"You know, when I said I wanted something to eat, that didn't mean I was this hungry." I was almost to the point of doing one of those anime sweat drops that the characters do with the amount of food that the twins, the old man, and the cat – who had reluctantly started gathering the food as well after getting yelled at by the geezer – had gathered. It was enough to feast a large castle. That's including guests from about thirty other lands. A lot of it was carnival food but it was an assortment of things. Then I noticed a certain bag of candy and noticed the twins and the cat noticing it as well. I snatched it before anyone else could and opened it up, unwrapping the heavenly chocolate and popping it in my mouth. "My Reese's." I glared back at the glaring cat as the twins whined and pouted. "Anyways, what're your guy's names?" I asked while unwrapping another candy.
"Hm? Oh, how rude of us! Anyways, the name's Gowland." I raised an eyebrow, that's the guy with the weird name? Must've sucked growing up like that. "The two brats over there are Dee and Dum." He pointed at each of the two kids as they grinned back at me. "And the stray right here is-"
"Boris Airay, now I'm gonna go see if I can find Pier-Ah! There he is!" and kitty boy was gone and running in a direction that I heard a squeak coming from. I didn't care to turn around to find out was going on.
"Help, the evil cat is back! Help me!" a fading voice yelled from behind me. I took another chocolate from the bag and unwrapped it, about to pop it into my mouth, when it was snatched by a hand. I glared at Dee as he tossed it into his mouth before sighing.
"It's gone now, no sense in beating him up." I muttered to myself, simply getting another and unwrapping it.
"So, miss, you never told us your name." Gowland said, watching as Dum took the next candy out of my hand. This time I punched him on the head as he retreated.
"Hah? Oh, sorry. I'm used to everyone knowing my name. You can call me Kat." I said as I got another candy, turning my body away from the twins so I could eat my Reese's in peace. Gowland raised his eyebrow towards me.
"As in the animal?"
"Yeah, I got the nickname from how I used to fight. It's how I started fighting, people said I looked exactly like a cat turned human with how I moved. Then I stopped really fighting for a while to get my parents off my case. It didn't help that they sent me to a Christian school where no one can fight so I felt like I was kinda cheating by fighting them. I prefer clean fights myself but it's not as fun as when it's dirty." I grinned, remembering a lot of different fights I've gone through. Especially my favorite one. That is, until I accidentally killed my uncle in it. That was more the reason why I stopped than anything. My grin faded as that thought came into my mind and I went back to my Reese's.
"So, you can fight huh, sis?" One of the twins asked.
"Yeah, so what?" I asked back, concentrating on my candy rather than them.
"You thinking what I'm thinking bro?" I glanced over my shoulder, noticing the looks the twins were giving each other.
"Yup." They readied their axes as if they were gonna swing at me, their feet spread shoulder width apart, both of them staring at me with a glint in their eyes.
"You gotta be kidding me." I groaned, placing the half empty Reese's bag in my messenger bag, which I placed on the ground, before turning towards them.
"Ready?" Dee asked, pulling his ax even further back.
"Go!" Dum exclaimed as they both swung their axes towards me.
I only thought one thing as I attempted to dodge.
Crap!
Sorry about the short chapter, I had to get this one out before my aunt decided to kidnap my sis and I for a week. It's upsetting because I was planning to spend the week typing this story. Unfortunately, fate hates me and decided I'd go to a place that I can't type anymore of the story. I'm so sorry~! I hope you forgive me for something I can't control…
Yours faithfully (even if I'm taken away),
Nightmare
