“I don't know..I mean I like you back! But I'm scared, I-I've never been in a relationship. You have..” Rai looked down, she wasn't wrong. Elaine had been in many relationships. “Well, if it doesn't work out I can promise we'll still be friends.” And that was something Elaine would put her life on. “Promise?” Rai looked up, “promise.” Elaine answered simply. What she wasn't expecting was for Rai to practically jump on her for a hug. “Then yes! I mean- it was a question right? If not then I love you too!” She dug her face into her friend's neck. Elaine hugged her tightly in return, giggling with so much joy. The two sat like that for a while. “But wait, are you gonna tell your dad? Should I tell my uncle?” Rai pondered, she knew her uncle had a husband, but she was still scared of what he might think. Elaine just shrugged, “doesn't matter to me. I know my dad won't care, well, I mean he won't care I'm dating you. He'll be happy.” “I know- I just get nervous..you know?” Rai didn't know how to express emotions very well. If she told her uncle she would probably start crying. “You don't have to tell him. Or you could just wait.” Elaine suggested, “or, I write a letter!” Rai smiled, Elaine smiled exactly what she was talking about. Whenever she felt too scared or too emotional to tell someone something she wrote it out and gave it to them. She would walk away and let them read it alone.

Elaine nodded, “that's a great idea! I mean, it's what you've always done anyway.” She shrugged. Rai chuckled, “I get scared, if I end up talking to them I start crying. Then they feel bad and it doesn't go anywhere.” “No no I get your reasoning! Makes sense to me.” “Should I send a text now? Or write a letter and give it to them later?” Elaine thought for a moment, “I mean, it's really up to you. I'd send a text right now but-” before she could finish her sentence Rai pulled out her phone and started to write a message. Elaine sighed, shaking her head slightly. The two sat in silence as Rai typed the paragraph. After a few minutes she showed Elaine what it said. Elaine took the phone and began to read, when she finished she gave it back and gave her a thumbs up. “It's really mature. I mean, I can't even write like that.” Rai stared at the phone for a moment, then hit send. As soon as it was sent she sat it down on a nearby desk. “I'll look at the response later. Come on, I think I'm good enough to continue walking.” The two then left Elaine's room, dropping off the now empty bowl in the sink.

They walked until dark, they talked and laughed the entire time. Rai even bought some snow cones for them! While they were walking Rai began to complain about someone in their band. “I don't understand. She has a shower, she has a washer, why not use them?!” She groaned in frustration. “You don't understand how bad it is to be next to her while marching AND while just sitting down playing! She's a senior and she can't even play her damn instrument properly-” she stopped when the two kids she babysits run up, they were yelling. Their yelling caused Elaine to drop her snow cone. “Miss Rai! Miss Rai!” The two cried, “are you going to watch us tomorrow?” The one in the skeleton costume asked, “We want to color!” The one in the Pumpkin costume started after. Rai froze, she looked down at Elaine, who was staring at the snowcone she dropped. “I..I'm sorry guys. But I'm busy tomorrow.” She felt bad for lying, but she wanted to spend time with her lover. The two kids became incredibly sad, causing Rai to cave. “Well..maybe I can find the time to-” “YAYY!” The two kids cheered before running off, almost knocking her down. Elaine sighed, “you need to get better at telling people no.” Rai gave her a look, “You're one to talk.” She mumbled, handing over her snowcone for Elaime to have.

Storm in a field of flowers. Pt.7 previous part---next part

After about twenty minutes of walking they made it to Rai’s house. “Did your dad ever answer..?” Rai questioned, Elaine had to think for a minute before remembering she had to ask her dad. She quickly pulled out her phone and looked, she smiled widely as she looked at the message. “He said yes!” Elaine exclaimed as she stepped inside with Rai. At this point Rai had refused to let her help with walking anymore. Elaine was worried about her nonetheless, she thought it might be worse than they thought considering Rai was limping. Yet she continued to limp around the house, leading Elaine to her room. Even if she already knew where it was. When she stepped in she was greeted by her cat laying on her bed. The cat stood up and just meowed, happy to see her. She walked up to her bed and picked him up. “Oh quit yelling.. Are you hungry?” She set him down and went to her dresser, grabbing a bag of treats from inside. She looked up at Elaine, who was already looking at her. She gave her a look, and Elaine nodded as a response. Rai tossed the bag and the cats attention was now on Elaine as she held the bag of treats. The cat ran to the other side of the bed and tried to crawl on Elaine. She struggled to get the bag open for a moment, but when she had it she tossed a treat to the middle of the bed. The cat quickly ran to the area and sniffed around to find it. She was about to throw the bag back but Rai shook her head, “Put it in the side table drawer. I’ve gotta move it so he doesn’t find it.” She explained, Elaine nodded and did as told before sitting down on a bean bag Rai had in her room.

Rai then jumped on her bed, grabbing the cat and forcing him to stay close. He seemed annoyed but he didn’t try to move or anything. She began to just talk to him like he was a person, Elaine thought this was adorable. “Oh wait- we should probably eat.” Rai realized, Elaine nodded in agreement. Rai put the cat down and got off the bed, helping Elaine get up from the bean bag chair. When they left the room the cat followed, he made it to the kitchen mch faster than them. He jumped on the container with his food and started meowing again. Rai sighed, “How many times to i need to tell you? I can’t feed you if you’re on the food bucket..” She mumbled to herself as she picked him up and dropped him to the floor, opening the container before he could jump on it again. She used the scoup to put some food in his bowl, then took his other bowl and got him some water. Elaine was just looking around aimlessly during all this. When Rai finished she began to walk around the kitchen to find something to eat, grabbing Elaines attentions. “Okay..we have some spaghetti left overs..Some frozen stuff I can put in the microwave…or we have stuff to make sandwiches.” Rai listed, counting on her fingers. She looked up at when she finished listing them off. Elaine knew Rai would make her pick, Rai didn’t like taking the first option or making the first decision. She would rather have others happy, she’d take whats left. “What about that left over spaghetti? That sounds pretty good.” Rai nodded and grabbed some things out of the fridge. The plain noodles, the sauce, and parmesan. She then went to grab two bowls for them, Elaine opened the containers during this. “Plain noodles? Why not just make it with the sauce?” She was confused, Rai came back with the bowls soon enough though. “Oh, my uncles make it that way because my brother doesn’t like the sauce.” “Which one?” Rai shrugged, “I forget, they’re equally picky when it comes to food. Me? I don’t care much, it isn’t that important to me.” She explained as she put some of the spaghetti and sauce in a bowl before going to put it in the microwave. As she pressed the buttons to start it Elaine had put some food in her own bowl. “Well you have to have some standards. Aren’t there foods you don’t like?” She asked without looking, still focused on the task at hand. “I mean..i don’t like poptarts very much. They’re too sweet- makes me want to throw up.” Rai had gone to get cups, “Anyways- what do you want to drink? We’ve got tea, soda, water..” She had begun to make herself a cup of tea. “I don’t like tea, you know that! It’s just leafy water.” Elaine complained, Rai just shrugged as a response. “Still an option if you want it.” “Hmm..what kinds of soda?” Elained asked, moving to look inside the fridge. Rai had gone to grab her bowl out of the microwave, putting Elaines bowl in to warm it up. Elaine had grabbed a can of soda she liked, she put some ice in her cup before pouring the can into the cup. She took the tab off and set it on the counter. Rai had grabbed it and put it in her pocket. The two silently worked beside each other.

Eventually they were both sitting at the table with thier food and drinks. They talked and talked while they ate. They talked about any and every subject, Elaine was just happy that Rai was feeling better. “Ugh..I feel sick from this stuff.” Rai complained as she shoved the bowl away. “Well, did you take your medicine?” Elaine asked, “Yes? Why wouldn’t I? I’m supposed to take them twice a day.” Rai was genuinely confused, she knew nausea was one of the side effects, but it seemed to happen every time. “That’s your problem. I would know, I used to be on it. It does something that makes you less hungry.” Elaine explained, Rai just groaend. “It’s stupid regardless. I am hungry, but now i feel sick.” Elaine shrugged and continued to eat, Rai had finished her tea and began to eat the ice. “I don’t know how you can do that, i’ve gto sensitive teeth.” Elaine stated, Rai just glared almost. “Uhm..it’s good? Plus it’s better than gaining unnecessary weight.” Elaine knew that wasn’t the reason, she remembered her talking about it. Back when she still lived with her father he wouln’t let her eat some nights. So she’d ask for a glass of water, luckily he was nice enough to give her ice. She had it as a meal for so many nights it was a shock she hadn’t died. Elaine had to sit for a minute after thinking about that. She didn’t want to think about it. Luckily Rai wasn’t thinking about it too much. The two continued to talk until the front door opened. “When did you get home?!” A familiar voice yelled, causing the two to look back at the door. Rai groaned in frustration.

“WHAT?! Why do I have to walk up the hill?” Rai complained. “It was your idea and my legs hurt. If he has candy, yell down and I'll meet you. If not, you can roll down the hill or something.” Elaine stated sarcastically. “Are you saying that because I'm fat?!” Rai jokingly accused. “Yup!” Elaine answered. Holding back laughter. Rai rolled her eyes and began to walk up the hill. She had put her earbuds in. It was only a three minute walk, but she liked the music. When she got up to the church she took them out. She hesitantly knocked on the door. Fixing the sleeves to her costume as she waited. Humming a song. The door swung open. A man was holding a pot of boiling water. He looked like he was about to throw it at her, but stopped. She was noticeably younger than other trick or treaters. “What are you doing here? You should be at a house party.” He assumed. “So sorry to bother, my friend was curious and wanted to know if you were giving out candy?” Her nervousness made him put down the pot slowly. “I'm not. I refuse to participate in the devil's holiday.” He turned his head. “Oh, my apologies then. I'll leave you be-” she stopped, jumping when she heard Elaine yelling at her from the bottom of the hill. He looked annoyed. “Your friend I assume?” “Yes, sorry about her.” Rai answered. She sounded extremely awkward. He almost felt pity.

She then turned around and began to say goodbye, but he stopped her. “Wait, I have a question. Why are you out? Normally kids your age are drinking and smoking at a house party.” She slowly turned back around. “Oh no no..i can't. Me and my friend would rather goof off and dress up. I don't care about the candy that much. I just like hanging out with her.” the man nodded and held out a hand. “I'm new in town. I'm the priest of the church. My name is Father Gregor.” She very hesitantly shook his hand. “I'm Raelynn. Normally people call me Rai.” She introduced me. “My friend down there is Elaine. Sometimes I call her Ei.” “Ei? Like the letter? That's..odd.” he asked himself. “I just wanted a nickname for her. I don't call her that often though..” she giggled at the thought. “Will I be seeing you at church ever?” He asked. Almost hoping to see her. “Probably not. I mean, my family believes I think? I'm not sure..it's a little confusing.” She sounded embarrassed. “I see. Well it isn't for everyone. I'm not disappointed in you or anything if that's what you're thinking.” He could see the nervousness on her face. She now had a wide smile. Then she said her goodbyes and left. Yelling at her friend down the hill. He watched her as she walked. Almost watching her to make sure she was safe.

When Rai made it back down the hill Elaine stared with her arms crossed. “What took so long?” Rai still had her smile, “Oh! The guy that was up there-” “Did he have candy?” Elaine interrupted. Rai gave her a look and just stared quietly for a moment. “No..he didn't. He's a priest I guess. Doesn't celebrate.” Rai answered as she put her earbuds back in the case and in her pocket. “I think he wanted to throw boiling water on me..but besides that he was chill.” She shrugged and began to walk, Elaine following. “A priest? Ew, what'd he talk about? Did he want you to come by?” She sounded extremely suspicious. “He just kinda talked, I'll be honest I forgot most of it. I think he said something about me coming by..but I don't know. Sundays are supposed to be my day off from band and everything. Oh! And his name is Gregor.” Rai didn't complain, she didn't even talk bad about him. Elaine didn't like it, she didn't trust him. “Gregor? That's stupid.” She rolled her eyes. “Well, he didn't like your name either.” “he WHAT?!” Rai started laughing at her friend's reaction. The two continued their conversation as they walked, Elaine being incredibly loud while Rai told her to be quiet.

The two continued their walk deep into the night. “I don't understand, why do you go to church? You're not religious.” Elaine questioned, Rai just shrugged in response. “I dunno. It's fun?” It wasn't fun. Elaine knew that, she had been before. “No it isn't- wait..is it the priest?” She sounded mad, Rai feared that. “Gregor? What's wrong with him?” Rai tried avoiding the question, but Elaine wasn't letting that happen. Elaine stopped walking, now she stood with her hands on her hips and stared at Rai. “Railyn, what is he doing to you? Is he hurting you? You have to tell me!” “He isn't doing anything to me, he's nice Ei he isn't a bad guy!” “How do you know? He could be horrible! He could be pretending!” Rai was becoming incredibly fearful by now. Scared something might come between them. “Ei I trust him, isn't that good enough?” “No it isn't! I want an actual reason for why you care so much-” “Because he cares about me!” Rai yelled, she never yelled. At least not at Elaine. “He cares about me! More than my dad did..you know what he did to me- I told you what he did! Not many people know because I don't trust them! But he knows, he knows because I told him- because I trust him- because-” Rai stopped, tears fell out her eyes. She crossed her arms and looked down. “Nevermind.” She mumbled, Elaine felt a little bad now. The two sat in silence before the two kids walked up again, but with the priest this time. “We are sorry Miss Rai..” they said in unison, she quickly dried her tears and crouched down to talk to them. “Sorry for what? You didn't do anything.” “We were bothering you, it was mean of us..” the one in the skeleton costume said. “We should've left you alone..you don't have to watch us-” she quickly cut off the other kid. “Nonsense! I don't mind watching you two. It's the best part of my day. The two got all giddy, until the priest stopped in. “No, they need to learn. It may be fun watching them, but it's also fun to have some alone time.” She stood up to face him. She had a small smile, which he gladly returned. Elaine only glared with suspicion at him. “Come now children, we still have more people to apologize to.” He called to the two younger kids, they nodded and started walking. She was shocked that they weren't running like normal. The priest put a hand on Rai's shoulder, they exchanged a small smile before he walked off. Rai and Elaine hadn't said a word to each other.

The two girls are still out walking late, they haven't said much to each other. Rai is trying not to cry while she comes up with a way to apologize. Elaine isn't thinking at all, she's just walking. “I-i'm sorry..for yelling earlier I mean..it was stupid of me..you were only thinking the best- and I- I was being stupid-” Rai tried to apologize, but she just ended up crying. Elaine stopped and looked down, she panicked. Rai had never cried in front of her before. “Hey- hey wait- I..uhm..do you want a hug?” Elaine wasn't sure what to do, but Rai nodded slowly while trying to wipe away her tears. Causing Elaine to slowly and awkwardly wrap her arms around her. Rai held her close and put a head on her shoulder. She wouldn't stop apologizing for, well she was apologizing for everything at this point. Elaine continued to try and tell her not to apologize, but she just felt horrible. Eventually all that was left was sniffles from Rai. “Are you feeling better?” Elaine asked, Rai nodded in response. Her face still dug in Elaine's shoulder. Elaine would think for a couple of minutes, then get an idea.

“Hey, why don't we post something about how cool it is to be outside late at night?” Rai lifted her head, she looked incredibly confused. “What do you mean? Everyone goes around at night.” “Well, just for fun. Plus it'd be nice to have you in my camera roll more.” Elaine giggled as Rai took herself off of her as her face turned bright red. “I..uhm..sure..but it has to be on your phone. My camera sucks.” Elaine quickly pulled out her phone and started recording. “Hold on..oh! Got it!” She pointed the camera towards Rai. Rai just covered her face, Elaine giggled. “Come on! No one will see it. Promise.” After a moment, Rai took her hands off her face. She walked around to be next to Elaine, the camera moved to be on both of them. Elaine kissed Rai's cheek, making her giggle. The two then talked about their night to the camera. They talked for about fifteen minutes before Elaine saw something in front of them. “.hold on..what's that thing?” She flipped the camera, a red blob showed up. It became bigger and more clear the closer it got to the camera. It looked like some kind of demon. Elaine quickly tried to run, but Rai stayed in place. Frozen in fear as the demon ran closer, Elaine yelled for her to get out of the way, but she didn't move. The demon ran up and jumped on Rai, the camera couldn't catch that part. The camera started working again soon after though, Rai looked around like she was looking for something. She now had horns, sharp teeth, and orange eyes. Elaine yelled in fear and just continued to record the phenomen, she didn't know what else to do. Until the two kids and the priest showed up again. The kids run up and go in front of Rai, almost defending her from the priest. Something Elaine could agree with those two for one. The priest runs up and yells, the camera couldn't capture it properly. Elaine started yelling in confusion, “what's going on?!” “Quiet! get- OUT OF THIS BODY MOLOCH!” He yelled before throwing water on Rai. She screamed and threw up some kind of goo. She laid on the sidewalk as the goo would slither away, slowly morphing back into the demon. She stopped recording as she ran up to Rai. Holding her as they ran off. “WHAT DID YOU DO?!” She yelled at the priest in horror as she held her lover.
