Words on a Page [open]

[Andrew Banaster]

The weather outside was cold and wind howled, it was loud and easy to hear in the library. The library was warm and big, it was peaceful here. Andrew sat on the ground in a corner, he was reading a huge book, then he sighed and put it on the ground beside him, with his hand still on the book. He looked around, he saw no one and knew perhaps he could just hide here and keep warm. The sun was going down and soon the library would close, but since Abdrew had no where to go he decided to stay where he was. He brought his arms around his knees and laid his head on them, then he wondered if anyone else would be hiding in the library. He got to his feet and krept though the many bookshelves to see if he could find anyone else, he didn't want to be seen however.

[Rose Scarlet]

Rose had her head rested upon the palm of her hand as she read the words upon a white page. She found word to equal into something of wonder. With a gentle pale hand, Rose closed the book after reading the last words it had to offer. Raising her head from her palm she looked around. Many of those she had seen walking into the library were gone, it seemed they had vanished. Rose looked around, but could not find another soul in sight. Turning her attention to her wrist she gasped. Upon her wrist was a white watch that told the time she feared. The library was closing for the day, which brought light to her confusion. Gently pushing her chair out, she stood up and looked around. She had finished four books within the time she had come all containing knowledge about the stars, planets, and all the wonders of space. Rose knew she had to leave soon because it was closing time and if she didn't she would have to walk the city streets at night tell she reached her apartment. Rose feared those silent dark streets and wished to have some light when she was walking home. Rose picked up the books she had read and made her way back to the section in which she had found them. Placing them back into their rightful places she glanced up. Her blue eyes grew wide as she read the title. She just had to have the book to take home and then she would bring it back the next day. Yet maybe her hope would not come true. Rose was on her toes and could not reach the book. She was rather small and she found it to be a curse. Only the tip of her finger touched the very bottom of it.

[Andrew Banaster]

Andrew watched as the door was beginning to get locked, he then sneaked off, then saw Rose, he couldn't let her stay here with no choice. He came up beside her and grabbed the book and reached out to give them to her. "It this the one you wanted?" Andrew asked nicely. He was maybe someone who didn't like to be with people, but he couldn't be that cold hearted.

[sorry, lazy]

[Rose Scarlet]

Rose was about to give up on ever getting the book, but then she lost her train of thought as an unknown pale white hand appeared over her head and grasped the book in which she had been reaching for. The book was lowered to her and she gentle took it into her soft white hands. Turning her head her blue eyes blue eyes gazing up at a taller man with brown hair and blue eyes. She had never meet him before, or she didn't remember him if she had, but she found him to be rather handsome. Rose then pushed the out of her mind so another could take it's place. Last she looked at her watch the library would have been closing very soon and this man was still here. Was he not aware of the time? She understood well that one could get lost in this place and all it's wonderful books. "Um.. thank you very much, but Sir the library will be closing very soon. Are you on your way out?"

[Andrew Banaster]

Andrew had no where to go, and by the looks of it he would have to leave and find somewhere else to sleep for the night. "Well Iam planning to stay here." Andrew grumbled.

[still sadly lazy]

[Rose Scarlet]

Rose looked at him with faint sadness in her blue eyes. Rose had a small apartment, one bedroom, small bathroom, small kitchen, and really small living space, but she didn't mind. She lived alone, a nineteen year old who was out of high school and on her own. No family or friends and a hard working job that gave her little money to buy anything other then food and allowed her to pay rent. Rose found herself to be rather lucky to have such things, unlike this man who didn't have a home. Rose let her gaze fall to the floor as she thought. She had a small couch that he could rest on if he was alright with that. She even had enough food for a dinner for two. He seemed like a man who was not out to cause trouble and even so there was not much worth value in her home. Raising her gaze she looked at the man, "I don't mind if you rest at my place. I have a small couch you can sleep on if you please. It's better then staying here and getting in trouble."

[Andrew Banaster]

"No I rather not." Andrew growled as he began to walk away. He hated getting close to people, he rathered being alone. Besides, where he came from, he just ended up hurting himself and the other people. Besides, he could defend himself, he could control wind.

[Rose Scarlet]

Rose watched him with puzzled eyes as he walked away. Did she say something that may have hurt him in some way? Rose didn't like the feel that started to fill her as she thought of her actions that way. Raising her gaze she looked at him once more, "Well then do you have something to eat? It's getting late and you must be hungry." Rose felt like a horrible human for not doing anything to help this man. He was going to stay alone in this library with no food and no real place to rest. She was sure he didn't have any money to spend and he was rather helpless when it came to common needs. Rose took a step froward and followed it with another and began to get closer to him.

[Andrew Banaster]

"I am fine." Andrew hissed, he now wished he did nothing, he was short tempered slightly. He had lived his life having to feed himself and hunt for his own. He had lived alone, in the forest most of the time and he didn't want to like other people.

[Rose Scarlet]

"Why do you shut other out?" Rose felt that's what he was doing. She had done nothing wrong. She had offered him a meal and a place to sleep and all he did was rejected her with harsh words and a growl to go along with it. "I would like to help you if you would just let me. I don't mean to hurt you in anyway." Rose reached out her hand to grab his arm in an attempt to stop him so they could talk this over. She still felt for just leaving him and she could not take this feeling.

(I'm going to be lazy as well.)

[Andrew Banaster]

"Why should I? I have a plan." Andrew snapped. He was smart enough to know what he was doing. He was planning to stay here for the night and in the morning he was going to leave, as simple as that.

[still lazy ]

[Rose Scarlet]

Rose stopped her hand and drew it to her chest. Her blue gaze fell to the floor and looked away. She was just wasting her time here. Clearly no matter how many words came from her lips his mind would not wonder from his caged ideas. "Well,I hope you stay well." Rose spoke in a voice that was just above a whisper. Keeping her gaze on the floor she turned around and started to walk down the book ally the opposite way of Andrew. She had made her way back to the table in which she had spent much of her time and grabbed her coat that rest upon a chair. She walked to the counter and realized no one was there. Looking around she noticed no one was. All the workers had left for the day. Releasing a sigh she grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the information of the book and her own so the Liberians could put it in the computer. Walking to the door she unlocked it and pulled out her phone and as she did her house keys fell out of her pocket. She was oblivious to what she had dropped and how important they were. Rose just kept on walking.
