So my reader's it has been what a month or so since I last posted a chappie. This chapter is for anyone who fails at writing in first person like me! I do not own this magical film of gore and song!
Shilo sat bemused in front of Graverobber. Who wouldn't? He was a storyteller in his own right.
His voice was low, "It all began two years ago. It was just another day for me of harvesting and selling until I was walking back to my humble abode. It was raining, cleaning up the desolate world we live in. I was just wandering, I really just lay my head where the cops couldn't find me. As I was walking through the cemetary searching for the most subtle exit, I heard the sound of the large lights turning on... I was found out and I took off running... the cops were after me. Everything moved so fast," he said with a grand flourish of the hands."When all of a sudden out of no where I trip over miss cotton candy herself."
Skylar laughed. "Well I tripped you actually."
"Whatever, she peeked out from her hiding place gesturing me to come closer."
"More like I mouthed get your ass over here and you wont get caught." Skylar mumured.
Shilo laughed. "Come on stop interrupting!"
"She looked at me and whispered. 'Looks like you dug yourself a lovely grave my friend. Come with me' I was curious so I had to follow. She lead me to the most comspicuous exit ever. But we didn't get caught."
Skylar winked. "Yeah and then we got to know each other and how well Z sells... I don't deal anymore."
"So you got him out of a cemetary in one piece just by walking out of the exit?" Shilo's jaw looked like it was about to hit the floor.
"Yeah and he never said thanks... Saddest part is he owes me. He's indebted to me."
"That's a lie I paid you back."
"No, you clearly said 'I OWE YOU' after the fact." She smoothed the pleats of her skirt as she stood.
"Don't get all high and mighty with me Sky."
"You just called me my pet name. Your the only person that calls me Sky." She was now looking up at graverobber.
He leaned down to murmur something inaudible to shilo, but it made Skylar smirk slightly.
"Well, I best be on my way." Skylar turned to leave after she blew a kiss to both of them.
"Bye Sky."
"Thank's Skylar." Shilo mumbled as the front door closed softly. "Graverobber what did you tell her?"
"Shilo you don't even want to know..." He chuckled causing shilo to jump slightly. He laughed a little more because of Shilo's reaction. "You're a keeper." He muttered to himself...
"That was a good story. A good story always makes me feel better." She was still sitting on the floor. "Will you sit with me for a minute?" she looked up at his towering form.
"Sure." He slumped down onto the floor next to her. "You don't mind if I stay here do you?" She shook her head.
"Stay as long as you wish. I don't think I could stay here alone. It brings back to much." She hugged her knees to her chest.
"Don't think about that, the past is the past, now is now and the future remains unknown. Don't worry about stuff that already happened." He looked at her tiny form. "Are you hungry?"
She nodded slightly. "I don't think there's any food in the fridge. Well any food that's good." She mumbled staring off into space, she did that a lot that was something that Graverobber had noticed.
"We can order in." He remarked looking at Shilo's pale facial features. "I've had an itching for pizza anyway."
"I've never eaten that... but it sounds good." She turned to see he was staring and she blushed.
"I'll go order I saw a phone somewhere in this house." He stood curious why she had blushed. She was a teen after all, but he had never seen that natural blush rise in the cheeks of a girl. Everyone was too fake to feel.
She moved to sit on the chair beside the fireplace, it smelled like her dad. "Graverobber, I want to get rid of this chair." She wanted to rid her life of everything that reminded her of the past.
"Alright kiddo," he returned to the room to meet her glare "Shilo, sorry."
"Is the food coming?" She yawned.
"Yep, you want to get rid of that chair?"
"Yes, it bugs me." She stood up and dashed up the stairs to her bedroom, she slumped down onto the floor her eyes welling up. "I can't do this anymore."
He let her be until her cries became sobs. "Shi? What's wrong?" She looked up she didn't get called Shi too often but when he said it, it rang through her ears. "I want it all gone."
