Weepy Hollow

"Yeah, I know, I know it will happen eventually. No one deserves to be alone forever" she said, "and I'm sure as hell not going to be" she laughed, moving a little closer to him.
 
"I don't know, some people deserve to be alone. I mean... Come on. You seen some of those weird misogynists?" He laughs a little before sighing, "Tell me something else about you, you know, that you think nobody cares about but actually make you, you."
 
"oh god" she said laughing, "I forgot about them, yeah, they deserve to be alone hahaha" she then looked at him, it came to the point now where he wasn't just making conversation, he was actually interested, that was...strange, but nice. "ummm well, I'm 17 years old, and I still sleep with a nightlight" she laughed at how embarrassing it was.
 
"You sleep with a nightlight?" He laughs at her, a grin spreading across his face slowly. "Why? Is it because you're scared of something? I'm not making fun of you, i am actually interested."
 
She laughed. "I'm just really scared of the dark" she said, "Sometimes my mom comes in after I'm asleep and turns it off, just because" she laughed. "i know, it's stupid, but I can't help it"
 
"Well if you ever sleep at mine, I'll find you some fireflies and keep them in a jar or somethin'." He grins at her, trying to picture her being afraid of the dark. He wasn't afraid of anything.
 
"Nothing. Okay... Maybe.. One thing." He says, when something comes into his mind. "But you wouldn't understand, so there's no point trying to explain it." He smiles at her, shrugging his shoulders.
 
She squinted her eyes at him. "try me" she said. Maybe she wouldn't understand, but she wanted to know anyway she wasn't going to let up.
 
"Nah, nah. If I told you that there would be a whole lot more that Id have to tell you, and then you'll just think I'm crazy." He says seriously, thinking about it properly.
 
She didn't care. "Tell me" she said again. "please?" she asked nicely placing a sweet smile on her face. she once again, moved a little closer to him, looking at him with a sly look on her face.
 
"Your mouth says tell me but your body language says something completely different," he points out, trying to change the subject from himself.
 
"that's bullshit and you know it" she said. "I want to know" she said, looking him in the eyes. Maybe she could get him to be with her if she could get that secret out.
 
"Uh..." He widens his eyes a little and stutters, "you'll think I'm crazy and you'll hate me. I don't want that, so I'm basically just going to say that I'm scared of being found."
 
She stopped dead in her tracks. What did he means? Afraid of being found? By who? "umm.. are the police looking for you?" she asked
 
Tate laughs, a genuine laugh, and shakes his head, "no! The police aren't looking for me! I haven't killed anyone or anything like that, I'm not a criminal!" He grins at her, but the grin slowly fades. "Someone else are looking for me."
 
She sighed out pure relief when she heard that. "who is it?" she asked. "maybe I can help, I don't want you to go through this alone" she said, reaching out her hand
 
Tate takes her hand with the hand that wasn't tapping on his knee, and intertwines their fingers. "You won't be able to help, but I can tell you anyway, as long as you try not to think I'm crazy."
 
"Okay, well. Right. Er..." He didn't know what to say, he'd never explained this to anyone before. "I have this thing wrong with me, it's really rare but, basically my dad had this thing too, and he passed it on to me. He never told us about it, and now I'm like I am, with no one to teach me..." He says, trying to avoid saying what he was.
 
she looked at him super confused. "wait, what thing? And why is someone looking for you just because you have a thing?" she asked. "Is it a bad thing?"
 
"Well, this thing basically... Do you know what a sage is? Of course not. Er... Okay, I'm going to demonstrate something for you." He let's go of her hand and holds his palm up to show her something, and as she watches, he produces a white flower from thin air. "I'm not a freak."
 
She nodded as he held him palm out. At first, she was just staring but nothing was happening, and then just out of no where, there it was, a white flower, it was pretty. "is it real?" she asked, while reaching for it. "so, you're magic... why are people looking for you just because you're magic?"
 
"That's exactly why. Because I'm magic." He says and gives her the flower casually. "My people, gypsies, won't accept someone who is magic, so I have no home there. My other people, the sage, are looking for me. But my mother doesn't want to be away from me."
 
"Are the sage angry with you?" she asked. "like, do they want to hurt you or anything?" she worried. She didn't want anything to happen to him. She put the flower in her hair.
