Pocky Stix
Chapter 2:The Evil Girl Scout
~Senri Shiki~
Rima stood, spellbound. I could tell she didn't know that the little girl's sixth sense was so sharp. She was only about eight years old.
Rima was stuck. It was obvious. "Hmmmm…" I said, in my usual way, thinking. I came up with a sentence to kill the tension and awkwardness. Human minds are very simple to deceive. Rima was hoplessly stuck, I knew I had to help her, so I did. I took a breath. Here goes nothing. "You looked firmiliar. Rima and I thought you were someone we knew."
The girl looked down. "Oh." She said, disappointed. Wow. It worked.
Now that I see her, I could tell she was one of those… girl scouts. She wore a green top with a darker green stripe running down the left side, a matching skirt, a blood-red sash, and a lime-green hat. She looked sad.
"I was hoping you two were lost." She admitted. "I wanted to earn my badge in helping a person find a place. The helper's badge. I really need it, and it's the only one I haven't got." I looked at her sash, and sure enough, there was only spot for one more badge. Then she brightened up. "Hey!" She cried happily. "Would you like some pocky sticks?" "I'm selling them because we need to raise money in our girl scout group so we can go camping! So want some? They're really good!" She looked up at Rima, her eyes eager.
Rima was expressionless. "Okay…" She said.
I didn't do anything. I was neutral.
As we followed the little girl scout, I noticed she brought us to a part of the shop that we couldn't see from the entrance. Halfway there, Rima gave me a Senri,-thank-you so-much!-you're-a-great-friend look. I stared back at her, my face blank. She took that as a sure-no-problem look. I could tell. Rima is very easy to read. I was not, but she usually knew what I was thinking, and she could even read my facial expressions. To others, it didn't seem that I changed, but Rima knew, she always did.
"Here we go!" He little girl scout said cheerfully. She opened a door and inside were piles of dried food. She went over to a pile, pushed off some noodle packages, and revealed the little brown cardboard boxes. The same ones she was eating before, in the park.
"Here you go." She handed Rima five boxes. That's a dollar fifty each. Rima handed the boxes to me, and reached for her wallet. "Here", she said. And handed the girl a five dollar bill, two one dollar bills, and two quarters. The little girl scout nodded as she counted the money. A smile appeared on her face. It looked almost evil.
"You see," she explained. "We're in a storage room. My uncle owns this corner store, and he said that I could sell his stuff, as long as he still got seventy percent profit." She turned away and started hiding the Pocky sticks with the noodles, so it looked the same as it did before. "Anyway… Thanks for sponsoring the Green Girl Scouts!"
Rima and I turned away, and tried to head for home. I put my hand on the door handle and turned… but it was locked. I tried again, unsure if I was dreaming it, although my expression was normal. "Hmmmmm…." I said in my usual tone. "Rima, the door is locked."
Rima turned to the little girl scout, who was standing there. She was holding a knife… Her eyes had turned wicked, her nails had become sharper.
A Level E vampire.
We were tricked. The little girl grinned again. This time I noticed that the smile was evil. She laughed a wicked laugh. "You silly idiot…" and tipped her head sideways to an impossible angle. "Two noble vampires… and I tricked them!"
I handed the Pocky sticks to Rima, who was calm. She grabbed a box, and opened it. I bit my finger. I'm going to end this quickly.
The girl suddenly stopped grinning. She cried in fear. My aura was too strong for her. My blood oozed out and swung around like a whip. Rima watched, and ate a Pocky stick.
"Mmmm…" she said. "It's good."
I looked back at her. "I want one." She handed me one, and I ate it, from her hand. "Mmmmm…" I said. "You're right."
The evil little girl scout was getting angry. I think it was because we were ignoring her. She suddenly thrusted forward, but missed, the knife inches away from my hand.
That's when I killed her, and she became dust.
Rima sighed and said in her normal voice. "Senri… Now how are we supposed to get out?"
I didn't answer her question. Instead I said, "Give me some more."
She did, and this time, I crashed down the wall opposite of the door.
"Let's go." I said.
Rima took a step. "Wait…"
She got a large bag; filled it with all the chocolate pocky sticks she could find and took it with her. "Senri… We need a bigger hole."
"Give me a stick." I said. She fed me another one, and I made it bigger.
We then walked out of the corner store, with a whole lifetime's supply of chocolate pocky sticks.
And that's the end of Pocky sticks! Next chapter(s)(I have no idea how long this is gonna take) :Rima and senri go through school. Next next chapter: They run out of pocky sticks! (so they get more… but how..?) Stay Tuned!
