Alas, the Gods failed to hear her pleas. Tears streamed from her eyes, not from the painshe could bear thatbut because the Gods had forsaken her again.... To die was her only wish. Get away from her! Alexia demanded. The children turned to see the auburn haired girl across the courtyard. Rage burned in her hazel eyes. Behind her back, she held the handle of the broom, the head of the weapon long since discarded. I wont tell you punks again! she warned. A second of hesitation and confusion spread. . She asked me what it was like?? I grinned and said the first thing that came to mind.. BIG. She smiled and said she'd always wondered what he was like.

If he does, he's going to be disappointed. We're going to keep this to ourselves and I'm asking you to do the same thing. You never know. He might get frustrated and try taunting us again if he.
