One on one, the plot is difficult to explain but it's going to be awesome.... I hope.... I'm lonely.... send help..... (CLOSED)

"Yeah, um….. yeah." he stuttered, blushing.

"Are you ok? You looking a bit flushed." Erica was genuinely concerned.

"I'm fine." he said.

"You sure?" She presses a palm to his forehead, trying to check his temperature. (Is he dead? Does he even have a temperature?)

(He isn't dead, he is perfectly alive, and yeah he does have a temperature. Not a sick temperature, a normal one!)

(I know but Erica doesnt know that. All she is seeing is that he is flushed XD

"I'm fine."

"Then why are you bright red?"

"It's nothing." he said, embarrassed.

"Uh… Ok?" She draws her hand back from his forehead and opens her own Biography.

"Anything interesting in there? It's in ethereal runes, you don't read them." he said.

"Whaat?" She narrows her eyes at the script

"Yeah, it's like Braille. You touch the runes and you feel what happened. Memories." he explained.

She looks over at him with a raised brow

"You just touch the page. Like this." he said, brushing a hand over the page and seeing….. (what should he see?)

(An embarrassing moment? XD Or something dramatic?)
Under his palm a swirling mass of shapes start to move around. It started to form Erica when she was younger

(Dramatic, depressing, embarrassing, you choose.) This is one of her childhood memories then. Gabriel thought.

(Wasnt she like the odds one out? If not Ill re-write this)
Erica's eyes widen as her child self looks around her then down at the ground. There are indistenct shouts and laughter. Her younger self looks up to see a group of kids running toward her. The stopped infront of her. Their voices all garble together but her younger self had started to cry.
One of the boys of the group walks forward and pushes her to the ground. The others laugh as the younger Erica gets to her feet just to be tripped again.
The present day Erica was watching with unnaturally large eyes.

"I'm so sorry." Gabriel whispered.

Erica slams the book shut, breathing heavilly and looking down, "No. No its not your fault."

*Heavily

"That was…. I shouldn't have….. I'm sorry."

"Stop saying sorry, Greenie. Your fine!" She smiles at him and claps his shoulder

Gabe blushed again. "It wasn't… I shouldn't have seen…. it's not fine!" he said, a little louder than he should have.

Erica flinches slightly but sighs with smirk. She put her his shoulder, "Look. That was in the past. Leave the past in the past. Come on now. Didn't you want to show me around?"

"Yeah, let's go." Gabriel whispered.

erica looks around and stands straight. She grabs Gabe's shoulders and walks him away from the table.

"Um….."

"Come on." She barks, pushing him toward the door, "We can come back later."

"Yeah, so…. do you want to see the beehives? Beekeeping is one of Father's hobbies." Gabe mumbled.
