Chapter Five – Devlin
A little later (HI! I'm feeling boring…)
Kriss leaned against the wall on one side of her alley, sitting on her dumpster strumming random chords on her guitar. Thorn sat quietly next to her, waiting to see if she was actually going to play something.
Kriss put her guitar down and picked up the bag. She took out the laptop and turned it on.
"Greetings," It greeted her as the screen came into focus.
"Damn thing is too proper…" Kriss complained.
Thorn went to sleep.
Kriss scoffed.
She clicked into solitaire and started playing a game.
After she finished winning her fifth game in a row, someone left the arcade.
"See ya later Devlin!" Some guy called.
"See ya!" Called back, 'Devlin.'
He stopped in front of her and just stared for awhile.
What do you want?" She growled.
"Why are you out so late on a school night?" He asked.
"What's it to you?" Kriss shot back.
"Nothing, but why?" He pressed.
"Because I live here, and I don't go to school," Kriss told him.
"Ahhh, runaway?" He asked.
"From the Hell House," Kriss resumed playing her solitaire game.
"Want to crash at my place for awhile?" he asked.
"Why are you being nice to me?" Kriss asked.
"My half sister ran away and now we have to clue where she is… I'm worried, even though I never knew her…" He sighed.
"I'm sorry, but I'm fine right here," Kriss replied.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"I'll manage," Kriss responded.
"Okay…" He said, as he finally walked away.
Thorn growled at her.
"What!" She asked, throwing her arms up.
Down the street the dude stopped and listened to the following conversation:
"I know, I know! Geez, don't bite my head off!"
Silence.
"Hey! If you wanna go, be my guest, I'm not stopping you!"
Silence
"I don't care!"
Silence.
"Fine…"
Kriss turned off her laptop and put it back in the bag. Then she jumped down from the dumpster and grabbed her guitar, slinging it over her shoulder as she turned the corner out of her alley, Thorn at her heels.
"Change your mind?" The guy asked.
"He made me" Kriss pointed at Thorn.
"I heard," He replied.
"Snoop," Kriss responded.
And so they walked for awhile, Kriss the whole time wary of police and other things that want to kill her.
"So, who are you anyways?" Kriss asked after awhile.
"Oh yeah! Duke Devlin. Creator of-"
"Dungeon Dice Monsters, yeah I know, I read it in the paper," Kriss said.
"You read the paper?" Duke asked.
"I have a lot of free time…" Kriss joked.
"I'm sure you do," Duke said.
"Yeah!" Exclaimed Kriss.
"So why did you run away?" Asked Duke.
"That, my friend, is very complicated," Kriss exasperated.
"Oh, my sis ran away because she was mad at our mom…" Duke said, "I've always wanted to meet her, but I don't know if I ever will. Mom always goes out looking for her though; sometimes I go with her, just so I can meet my sister."
"I was sorta mad at my mom too, but she's psychopath so I'm good," Kriss told him.
"Oh."
They walked awhile longer, until they reached what looked like a shop that hadn't yet opened yet. Kriss peered in. It looked like a game shop.
"This is us," Duke said shyly.
"You live in a game shop?" Kriss asked. Duke nodded. "Hot damn!that's cool!" She said excitedly.
Duke just stared.
"What?" Kriss asked him.
"Did you just swear?" He asked.
"Yeah, why?" Kriss challenged.
"Nevermind…" Duke said.
They went in. Kriss had never been in an unopened building before, it was actually really cool!
"wow…." She whispered softly, making a complete 360 degree rotation to see everything in the shop.
"Upstairs," Duke said.
"What's upstairs?" Kriss asked.
"Where I live," Duke explained.
"Oh…" Kriss said. She followed Duke up the stairs. Sorry to leave the cool looking shop; vowing to be back later.
FEAR THE SHORTNESS! The next might be longer…. Don't know for a fact though… OH WELL! XDDDDDDDDD
