LINDEN BELL

do you feel like a man when you push her around, do you feel better now as she falls to the ground

Angelonia was beaming when he hugged her, and when she felt the tears on her neck she couldn’t help but bury her face in his neck, holding him even tighter as her own tears started to form but didn’t quite fall as she pulled back and looked at her brother who was older than her only by minutes, cupping his face as she looked him over. 

“Linden,” she beamed as she looked him over. “You are here, you are really truly here, how did you find me?” she continued to beam at the kiss to the forehead, and just gazed at her brother, who was one third of her being in awe, her eyes moving from his face to his neck quickly as a thought occurred to her. “You are a slave as well,” she commented softly, her fingers running over his collar. “I can tell you everything about how to survive here as a slave, it is not that bad!” she assured him quickly, getting several shhs from the librarian as she continued to speak at typical Angelonia volume, loud and fast. 

linden pressed his cheek deeper into her hand. it was so comforting to be this close to her again. a small smile tugged at one of the corners of his lips. the joy in her face had always been infectious to him. “ i had met with a friend of yours at a pawn shop. ” he said as he let out a small chuckle through his nose. “ you did not make it easy at all. ”

“ i did not have much time to think about it in all honesty when i arrived. ” his gaze shifted to one side as he spoke. his mind wondered slightly as his eyes began to become unfocused since he wasn’t looking at anything in particular. “ i do hope so since i do not know what i am doing in the slightest. ” he was very glad she seemed to be the same sister he had missed.

OPEN TO ANYONE

the breeze felt nice as linden stared off towards the horizon. it was peaceful. at least he thought so when he was alone. though he loved his sister, being surrounded by all of these new people was intimidating. that’s why he had to step away from the friend group and found himself sitting on the sand with the tide just coming to his toes. he was dressed in a loose, white shirt with his swim trunks underneath. 

he had debated going swimming. the water felt nice, and he had always wanted to be at the ocean like this. it was just strange to him. he began to think about too many things at once and the silence was deafening in an instant. he broke it himself. “ i wonder what it would be like to be in the middle of that expanse without land in sight. ” he said into the air almost as if he expected a fish to jump from the water to give him a response.

Angelonia liked the library, sure it seemed kind of silly to be working on her book when it was summertime and the sun was bight and sunny and there were flowers to pick, but she’d had a strike of inspiration and she was dying to get some work done, so here she was, working on the nutritional ideals for a human to be the best blood donor to a vampire when someone spoke to her. 

She was barely paying attention, her pink glittery pen with the feather pompom dancing over the paper she was writing when the person asked if the seat was taken before she paused, the voice was so familiar, but there was no way- Turning and looking up she couldn’t help the shriek that escaped her when she saw who was standing there, launching herself from her chair she wrapped her arms around his neck with a high pitched “Linden!” 

the shriek startled him slightly. he barely had enough time to look up before arms were wrapped around him and blonde hair flew into his face. a lump grew in his throat as he realized what was going on. he easily got emotional when it came to his family, so tears started to form in his eyes. he couldn’t believe it. he hugged her back putting all of his strength into it, as if she’d disappear if he let go. 

“ angelonia... i can’t believe it. ” his words were slightly quiet as he shifted in the hug slightly. he definitely was the more soft spoken of the two, but he was ecstatic to see her. he hoped she knew how much she meant to him in spite of him not being vocal. he began to pull away, but not before pressing a small kiss against his sister’s forehead.

the book was cold in his hand, but it was almost soothing. linden let out a small sigh as he flipped through a few of the pages. he knew this likely was going to be the best place for him to get some solitude. he hadn’t realized how cramped the quarters would be here. luckily he could come to the library to get a breath of air. 

he chewed on his lip lightly. it was stressing him that he still hadn’t found his sister. he looked at the pages of the book, but wasn’t reading the words. he kept distracting himself by overthinking about his situation. he pushed a sigh out of his nose as he moved to sit at a table. he didn’t bring his eyes up from the book as he spoke. “ is this seat taken? ”
