I was tired . Not physically but mentally. I had been doing nothing for the past three days except thinking . I had wandered around but not far because I was still afraid of people . That meant I'd spent most of my time in the alley .
Alone .
Just me and my thoughts . It was getting tiring . I needed to see more , hear more and touch more .
I didn't want to be alone .
But who could I talk to ? The humans ? What would I say even if they didn't start chasing me down?
Would I act unnatural if I came near them ? What if I ...got hungry again ?
It scared me ...the fear of my hunger coming back again .
But then again what if it didn't come back ?
I didn't know .
I looked up at the sky , it was blue and clear today . Not dark and grey as if in mourning like it had been for the last few days .
Was that a good sign ?
Maybe .
I walked along the pavement slowly . I had returned to the place where I bathed last night . It was one of the few places I knew .
I thought about going in .
There wasn't that many people around and I could just check to see what it's like inside during the day .
The temptation was too strong .
So I gave in . I went to the entrance I had hopped over last night and entered .
The fountain was ahead of me along the path but I didn't want to go there . What if that shadow I saw last night was there ? I didn't want to face it .
So I turned and walked on the grass next to the path .
There were trees scattered around the grounds and I saw a bench on the other side of the path I hadn't taken but I didn't go back to it. I didn't want to sit down .
I looked up to see where I could go .
Then I saw a pair of humans . They were sitting under a tree and talking with each other , whilst holding a phone . Maybe they were watching the movies I had seen on the shop windows ? There had been a shop with television sets displayed in its windows when I first entered the town and each one had been showing different things .
One had shown what must have been delicious food , another showed someone swimming in a big blue pool , one had a man trying on a brown hat and finally one had showed movies . They had looked amazing .
I loved the action , the drama and the excitement .
There had been one part where a man kissed a young man. I had felt a twinge in my head like I had seen it before , but I had shrugged it off.
All I knew was that I loved movies . And those humans under the tree were probably watching them .
I had to see .
I walked around them in a large semicircle until I was ten feet away from the tree where they were. I walked slowly until I reached the tree .
I could hear them talking now behind the tree . I looked behind to see them .
" How about him ?" the human on the right with dark blonde hair said to the one next to him .
" No , I don't like what he says here about ...my chest . It's ... indecent ." the other human said , he had blonde hair with red tips .
What were they watching ? I wondered . It didn't sound like they were watching a film . I sneaked a peak at the phone by raising my head .
I was immediately disappointed .
They were not watching a movie . It looked like they were looking at photos of other humans .
I groaned dejectedly , the humans turned their heads and I quickly pulled back behind the tree .
Did they see me ?
I pressed closely to the tree and listened intently .
" Did you hear that ?" the human said , it was the one with dark blonde hair , I remembered his voice .
" Yeah , l ...did ." the other human said ," Is someone behind there ? "
I gritted my teeth and furiously shut my mouth even though I hadn't made a sound .
What was I going to do ? What if they came to check for the sound ? Why did I make that sound ? so many thoughts whirled in my head that I didn't even notice the human until he shook my shoulder .
I started and looked at the human who touched me .
" Umm hi . Were you ... watching us ? " the human asked , he didn't sound angry but amused and exasperated , exasperated about what though ? I would have answered him but my tongue had gotten stuck to the roof my mouth .
The human was so ... beautiful .
He had curly lanked blonde hair tinged with red at the end of each tip like gold burning with fire . His eyes shined in the light like emeralds and his smile , it made his features stand out more , making him look like a gorgeous nymph . Yes , he looked like a nymph .
" Hey , are you okay ? " he asked me , his voice was sweet aswell .
" I ...I thought ...you were watching a movie ." I said my voice reverting back to the slow rasp I had when I first came up from the ground .
Darn it ! Why did my voice change now !? I had spoken normally before , why was this person making me nervous ?
" oh ...okay ." the beautiful human said ," Sorry to disappoint you . "
How did he know I had been disappointed ?
" Ok , I ...will go now ." I said , I had to get away . I felt my nerves winding up tight as I stayed near this person . I was feeling again ...I felt queasy .
" Okay , bye " the human said with a parting smile and turned around the tree .
I turned around and walked the other direction . I walked until I reached the path and then I crossed it and walked until I reached the bench I had seen earlier .
I sat down and looked at my hands .
They felt damp and moist , I felt unnerved by this . I hadn't felt anything like hot or cold , so why was I now feeling dampness or moisture ? What did that human do to me ? Why was I feeling this way ?
I looked up . From here I could see the tree where the two humans were still sitting and looking at their phone . I looked at the beautiful human , even from here I could still see his features . Actually I could see him very well . I saw his cheeks stretch and move as he talked . I saw his eyes frown at his friend as he said something . I could see his skin , it was soft looking and pinkish .
I rubbed my eyes with my fist and then turned to the side . I looked at another tree about twenty feet away from me .
I looked at it's leaves , I could see each leaf distinctly as they were in the palm of my hand . I felt a tingle in my eyes like I had placed water on my eyeballs .
I blinked once and my vision became normal again . Now the tree was far away and it's leaves difficult to define .
What had happened to my eyes ? I could see so close . I felt I could have touched the leaves with my fingers .
I turned back to the beautiful human , and I groaned disappointed again . He was leaving , him and his friend . Or brother . I didn't know which .
They were laughing as they walked . I could hear their laughter , I especially focused on the beautiful humans voice . His laughter sounded like the bubbling stream in the forest . So peaceful and relaxing .
I watched them as they walked out of the exit . And once I could have sworn the beautiful human looked my way but it could have been my imagination .
I sat on the bench with my hands on my sides . I looked up at the blue sky , or grey sky .
Where had the grey clouds come from ? Now the weather was as gloomy as before . I didn't get up to leave but sat thinking about the human .
And how long I would be alone .
