I said goodbye to both of them and walked back home, the sky was already darkening, and the streets lost their movement, the weather was cool, and the walk home would be quiet, as I walked, I could hear footsteps behind me, I took a quick look but saw absolutely nothing, I thought it was something in my head, so I started walking again. "Sounds like you're going crazy, it's been a hectic day today. I shook my head and took a deep breath and kept walking.” Suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps again, I looked back again, but there was nothing, I was half way there, so there were more houses than other things related to commerce, I started walking again, but faster than usual, I stopped hearing them, so I was calmer, maybe it was an animal, or a child who knows. When I got home the sky was already completely dark, I looked quickly at Flora's house, it had been a few days since dinner, "Maybe I should take a look at her. As I was in front of her house and saw the lights on I was goin

- Easy, pet! Calm down, look how skinny I am, I don't taste good! - I might be sounding crazy, but I was really panicking, my heart was beating so loud I could hear it in my ear, the time it took me to reach the height of the key on the hook was the most difficult and traumatizing thing I picked up the key with trembling hands while interchanging my gaze between the animal and trying to hit the small end of the key in the damn keyhole, While I was trying the animal that was standing bent down, and I heard it dragging some iron thing that had fallen, that was my moment I looked at the lock and hit the key turning it once and opening the door at the same time I heard the animal running after me. - Argh! - I grunted as I slammed the door and heard the animal slam the door with a hollow noise, maybe I should have let the animal out, but how? If I was the one outside now. - Crrr! Ruuu! - I let go of the door when I heard the animal scratching at it, I looked around not knowing what to do.

We took our first steps back, the bear in front of us was still watching us, circling and making his noises, when we passed the open door I put my free hand down and took the handle slowly, and as we walked backwards I brought the door along with me, when we were farther away and closer to being inside the house Ethan let go of my hand and took the handle and closed it while he himself put me behind his body, I confess that I had never seen a black bear in front of me in my entire life and those seconds or minutes were the scariest possible, while Ethan was holding the door I went to look in the next window, watching the animal sniff the air and move away, I sighed with relief when I saw the animal leave my yard and disappear down the right side of the street. - He's gone! - As soon as Ethan heard it, he let go of the door, his face looking equally relieved. - Were you hurt? - He came toward me with a worried look on his face, causing me to quickly examine my body. - No, I'm fine. -

When I woke up at the insistence of the alarm I still felt tired, but I didn't protest getting up, I needed to go back to the studio to finish that artwork, which in the case would be to start since I hadn't even given the first hand of paint, I went first to the closet and got a pair of black jeans ripped on the thigh and a sweatshirt that had a social collar it was in black and the sleeve and the collar were white, I took everything I needed to the bathroom and took a shower to wake up my tired body, as soon as I finished showering, dried and dressed myself, took a good look at my hair that was in a mess, combed it with all the hate for the day and night of yesterday and put it in a loose bun with some strands falling on my face, I put on some light makeup to hide how tired and pale I was and left the bathroom, went to the kitchen and made some coffee, without caring much for the mess that was still there, I grabbed some cookies from the cabinet and as soon as the coffee was ready I

My heart was beating so fast I was afraid Draven might hear it, I could feel his breath on my face, and only at that moment I could clearly see our size difference, the man was not muscular, but he was tall and had a great physique, his perfume invaded my nostrils, the closer he came, the more I felt the butterflies in my stomach and a knot in my head. - Why don't we go on a date? - His smile seemed mischievous, and he seemed to enjoy playing with me. - A-a date? - I asked, confused. - Why was that going on in your head! - His tone of voice turned mischievous, which made me die of embarrassment right then and there. - Ha! Ha! Ha! Okay, okay, you found it! - I smiled nervously, not sure what to answer. "What were you thinking, Ayanne?! Draven must surely think you're crazy now! My mind hammered me and I literally bit myself on the inside, nervous at the chance." - Yes, let's go on a date. - He reinforced the request, but before I could think much I heard the door being opened, mak

When I started painting, I put every feeling that had that black, it was even funny when you take something pure like white and dirty it with black, white represents so many happy feelings, like peace, the will to live, purity, when a bride puts white on her wedding day she is showing how pure she is for her husband, not that this is something bad, to give yourself body and soul to a single person must be the most wonderful thing in the world, and this is what white represents, but black, the darkest tone, the color that prevents you from seeing further, the color of sadness, of death, the color that makes you sad, even if the color has not existed for this is still how it will be transmitted because the human being created it this way, marked it this way, was not on purpose after all who does not like to look at that dark sky painted with small bright points. Tell me how many people prefer to live in the black? Not being able to see beyond that color, not being able to smile because

After lunch, which in this case was a snack, we went back to the studio, in the cafeteria we just chatted away, nothing very important really happened, not that it was a banal moment or anything like that, we have to accept that life will not always bring us unforgettable moments like a simple trip to a restaurant, and you end up meeting your soul mate, life does bring us many surprises, of course, but I have to accept that even things as monotonous as a simple conversation in a cafeteria are something to feel happy and grateful for, after all, already being alive is something to celebrate, maybe it seems like I'm a fool to think so, but when you are someone who has experienced the dark side of life and managed to get out of this you already have reason to thank, when we returned to the studio the paint had dried in most of what was needed, I chose the various shades of brown to start with the outline of the body, perhaps it is not a rule you just start from where you want, there are t

- You may think so, but I don't think the others will like to hear that. - I continued supporting my argument. - All right, then I'll propose something to you, and it's up to you to decide whether or not you accept. - He began. - And that would be? - I asked when I saw him pause to speak. - Why not do a test without too much commitment? If it works out you can consider my initial proposal, after all you can never be sure unless you try. - At that moment, my stomach made room for a hall of dancing butterflies. Draven was really convinced that it was indeed a good idea to start with that, and I didn't know how I really felt about it, I didn't know if I would be grateful that for the first time someone liked me, after all this never happened before, I never dated, never went on dates, never really held a man's hand other than to be thrown into some corner of the dark room, I never had a good relationship with people even if I did I still distrusted them deeply, I wasted a lot of time
