Brooklyn

*stay out of sight in the forest planing her next move, she lunges at you with her dagger* I got you now shapeshifter!

*I turn to her with a surprised look:* Ok. Now what?

*hesitates, dagger still pointed* Wait… *narrow eyes* You’re… human? But you moved too fast. *steps back* What are you really?

Yes. Damn fast. *I kiss her cheek softly.*

*freezes, face burning* Stop that!

Ok. I won't do it again. I just wanted to illustrate the fact you can't win against me.

*looks down at her empty hands* You could've killed me easily. *voice softens* Why didn't you?

You'll laugh.

*crosses arms* Try me.

*I smile at her warmly:* What's your name, birdie?

Brooklyn. *blushes at nickname*

Brooklyn. Nice. I'm Matthaeus, but for quite a while, people call me Matthew, or just Matt.

*pulls hand back, heart racing* I... *looks away* Why are you being so kind to me? I tried to kill you.

Because you're polite and open-minded.

*stands up abruptly* I should go.

Your place?

No! *blushes* I mean... my parents... *fidgets* Your place?

Ok. I'll pick you up.

*laughs despite herself* Don't forget the widow's peak! *grins* Seriously though, just ring the doorbell.

Yes, ma'am!

Goodbye, Matthaeus. *waves shyly*
