[Alec M'Crae]

Biting on his black sleeve, Alec sat in silence with his assigned nurse who decided to take him out to a café. At least this time he was allowed outside, usually he would just run off; but now with someone watching him, Alec knew he couldn't run off to explore the city like he used to. Both of them sat at a window seat, his nurse deciding what she should buy herself, while she was just going to buy Alec a chocolate chip cookie and a juice box. The boy had his head rested against the glass, his teeth still clutching onto his sleeve that held a good amount of cloth in his mouth. It made him feel comfortable in a place filled with people he didn't know. Sometimes he would just start screaming and go on this violent rampage, taking a sedative so get him to shut off. Hopefully it would stay that way.

"Alec, I'm going to go get the food. Stay here." His nurse ordered as she pointed at Alec sternly. even though he couldn't understand her, he wasn't going to move. There was no where to go anyway. As his nurse lined up by the counter, Alec found himself staring at the salt and decided to play with it. He let go of his sleeve and used one hand to pick up the salt shaker. He shook it towards the table and saw the salt start to come out. The boy found it entertaining and he smiled softly. Than he continued to shake it until the lid came off and all the salt poured out onto the table. It made him jump in surprise, but he seemed to still have fun with it, drawing scribbled in the spread of salt. Than a shadow casted over him and he shuddered, assuming it was his nurse, but to his surprise, It wasn't

[October Cursay]

Just another simple day for October,kicking around dirt with her shoes and bumping into other passerbys. The police had let her go, as was the ritual these days. They'd test her abilities one day, then the next, if she did well the day before, she could go out. So she had done well.
Yesterday she had melted a small car into nothing but liquid metal and they had rewarded her generously. Today was her day off and she was more than happy to be let out.

She wore a now dress that the policemen had given her. It was small and fit her nicely. She looked like a small child even with her white hair up and her eyes bright. No more did she fear pain, as she was doing well for once!
October looked around quietly; it was rush hour and many people were going home. Slightly panicked, she ducked out of the roads and onto the sidewalks. Behind her, a large window was open and she couldn't help but poke her head in. The cafe smelled of cinnamon and coffee, both of which she had never had, but she knew that it smelled nice. A small grin appeared and she leaned into the open window, her waist pressing against the pane.

[Alec M'Crae]

The shadow that seemed to have frightened him before wasn't, in the end, anything to be afraid of. Actually, he was overjoyed to see the person leaning in the window- it was October! Alec quickly glanced back at his nurse, finding she wasn't close to ordering their meal, and appearing to be more interested in her iPhone than keeping an eye on Alec, so the boy stood up and snuck outside the café, trotting over to October and giving her a big hug. Not some kind of friendly hug a couple of teenagers would do on an encounter like this, obviously. They both had the minds of seven year olds! Instead it was on of those little kid 'happy to see you' hugs. How cute.

Taking both of her hands, the right sleeve slightly wet from his biting it, he led her inside and to the table he was sitting in. Still, his nurse didn't notice. He wanted to show October what he was doing while sitting her alone, and wit his finger, drew a little scribble in the salt. He seemed proud of it. Maybe October would want to try it too. Alec took her left hand and used her finger to draw a scribble in another vacant part of the mess of salt, smiling in a childish manor.

[October Cursay]

It took her a moment to realize someone had come out of the cafe. When she did, she looked over to see someone she hasn't seen for awhile. A larger grin spread across her face and she welcomed his sloppy hug with her own. She gave a small giggle and looked at him happily as he greeted her and began to tug her inside. She cocked her head slightly but gladly complied.
Inside it was cooler, the AC kicking as the summer heat rolled into the city. The smell of hot chocolate was no more and would soon be replaced by sweet lemonade and ice tea. People would be stowing away their coats busting out the bathing suits and shorts. October didn't own a bathing suit seeing as she couldn't swim either. Plus she wouldn't be able to go to the beach anyways with all the surveillance on her.

Still, it was just nice to be able to come inside to cool down.
October was led to a small table for two, she stood next to Alec and looks with sparked interest at the spilled salt. She watched her finger as Alex dragged it on the table making little lines and squiggles. She leaned closer, pinching a it between her fingers and smelling it, although it didn't smell like anything. Then she sprinkled it on her tongue and the taste reminded her of what was put on vegetables sometimes. She couldn't remember what it was though.
She clapped she'd hands off and put her other finger into the spilled salt, beginning to draw little stick figures, one with a dress and long hair and the other taller and with short hair. She pointed at it and giggled as it was supposed to be them. Then she began to draw food, like burgers and cupcake, but they really just looked like squares and circles.

[Alec M'Crae]

"Alec! What are you doing? Look at this mess!"

Alec shuddered and turned his head to see his nurse speed walking towards them with their snack in their hand. "Salt isn't to play with. You eat with it!" PMS much? Alec frowned and looked away, hating hen he gets yelled at. It scares him a lot. His nurse cleaned up the salt and placed his warm chocolate chip cookie and apple juice box in front of him. "Just eat it please." The nurse glanced at October, not saying a word, and decided to let the two eat together and walked into a single table to eat alone.

Alec looked at his giant cookie and broke it in half, handing one half to October with a cute smile. He liked sharing. Next he stared at his juice box in confusion. He had juice boxes all the time, but he never sets them up. Twine one else already does it for him. Alec didnt really know what to do now. Bring his cookie, he examined his juice box, trying to figure out this contraption that made him a little irritated. Would October know what to do? Alec looked at October, his confusion speaking for him and asking if she knew what to do.

[October Cursay]

She wiped the rest of the salt off, looking up as the nurse stormed over in frustration and put away all the salt, scolding Alec and dropping off the cookie and juice. She took the seat that had originally been for the lady and took her half. October snapped a small piece off and put it into her mouth, sucking on it until it was all mushy.
She continued this as she watched Alec play with the juice box for a bit. Then, he set it down, seemed he couldn't open it. Her blue eyes trailed back to the nurse who was hunched over with whatever she ordered for herself, she doubted that she would be helping them again. She looked at the juice box, then at the small straw.
She had done it before, or at least she thought she did. They had a lot of juice where she lived, so it wasn't something she was completely useless of. She took the box in her hand and took off the straw, opening the small wrapper, and examining it. It had a sharp end and a round end. She then looked at the juice box where a small silver hole was, big enough for he straw. October then tried to stick it in the hole, gently at first, but it didn't work as well. Then she tried it harder, jamming the straw into it until the silver hole burst open, the straw went in, and she splashed a bit of juice onto the table. She gave a small laugh before handing it back. She got it at least.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec watched her carefully as October figured out how to get the straw out of the plastic wrapper and into the juice box, and giggled along with her. His nurse turned to see what they were making a cute little fuss about, but she couldn't figure it out, so she just turned back to her food. Alec took a sip of his juice, and than offered October for a sip too. Obviously sharing was his specialty. Its not like these two would know what cooties are either- seeing as they act like they still think the opposite gender had them anyway. Some other costumers in the store assumed that something wasn't right about the two since when they both stepped in they didn't act their age, couldn't open a juice box, and neither of them has said a single word either. Everyone found it adorable.

[October Cursay]

She swung her feet in her chair, her hands folded in her lap with the cookie on the table. She nodded as he handed her the juice box, taking a small sip before handing it back. October had no idea what cooties were, just sharing. Usually she had very thing to herself she to the fact she was the only child at the police station and the only 'weapon' that they had to take care of. So naturally sharing was rather new to her, but she liked it.
She folded her hands back in her lap after popping the rest of the cookie into her mouth. She watched him finish his share with a curious tilt of her head.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec finished his food and now they were sitting at the table, not talking at all, but for some reason it wasn't awkward at all. Other people at the cafe watched them have a silence discussion. It fascinated some of them. Alec glanced over at his nurse who was still eating, wondering if they had anything else to do at the moment. In the end, Alec but his sleeve again, but more so chewing on it than just biting.
"Alec!" His nurse snapped as she ripped the sleeve from his mouth. "How many times have a told you not to bite your sleeve?!"
Alec seemed frightened by his nurse by a lot. She was always so mean to him.

[October Cursay]

October recoiled away from the nurse as she popped Alec's sleeve from his mouth. She didn't really see what was wrong with biting a sleeve, you could just wash. And she doubted it could actually rip and tear. She watched the nurse walk away back to her single table and chair. She looked at Alex slightly alarmed, silently asking if he was alright himself.
She turned her head, her eyes scouring the table until she picked up two straws from a small dispenser. She held one out to him, taking her own and putting the tip into the her mouth where she began to chew on it. She smiled, shaking the other straw in her palm as if to demonstrate what she meant by giving him the straw.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec got her idea quickly, taking the straw and holding it in his mouth and grinding his teeth against it. It wasn't the same, but he knew he was better off chewing a straw. October was intelligent! Now some of the diners at the cafe were taking pictures to probably put on tumblr and blog about how cute this way and how beautiful people are or something like that. Alec noticed, but he didn't mind. As h chewed the straw, he heard a familiar voice call his name. Outside of the cafe, Alec saw a beast he hasn't seen in a while since he started to take that medication. Bloo~! However, Bloo didn't look happy. The beast wasn't as gentle as it used to be. Instead, it showed anger. Alec heard a few frightening words in his kid, and a few directions to follow. Alec dropped the straw, his expression showing confusion, fear, and something else that couldn't be figured out. He stood up and slowly walked to a vacant chair, dragging it to his nurse, a loud screech echoing through the cafe and irritating everyone in the store, but assuming he has special needs, they tolerated it. However, Alec didnt sit in the chair. Instead he stared at his nurse with the same frightening expression, wincing before he picked up the chair with all his strength and bashed it right on his nurse's head. She fell to the ground, blood covering the floor, window, and any other surroundings. She was completely idle, bleeding viciously. Alec just stood there, staring at her with wide eyes. What did he just do?! Alec wasn't violent whatsoever. A later man in the store grabbed Alec and held his arms behind his back, kicking his knees to the floor. Alec looked at October, tears rushing down his face. He was so afraid...

[October Cursay]

She was happy to have come up with such a solution to their little predicament. Besides, it wouldn't be as fun of Alex got into trouble because of something to silly. She pulled the straw or of her mouth, looking last Alex to the nurse who was slumped over. She seemed pretty stressed, probably part of the reason she scolded them so often and viciously. October didn't mind that much, she was just doing her job after all.
She smiled faintly, turning her head back to Alec who was looking at something unseen to her eyes outside of the window where she had previously been hanging out of.
She saw his eyes light up and suddenly she remembered about the monster friend that he had when they first met. She couldn't quite remember his name, but she knew what he looked like! October looked out the window, straining to try and picture him as he did. Unfortunately her mind didn't work like that so she gave up quickly and turned her attention back to Alec who was now slightly quaking. His eyes held confusion, fear, she didn't like it.
October hesitated to go over and ask what was wrong, but he suddenly stood up, his face torn with emotions and fear. It made her nervous.
She watched him walk away from the table, dragging a chair with him as he went over to the nurse. At first she thought maybe he was going to invite her back over, but oh was she wrong.
With wide blue eyes, she watched him pick up the chair over his head and bringing it crashing down onto the nurses head. She flinched as blood splattered the ground and she fell to the floor, unconscious she hoped.
October stood up, her eyes wide and slightly afraid. She watched one if the men grab Alec and she gave a squeak of both confusion and dismay. She didn't want them to hurt him! She rushed over, collapsing onto her knees and wrapping her arms around Alex as if to attempt at protecting him.

[Alec M'Crae]

The man dragged Alec, who was clutching onto October, behind the counter, setting them in the corner. Alec didn't want to move, but he saw Bloo waltz into the cafe with a happy expression. He seemed proud of Alec for the horrible thing he did. But why? No one even knew if his nurse was still alive. Alec hoped so, feeling overwhelmed with guilt. All the panic and noises, the sight of blood and the mistake he made that Bloo seemed so happy about- it overwhelmed him. Alec tucks his knees to his chest and buried his face between them, running his fingers through his hair, a violent scream escaping his throat, over and over with no chances of stopping anytime soon. At the same time, no on know how to calm him down while the rest of them were panicking over the nurse.

Not to long later, two ambulances arrived, one for the nurse and one for Alec. The first group of people tended to the nurse. Getting her up on the stretcher with to time to check of she was alive or not. The other group of people approached Alec with caution. He was still screaming, and tried to struggle away from the two large men holding him down. Alec grabbed into October's hand, his body cold and shaking. But just as he thought he won, he felt a sting in his neck and passed out within seconds. The man gave him a heavy sedative that knocked him out cold. But even so, the grip on October's hand didn't seem too loosen at all. In the end the men took him and October into the ambulance, strapping in Alec while October was asked to sit on the ledge next to him.

[October Cursay]

Everything was happening so fast. She looked at Alec as he curled into a small ball. She felt so bad and there wasn't really anything she could do besides stay here with him. They were practically best friends at this point and she didn't have he heart to leave him so deep in trouble. She wrapped her thin arms around him as he withdrew into himself.
She made small cooing noises that were supposed to comfort him. She closed her eyes as the first wave of people entered the room. They walked over to the unconscious nurse making sure her pulse was still kicking. Luckily, it was.
Then Alec began to scream, she whimpered slightly with her ears so close to his screaming. She didn't like it, it reminded her of those alarms that went off back in the laboratory. But, she out up with it, moving one hand to cover an ear as to soften the discomfort.
Suddenly their were men around them and she squeaked as they attempted to pry Alrc off of her. She gave a loud whimper as the two struggled to maintain their current position rather than be pulled apart. Eventually they stopped and resorted to something else. She hugged him as the people shot him with what was a needle and medicine that seemed to make Alex go to sleep. She looked at him as he closed his eyes and he men came close again. She gave a noise of dismay as they tried to pull him off once more strangely enough though they couldn't. His hand was still latched onto her in a vice grip. They once again turned away, picking him up and taking her with them.

Moments later she was in an ambulance with Alec as he slept on a table in the middle and she stood next to him, refusing profusely to sit down. Her anxiety was beginning to get the better of her, being in such a nerve racking crisi with her one and only friend unconscious and in trouble.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec was as still as a corpse, sleeping tense on this bed set in the middle of the ambulance. He was strapped in tight incase he were to wake up. No words were said as they drove back, and departed as the other ambulance headed to the hospital while the other one went to the asylum. It wast a long drive and Alec woke up at soon as he was taken into his room. He didn't freak out or panic, since the medication was still slightly in tact, and he was much calmer. They let October sit in his room with him for a better level of comfort.
Alec was so scared and confused, biting his thumb with a sense of nervousness and a high level of anxiety to follow along. No one was allowed to enter his room yet unless permitted. Alec rocked back and forth on his bed,jumping to every little sound in the building.
