where am I?
Chapter 6: where am I?
Skull boy’s POV
“Hey” there as a voice right in front of me and a hand on me shoulder “common wake up” a gentle shaking motion rocked me back and forth.
I growled in like of the rock. My head and leg pulsed with pain, I wished it was a in me head, but I knew it wasn’t. The air was no longer cooled and the winds chill no longer nipped at my bones, the air was warm and there was no more wind.
“common wake up” there was that voice again, I also thought that it was Ruby speaking to me, but the voice was male.
Slowly I creped an eye open, things where burly at first like walking through a fog, but the mist soon cleared revealing three teenager standing around me all wearing black. I wasn’t is the ally any more but a small room.
“hey are you okay?” asked the human on my right, she had short black hair and very narrow face.
“ya, I think I’m fine.” I answered, I hoped that these people would not just take me farther away from my friends then I all ready was.
“that’s good,” the male on my left added, he had short blonde hair “cause this cut looks like it would really hurts.” he said as rolled up my plant and showed me the slice that went to about the middle of the bone he then covered it with his hand. I held back the scream once again but a whimper escaped my mouth. The hand was quickly taken away and an apology give.
Then the male in front of me spoke.
“why where you in that ally?” he asked putting his hand on my shoulder again.
“it was the only place I could go” I answered looking him in his blue eyes. “I was seperated from my friends.”
“then we’ll help you find them” he said with a smile, he then turned to the male on my left “Jake put a splint on that leg and once he’s done Kat you get new cloths on him, I don’t want anyone to see his face” he said as he turned to the girl on my right. The two nodded and the one named Jake quickly went to work on make a splint for my leg.
“why are you doing this?” I asked him “all the other humans here have done is hurt me and my friends.” I wanted to know why they where helping and how they going to get me back to Ruby and the others.
“we’re just trying to help a stranger in need” he answered simply as he just bandaged the two pieces of wood to my wounded leg. He then helped over to the room the girl named Kat.
“so where do you live?” Kat asked my as she dug through a bag of cloths.
I didn’t fully trust these people even if they where just trying to help, I wasn’t about to tell them where Ruby could be found, and the others to.
“I don’t remember, but I could find it on my own” I explained, giving her a bit of a glare.
“Have I your way I guess.” she sighed “just don’t get lost.” she then pulled out a black hooded sweeter, a pair of baggy black pants and black shoes. “here put these on.” I toke the cloth from her as she walked out of the room.
I looked at the cloths and sighed, “and Iris says I need more colour in my life” I quickly pulled sweeter on and changed my jeans, then put the shoes on. It felt bulky on thin frame and I couldn’t help but wonder ‘will Ruby even recognize me in this’ but I didn’t really have a choice, this was the only way of getting around with out being seen. I pulled the hood up and looked in the mirror across from me, it covered my face pretty well and it didn’t look that bad, well other then the two large pieces of fabric that looked like cat ears on top on the hood. I folded my gray jeans and put them in a bag then limped out of the room.

It had been two hours since I left be hide the three kids and started walking around the city alone. My leg still pained but less so then it was with out the splint. The three had given me a crutch before I left and I was thankful for it, people didn’t bump in to me as much as the others around them. There where a few people who stopped and asked me why I had a hood up and I simply answered “My skin is very sensitive to the light.” they bought it and I moved off quickly. But after two hours of walking, crutch or not my leg was starting to slowly me down. My vision started to burl again, and once again I wanted to cry out for Ruby. But I kept my mouth shut again. I leaned against a wall until the pain died down and my vision came back. A couple asked me if I was okay I said that I was find and I watched them walk away, I watched them go and silently hoped that ruby and I could be like at someday. I stood back up and continued to walk towards the house it was that far now, thing where starting to look like the area around there. About one minute later I could see the house.
