Doll was sitting at the lakeside, an almost-finished scarf in her hands. She peers at the water searchingly, speaking aloud. "I know what water is, but why does it like to gather in such large puddles?" she frowns and tilts her head. "And why does it reflect the sky? And it's so murky.." she leans forward to peer more closely at it.
"Why does it ripple?" she gasps as she sees her own reflection. She traces the stitches on her face with a frown. "Oh my." She leans back and looks over the water. It was a nice, sunny day; but clouds were rolling in from the sea. The clouds beat on drums in the distant, and Doll looks up. "What's that noise?" she questions, looking around. She, having not been alive for long, had never heard thunder.

Daniel walked thought the forest with the backpack on his back as always and a curious look on his young face. He liked to walk in the forest since it was calm and he could be alone there. Not that he minded to be in the school and Selia was really nice to him and she always did what she could to make him feel safe and happy. Daniel really started to like the girl more and more. He yanwed a little as he walked and stretched the arms over his head, now what should he do?

He stopped as he heard a voice close by and slowly searched the area with his eyes and he soon noticed Doll by the side of the lake. Daniel stopped and looked at her with unsure eyes, she looked like a grown up. He was still a little jumpy around people he did not know. He heard some of the things she said and what she said made him feel weird. She asked such weird questions? He then heard the sound in the distance and turned the eyes to look up and he saw the dark cloud moving towards the island. Daniel took a deep breath and then he walked out from the cover of the trees and towards the girl, he did not see that she was a doll as it was now. "Excuse me miss?" he asked with a soft voice.

Doll turns and smiles brightly. "Hello, little person!" she waves her stitched hand briefly, before starting to knit again. The woolly scarf was a dark blue color. "Why does this water reflect? Why does it gather in such a large puddle?" her sown face frowns. "And whats that beating noise in the distance? It's sounds like an irregular heartbeat."

((Sorry so short. @.@))

Little person? That was something new for Daniel to be called, he was used to things like brat and boy. But never little person. He watched the stranger as she waved at him and then returned to what she was doing. The little boy slowly walked closer to her and as he did her noticed the weirdness of her, the stitches and such. Her examined Doll for a moment and then he slowly sat down not far from her and he pulled up the legs close to himself, he watched the water for a moment and then he looked at her when she began to ask the questions....what weird things to ask?

He thought about them and tried to come up with some kind of reply, say as he was around 6 years old he did not know for sure. "I do not know why it reflect, but I belive there might be another world on the other side...like when you see yourself in the mirror someone else is looking back at you thought it." he explained slowly and with a thoughtful tune in his voice. "and the water gather here because the fishes has to live in something, that is what I think. I mean if there was no water here then the fishes would not have a home....right?" he smiled and looked at Doll when he said this. The last question made him shiver a little as he looked towards the dark clouds. "That is the sound of thunder, there will be a storm....with rain and lightnings and loud sounds...nothing I want to be out in." he sighed a little and calmly watched her as she was kniting. "That scarf looks pretty miss" he said with a childlike smile.

Doll looks questionably down into the water. "Err.. That's scary.." she stands and backs away. "And what's lightening? And thunder? And rain?" she questions, standing next to the boy and looking down at him. "And thank you.. I like to knit. It's calming." she nods slowly. "The noise is getting louder.. Can we make it go away?" she frowns, looking at the clouds, which were getting closer, and closer.

Doll jumps as a loud BOOM sounds from the thunder. She starts to shake. "Make it stop!" she cries, backing away.

Daniel was surprised when she asked so much, he looked up at her and tried to think of something he could say. Then he took a deep breath and frowned. Suddenly he heard the bang and turned the eyes towards the dark clouds, the storm was getting closer now. He turned his eyes towards Doll when she started to freak out and the little boy feelt so sorry for her. He stood up and walked closer to her. "We can not make it go away, it is a part of how the world works, thuner is these sounds, lightnings are like bright things coming from the sky and rain is water that falls from the clouds" he explained to her in the manner of a child, as he could not explaine much more then that.

Daniel slowly gave her a soft hug to comfort her, he knew that he always felt better then someone hugged him."I wish I could make it stop, but I can´t....but please do not be afraid...if you run away or something then I will be alone here in the forest. Please do not leave" he said this because she had started to walk away, he did not want her to leave him now...even if he did not know her Daniel was also afraid of thunder because he knew that it could do much damage.

Doll grabs his shoulder and starts pulling him along. She looks frightened. "We have to leave! It might hurt us!" she pulls him back into the trees. "Come on!" the first raindrops were starting to fall.

Daniel could not do much more then to run with her as she ran away into the forest. "We have to find cover...." he said and looked around as they ran, his eyes looked around and then he noticed something...it was a small cave like thing made from cliffs...he knew to be among the trees was not a good idea, and they did not keep them as dry. "Over there miss, there is a cave we can take cover in over there" he gestured that way as they ran. "I wont be able to run for to long" it started to hurt from his wounds around the body.

Doll ducks into the cave and sits, rubbing her arms. "What if it kills us?" she cries, wanting to cry, if she could even cry. And over a rainstorm and thunder. She starts to glow, focusing to push the darkness out of the cave.. "Are you alright?" she asked, and for once, she was out of questions. For now.

Daniel toake a deep breath as they arrived to the cave and it takes him a moment to say anything because of the ppain att he side of his chest. Then he smiled a little at her, it was a weak smile but a friendly one. "No it will not kill us" he said with a slow voice and then he took another breath. He looked at her when she asked the question. "Yeah I´m okey....it just hurts from my wounds" he said with a low voice, he took of the backpack and placed it on the floor of the cavern. "By the way, my name is Daniel, what is your name miss?" he smiled at her and then he thought of something that might help her think of something else...well help both of them. "and....you think you could teach me to knit? I would really like to know how to do that, then I could also make myself something nice."
