Hey lovelies! So who remembers a time when I used to update everyday.
*raises hand slowly*
Hey! So someone told me to write more auslly.
My response: Patience, child, patience.
And also someone asked me if I was Romanian because I used Romanian in the last chapter.
My response: Nope. Google Translate and I are just really great friends.
Anywhooo… Let's get it on!
I talk too much ;)
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-..-.-.-
"So, Cass were you listening?" Ally asked reassuringly.
"Hmm, what?" Cassidy asked finally looking straight at the brunette in front of her.
"Cassidy, I swear if you keep getting distracted by Dallas Dean, I'm going to go over there and ask him out for you, myself!" Ally whisper yelled.
"But he's so cute! And the day that you talk to boys, is the day that I'll sing halleluiah!"
Ally just rolled her eyes and continued stuffing books in her locker.
Despite her happy, calm exterior, on the inside she was a nervous wreck.
The slightest things scared her.
Her teddy bear, slamming of lockers, the wall!
"Mmm, So what were you telling me, Als?" Cassidy asked after five minutes of staring at the brown-haired boy.
Ally sighed, Lightly shutting her locker so she wouldn't jump at the noise and smoothening out her aqua sundress.
"I asked you if you could give me a ride after school to someone's house." Ally replied.
"Sure! Guy or girl?"
"I will hope it's a guy, by the name." Ally replied.
"Oooh A guy, Ally's getting it on! What's his name?" Cassidy teased.
"Please Cass, I just wanna talk to him. He has a blog about de-… Decaf Lattes." Ally said realizing she was about to say demons.
"And I wanted to ask him some questions about the blog. And his name is Bounty Duke." Ally finished.
"So, let me get this straight. This guy named Bounty Duke has a blog about Decaf Lattes and you have questions for him?" The blonde asked wearily.
"Yes." Ally replied nervously biting her lip.
"OMG! Can I come with? I mean, if this guy has a blog dedicated to it, then he must know everything right? I have questions for him and I wonder if he could make us some and-."
"I don't think that's such a good idea Cass." Ally interrupted.
"Why?" The blonde asked a pout making a way on her face.
"Because…. Today is Monday right? You have soccer practice! And if you miss a practice, Athena will use that against you."
"I hate that blonde bitch!" Cassidy gritted through her teeth.
And Ally cringed as the blonde slammed her locker shut.
The bell rang signaling that the next period began.
Ally waved goodbye to her best friend and headed off to her class with…him.
-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.
"Hey Austin!" she chirped as she sat in her assigned seat next to him.
But of course he didn't hear her because of the heavy rock music blasting through his headphones so loud she heard it from there, plus he was busy doodling on the cover of his notebook with a Sharpie.
To annoy him further she plucked one of the headphones out of his ears and repeated, "Hello Austin!"
He stuck out his middle finger while saying, "Fuck off."
"Now, now Austin there's no need for the attitude." Ally said in a fake scolding voice holding back a laugh.
"You're right. Wouldn't want to make scaredy cat mad, now would we?" he said returning the same tone as she did while pausing the song and plucking the other earbud out of his ear.
"I-I'm not a scaredy cat." She protested beginning to pout.
"Oh really now? Well why couldn't you tell me the things you saw or what happened to you that you were so… shaken that morning-."
"And why do you care so much?" Ally said folding her arms once she realized she stumped him.
He narrowed his eyes at her, scoffing in the process.
"Trust me red lace, I am NOT interested in you. But if I tell you the real reason you wouldn't be able to fucking close your eyes."
"What's that supposed to m-."
"Sorry I'm late class, there was a lot of traffic on the freeway." Mr. Miller said.
Austin smirked and turned to face the teacher, while Ally still held the confused face she held no more than five seconds ago.
"Red Lace, Darling, the teacher is present. Please face front." Austin said in a motherly tone.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.
"Are you sure, you don't want me to come with you to talk to this Decaf Latte guy?" Cassidy asked as she watched the brunette step out of the car.
"No, Cassidy I'm fine. Plus you have soccer practice to go to. " Ally replied as she bent slightly to talk to the blonde through the window.
"I don't know, Als this place seems pretty sketchy." Cassidy said in an unsure voice.
"Cassidy I'm fine, Plus I carry pepper spray in my pocket." She whispered the last part.
"Okay. But call me if-."
"Okay, mom, I will." Ally chuckled.
And Cassidy turned and drove off.
But the blonde was not wrong the place was… suspicious.
All the buildings were red brick buildings with little alleyways in between.
Luckily the place wasn't deserted.
There were people walking in the street and a deli place opposite.
But the trees outside were grey and didn't have any leaves.
Ally walked up the little stairs and knocked on the door.
A cough was heard from inside followed by a groan.
"Who is it?" the voice asked. It was very deep and hoarse.
"Umm can you open the door, please?" Ally asked.
The door opened slightly to reveal a man in his mid thirties with black unruly curls and glasses on. (Looks something like Josh Gad)
"Oh it's a girl." He commented, more to himself than to her.
"Are you Bounty Duke?" Ally asked putting her hands on her hips.
The man nodded sipping his beer.
"Hi, I , Um, didn't mean to drop by so unexpected. It's just, I read your blog 'Gore Galore'-."
"SHH!" the man pressed his finger to her lips, "Not so loud." He whispered.
"And I had some quarries for you." She finished, quieter this time.
"Oh, um okay, come in." he said opening the door wider.
He only wore a white wifebeater and truck boxers with white socks.
His place was small and dare she say- disgusting.
"Um since you're talking about my website we're going somewhere where no one could hear us." He whispered.
The man was short and chubby, she was pretty sure he was easy to beat up if she had to.
"Let's go to my lair." He whisper-yelled and led her down a dark staircase.
He pulled a string of a lightbulb illuminating a little spot in the room.
She gulped and sat down in a chair he pulled out for her.
He started lighting candles to help light the place more.
"So, what is it?" he asked her.
"I, um, don't know where to begin." She started.
"Well first off I was living normally then all this weird stuff started happening, like I got weird messages. And like bloody pictures in my locker. And I can't sleep at night because I feel a presence in the room and one night I saw that the person dropped a necklace."
She swallowed.
"And um after I read your blog, I found out was an 'Aersol' symbol."
"Hmm, I see well the only people who possess aersol necklaces are… demons."
Ally let a tear slip after hearing this.
"And I keep getting messages like 'run' or 'we're coming' or 'you'll never see us coming' and Creepy messages."
He nodded along.
"And um the last message I got was a poem talking about the game 'Knives and Swords'. And Yeah." Ally flicked a tear away.
"How old are you?" he asked cautiously watching her.
"I-I'm seventeen. I'll be eighteen in a month and a half."
His eyes widened at this.
"Allison, is it?" He asked and she nodded.
"I can't tell you much, because soon everything will piece together. But I will give you advice." He said.
"Yes, anything." Ally replied.
"Be careful. Because these messages are actually warnings. Warning you that whatever it is, is coming. And I suggest that you be prepared for it." He said to her.
"Thank you Bounty." She smiled.
She then called Cassidy.
"Cass, I need a ride to a next friend's house."
-.-.-.-.-
She knocked on the door.
No answer.
And she knocked again.
Still no answer.
She knocked harder this time.
And this time the person answered, in all his shirtless glory.
"What do you want, Red lace!" He snapped.
"I need to teach me how to defend myself."
-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Boom! Fire in the house!
