Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 264 - Pole
...***...
Time pass. The clock on his left wrist had shown at twelve noon.
Elvina has done quite a lot with Leon, from visiting the cinema to watching a movie together, to visiting a playground that happens to be just a short distance away, and spend their time trying to be faithful to the game that is there.
The awkward feeling that originally enveloped them now no longer even existed. Elvina has begun to get used to being near Leon, talking about many things informally without any restrictions like superiors and subordinates like in the office.
Leon is happy because finally Elvina can get used to him, besides that what makes him even more happy is because he can finally know more things about Elvina.
The thing that makes Leon more interested in Elvina is that the woman turns out to be a more pleasant person than he knows. Elvina turns out to be a person who is cool in being invited to have fun, she knows how to blend in with the environment and knows how to make small things that seem ordinary into something extraordinary. A unique woman, and she likes it.
"That was really fun." Elvina smiled happily. The last game they just finished.
"You're right, I enjoyed it a lot too." Leon smiled back to see the woman he loved seemed very happy with the various games they had tried.
Turns out, Leon wasn't as bad as I thought. She was fun enough to have fun with, Elvina thought. The woman turned to look at the man who was now walking beside her.
Leon smile. Both eyes narrowed when the row of white teeth seemed to adorn his smile.
He is more handsome when he smiles like this. If not this is the first time I've seen him smile after this near me. Usually he puts on a shitty look that always irritates me. Elvina smelled a smile.
Joe.. He's gotta be around here! He must know that I'm here and he'll try to catch me. I have to be vigilant, and don't let him hurt everyone in this place. Especially Leon, Inner Elvina. He circulated his gaze when he realized that Joe had given a sign of his arrival.
Bzzz!
Joe snatched one of the poles near them until it split and spontaneously tilted in the direction where Elvina and Leon were.
Elvina looked up and found a pole near those who were leaning towards them, hurriedly pushing Leon's body to the ground.
Brakk!
The pole fell on the ground. Elvina hurried to wake up. Look in the direction the attack came from, and he can see Joe's figure there.
Why did he have to come at such an inopportune time? If Leon comes to his senses later, he will be confused to see me hurt as I have been, Elvina's mind. He glanced at Leon who was not moving at all. The man froze like a statue now lying on the ground.
"It's like you're always on the lookout, that's why you're so easy to dodge every single one of my attacks." Joe walked closer to him.
