CHAPTER 12
I knew that Whisper had locked his door right when I got upstairs. I immediately went and got out all my lock picking tools. I got to work straight away and unlocked his door in a mere ten seconds. I burst through the door and thankfully find Whisper sitting calmly on his bed, looking at his locket. His eyes were red and puffy and his nose was red. My expression softened. I walk over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. He looks up and then looks back down, a little angrier than before. I smile.
"I'm sorry, okay? It's my fault. I'm very clumsy and I always get pissed off and lose my temper when I embarrass myself. It is a really bad habit of mine. It usually comes out when I'm around Justin. I get stressed out when he is around."
"And why is that?" Whisper asks, looking very curious.
"Well, I look up to him and don't like embarrassing myself in front of him. I'm afraid that he is going to make fun of me like he always does. But usually he makes fun of me in a brotherly way, you know? I don't want that to change. I want Justin to respect me as an experienced meister, not a little kid who likes to swing around wavelength guns." I start to pant. Whisper smiles and holds my hand.
"I forgive you."
...that weekend...…
I almost trip over Blair, who was sleeping in the middle of the hallway. I scold myself for not being more careful and tell Blair to go join the others in the bedroom/home theater. I run to get refreshments so I don't miss the movie. Everyone, including Justin, Crona, and Blair, were invited to a sleepover that I am hosting. Everyone was in charge of something. Black*Star and Tsubaki were in charge of two movies. They could choose one horror movie and one family movie. Maka and Soul were in charge of popcorn and candy. Liz was helping me with serving everyone, Kid absolutely had to arrange the theater room where everyone was sleeping, and Patty, well, Patty was doing whatever Patty does best.
I finally make it back just in time to see the intro of the horror movie.
"This looks scary…I don't know how to deal with this!" Crona says as she shoves her/his face into a pillow.
"For once, I agree with Crona!" Liz panics and scoots over to Crona with fluffy pillow in tow. I laugh and roll my eyes.
"You guys are just being silly. It's just a movie. None of it is real." I say.
Soon, we are all cozy watching our movie. Tsubaki and Black*Star were squished on the bed in a pillow fort, Patty was pushing kid onto the floor, Liz and Crona were trembling on the corner of the bed, Maka and Soul were cuddled together at the foot of the bed, and Whisper and I were on the bed spooning. I put my head on his shoulders and he wrapped his arms around me. I realized what happened, I sat up and pushed him off. He looked at me and I blushed. He blushed too and scooted over. I tried to take my mind off of it and watch the movie. I had no idea what was happening. It looked like there were two kids in a house and…oh no. The…the house…is…is on…on…
The house is on fire.
I gasp and curl into a ball. I try to look away but my eyes are glued to the screen. Whisper sees and puts a hand on my shoulder. I close my eyes and cover my ears as I run away into the bathroom. I run and lock the door and lay on the carpet. I hear Whisper and Justin running to the door to see what is wrong. I fade in and out as I hear their conversation.
"Gwen?! What's wrong? Talk to me!" I hear Whisper shout.
"You idiots! Don't you know that Gwen is afraid of fire?! She freaks out over the smallest match and-"
I scream a loud, bloodcurdling scream. All of a sudden, I feel like I'm watching myself. I see me on the floor trembling in fear as everyone is trying to break down the door. I can't stop sweating and crying at the monster in front of me. The fire kishin was snarling and slowly wrapping his meaty hand around my neck as I can't do anything because fire is my biggest fear and weakness.
