes. "Wow, kid,

are you OK?!" I asked quickly, trusting she

still had a touch of life in her. "I-I-I'm f f-fine."

"You are nowhere near fine, you're freezing!" I

shouted. Once more, she talked. "I don't...don't

indeed, even feel.....cold

any....anymore....."

She then swooned in my arms. "KID! CAN YOU

HEAR ME?!"

Gah! What in the world am I doing? She can't hear

me! I really want to get her inside. I felt her virus

neck for a heartbeat. She had one, yet scarcely.

She wouldn't quit shaking, and her relaxing

became shallow. I scooped her up wedding style. I saw she had her hand wrapped

around a garbage sack. I saw through a little

opening that it was loaded up with garments. Those

probably been hers. I snatched the pack and

conveyed her to the condo, hurrying across

the road.

I basically kicked open the condo

entryway simultaneously. "Alexander! What's

going on?!" "We really want covers, a space

radiator, and towels!" I yelled, the shaking

kid still in my arms. Eliza searched in my

arms. "Wow, it's a youngster! What

the-Alexander-how?" "She was freezing out in

the virus. She passed out some time prior. She's

still alive, fortunately." "Get her to the visitor

room!" I hurried her over to the visitor room,

which was previously Philips old room.

I laid her down on the bed and removed her

ooze covered shoes. I covered her with

the cover. I was overreacting, she was still

shuddering. Eliza came in the room with two

blankets and hauling a space warmer by

the power rope. She wrapped the cool youngster

in a sweeping burrito and I connected the space

radiator. I put it up to maxing out, the youngster was an

ice solid shape.
