Chapter 8
She danced around the living room to 'Fall Out Boy's Centuries' while cleaning Ghastly's house and shop. She wasn't going to name it anything else because it will always be Ghastly's place, no matter what people say.
"Some legends are told some turn to dust or to gold, But you'll remember me for centuries" she sang at the top of her lungs. Until someone coughed behind her.
"Eiiik" she screamed turning around and seeing Vex in the doorway. "Hey your out of hospital!" she stated before he thought she was weird.
"Yeah, got out this morning, just going around saying hi to everyone before I leave?" he said smoothly
"Leave?" she questioned turning down her music
"Yeah, I need a new adventure, new scene"
"Cool, so where are you going?"
"Everywhere and anywhere?"
"Nice for some" Putting her duster on the sofa. Vex stood sheepishly in the doorway.
"You could come with me you know" she looked up at him shocked
"Ummmm, I think, errrmmm, I don't know" she stammered
"It's okay if you don't you know" he added quickly
"Oh no, I mean, I would it's just I think I'm needed here" she added just as quick "but I really do appreciate the offer though, but y'know" she gestured to her surroundings
"It's okay I understand, I've gotta go now" he said awkwardly, shuffling to the door way
"Sorry" she mumbled
"its okay" he muttered walking out the door. Sitting down on the sofa she thought about her life and what she should do next, with Val going to America and Ghastly... well you know. Vex going on his adventures. She didn't know what she was going to do, she couldn't stay at Ghastly's place for the rest of her life, he must have left it to someone in hi will, a family member or something.
"You hoo" a voice called, And Tanith inwardly groaned all she wanted to do now was sleep.
"In here Saracen" she called
"Well aren't you a bundle of laughs tonight" he joked, resulting in her throwing her duster at him – which he caught and flung back but missed her by a mile.
"That was terrible" she laughed
"Good to see you laughing again"
"It been a while, you seen Vex on your travels?"
"Yeah he told me he was leaving"
"Yeah, Tea?"
"No thanks"
"Well I'm going to make one, make yourself comfy"
"Tanith we're reading Ghastly's will tomorrow" Saracen said in a flat tone
"Ok" she replied quietly, going in to the kitchen and sobbing, she heard Saracen mutter "Sorry" and "Bye" and the front door closing.
Thanks for reading :)
