The bus coughed and lurched forward again. Robbie leaned back, his face so still it couldve been carved from stone. The space beneath the oak was empty. Horse and rider were gone, like theyd never existed.

"Did you see that?"

Robbie seemed to be in his own world at the moment.

"Robbie!" She shook him.

He flinched and finally looked at her

"What is wrong with you today?..."

For a moment, his eyes were bright and feral, his face like that of a wild dog. Then he blinked and was normal again. "Dont worry about it, princess." At their curb, Robbie leaped up as if the seat was on fire and rushed out the door.

"Hey wait!" She called to him before she followed him.
Once she got off of the bus she kept her distance. She saw the glimpse of his changing eyes and she had so many questions.
"What is happening! Don't tell me to not worry! I want to know!" She kept about a 5ft distance.

"I have to go," Robbie announced. His green eyes swept through the trees, as if he expected something to come crashing out of the woods. Except for some bird trilling overhead, the forest was quiet and still. "I...um... forgot something at home." He turned to Amelia then with an apologetic look. "See you tonight, princess? Ill bring that champagne over later, okay?"

"Robbie please. Is something wrong?"
She asked reaching out for his hand.
