(Wow. He goes shopping at a mall and chooses to shop for a toothbrush? Nice.)

(Yes he wants to stay fresh while he's kissing Dani.)
(……………………………….-__-)

Dani nodded, rubbing her arm self-consciously, the scars noticeable now that she wasn't wearing long sleeves.

Omg yess! Goodnight y'all!)
Zander saw the scars and took her hand, lightly pulling her closer to him." Do you want to go back to the flat?" He asked in a quiet tone.
"NO! No. I-I need a distraction." Dani told him. "I'm okay. Really."
"Okay, then let's hit up the arcade." Zander said, not quite sure if he believed her.
Dani gave Zander as big of a smile as she could muster. "Okay." She led him to the arcade, holding her hands together together them to stop shaking.
Zander followed her to the arcade, and was pleasantly surprised to see it was filled with both new and classic games. "Wow this place looks like a lot of fun." He said eyeing the Pac-Man machine.
When they got to the arcade, Dani paused. Slush. What do I do? It's been years since I was last here.
"Umm……………what do I do?" She voiced. "I haven't been to the arcade since I was ten."
Zander laughed lightly, "Okay, from my limited experience we're supposed to first go buy tokens, then we can go play the games."
"M'kay." She said absentmindedly, following him silently.
Zander paid for sixty tokens and split them between Dani and himself." Any games you want to try first?"
Dani gave him a small smile. "Pac-man is the only game I know how to play soo…………….." She walked over to the game and put her tokens in.
Zander walked over with her to the arcade and watched as she played Pac-Man.
It seemed to be going pretty well until a kid started screaming. Dani flinched noticeably.
Zander whirled around but only saw a little kid with his mom, crying over a stuffed animal. Then he turned back to Dani and said," I saw you flinch, are you sure you are okay?"
Dani nodded, but tears were already forming in her eyes. Seeing as this was one of the first times she had been out and not worried about something or someone since she had woken up from her coma two weeks ago……..Dani walked away from the machine and sat down at a table, hands shaking.
Zander followed her to the table and sat next to her, wrapping his arm around her comfortingly. "What's wrong? You can tell me."
Dani's whole body shook and accidentally opened her mind to Zander's so that he could see her memory.
Dani walked down the street in between her parents, laughing and talking happily. Then there was an explosion on the giant bridge in front of them. What happened next was kind of faint, all Dani could remember was her dad trying to hold up the bridge with his Superman-like powers as she stood frozen to her spot. Then her uncle came. Her dad couldn't hold up the bridge. He fell, dead before he hit the water. Like Falon. Then her uncle turned to her and her mother. He laughed. He gave them a speech of betrayal, then shot her mother in the heart, stabbing Dani. The memory went dark. That's what happened before the torture. Then she realized that Zander had seen it. "Zander–"
Zander stopped her by pulling her into a hug, a tear ran down his cheek for her. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. What could you say to help someone who had been through that?
Dani sobbed quietly. "That was just the beginning." She choked out, snippets of screaming and fire ringing through her.
(Hey I gotta go for tonight my computer's dying srry)
(AAAAAAAAwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww m'kay. But just be prepared to see the other bit of her torture when you get back.)
