What are Trees? (private; Zoey)

Walking through the Magnolia Park, Seven, more commonly referred to as Alp, continued to relay the thoughts in his head. A servant from the guild guided him to the train, then took him to the train station. Seven's creator told him by note to go have fun at the park, strangely benevolent of him. Either way, he encased the letter with a couple hundred slips of some... Paper? Seven had no idea what it was. The servant said to go spend it whenever he wanted something to eat.

"Papa told me... Have fun at park..." The blonde said aloud, as he continued to walk. His black outfit absorbed a lot of heat, making Seven want some water, but he didn't know where to get some. The servant was gone, but before he left he told Seven to NEVER remove his gloves.

"Never... Remove... Gloves..." He continued to think to himself as he stopped at a tree. This tree looked way different than the ones at the spooky forest, and it had some... Green things on them? The bark was brown instead of black, and seven went to the assumption that the tree was some sort of defective tree, so he hopped up onto the branch, grabbed and pulled himself up. Not shortly after did he begin snapping off branches that had those green things that felt like paper on them. He made quite a bit of noise, and attracted quite a bit of attention. The people either thought he was crazy or some sort of strange person who didn't use an axe when chopping down trees. Either way, he paid no attention.

With those strings of jobs done, Zoey White decided to get some more supplies at the shop. She was wondering what she would have for dinner today. It's been a while since she actually cooked here at home since it was quite some time she left for the first job of many. She entered the park, which was a good shortcut to the store and it also had a lot of nature inside. She always felt so at home there and today was not any different.

Until she heard something coming from a little further. On ground level there was nothing to be seen. Afterwards she looked up and saw a blonde boy pulling branches off the tree for apparently no reason. She had to stop this, if not he might severally damage or even kill the tree. She ran towards the tree in question.

"Stop right there!" She shouted as she unleashed her magic from the trees above her. Green vines would appear behind him and try to restrain his arms, preventing him from harming the tree any further. Of course she didn't want to resort to violence, but she had to do something. The vines were mostly the safest way for both Zoey herself, the tree and the boy. It shouldn't hurt to much even if the vines try to hit him, which they don't.

Seven was about to pull another branch from the tree, when suddenly he heard a voice, yelling "Stop right there." Suddenly stopping without any effort, he raised his arms, nearly falling off the tree. However, a pair of vines grabbed his arms, restraining him and pulling his arms into a cross-type manner. This was bad, as his major fear started reminding him of his time in the lab, and his beautiful blue eyes changed from confusion to sheer fear, as he began fighting against the vines.

"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO NOW!!!!! The man yelled, struggling. His breathing became heavy, his eyes manic. He was going to have a nervous breakdown, and that'd be good for no one in the park. He would be responsible for the deaths of many, and he wouldn't remember it the very next day. He started screaming, sounding like he was in pain, but there was no physical pain, only mental. The memories of all the experiments while he was chained down, just like this.

Then it dawned on him, there was a girl, physically younger than him, that yelled at him from before. The young woman, whom yelled stop right there, was the one imprisoning him. The blonde had attracted a lot of attention from the tree-defilation, but now everyone who could hear his scream was paying attention to him. With another struggle, he gave up soon due to fatigue, and just stared at the girl with a look of complete, utter hatred.

"Let me go! NOW!"

She had to stop this little guy somehow, and right now the most direct way was to tie him up. Zoey didn't want to hurt the boy, but if he didn't stop struggling or harming trees there might be little choice. She knew many people were watching her, but she decided that there were more pressing matters right now. For each twig he pulled the tree would be harmed more.

"Only if you promise to stop hurting that tree!" She shouted back. What was it that the situation called for it for her to raise her voice lately. Her life used to be so nice and quiet. Then she met Leila and every now and then strange things happened around her. Her curse had been rather silent lately though. Just as she thought about it she felt the all to familiar sting in her body. She quickly released her spell and ran away deeper inside the park more lush places, where the people not regularly came. There was no time for this she had to find a lone spot somewhere in close by where she could sit out the time out. Of course that was if the boy would let her. Considering he might thing she attacked him that might not be that simple.

She traps him, then runs away. That was something the man couldn't understand, but he still took it as some type of threat. He quickly hopped off of the tree, and landed on the ground like Iron Man. He stood up, and turned his head both left and right. The girl whom pseudo-attacked him was running to his left, towards another area of the park. As such, Seven started sprinting after her. His coat and hair waved in the wind of his speed, and he decided to do something quite unexpected for him.

Seven dived, and speared the girl from behind, then pinned her down. An excellent form tackle, probably 8 out of ten. He had never done that before, but he just thought it to be the best course of action at the moment. He held his arms over her, and held her down with his entire body weight.

"WHY YOU DO THAT!!!" Seven's face was that of a broken heart, both extremely angry, confused, and sad at the same time. Albeit she didn't know it, had she held him for a second longer, she herself would have put the whole park in danger, but that didn't matter right now, this terrible girl did. He needed to know why, why would she envoke one of his greatest fears, then just leave like it was nothing?

Moving deeper inside the park she could see that there weren't any people here at the moment. She dropped on her knee as the pain inside her became to much to stand on. Lot's of growing and moaning left her mouth as the pain intensified like it always did. Hopefully that boy from earlier wouldn't follow her.

Of course her hope as always was for naught. Zoey felt someone pushing her and she fell flat-faced on the ground. She tried to get up but she could feel the boy's weight and his arms also prevented hers from getting up. She could lift her head a little though.

"Please... Let go." Her daley in speech was more from the pain of her curse than from falling. It was still getting worser, she could feel stings all around her body. Right at that moment, black marks appeared all over her body. Starting from her belly, but soon covering her entire body and soon limps as well, and they hurt immensely.

"agh..." More cries of pain leaved her body as the curse intensified even though the boy wasn't really doing anything more than restraining her yet. She didn't want to think about the current situation yet. Her curse hurt, not only that but someone she didn't knew actually saw it. That alone was bad enough, and she even was taken down by the same person. Could this day become any worse than it already had?
