I'm Just Lonely...Not Like Anyone Cares.

[Silent Dove]

In a little golden cage,
I am locked away,
A delicate songbird,
Cursed to stay,

I need to be free,
I have wings,
But broken wings,
Harmed by diamond rings,

No matter what I do,
Even if I cry,
He doesn't want to let me go,
Even if I die,

I'm so sad,
I'm so alone,
This young lonely artist,
Just wants to go home.

The words written on the small piece of white paper fit her strongly. The words were written in pencil, in case she did happen to change anything on it. However, she doubt that she would do that at all on this piece of poetry. It was, like any other thing she created, channeled through her emotions. True, her emotions were all based around one certain feeling, but her vocabulary gave somewhat of a variety to her work. Plus she did not give a care if anyone liked her work or not. No one ever bothered to read them, and she did not think anyone would.

She jumped down from the fire escape ladder. There was a clinging and clanging sound as the metallic bars rustled together. The brunette did not live in any of those apartment areas, but she had been hanging on the roof of the apartment. Usually heights made her slightly squirmish, but she was in one of those "I-don't-care" moods.

Once on solid ground, the sixteen-year-old looked around the alley way. There was no one. But there was never anyone there, not when she was around. Nah, she was always alone. No matter where she went she would always be alone. That was what he told her anyway, her current "guardian". Thinking of him in that term made the teen want to throw up.

Sighing to herself, she started walking down the alley.

'Alone...'

'What else is new?'

Rin was skiping down the side walk following her best friend Howard. She looked into the ally way and saw the girl who had just landed from the fire escape. "Howard theres someone there" She said looking at the girl. Howard stoped as his ciggrette hung in his mouth. He titled his head to look at her and grunted. "Your point is runt" He said in his usual annoyed attiude. "My point is that we should talk to her maybe she could be my friend to" Rin said as she skiped over towads the girl. "Hi there my names Rin who are you." Rin said. Howard growled a bit as he followed her. His red eyes glare at everything not letting his guard down just incase he was attacked.

Honestly, she did not at all notice the other two until the little girl can skipping up to her. Layla was a bit surprised at first when she saw how open this child was. There was slight confusion showing on Layla's face. She switched her expression to a much more friendly one and smiled. "Nice to meet you Rin, I'm Layla."She said to the younger girl. Rin could not have been older then about 10 or 11 really.

Layla then noticed the other boy. She also happened to notice the rather dark glare he was sending in her direction. "You have a problem with something?"Layla somewhat blurted out at him. Yeah, Layla probably should not have even thought about it, but she ended up saying it anyway. Why? Probably because she did not like being glared at.

"dont mind him he's always like that" Rin said with a smile. Howard glared at Rin wishing he could hit her right in the head but resited. "His names Howard he's a dragon shifter" Rin said. howard punched the little girl on top of the head and growled. "do you have to tell everyone we meet runt" he said angerly. Rin just laughed. "Why the hell are you in a ally way alone kid" Howard said as he glared around the ally just hopeing for someone to pop out and dare to attack him or the other two.

Layla riased a thin, dark eyebrow at what Rin said. 'Dragon shifter? But those things don't really exist....She's probably talking about some sort of role playing game...'Layla thought to herself. She guessed that must have been it. Plus Rin was 10..maybe she liked to play pretend and Howard was like a big brother or something.

Layla shrugged at Howard's next question. "I just am. And call me 'kid' again, you'll so get a kick in the nuts. I'm not the one who hasn't hit puberty yet."She said. OK, so Layla was not pushing it. Maybe it was just bugging her at how much this Howard guy kept glaring.

((OOC: Please don't take any bad comments my charries make personal.))

Howard was about to transform right then and there but Rin stoped him with the innicont smile she always gave him. "No fare" he mumbled to him self. "do wanna be my friend" Rin asked the girl as she smiled at her. Howard grumbled a bit as he waited for her response

[Silent Dove]

Layla shrugged, smiling at Rin. "Sure."She said to her. Rin seemed a bit on the innocent and sweet side, but then again she was young and untainted. 'Lucky.'Layla could not help but think to herself. She wished she had remained innocent for a long time. There is not really such a thing as forever...in a way at least.

Rin jumped with joy as she hugged the girl. "calm down runt" Howard said a bit annoyed with Rin being more active then usual if that was possible
