Re: Apple Inn[Safe Haven]
As night fell, almost everyone in the hotel soon found the need for sleep, as they all retreated to their rooms...
A waning moon was in the sky, suggesting that a full moon was coming soon. David stared at that moon, it somehow brought comfort to him as he reminisced through his memories. Each memory only served to hurt him more, but he felt he needed to remind himself in order to keep going, in order to keep fighting, in order to keep believing in something he thought was impossible.
David gave a start, as he was brought out of his thoughts when someone came walking through the rooftop door.
The maid, her white hair shining bright in the moonlight, walked up to the rooftop, with the obvious intention on seeing David.
David looked away, turning his back on her, "What do you want?" he asked with hostility.
The woman took some steps towards David, "I finally managed to get her to sleep. We're the only ones awake now... We could have the night to ourselves..."
David scoffed at her, focusing on aiming over the building in an attempt to ignore her, "Well, good for you," he said coldly.
She sighed, taking some steps across the rooftop before asking, "Why do you still hold a grudge against us? It wasn't our fault-"
David interrupted her, "Whether or not you intended it to happen is irrelevant, it was your fault, and I'll always hold you accountable, until the last breath in my body fades away." he stated, still gazing at the moon.
The woman started taking steps toward David, "I don't care if you forgive me, or not..." she said, while pressing herself against David's back, her arms wrapping around his waist, "All that I ask... Is that you love me... Like you loved her..."
David sighed, pulling himself out of her grip, and taking position over the side of the building again, "I can't do that," he said coldly.
Offended, the woman says no more, heading back down through the door she came through, down the stairs.
For the rest of the night, he stayed there, sniping the creatures for what seemed like eternity... He believed he'd be fighting until the day he died, which in his mind, was going to happen soon...

Jesse, her head buried in her pillow, had been crying most of the night. She felt that there was no end to her stupidity.
"Why would I say something like that to a stranger!?! I'm so stupid!" she thought, burying her head deeper into her pillow, crying until she was too tired to cry anymore, drifting to sleep...

The next morning was not special, unlike most of the others. Everyone went through their morning routines. Fully rested, they decided what to do for the day...
