Leaving Pains
Lucy's POV
I was walking home from night watch duty, as I came upon an open newsstand. I was too groggy to realize the improbability of it, as I later realized. A certain magazine stood out from the rest, catching my eye. It was garish gossip magazine covered with neon colors and a huge title proclaiming… blurs. I rubbed my eyes and then squinted to get a better look at the magazine. "SCANDAL CONCURS IN THE SMALL PSYCHIC AGENCY OF LOCKWOOD AND CO." screamed the headlines. I followed the page down to where there was a picture of a couple kissing in a shiny party. Hoping that my eyes were deceiving me, I rubbed them, and it was then I recognized the two of my old fellow agents; Holly Munroe and Lockwood.
I felt a pang, which I dismissed as a pang of friendship. I bought the magazine from the shady vendor to get a closer look. I started walking home, or so I thought, until I got onto the street of my former employees. I recognized my old home. Not caring that it was the middle of the night, I rang the doorbell thirteen time and then dropped the magazine on the front porch. I then acknowledged how tired I was.
I mumbled, "Might as well…" And then I fell back into the bushes.
Lockwood's POV
The doorbell was ringing. I turned onto my back in my sleep. Then I sat up with a start. The doorbell was ringing! I quickly put on my robe and tied it. I then checked my watch, the neon numbers showing 3:00. I ran down the stairs as fast as I could, and then as a last-minute precaution, I took a flashlight down with me. I opened the door and looked for the ringer of the doorbell. I took out my flashlight an pointed it down, towards the porch. There was a gossip magazine resting there. I picked it up, then groaned. I loathed whoever left it, unless…
I shook it off. I tossed the offending magazine into the house. Holly would pay in the morning… I picked up my flashlight and stepped off the porch to look for the offender. Stalking through the bushes, my foot hit a fleshy something. I pulled back the bushes just to find… Lucy?
My heart fluttered a little. Then I pushed it back down. I squatted down next to Lucy and shook her. That girl could sleep like a log. I then sat down next to her and sighed, thinking about older times. I smiled, and then I pet Lucy's hair. Couldn't I dream?
There it is! I have to get my Lockwood and Co. fluff out of my system before the next book!
I won't update often because I'm VERY forgetful. Peace!
