XXI ✟ [Accidental Audio]

[17thfreewill]

[What's a night time transformation without at least one person out for blood? Not everyone can be relatively peaceful or harmless within the Halloween time.

There's a soft clicking sound in the background, gradually growing louder. Bones trying to fit into another form perhaps? The apparent change seems to end with a low rumbling sound, not quite a

As much as that smile should drive her away, Ai seemed intent on keeping her feet planted to the concrete. Everything in Paradise was not as it seemed. Lately life had been full of surprises that would make her think of the irony of the name.

Not moving an inch as he neared closer, she smiled back at him. With a tilt of her head, she took in his features closely. When she decided to speak again, her voice was as natural as the times she spoken to him over the phone-like device. There was a hint of melancholy to her voice. "...I guess we all have our secrets? Don't we?"

If he offed her like he had the creatures from outside, there would be no surprises to her death. She was aware of how foolish she was, those sounds he had made over the feed had been a warning she had ignored.

Fighting wasn't her forte, but when it came to dashing and leaping, she'd say she was above average. A lot of it had to do with being in the mindset of believing her opponents to be the girls from back home about to attack her. If it sounded like make-believe, that was what she was doing. Although, staying in that frame of mind for too long often brought on a form of delusion.

Making an attempt to spring from her spot, Ai felt her feet lift off the ground. Feeling herself flying in the air briefly before hitting the concrete on her side, she proceeded to roll several feet away from him with a high-pitched yelp.

There was no denying that had hurt like hell. The pain had been centered to her bare legs and arms. By the time she recovered with an attempt at getting up a brief gaze directed at her body determined the fall was bad enough on one knee that a small piece of tissue had been exposed through the damaged skin. Enough to warrant stitches, not that the girl had any intention on making that happen anytime soon.

Ai regained her stand and looked at him. Despite what had just happened, she didn't feel angry, no. She just felt disappointed that somehow she wasn't strong enough to make a connection with him.

As blood trickled down her knee, she felt a few, heavy drops soak into her sock. She'd make another attempt at getting through to him, her hope wouldn't dry up so fast. Focusing her gaze to his 'face' of sorts, she extended her arms. Somehow, she wished she could hug him or comfort him into a submission.

"Kaworu. You have to be in there somewhere. Come on, don't you recognize me? It's Ai-Ai, we talk all the time. We're friends!"

If she had to repeat herself, so be it. There wasn't a single moment where she would dare lay a finger on Kaworu knowingly. Placing her palms down flatly near her upper chest, Ai closed her eyes tightly and let her voice ring out as high as possible. Repeatedly saying his name, she was at a loss of what else to do. If all her focus hadn't been on trying to get through to him, she might of heard the squawks of birds ascending from the trees at her response.

Why did this have to happen to him? In some perfect image she had set in her mind, Kaworu was the person she had admired most. Maybe he hadn't understood her romantic gestures but she could live that. What she couldn't live with was the acceptance of him the way he was now

Hugging the scarf to her small frame, Ai exhaled deeply as he leaned close to her. What was he going to do? Eat her with his strange mouth? If she died being food for him, she knew her parents would be very sad...if they even knew she was gone. Still, she was fixated on satisfying her urge to see the figure of the boy she was used to. Maybe it was selfish, stupid and hopeless to try, but she was doing her best to be a good girl for him.

Staying silent except for the occasional sniffle coming from her nose from holding back tears, she didn't falter in her promise to stay near to him despite the scary noises he tried to make.

She'd keep a watchful distance for now. Considering her choices left her with very little to choose from, the kogal felt content to take him in and be sure he was safe. Unaware he could handle himself on his own, her presence was probably as needed as much as a bothersome fly getting in your personal space. If any other residents ran into the strange shaped Kaworu she'd have to make sure they did not become his snack.

Wrapping the knitted garment around her own neck, with a limp to her right leg she proceeded forward cautiously. Keeping to the buildings walls or any other objects she could overt from being seen as much of her presence she could keep hidden looked to be the best option.

That wound of hers wasn't going to stop bleeding unless she put some pressure on it. In the time she had spent ignoring it in the past few minutes, her once white sock had become deep red color. As fashion conscious as she was, she didn't seem to give a damn. She had found something far more important to her then looking good.

Watching with fascination, Ai had to admit that the sight of his wings were hauntingly beautiful. Letting her jaw drop, she simply gawked. There was nothing like this back home. Maybe special effects in a movie could create it, but this was real and right in front of her.
