Chapter Two: New Arrival
Vivian's POV:
The car ride to where ever Murdoc was taking me was long and a bit awkward. I couldn't thank him enough. He was giving me a home, the home I've been needing for years. Finally, someone cared enough about me to help.
After what seemed like hours, we pulled up in front of a huge building on a graveyard. Creepy. "Um, this is your home?" I asked with slight suspicion. "Of course, this is Kong Studios." Murdoc said in that gruff voice. "This is where the rest of me band lives."
"Wow, your band?" I asked. He didn't say anything else, but just opened his door and climbed out. I opened my side somewhat reluctantly, then shut it behind me. The air was chilly, even though it was the middle of summer. It brought shivers down my spine. "Ya comin' or wot?" Murdoc called behind him. "Oh, sorry sir, um, er, Murdoc!" I stuttered as I turned and hurried after him, nearly tripping over my high-heeled boots. Damn things….
Once inside, I felt somewhat safer. But still, I wasn't too sure about meeting new people. I haven't exactly been treated like a princess out on the streets. I followed Murdoc to the kitchen, where I could smell something delicious cooking.
Standing at the stove was a hefty man with cold white eyes. I suddenly became nervous and hid behind Murdoc. The big man turned away from something that was sizzling on the stove. "Hey, who's your new friend?" he asked as he eyed me strangely. It must've been the clothes.
"This is Vivian. Found 'er out on the streets like an abandoned dog." said Murdoc. "I thought she'd like to stay 'ere for a while." The big man looked at Murdoc with no sign of expression. "Since when do you care about other people?" he asked in a deep voice. The voice wasn't scary like Murdoc's though. It was actually somewhat soothing.
Murdoc gave a shrug and stuck his hands in his pocket. "Err, anyway, my name is Russel." He held out a large hand to shake mine. I took it nervously and gave him a weak smile. This wasn't so bad.
Behind me, I heard light footsteps. Another man walked into the kitchen without looking at me or Murdoc. "Oi Russ, wotcha cookin'?" he said in a very soft, girly voice. I quietly looked him up and down. He didn't seem too intimidating. Really tall though, like a tree or something. And kind of thin too. The thing that struck me most was the hair. Blue? That couldn't have been natural.
He turned and faced me, raising an eyebrow. That's when I gasped. His eyes. His eyes were coal black and empty, but still looking at me. I took a step back, bumping into Murdoc. "'ey, easy there, 'e harmless." he said as he put his hands on my shoulders.
The blue haired man smiled at me, showing a huge gap in his teeth that made him look goofy. I would've laughed if I hadn't been scared out of my wits. He stepped forward. "Name's Stuart, you can call me 2D if ya like." he said in a friendly voice. I said nothing, but kept staring into his empty eyes in horror.
"'ey, I ain't gonna 'urt ya." he said more gently this time. He held out his hand and looked at me. I mustered up the courage to take it, though very shakily. He wasn't all that bad. He was actually kinda cute.
"Awright, enough of the sappy greeting shit," said Murdoc loudly, "I'm starvin'!" He went over to the kitchen table eagerly and sat down, not even hesitating to rudely put his feet up on it. Some table manners.
I timidly went to the table as well, taking a seat next to Stuart. As I sat down, I saw in the doorway a teenage girl with purple hair. She gave me a puzzled look, then looked at Stuart. "2D-san, who is this girl?" she asked, not moving from where she was.
Stuart looked at me with a puzzled look. "Good question Noodle, wot is your name?" he asked. I laughed timidly and said, "Vivian." "Ah, so very nice to meet you." said the girl as she came over to take a seat.
"Breakfast time!" said Russel as he brought some steaming plates of food over to the table. It was pancakes and bacon. My stomach growled noisily as the smell hit my nose. "He he, someone's hungry." said Russel, giving me my food first. "Eat up. You can have second when your done."
At last I had a place to call my home. A place where I could eat good food and talk to good people. Life wasn't all that bad anymore.
(A/N:) No, it's not over yet. I'm still adding much more to it, so don't worry. Got another story I'm working on though, so it might be a while before the next update. But I'll get to it as soon as I can. :)
