[Kharma]
I pull up to my new house, park, and I literally jump out my car. After walking around the house and quickly looking through it, I come back outside, before I proceed to do my happy dance. Which is merely me turning in circles and moving my pointer fingers up and down. But then it hits me, every single room is white; there's no color in my house. My floors are black, hard wood. Oh well, I'm perfectly fine with painting. So, I get back in my car and drive to the nearest hardware store. Once I get there, I walk up to the guy that is standing behind the paint counter.
"Hi, how may I help you," he asks in a monotone voice that makes me want to pass out.
"I need two large cans of lime green, electric blue, neon purple, hot pink, and black paint," I inform him, and he just stares at me for a minute.
Finally, he moves from behind the counter and gets all the paint.
"You're total is $200.00," he tells me a very smug voice and a look on his face to match.
However, it goes away when I pull out two, one hundred dollar bills and hand them to him. Then, I grab a cart from beside the counter and put all ten tubs into it before I head out to my car. Quickly unloading all the paint, I push the cart back inside. Going back out to my car, I get in and then drive back to my house. Getting there about five minutes later, I grab two tubs at a time and bring them into the house, leaving them by the front door. As soon as I have them all in, I start unpacking my furniture that I could fit into boxes, which takes all of an hour, then I start moving everything from the U-Haul in. So, about three hours later, I'm covering everything in tarp and putting newspaper on the floor so I can start painting. But before I do, I take off my glasses so they don't get splattered, and change into a white spaghetti strap shirt, and I do this because if it get paint on it, it'll look awesome. I decide that I'll paint the walls in my room each a different color.
"I can't work without music," I remind myself, so I run out to my car, grab my iPod, and snag my iHome from the livingroom.
Plugging it into my wall, I scroll the music before landing on the Someone in Control album by Trapt. Once I have that playing full blast, I open up the electric blue and I start to paint the wall on the right. It's the first wall I saw when I walked in, and I want electric blue to shock the hell out of any person that walks into my room. About thirty minutes later, I move to the wall that'll be behind my bed, and I think that I want to paint it...lime green, like my eyes. Then, I paint the wall with my door hot pink, and finally, the wall that has my closet behind it is painted neon purple. Now that I have my room done, I walk over to my bathroom, which is connected to my room, and I paint the whole damn thing in lime green. Since I don't feel like going through the whole design, I'll just tell you the room, and what color it is. You already know my room, and the bathroom. The living room is electric blue, because when you go in through my front door, it goes into my livingroom, and I just love surprising the hell out of people. Next, is my kitchen, which is neon purple. My guest bedroom, is decorated like mine. Then I got into the other bathroom, and I paint that hot pink. Finally, I go into the room I designated as my dance studio/gym, I paint the walls black, and then I take all the left overs from the other paints, and I splatter the walls with them. Except for the wall of mirrors I have.
"I'm going to love being in here," I mumble.
Looking down, I see that my hair has fallen out of the ponytail and my shirt is white, and every color I used to paint. But because I just painted, I remember that I can't use either bathrooms until they completely dry. I don't really care, my shirt looks cool, I managed not to get any paint on me, and my hair is the same way. Once I look at all the rooms again, I go into my backyard, which has an in-ground pool, and a big deck. However, I'm more interested in the woods that are only fifty feet away. After locking up the house, but remembering to open the windows so I don't have paint fumes, I shove my phone into my back pocket and I decide to go for a walk in the woods.
After only walking for ten minutes, I see two white specks up ahead of me. I walk a little faster, wanting to see what they are. But when I get there, the sight in front of me makes me sick. A beautiful white wolf, covered in blood; it's throat torn out. The other white speck I saw was an adorable little baby wolf, however, the poor thing has a gash across it's face. I find it funny, because I have that exact scar that runs from the outer side of my left eye, to the outer side of my right eye, and it runs right across the bridge of my nose. I pick up the baby and carry her back to my house. However, before I can get to my house, I realize that I can no longer feel her breathing. Once I check, find that she has no pulse. For a second, I feel like crying, but I stop myself, instead, I go back into my U-Haul, grab a shovel and two large tarps, then I carry the little wolf back to her mother. There, a dig a grave large enough to fit both of them. Also, I make sure it's deep enough that no animal can dig up the bodies. When I finish, I lay the first tarp down, I then gently place both bodies in. Placing the second tarp over them, I start putting the dirt back. As soon as that's done, I get down on my knees and pray for the two, before drawing the kanjis for mother and daughter with rocks on top of the make-shift graves.
"May you rest in peace," I whisper to them.
From behind me, a hear a twig snap, and I slowly turn my head around. Cowering about three feet away from me is a beautiful all black wolf puppy with amber eyes. It seems to slide over to me. When I reach down to pet it, it jerks it's head back and falls over...Okay, he falls over. Gently, I lower myself onto the ground until I'm in a kneeling position. Hesitantly, he comes back over before sniffing my hand. He seems okay after that. This time, when I go to pet him, he sits still.
"Hey there, cutie. Do you want to come home with me," I ask him in a sweet tone.
He yips back happily before jumping into my arms. I give him a scratch behind the ears as I walk back, little did I know, that I had been watched this entire time.
[Mystery]
Everybody meet at Sam's, I order.
Once I'm there, I phase back and quickly throw some clothes on.
"What's up," Seth asks as soon as I walk through the door.
"It seems we have a new neighbor, she lives in the house right next to the border bridge. She seems weird, and she came across two wolves; dead. Buried them, and then another wolf showed up, a puppy; she took him home with her. And I say, we go introduce ourselves," I suggest.
At first everyone just stares at me, before jumping up and piling into my big, black truck.
"Was she hot," Paul asks.
"I'm not going to lie, she was good-looking," I admit.
"You better hope I don't tell Rachel, " Seth teases and threatens Paul.
The color drains from his face in an instant. Seth just smirks at him. Soon enough, we pull up to her house.
