Lies?

Just as I was about to turn around and check if he was still there I heard a knock on the door. The man took a breath in and asked why Maria had come back but to both of our surprises it was another voice.

"I'm sorry to bother you sir but can I talk to you for a little bit I know it's late but..I didn't want the others to hear. "

The man waited a second before answering the door as he did I made fast peak through the opposite side of the painting. The voice both the man and I had just heard belonged to pocket!

Pocket entered the room and I quickly pulled my head back round the painting with even more questions in my mind. What was pocket doing up this late? Did he know that I snuck out? And what did he want to talk about with the man?

So on with it boy the man said impatiently.

Pockets then asked the Man in a serious way if he knew where the clockwork's go when they get taken.

The man was silent for a second. Then asked pocket a question of his own.

"Are you a child of sin?"

Pocket then dose what I could only assume was a nod.

I Watched the wood floor as it distorts in front of me from thinking back to all the time pocket and I have spent together. He could have told me all those times..why did he hide it...

They both eventually leave the room leaving me alone again in the silents. The only noice that could be heard was slight tapping at the window and creaking of the wood in the floor.

I shivered slightly pulling my sleeves up as the night grew colder and my eyes heavier.

It was hard to stay awake lucky the lady had returned before I drifted off completely and guided me back to my bed with the others. Pocket wasn't there however I was too tired to worry and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.hopefully my dreams will be more peaceful then the day ahead..
