chapter 3

Seths POV

I was watching the girl scream and beg, it looked like she couldn't cry. The pain on her face could make anyone feels so guilty even if they didn't do anything to upset her. She stopped sceaming and calmed down as my father bandaged her up, when he was done someone banged the door.

'POLICE!' an officer yelled. The girl looked terrified as my dad went to the door. She grabed his arm and whisperd din a pleading voice I was too far away to hear what she was saying. He pushed her over to my mom and the little girl looked straight into my eyes. She couldn't see me, I mean there were bandages over her eyes yet it looked like she was staring right at me.

'SETH' my mom called breaking my chain of thought. I walked over to my mother.

'Yes mom?' I asked her.

'Run her a bath since the shower doesn't work' my mom look at the girl thinking in deep thought.

'Do you need help taking a bath?' my mom asked her. The girls mouth twitch at the corners of her mouth into to a little smile, but removed fast that if you blinked you wouldn't have seen it. She shook her head no.

'Show her to the bathroom quickly' my mom told me as she scurried to my father . I heard the door open and the officers asked my parents questions, I couldn't hear but I turned around to see it the girl was following but she had stopped in the middle of the hallway tensed. After a minute or two she relaxed. I stopped towards the closet and grabbed two towels for her. I grabbed her hand and she froze then relaxed. Her hand was 10 degrees colder than mine, it was really strange but then again this girl was lying in the snow for who knows how long.

' The door is right here. The bathtub is right here and this is where the handle is.' She let go of my hand and instantly felt everthing around her memorizing where everything is.

'Oh yeah I forgot to ask, what's your name?' I asked.

'I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.' she said.

'Seth' I said.

I was outside the door waiting for her to answer.

'Alice' she said, and with that she closed the door before I could ask another question.

Alice, it was a very pretty name. I walked back to my room where Kent and Jack were waiting for me.

Alice/ Ali's POV

I locked the door behind me so he wouldn't ask me any more questions. I forgot to ask him if I fixed the shower could I use it. Oh well I'll just fix it anyway. I got inside the tub and turned on the shower and surely enough nothing came out. I lifted my hand and pulled the water out from the shower so it would work properly. I formed the water droplets into one giant drop and put it on my arm. I let the giat droplet fall genly so it wouldn't splash everywhere and evaluated my arm.

I touch what used to be raw skin hanging out, now it was closed but it still hurt when I touched it. I turned around so my back could hit the water and it burned so bad. I touch my back and realised their were scratch marks in the middle of my back. I turned back around and decided to wash my hair. I turned off the water and got out.

'Alice?' it was Seth I could easily tell by the sound of his voice. I quickly wrapped the towel around me and opened the door. I felt him tence.

'Hear you can wear these for now' his mother said while handing me the clothes. 'Did you fix the shower' Seths mom asked confused. I nodded my head and closed the door and changed into the clothes. When I was done Seth's mom was waiting for me, she walked me back to the living room and told me to sit on the couch.

'My name is Lacey' Seths mom said. I nodded my head.

'My name is James, I live across the street.' Ah so this is the man the held my arms together.

'My name is Kent' said a boy that sounded about my age.

' I'm Jack' said another boy.

'I'm Seth' What the heck is the mom and me the only girls around here!?

'I am Allen, I am one of the councle elders but everyone calls me Al. I have a daughter that is currently sleeping over a friends house so you'll meet her tomorrow.' Well thankfully I'm not alone! Not that I'll talk to her or anything I just felt even more alone.

They were all waiting quietly for me to introduce myself. '

'My name is Alice' I said.

' I was wondering because I have to keep the bandages over my eyes could I trace your faces to see how they look like without actually seeing them?' I asked them.

'Of course you can do that but you can take it off the bandages tomorrow night.' I felt him get up and sit next to me. I traced his face with my fingers. He felt like he was or just turned fortey, he didn't have that many wrinkles though. Next was Lacey, her face was smooth and I got a pretty good idea her face as well as everyone elses.

'You can sleep in Layla's bed since she isn't here' Lacey said. I nodded and followed the sound of her feet. I climbed on top of the bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and fell into the black.
