"Wolfy!" Shojo came running into my cave.
I walked out of my room, holding Ichigo. the wolf cub with red eyes like mine, in my arms. "Shojo? What's wrong?"
"Chase...he proposed!" She said, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"That's a bad thing?"
"No..." She waited. "Yes!"
I looked at her, confused.
She sat down at the table, "I said 'No.'"
I sat in the chair beside hers. "What? Why? You said you loved him."
She shook her head. "I had to!"
"Why?"
She looked at me, got up, walked to her room, and came back with a photo. I looked at the photo. A girl with long blonde hair, red tips, and silver-ish eyes was centered in the photo. On her right side, was a teenaged girl that looked just as the girl centered in the photo only blue tips, and a tall woman with bleach blonde hair, and greenish greyish eyes . On her left side was a teenaged boy that looked just like the teenage girl, same age, same eyes, his brownish blondish hair to his shoulders and a man with silky short brown hair, with grey eyes.
"This is my family." She said, sitting down in her chair again. She pointed to the girl in the center of the picture. "That was me, before I was gone." She pointed to the teenage girl. "My sister Samantha." She pointed to the man and woman. "My mother and father." She let out a shakey sigh and pointed to the teenage boy. "And that is my brother, Samuel." Tears began rolling down her cheeks again, and then I knew.
"You were attatched to your brother weren't you?" I asked her.
She nodded and wiped her tears. "We were the best of friends. Samuel and Samantha always did things with me. But I was emotionally attatched to my brother. He taught me and did so much for me."
I looked at the photo. "What happened?"
Shojo closed her eyes. "Well..In my home in Italy, one day, my father woke everyone up, and told us to gather our things. Things we held dear to us and things we would need. So we did. Apparently someone wanted to invade our town, so we had to leave immediatly. As we ran down the street, me being the youngest, I was a bit slow. I yelled for my family to slow down, but they only sped up. As we were crossing a street, I dropped a necklace my brother had given me. When I picked up, a car knocked me into a building. Five men piled out of the car and began beating me. And I blacked out."
"Then you woke up in Halloween Town." I inferred. She hadn't told me about her family or how she even ended up here til now.
More tears came to her eyes. "I couldn't say yes to Chase because I would just be replacing my family!" She cried. "I don't want to lose him too..."
I knew Shojo cared for Chase alot. She just didn't want to lose him like she lost her family. It finally made sense.
I stood and walked to my room, holding Ichigo. I layed him in his basket next to Kira. Then I heard a loud noise and yelling coming from the other room. I hurried back and found Chase standing in front of Shojo, holding a whiskey bottle.
"Chase...Were you drinking?" I asked.
Chase was my see-able though. 'Assigned to watch over me' is what he said. He knew what I thought and what I felt. He was a couple years older than me but simetimes (most of the time actually) had the personality of a playful 7 year old. He had dark long hair and green eyes. He was usually a clown, but when it came to his love, he didn't play at all.
"Stay out of it, Wolfy." He snapped.
"Chase," Shojo pleaded. "Please understand that I had to say 'No.' I'm not doing this because I don't love you!"
"If you loved me you would have said yes!" He stumbled across the room. "Why?!"
Shojo's tears continued to fall. "Chase, it's complicated! Please, you have to believe me!" She cried.
Chase shook his head. "How can I believe someone who broke my heart for her own selfish reasons, and then not tell me what they are!?!" He threw the bottle to the wall, and walked out.
Shojo dropped to her knees crying.
