Chapter Text
There she was staring out her window hoping the rudy eye girl came back. For the past week that’s all, she can think of. The feeling of her hands on her skin, the way her teeth pierced her skin, her voice, the shock on her face. She wanted to see her again. She as hoping she would come back. She knew she was real, due to the bite mark on her arm.
She sighs and closed her window.
It’s been a month now since that fateful night and she has been waiting for, hoping but she hasn’t. Her hope was slowly dying. Until this one day.
It was a warm spring day, she worked in the garden, tending to the vegetables and herbs her family kept. Her mother came out the back door telling her that they needed eggs and milk from town. “Elizabeth can you please go to town an get the eggs and milk?” Her mother asked her.
“Sure.” Elizabeth stood up and wiped her hands on the gardening apron. “Let me wash up and I head to town.” With that, she walked inside to clean herself up.
It took her fifteen minutes to walk into town and buy what they needed. As she was walking some drunken males catcalled her. Nothing new especially around noon. She continued her walk until she saw a familiar face in the crowd walking pass her. It was her. The ruby eye girl. But her eyes were brown instead. Other than that it was her. She wanted to go after her but she was afraid to. What if it wasn’t her? She had to see. She turned around and went after her. “Excuse me!” She yelled. The once ruby eye girl turned around and looked at her. “I’m sorry. You look familiar do I know you?” Elizabeth asked.
The girl smiled and shook her head, “I get that a lot. But I am sorry I don’t think we have met. My name is Samantha.” She says to Elizabeth, she held her hand out and Elizabeth shook it gently. It felt just like her hands. They were cold but soft. She shook her head and looked up at Samantha. “I’m sorry for bothering but um I got to go back home to give my mom the eggs and milk. She held up the bag.” Samantha nods her head. “That’s alright. I can walk you home? I wasn’t really doing anything anyway.” She says and Elizabeth felt her heart flew out of her chest.
“Yes!” Elizabeth said a bit too fast, her face turned bright red, “I mean, sure I like that.” She brushed her hair back behind her ear, smiling. Samantha smiled at her and nods her head. “I follow you.” Her voice was like velvet to Elizabeth’s ears. She wanted to hear her talk more but what does she say?
“So who do I remind you of?” Samantha asked Elizabeth and Elizabeth started to stutter. “I uh. This girl I met once. It was night time. And um we ran into each other.” Elizabeth looked over at Samantha and Samantha nods her head, “Makes sense. Night time it’s always hard to find that one person again.” She smiled over at Elizabeth. Elizabeth wants her to keep smiling at her forever. As corny and cheesy as it sounds she does.
It felt like it was too quick for them to come to her home but there they were standing in front of the gates, staring at each other. Elizabeth stared at her then quickly glanced at her lips. Ruby. Just like her eyes were. Was it all a dream? She didn’t want this moment to go away. Elizabeth opened her mouth but her mother called for her. “Your home Elizabeth! And you bought a friend. Hi, my name is Alyssa. I’m Elizabeth’s mother.” She smiled walking over to Samantha. Samantha smiles and introduces herself politely. “Well, I walked Elizabeth home to catch up. Been so long. I think a month now. But I got to get going now.” She waved as she started to walk away.
A month. That means! It was her! Elizabeth smiles as she realizes it has to be her. She hopes she sees her again. She thought as she walks into the yard as her mom gushed about how nice it was to finally meet one of her friends.
