Tame Beast

I watched him for a few minutes and slouched in front of him holding up the doll, "Looking for something?"

----

Noah gave a long stare at the hanging doll above him and then at me. He hasn't blinked for quite some time, even with me tackling: blowing his eyes, waving in front of his face, calling him names which I wouldn't dare to say out loud.

Abruptly, he grabbed my hands, a grim smile appeared on his face, "Perfect." Spooked by his smile, I think my heart skipped a beat or two, not sure if his attractive face played a part in that.

Noah pulled me up and started walking out the campus, with us still holding hands. I tried to shake my hand off him, but he held it tighter.

"Umm, Noah. My hand, it hurts." trying to get him to loosen up. Gradually I start to panic "NOAH."

He flinched from the last call. We stop walking as he tries to gather his thoughts together. I saw this as a good opportunity to escape, but then he called my name, "..Emma, wait."

I couldn't make myself ignore him as he sounded so desperate and walk back to him, "Are you feeling okay?"

" I'm going to have to take some of your time. I need you to do something for me.", Noah insisted. After recalling his smile, I have a second thought about going anywhere with him. Attempting to escape again, "I...I have"

Before I could finish my sentence, he mentioned in a threatening tone, " You're the first person to call me a DADDY Reaper," and gave her an odd look, "What would happen if people hear about this?" Heh, I know deep down, he won't, but a 10% me convinced that he will.

"Where to? I have a curfew at 6. Okay?", seeking to see if he buys the lie.

"You will know once we get there.", he said while trying to get a cab.

After a half-hour drive, we arrived at our destination,... "XXXX Hospital?"

He lent his hand out to help me out of the cab when I declined the offer, he grabbed my hand again and headed inside the hospital.

My mind was not functioning properly as we gradually reached the hospital doors. My inner voice started to act up again, "Why is he bringing me here? HE GONNA SELL MY ORGANS?!! I have a WEAK HeARt."

"Mr. Smith, you came to visit your sister again?" a nurse asked warmly looking at our direction.

I glance behind us to see who she was talking to, "Yes, I am." (Noah Smith??) My confused face was noticed by the nurse.

"She has been waiting for you," said with a giggle.

While we walked to his sister's room, I curiously asked, "Your last name is Smith? I thought it was something cooler." And was ended up ignored again. Reaching room number 3412, he stood in front of the door and stared at me. Before opening those doors, he stated, "You're my friend." I was dumbfounded and lost control of my expression which reveal my thoughts, "We are? Do we need the nurse to check on you too?"

---

As he opened the door, I swiftly scanned the room before entering with him, and a petite, fair skin girl came to my view.

"Brother Noah is she the friend, you promise, Lily, to bring over to play?" claiming as her smile flattered my soul.

She is definitely the opposite of her brother. "Hello, I'm Emma your BROTHER's friends" putting a business smile for her and Noah.

As Noah got busy peeling apples from us, I and Lily somewhat clicked after a few conversations. Without realizing the time passing, we talked and played until it was time for her to take her medicine and sleep.

"Sister Emma, would you come again?" excitedly asking as she rests against her pillow. "Of course. Whenever... your brother allows. Good night now, Lilly. Sweet Dreams little one." "Good Night, Sister Emma."

---

We quietly left her room and began to leave. I glanced at Noah, repeatedly until he got annoyed and asked: "What?"

Clearing my throat I playfully said, "Would Brother Noah take Sister Emma home? Sister Emma is scared of the dark.~" Unaware of how cringy it actually is, we both froze near the exit door. I tried to laugh it off saying it was a joke and that he doesn't have it.

"I'll take you home, it's late."
