Chapter 31: Touch
Was that a yes or no? That wasn’t an answer, that was still leaving me in the dark. William remained in that position and like the other times it didn’t feel uncomfortable, I was just okay with it, strangely enough, his aura wasn’t scary right now... it was just soothing? Even though it was dark it was filled with unusual warmth. Ever since Mrs. Potter, I have always thought dark aura belongs to death. That was why the first time I met William I believed he was Death himself, but that didn’t seem to be the case, it was different, HE was different.
It was strange for me but I just let myself give in to the feelings of this unusual comfort from him even though he wasn’t showing any, with his words and everything he remained like a blank emotionless being... I was nervous though because I can’t tell what expression he was making right now and the mask he had on was like a wall between us.
"Why do you wear a mask?"
He leaned away. "Why does everything that comes out of your mouth be a question?"
I wasn’t given much choice, I was randomly thrown into a world I had no idea existed, and I was bound to be curious about everything.
"Now about your punishment"
I suddenly tensed and my heartbeat began pounding again. Does he want to talk about that now?
"You honestly think you would be able to finish that number of books in a month?"
Now I felt like a kid being scolded because of the wrong thing. Did I do the wrong thing?
