047: Scared

[livingmyths]

Something's wrong. I don't know what, but the clocks are dead and there's something in the wind and... it's just wrong. Like bad wrong.

And I'm scared.

I want to be home safe in my house where I can see the stars, but it's dark and I'm afraid to leave the library.

I live with Jack, Gwen and Kyle. I think you've met some of them? They won't mind you there.

Plenty of doors, and we have windows in some rooms that go from floor to ceiling.

Jack who cooks? I know him. I don't think I know the others.

[king-coffee.livejournal.com]

A different Jack. One who wears a big military coat.

Abby lives there, too.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh. He scares me.

But Abby's one of my best friends!

[king-coffee.livejournal.com]

He can be a bit loud. I'll make him behave.

She's lovely, isn't she?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

She is.

Okay, then. I think I'd like that. But if I get scared I can go back to the Library, right?

[king-coffee.livejournal.com]

Of course you can.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay. Then when it gets light out I'll come over.

[king-coffee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, make sure not to go out when it's dark.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I won't. I already promised Mat I wouldn't.
