Ah dammit
"Muriel," The curly haired girl sighed heavily and turned towards the sound of her mother's voice. "Yes?" Her voice was a tad impatient. "Aren't you forgetting something?" The dull clunk of her wooden cane against the floor made Muriel roll her pale eyes. "I'm not taking that to school with me." She didn't have to see to know her mother was glaring. -
Abywyn kissed her father's cheek as she hurriedly grabbed the bag she kept homework in. "Good day, Father!" she said to him just before she felt a large and firm hand land on her shoulder.
"No breakfast?" Although he was a large and tough man, his voice was soft and concerned as he spoke to his only daughter.
The girl only laughed. "Oh, Father! You know I can't spare time." However, turning to see her father's worried frown, Abywyn sighed and grabbed an apple before waving goodbye and heading out the door. -
After a brief argument with her mother, Muriel was sent out the door, cane in hand and a frown on her face. As soon as she was out the door she tossed it off to the side, following the short and familiar path to school, keeping her eyes down and trying to conceal anything that might make it obvious that she couldn't see. She clutched her pack with her supplies in one hand as she walked along.
-
The red-head ran swiftly, taking bites of her apple along the way. Although school wasn't starting yet, Abywyn had a long walk. Remembering what time it was and what her average walk time was, she estimated she would be 10 minutes late. "Crud," muttered the girl beneath her breath. If she took the shortcut and ran, she would be 5 minutes early. Abywyn didn't want to be late.
Leaves crunching beneath her healed boots as she ran, the girl cut through a path in the woods. Soon, she was at the front steps of the crappy building they called a "school". -
Muriel nearly stumbled over a stone that had been inconveniently placed in the center of the path. She soon heard the sounds of talking children and knew she had arrived at the school. With a sigh she trodden towards the building, hoping to get in unnoticed.
-
Abywyn checked the clock and smiled with satisfaction. Apple still in hand, an began to walk down the hall. Suddenly, she saw a child place a stone in the path in front of a brunette girl. Oddly enough, the girl didn't stop. She walked right over it, almost stumbling. Abywyn raised both her eyebrows with a questioning "Hm?".
-
It wasn't long before Muriel felt two hands on her back, shoving her to the ground. She winced as she hit the ground and heard cruel laughter around her. She slowly stood up and kept walking, blinking back tears as she glared at the ground and entered the building.
-
Abywyn frowned when suddenly, her half-eaten apple rolling from her hand and down the hallway. She tried to chase after it, not watching where she was going.
-
Muriel let out a small cry as she ran right into someone, her legs tangling together as she fell again. She listened, but no laughter followed. Maybe it was an accident. "Sorry," She said quickly to whoever shelf bumped into.
-
Abywyn grunted as pushed herself up, a body laying on top of her. Hearing the girl's apology, Abywyn sighed. "It's fi--" She stopped short when she caught a glimpse of the girls pale blue eyes. It was the same girl from before, too. Was she...blind?
-
Muriel heard an obviously female voice start to accept her apology before abruptly stopping. "I-Is something wrong?" She asked, trying to look in the general direction of the voice while at the same time trying to climb off the poor girl she'd fallen on.
-
"Are you...." Abywyn decided to just come right out with it. "Are you blind?"
-
Muriel hesitated. She supposed it was obvious enough, no point in hiding it. She nodded. "I am. And I'm really sorry for running into you."
-
Abywyn quickly helped the girl up whilst getting up herself. "Oh no, it isn't your fault. Iwas the one who wasn't watching where I was going."
