SilverRogue: Sorry this is taking so long, but Angst is hard!
Nightshade: *cracks whip* KEEP WRITING!
Wednesday: *huggles a Dib plushy*
Dib stared at the fog, openmouthed. Fog never just appears in the middle of the afternoon in broad daylight. Shuddering from anything but cold, he picked up his books from where he'd dropped them on the ground and set off for home. ~Anyone, or anything could sneak up on me in this fog~ Dib worried, walking faster
To lift his quickly sinking spirits, Dib started to whistle. The notes echoed eerily through the silence, and soon he stopped, realizing how easily something or someone could hear the sound and find him. He walked on, his footsteps echoing strangely in the unnatural silence.
Something moved in the mist behind Dib. "Who's there!" He called, whirling around just in time to see some stupid cat run off into the fog. "Dib," he said, talking to himself and feeling very stupid, "Get. A. GRIP! There's nothing out there. You've walked home this way a million times. You'll be fine,"
He continued on his way, convinced he kept seeing things out of the corner of his eye, but whenever he turned to look, nothing was there. Twice he tripped from watching the fog more than where he was going. It was all Dib could do NOT to sob with relief when he finally saw his house. He bolted inside and locked the door behind him.
"GAZ!!" He called, expecting to be told to be quiet, "I'm home! Ms. Bitters gave me another detention!" Dib waited for the inevitable 'Dib! I don't care! Shut up, I'm trying to concentrate!', but only silence met his ears. After a few seconds, Dib decided that she SHOULD have answered by now.
"Gaz?" he called out tentatively, climbing the stairs to her room, "Sis? Are you in there?" He reached to open the door, hand trembling with worry.
.
A few seconds later, Dib's scream pierced the silence of the neighborhood.
SilverRogue: *sighs* I'm still working on it. If you review this fic, I'll review some of yours. ^_^
