Chapter 14: R&R Rest & Restitution

(Warning: minor breach of the 4th wall ahead)

I was feeling good, I had built stronger relationships with Ruby, Poe, Skull Boy and now Iris. However, I couldn't wait to rub Skull Boys face in the fact that I actually enjoyed Iris' thrill-seeking way of life, and I had a feeling he was apprehensive when talking about Ruby for more than one reason. But I'd have to inquire about that later, right now I had some serious R&R to attend to.

I headed upstairs to my room where I collapsed horizontally on my soft quilt. "Aaahh" I sighed relaxed. After chilling out for a good solid half hour I began to ponder my past once again...

First and foremost, I haven't been entirely truthful with you. My best friend who betrayed me wasn't a zombie, she was a witch.

Also her name wasn't Zora, I just said that to throw you off the trail. Her real name was DeDe, she and I were pretty much inseparable in our younger and more vulnerable years, but when she turned 9 everything changed. You see, witches arent born evil and blood thirsty, the first few years of their life they are pretty normal. But once DeDe turned 9 her instincts suddenly clicked and becomes an urge that she couldn't fight who she was anymore. Hence, she ended our friendship, betrayed me, stabbing out my eye and the crème de la crème itself, eating my heart

...while I watched...crying...blood.

DeDe's betrayal hit me big time, it made me aware that the world can be a cruel place and sometimes innocent, well-adjusted people get hit hard for no reason. But now I know better, just because selfish, cruel people exist doesn't mean that I have to be involved with them, I have a choice, a choice to find a safe home here in Gloomsville, full of the most wonderful characters anyone would ever be lucky to be with.

Now that I got that off my chest, I thought maybe now would be a good time to see what Frank and Len were up to. I got up, rushed out of the room, closing my door and hurrying off to find them.

(Apologies for the short chapter readers, but I'm getting closer to a dramatic shift, stay tuned.)
