Grim: For once... I have no comment...
Broken: Well then... I do. Welcome to the new story everyone. And for those who don't know us, let me let you in on a tiny secret; We're insane!
Grim: Who doesn't know us?
Broken: A lot of people, Grim. A lot.
Grim: True. True. ENJOY THY STORY!
It seemed like yesterday when Grim met that man. Time does fly when you're having fun. She couldn't believe how fast it went. She almost didn't think it was real either.
Slowly making her way out of her apartment, Grim found herself leaning against the wall, clutching her chest in pain. After she had got into Manhattan, New York she formed a chest problem. It felt as though her heart was being crushed by a hundred pounds. Sometimes, she couldn't take it, and just curl into a tight ball, usually forcing herself into sleep. Other times, she would just push the pain aside, and go out, getting some pills to take care of her pains.
Today was unusual. Her pain was worse, and tears formed in her eyes for once.
"Come on. Just let it go away, please." she muttered to herself, clenching the red dagger in her free hand harder. She finally ran out of her pills, and needed to get more. Even though they never really took the full pain away, it lowered greatly, enough to allow her to go to sleep.
She finally made it out, the world still depressing to her. She slowly made her way down the street, her head low. She would look up at her surroundings at points, just to make sure nothing was coming to kill her. Sighing, she slowly kicked a rock, gritting her teeth.
Grim finally made it to the store, the place having no life. She shrugged, and walked down the isle. Guess I brought my wallet for nothing. She thought, once she found the little bottle of pills.
CLUNK!
The sound of something being tipped over made the woman jump, her heart racing. She saw it was only a tiny kitten, its fur matted, while its mouth seeped with strange strange black liquid.
"That's creepy." Grim muttered, as she bolted out of the store, the bottle of pills clenched tightly in her hand. As she ran off, the kitten meowed quietly, tilting its head a bit, as it sniffed the air, getting the sent of the woman. It then smiled, and slowly walked out of the store as well, still sniffing the air.
Grim leaned against a brick wall in an ally, opening the bottle, and taking two pills. She counted the rest, and growled, hitting her head against the wall a little. She sighed quietly, before the sound of footsteps caught her attention. She tilted her head a little, and walked out to the edge of the building, slowly looking out. It was only a person running from a zombie. She allowed the human to pass, before sticking her dagger into the zombie's head, watching as it died. She smiled in pure happiness, the feeling of her killing something taking her mind away from her pain for a short moment. She then started to go back to her spot, before something stopped her.
"Meow!" a tiny voice squeaked out. Grim slowly turned around, seeing that same kitten she saw at the store, its black eyes looking at her. With a yelp of surprise, she stumbled backwards, dropping both her dagger and pills. Her head fell back, along with her body, as she slammed into the brick wall, knocking her unconscious. The last thing she remembered seeing before she completely slipping into darkness, was the kitten pushing the bottle of pills towards her hand with its nose.
Alex looked at the woman who was now curled into a ball, her dagger and bottle of pills by her side. He stumbled upon her earlier, only finding a gray kitten near her body. He didn't know why, but something told him to get her out of that dark ally. Now, they were on a rooftop, the entrance to it blocked so nothing could get onto it. He left the kitten in the ally, not really caring for it. He admired the strange woman. She wore a black cap, black t-shirt that had a little green dog on it, that said in white letters 'Lost taco! If found, please return to Gir', dark blue jeans, black combat boots, and black fingerless gloves. The strangest thing of her, was her mouth. It was cut from the corner of her mouth, to the top of her ears, and then it was sewed up, keeping it together. She also had a scar over her right eye. He went to leave, thinking she would be fine, before that kitten appeared next to him.
"Meow!" it squeaked out, smiling up at him, the same black liquid seeping from its mouth. Alex tilted his head at it, wondering what it was. It didn't look infected, and it wasn't a zombie cat. He then heard the woman groan in pain. He turned his attention towards her. Soon, she opened red eyes, slits in them acting as pupils. She then slowly sat up, holding her head in pain. The kitten meowed once more, trotting over to her. She let out a yelp of fear, crawling away from it. She then looked up at Alex, tilting her head.
"What happened to me?" she asked. He only shrugged.
"How am I supposed to know? I found you in the ally, and brought you up here." he replied. Before she could say anything, she clenched her chest in pain. The bottle was out of reach, and she refused to move. Before Alex could get the bottle for her, the kitten beat him to it, tipping it over, and rolling it towards her. Hesitantly, she grabbed the bottle, taking two more pills.
"How did this cat get up here?" she asked, backing away from it more. He shrugged, unsure of that as well.
"Don't know. I was gonna leave, and there he was at my feet." he informed her. She looked up at him.
"You were gonna leave me?" she asked, laughing a bit. Once more he shrugged, and nodded a bit.
"Mean." she said quietly, laughing more.
"You'll be fine up here." he told her. She looked at him like he was crazy.
"How do you expect me to get down?" she asked, tilting her head. He pointed to the edge, showing her some boxes she climb down. It wasn't so steady, but she wouldn't die if she fell from a certain point.
"Yeah, okay. That works." she muttered, leaning against the wall. He went to go leave, before she stopped him.
"Hey! Don't leave me like this dude!" she called to him. He looked back at her, surprised. Usually people would've ran from him. She slowly stood up. He studied her. Her red eyes showed a mix of pain, sadness, anger, and in any minute she would break down crying. But, she seemed like she was a little brave, like nothing could emotionally harm her.
"Why?" he asked, wondering why she wanted him to stay.
"One there's this creepy cat with me, and I think its gonna eat me if I try to sleep, and two I really don't wanna be alone." she confesed, lowering her head.
"You can easily get rid of the cat." he told her.
"I can't. I like animals too much to kill them... even if they're evil," she replied, looking back at the cat, its black eyes watching her. "Just until it leaves."
"Fine." he sighed. She smiled happily, knowing he would stay for a while.
"I'm Grim by the way." she told him.
"Alex." he replied. She nodded her head, the smile still there.
Grim finally passed out, clutching her bottle of pills and dagger. The kitten sat by her, starring at Alex. Getting away from the cat's gaze, he went out and got Grim a few things. When he came back, the cat was waiting for his return. He didn't understand the thing. It just sat there, doing nothing but starring at either him, or the girl. The cat's tail soon lightly touched Grim's arm, making her growl, and move into a new spot.
Grim woke up when Alex was just about to throw the kitten off the building.
"What happened while I was sleeping?" she asked, slowly getting up.
"I got you some things." Alex replied.
"Thanks." she said, smiling at him. He shrugged a bit, now wondering why he had done those things. He just felt like he had to for some reason.
"Meow!" the kitten squeaked.
"Dude! You're creepy! Go somewhere!" Grim said, speaking to the kitten, as if it would reply. It did, but pawing at her boot. She sighed, knowing she wouldn't win.
"Looks like you're stuck with him." Alex spoke, watching as she tried to move away, only to have the kitten follow.
"Don't remind me." she sighed, finally giving up.
Grim: I promise no go story!
Broken: I want that kitten!
Grim: You just wanna give me nightmares, huh?
Broken: Yep!
Grim: EVIL!
