Happy Endings Are Lies

In her room, leaning by the window sill, she thought about what happened on the hill today.

She walked toward her bed and laid down sighing.

*sigh* 'What happened?...."

She thought about his answer which made her think...."He does have a point..." She whispered to herself. 'I should just stop thinking about it.' She looked out the large window across the room which showed the bright moon hanging in the dark sky. 'Tomorrow's a new day...." She thought, falling asleep.

...

The next morning

Audrey was woken up to the sound of a knock coming from the door. The door opened to see a young blonde boy coming in. "Teacher, my father told me to come wake you up for breakfast."

"Okay, i'll be there...." She sat up on her bed, yawing. *yaawwwn.....* "Have you woken up Tinro?"

"Yes, but he didn't welcome me into his room without his permission and closed the door on me."

"That guy!....I need to have a little talk with him." She paused and looked at Denear. " Oh and before I forget....Good morning!" Denear slightly bowed his head and and left the bedroom without saying a word.

Audrey got up and got dressed in her usual clothing. She wore a black cape with a hood and an animal tooth necklace which hung from her neck. Her long leather knee high boots which illustrated her long legs, covered with something like grey skinny jeans, was a to-die-for scene. She also wore a belt which had a small pouch attached to it on one side and a sword on the other, as well as a magic staff of her back.

She looked at herself in a full-body mirror. "Perfect." She smiled and walked out of the room.

.....

In the dining hall

She walked in and saw that Tinro had already arrived and was stuffing his face with no manners or etiquette at all. He was just like a wild animal or more like a pig smiling while across him, a kid way younger than him ate with proper table manners but did not smile one bit.

It was only the three of them inside the dining hall except some of the butlers and maids of course. She sat next to Tinro when suddenly he said while holding a drumstick in his hand, "Hey kid! Why do you eat like that?".

Denear: "What do you mean?" He said, putting down his spoon and fork.

Tinro: "Why don't you live a little and go wild! You always have that cold boring look!"

Audrey pinched him. "Ouch! Why'd'cha do that? I just asked him!"

Audrey: "You're being so rude!"

Denear stood up and wiped his mouth using a linen napkin and placed it neatly on the table after using it. He walked towards the door and stopped, looked back, and said, " As for why I eat like this, it's because I don't want to eat like wild pig like you." He opened the door while saying, "You've ruined my appetite and about my "cold boring look" it is none of your damn business." His cold eyes, you could see a great deal of annoyance.

The door shut with a loud bang!

Audrey eating her food quietly said, "Why do you have to be like that! Why do you have to keep fighting him."

She was taken back by his answer. "That's not a kid I really want to fight in a real battle..."

"Because...." He paused. "He gives me the feeling I haven't felt in a long time.............He makes me feel like..." He looked at his companion.... She could clearly see him sweating and panting a little bit....

"I'm staring death in the eyes"
