Forget Me Not Party
It took me two hours to get to Forget-Me–Not Valley. It was a beautiful place though. Everyone seemed welcoming. They even had a party for my arrival at the local in. Before I could get too indulged in the food and drink the mayor of Mineral town pulled me aside.
"You know it's very nice of you Gray to come and live here but wouldn't you be better off at Mineral town with your Grandpa?" I gave the man a scowl. I was no longer an apprentice to my grandfather. It was time I grew up. I decided to choose my words carefully.
"My grandfather is better off without me. I've finished my apprenticeship a year ago. I have all my gear up in my room I just have to make my blacksmithing shop. Gotz can help me with that. There's a mine here with plenty of ores that can do the job.
I walked away from the man, grabbed a beer out of the bowl of ice and found a corner where no one seemed to be gathered. Yes, this was a welcome party for him, and yes these people were all friendly, this was just not his scene. I was that guy who would curl up with a good horror book with heavy metal blaring in the background as you come up to the scariest part.
I was just about halfway through my can of beer when a blond takes the beer out of his hand and looks at him. I looked at the girl and frowned. He may not have drink that often, but it was rude to him to take it away from him.
"Hey, I was drinking that." She smiled at me teasingly.
"And now you're not. It's a party for you, the least you can do is talk to people." I snatched the beer can out of her small hands. She had long blonde hair that went all the way to her waist. Her small lips curled down into a frown again. My brow furrowed.
"I don't do parties and I especially don't do people." I took a swig of my beer finishing it. I threw the can in the trash. I marched up the stairs at the inn and into the room I would be staying in until Gotz could finish my black smith shop and slammed the door behind me. I took out my IPod from my duffle bag, and Stephen King's 'The shining' and pressed play. Listening to mostly screaming as Danny meets the two dead girls, beckoning him to play with them.
