I really like this idea. But, I'm not to good writing for humans, so I'm sorry if I mess up too much. Heh... Enjoy!
" So... what exactly is a bedroom scare?"
Fatch asked quietly. The little monsters were all on the pirate ship now, heading for Deedstown. It was time for a bedroom scare. Although... Lexi and Fatch both didn't know what it really was, and the vampire was the only one willing to ask.
However, it seemed the ghost was lost in his mind. Or in the other vampire. Thatch finally seemed to notice as well, for he took one look at the ghost before narrowing his eyes.
" Can I help you? "
Immediately Casper turned away, now looking at the prince.
" S-sorry. What was the question? "
Fatch seemed a bit irritated, but repeated the question neither-less.
" What's the bedroom scare? "
" Oh. You sneak into a human child's room and scare them. "
" ... That's stupid. "
To be honest, Casper agreed with him. He hated scaring the fleshies, and scaring kids while they slept just seemed terrible. But if he didn't, then he'd fail. And he couldn't afford to fail.
The boat suddenly jerked to a stop, signaling their arrival in Deedstown. The ghost slowly rose from his seat, not looking forward to his assignment. He'd always hated scaring... and it was more than obvious as well.
He watched as his friends separated, a small part of him wishing they'd stayed. He would much rather hang out with them than do this.
" What's wrong Casper? "
Casper jumped ever so slightly and turned to face Amber. The zombie girl seemed genuinely concerned and slowly approached him.
" N-nothing Amber. "
He replied.
" Just don't want to do this. "
The pink haired girl smiled, and as she passed him, whispered.
" Me either. "
Turns out Casper was assigned to someone named Richard Griffin, who was twelve years old and in fifth grade. Not much was actually known about this boy, as he apparently moved to Deedstown only a few weeks ago. Scaring him wouldn't be easy.
Finally the ghost reached his house. It was a classy, two story house, and it honestly seemed as if his family was rich.
Casper sighed, turned invisible, and began looking for the boys room. ' Might as well get this over with... ' He thought sadly.
Once he found his room, he froze, taking a minute to analyze the boy. His hair was pitch black, his bangs slightly messy, and he had light brown freckles on the ridge of his nose. Beside him on his night stand was a pair of glasses. Casper couldn't help but wonder what color his eyes were.
Suddenly there was a tap on the window. Casper found his assigned gargoyle was trying to hurry him up. The ghost took a deep breath, and began to make his best scary faces.
" Ooooh! I'm a ghoooost! "
The human scrunched up his eyes briefly before opening them, reaching for his glasses. Turns out his eyes were a bright orange. The child turned to Casper, his droopy eyes showing he was clearly unimpressed.
" ... is that REALLY all you've got? "
Casper stopped out of surprise, looking at the fleshie. The child sat up and turned on his nightstand lamp, reviling his pale skin tone and long black shirt.
" Look ghosty, I've got a test in the morning, and I need my sleep. That and the average child needs 10 hours of sleep a day. So, uh, yeah... can you leave? "
Casper was shocked to say the least. Not only was this boy, Richard, not afraid of him, but he was also standing up to him. This didn't happen to often... even IF the ghost wasn't very scary.
Richard rolled his eyes towards the window, catching the gargoyle.
" ... Is this a project or something? "
Casper pulled back slightly.
" What? "
" Do you have to scare me? Cause I'm telling you right now; I don't care. I'm not afraid of any monsters. Now... "
The boy removed his glasses, turning off his light and laying back down.
" Goodnight. "
Casper had no choice. The gargoyle was yelling at him, and the human wasn't scared. So... he left.
School is back, so I may or may not have time to post every day. I hope you understand, and I appreciate your patience. :)
