The wind blew through my hair on the metal steps and I looked around nervously I couldn't sleep tonight everything that was just said by silver and sunshine went through my head. I looked down and let my brown hair cover my face.
I lit up a smoke and looked up at the moon..it was chilly out..and it was comfortable at the same time. I blew out the grayish tinted smoke and saw silver coming back with a pleased smile on her face I remember from school after girls at school got laid like they couldn't help themselves. I snorted in derision I tried it once but I didn't enjoy it and it didn't take over my life.
I watched her waltz inside and heard her come upstairs I kept my place acting like nothing happened at all. I flicked the ash off the cigarette and I heard a door open and close and I heard spots sleep filled voice.
"silveh?...where ya been?" he asked and silver gasped in shock and I heard a thump from a boot.
"takin a walk spot..dont ya worry" she said and I cringed as I heard spot get angry.
"you smell like anotheh man!" he yelled and I sighed and shook my head..she was so stupid sometimes.
"whats it to ya spot?..ya cheated on me multiple times!" she yelled crazily and she sounded paranoid.
"no ise didn't! I only did it once and haven't since! Get outta heah!" he yelled and I cringed at the razor edged sound to his voice.
"FINE!" she yelled and I heard things being thrown around and I heard her stomp into the girls room and I snuck atleast attempted to go past spots window and it opened making me jump in surprise and almost fell over.
"Cannon?" he asked confused and I looked over at him and sighed a bit leaning against the railing and the girls window was shut..shit..no escaping it now.
"howdy spot nice night" I said cheerfully and he looked at me annoyed his eyes like ice…numb..and blank..and if I looked closer I saw sorrow..a deep rooted lonliness.
"yeah..ise guess" he said softly and I grinned at him and scratched my nose which I do when things get awkward.
I turned my back to him and leaned on the railing looking out at New York City it was beautiful yet..dark..darker than ever before. I kept smoking and looked at spot he was leaning against the wall and was smoking staring out a blank look on his face.
"you hoid everytin?" he asked making me tense up at his soft voice and I looked at him nervously.
"yes..but I wont say anything don't worry.." I said looking out tossing the stub out over the railing and watched it fall.
"good.." he said coming to a conclusion and I looked back at him and he sighed "I loved her ya know..and I messed up..she changed a lot after that.." he said grabbing a bottle from beside himself he took a swig and sighed a bit.
"what are youse drinkin?" I asked him and he looked at the bottle with a laugh it was dusty on the outside and a big bottle.
"rum" he said simply and my mouth watered I did drink that a few times and I loved it.
"really?..can I have a swig?" I asked him and he nodded at me I took the glass bottle and looked at the rusty colored liquid and took a swig of it and relished the burn in my throat. I looked at spot levelly and smirked at him pushing my brown hair from my face.
"youse okay dere cannon?..you look spooked" he said tipping his head to the side making some of his hair fall into his face. I couldn't help but want to push it away..
"yes im fine…dont worry.." I said slightly unsure myself spot looked at me closely and I sighed looking away. "we better get some sleep..we have a big day of sellin tomorrow" I said softly looking at him he nodded and let me climb in through his window. I went to leave and spot grabbed my arm making me turn towards him and he looked down at me and went to say something.
"uhh…nevermind..goodnight cannon" he said looking away from me…he looked defeated and nervous…what is wrong with him?...anyway I have bigger worries right now..i need to figure out how to keep spot alive and knowing him it wont be easy at all.
"goodnight spot..sweet dreams.." I said leaving his room and heading into the bunkroom where silver was passed out on the bunk above me and I slid into mine and curled under the blankets my mind wondering what spot was going to say…it cant have been bad or something to do with silver did it?...oh well..time to get some sleep before I get cranky..
I was walking along the streets of NYC in the 21st century I looked around and saw a figure leaning against the wall as cars passed by me.
"Amber..youse need ta get closer ta me..ise don't know whats happening but my memories are changing..and I am not sure if I like it..and your being too skittish..youse need ta relax around me..be cocky..be difficult" Spot said floating in front of me and I gulped looking up at him.
"spot its getting difficult and more twisted then you would like to think..i am trying to get used to the past first.." I said angrily and he looked at me amused.
"you already have my deah..just treat carefully..youse know how ta play pokeh right?" he asked and he lit a phantom cigarette making me sigh.
"yes unfortunately I do…why?" I asked suspicious and he grinned at me and let the smoke billow out of his mouth like a crude mist framing and billowing around creepily.
"well…play pokeh on Friday wid da …get my attention so ta speak.." he said winking and I looked at him weird.
"are you somehow trying to get me in bed with you spot?..." I asked tipping my head to the side slightly annoyed with him and I pushed my hair back from my face.
"no no no..just becoming a friend…especially since silver is being a bitch.." he said shaking his head "and I know sometin is off with her…she cheated on me cannon..and ise don't like it" he said glowering in the direction towards where the loding house should be.
"are you always going to be stalking me in my dreams?" I asked him curiously as a panda ran past me getting chased by a baboon who was purple and the panda was yellow and red.
"uhhh ise not so sure any more..dat was weird" he said tipping his head to the side as bananas danced their way through the street singing its raining men.
"ummm yeah when I drink before bed I usually get weird dreams…anyway..anything else I should be aware of?" I asked and he looked at me seriously snapping his gaze from the bananas to me.
"beware of sunshine..not everyone is easy to attack cannon you need to learn how to use a knife, slingshot, and your fists better..ask me foih help on dat…or get in good with silver and ask for her help or my sister maple.." he said I looked at him weird.
"are you two twins?" I asked and he sighed smacking his forehead
"yes…we are twins..now please try to get some help with your fighting..use what you know as your advantage you only have two months to save me.." he said shaking his head amused
"fine fine fine..ill focus and ask for help" I said swallowing my pride "ill sue what I know..now anything else?" I asked and he stopped floating and stood in front of me and looked me over he seemed to become full bodied..
"now as to what ise wanted back den..it was pretty clear but not easy to ask a loose cannon.." he said softly leaning forward and kissing me softly and pulling away. "youse intriguing me cannon and I am liking it so far…don't disappoint me..i can see you have a good place in dat time..dont lose it." He said smirking and turning around leaving me stunned to the core..spot..ghost spot..just kissed me! IN MY DREAM! NOT FAIR!
I stomped my foot annoyed and shook my head at spts antics some things never change…and apparently death hasn't changed spot one bit!..now I need to come up with a plan…
"what am I going to do?...i cant fall for him!" I muttered and I saw a spork in a cape and a spoon and a fork running down singing carryin da banner…damn I need to stop drinking before bed!
