Sorry for how long this chapter took, even though it's so short.
I made an rp blog for Phantom Grey if you ever wanna' swing by: ghostlyking . tumblr . com
I think all the chapters are going to be around 600 words each. So yeah.
Thanks for the reviews for those of you that did!
Screams of terror resounds throughout the foggy woods. In moments, a group of frightened campers rush to their vans, driving off as if their lives depended on it.
The campsite was dead silent, smoke rising from the recently put out flames with the embers slowly fading out. Tents were still set, seeing as the visitors left in quite a hurry, and objects floated about, suspended in the air gracefully. A ghostly figure sat comfortably upon one of the logs, tossing a burnt marshmallow into his mouth without a care.
"Shame, we were having so much fun," the spirit half-whined, letting the supplies collapse to the cold ground with a noisy clamor.
With a sigh, he stood, brushing himself off as he glanced around the site. All the fun had left him; though in actuality, he was simply too lazy to send an apparition after them – he had those moments a lot more than one would think.
Lately, the usual scare was extremely boring to the haunting spirit. Of course, he became easily bored with anything he did.
In a lame attempt to ease his boredom, he decides to take a stroll through the thicket.
A full moon was present, slightly clouded from all sides by thick and ominous clouds which almost seem to devour it inch by inch. Dark shadows cast itself in every direction and slowly fades into darkness as the moonlight becomes obscured.
"Pleasant night for a scare isn't it?" utters an ominous voice.
The pale spirit stops and turns, in a lazy fashion, to look at the owner of the voice. From the shadows, a dark lanky figure emerges, golden eyes appearing to glow in the darkness.
"Indeed it is," the white figure began, staring curiously at his new companion, "To what do I owe the pleasure of your presence oh fearsome Boogeyman?"
A small frown appears on the grey male's face as he strides slowly, with a sort of elegance, towards the spirit.
"Charming - though I would greatly appreciate if you didn't call me that, Phantom Grey."
The white haired male shrugged nonchalantly.
"Pitch Black is such a boring name."
"As is Phantom Grey."
A short silence followed as the two simply smirk at each other, waiting for one to speak.
The last time they spoke was long ago, so long ago they did not care to remember. The old creatures were not exactly close friends, but they were definitely not enemies, seeing as they had some similar interests.
Phantom chuckles as he tilts his head to one side in a nonchalant manner, his bangs drifting across his face.
"I assume you have something interesting to tell me?" he asks, knowing that Pitch wasn't one for needless chatter.
The taller man nods once with a haunting smile, placing his hands together and tapping his fingers in a rhythmic motion.
"I am in need of your expertise."
The one, and probably the only, thing the ghostly spirit loved most about the Boogeyman was that he appreciated what he did for a living.
Not often did he have the chance, or the motivation, to use his skills to the fullest. If he did so decide to use them, he would receive an earful from those blasted Guardians, as well as the Man in the Moon. He assumed Pitch had something worth bribing him with, though he was usually easy to bribe in the first place considering he would do almost anything to cure his boredom.
"And risk being put on the naughty list?" Phantom began sarcastically; he was already on it and everyone knew it. "What do I get in return for going along with your little plans?"
The spirit was not daft. He knew of that little war Pitch had started, not to mention lost, some years ago. But he did not participate – it was a war over children, and he could not care less about them if he tried.
The Nightmare King's grin turns into a devilish smirk as he opens his arms, presenting the area around them.
"The world of course."
I was never good at writing intense moments. Action scenes will be a joy to write.
Hope you review!
