Their last Day
Simone and Marshall continued their journey, even though the woman struggled to keep the young boy happy and healthy and the tiara taking more and more of her sanity she could not give up yet.
They were wondering around as she walked towards a old briefcase "Maybe there is some food in here" She told the half demon as she opened it, shrugging since there was nothing inside only a dead rat.
Simone giggled "Looks like we got ourselves a new cute traveling buddy!" She said jokingly as Marshall shivered in disgust "Eww!" He said as he couldn't help but lo laugh. Simone shrugged as she closed the briefcase.
She continued to look around as she noticed a VHS tape. The ice witch scoffed and stared at it "Wanna watch a movie?" She asked Marshall, before adjusting her glasses even on side the glass is broken "What a boring movie, the book is much better..." Simone said, smiling when she heard the boy laughing again, she threw the tape away when she heard a rustle.
She quickly picked up the boy as she put him in a car "You stay here alright I take care of this!" She whispered and was about to walk away as they boy grabbed her long hair as she yelped in pain "You are not going to put it on are you?" He mumbled, knowing that this thing was changing his best friend and mother figure "Don´t worry sweetie I can control it better now..." The witch lied, she knew she couldn´t as Marshall frowned at her,quickly closing the door as she faced towards where the noices where coming from "Oh Glob, Oh Glob be brave!" She mumbled to herself,with a moment of hesitation she put on the tiara, everything going black for her.
Marshall frowned, watching as Simone flew into the air "YOU WILL NO LONGER SCARE US!" She yelled in a raspy voice she always got when she put on that stupid tiara.
she fired a blast of ice wind at the bush as it knocked a deer that was hiding there out of it, it looked terrified of Simone as she without hesitation startet to blast ice at it, trapping it in a ball of ice as Marshall got out and walked towards Simone "Simone snap out of it!" He yelled as the woman did not even look at him.
"Not now Gertrude mommy is busy here play with the snow, build me a snowman" The older woman said as she waved her hand at him. Making it snow as Marshall Lee shivered when the snow landed on him, before getting a idea and knocking off the tiara with a snowball he made.
Simone fell to the ground as he quickly ran over to her "S-Simone are you ok?" He asked as he looked down at her.
"Y-Yeah I am fine..." The Woman mumbled in a quiet tone of voice.
He then frowned "Y-You were hovering in the air, you are getting worse your hair got longer" He mumbled, being a little scared.
Simone said "Oh did I looked pretty Fly?" She asked as she laughed manically.
"Simone you are scaring me!" Marshall replied as he started to shake.
Simone frowned and shook her head a couple of times to snap out of it, her hair and skin color growing back to the previous size "I-I am sorry did I said something?" She asked sadly, scared that she could of said something harmful.
Marshall Lee sighed, kind of relieved that Simone is now normal again "Promise me you won't put it on again" He mumbled.
The woman nodded and took his small hands in her cold ones "I promise..." She whispered as she got up.
Marshall spoke up "Do you think there are more deers?" He asked.
Simone nodded "Maybe?" She mumbled, Later that night Simone climbed into broken TV, throwing a empty can in front of the boy "Use the remote to turn on the TV" She explained.
Marshall picked up the can, poking it with his finger and making a click sound, Simone appeared as she started to sing the theme song of Cheers one of hair favourite shows back then. Marshall Lee laughed as he poked it again "Mute!" He said as Simone continued to move her mouth but not saying anything. The half demon smiled "You are so silly Simone" He said happily, loving those moments between them.
Simone smiled warmly and walked over to Marshall Lee once she noticed him fall asleep. Putting a blanket above him as she bend over the TV. Starting to fall asleep. After they both woke up she put everything in her backpack, frowning when she noticed that Marshall Lee seemed ill "We have to get you some soup, what do you prefer chicken our tomato soup?" The woman asked as the boy responded "Tomato soup of course I like tomatos" He said with a smile before coughing a little.
Simone frowned more but nodded. Smirking when she noticed a motorcycle as she pulled it out of the bush. The keys where still inside as she turned them, suprised that the bike still worked, She quickly grabbed some helmets that where laying near it as she handed one over to the boy "Ready for a ride?" She asked as she started the bike again as Marshall nodded. However underestimating the acceleration the bike knocked them both off and made a wheelie before driving into a bulding, exploding immediatly "Well new plane" Simone mumbled as she grabbed a wheelchair.
She was pushing the wheelchair as she looked at Marshall Lee "I wrote a song for you wanna hear it?" She asked as she started to sing some random sounds, not having any text in mind.
The boy smiled "Your songs are so good!" He said as Simone stopped immediatly when she saw a grocery store "Maybe there is some tomato soup in here..." She mumbled.
as she walked to the doors, trying to open them "Locked..." She mumbled as she grabbed the wheelchair, throwing it through a window. climbing inside as she kicked the rest of the glass pieces away so it was safe for him "Don't forget Marshie vandalism is wrong..." The older one explained, wanting to keep his spirits high.
as she searched around the store. Sadly she did not find something only some postcards as she sat down, however Marshall frowned "Simone look!" He whispered as he pointed at the mirrior, through the reflection she could see some kind of mutant creature.
"This is bad!" She whispered as she hid before it could see them, she quickly touched the tiara that was attached with a string on her belt, frowning when she saw Marshall Lee shake his head.
"I have to protect us..." She whispered as Marshall Lee yelled "N0!" The creature walked towards them as Simone grabbed the tiara as she stepped out "Stay back!" Simone said as she instead of putting it on used it to hit the creature with it. Somehow killing it as she leaned down as she poked that thing. Some green substance leaking out as she flinched back.
Quickly leaving the store as they walked around a tried river. She then stopped "Wanna have a ride on a old woman´s back?" She asked, wanting him to save his energy.
Marshall Lee shook his head "Simone I can walk I am not a child.." The half demon explained, not knowing why Simone was so worried.
Simone shrugged and leaned down "Some day you will be to big to hold if I am old as garlic balls if someone would ask me if they can carry me, I would do it in a heartbeat..." The ice witch explained in a joking tone.
She then picked him up as he sneezed, SImone quickly used a tissue from her backpack and wiped her face clean "You are gross.." she said jokingly.
Marshall chuckled "You are gross Simone!" The boy pouted playfully as Simone smiled "We are both gross sweetie..." She said as she continued to walk. She eventuelly saw a foodtruck, assuming there must be food in there as she climbed up the bridge that was made out of a pink substance as she looked at the truck.
She frowned and then got angry when she saw the sign "The Clambulance?!" She asked angrily, clenching her fist `I NEED TOMATO SOUP NOT THA `she thought.
"Marshall cover you ears!" She warned as she started to shout every swear word that was in her vocabulary as she kicked the door furiously. However the mutant thing under the truck crawled towards them as she kicked it away, quickly closing the door as she started to push it over the bridge, it fell down as the loud siren started to go off. A whole army of mutants running towards their way as she quickly climbed down. She lost already her backback and used a pillow to distracts them.
But she took the wrong turn as they both got stuck. Marshall Lee frowned "We are toast right?" He asked, Simone shook her head "Not if I have something to say about it!" She said as she put the boy in a car "Simone wait I can fight!" He said, tapping his biceps that did not have any muscle at all. She kissed his forehead as she closed the door.
turning towords the creatures she put on the tiara, forced to break her promise as her hair got longer and her teeth sharper. Also her skin got a shade more blue as she hovered in the air. Singing the theme song of Cheers once again as a attempt to keep her sanity. She quickly dealt with the mutants, using her powerful ice magic as she buried then underneath tons of snow. She quickly smacked the tiara of her head.
Frowning and quickly grabbing the needed soup that was laying on that pink substance that seemed to smile at her. She quickly got into the car "Simone ar-" He mumbled and got interrupted by Simone putting a spoon full of tomato soup in his mouth.
He smiled as he ate it "Are ou feeling better now?" Simone asked in a whisper as Marshall nodded "Much better" The boy replied
Simone hugged him gently,carresing his hair "I love you Simone..." He whispered, Simone without knowing her state of mind got worse replied "I love you too Gertrude..."
