A/N: Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but here's the next chapter. I hope you all enjoy and review!
Chapter 11: Poppy and Charon with a Hint of Malice
Malice peered over an oversized menu plopping a gum that she just placed into her mouth. The waiter walked up to her, asking for her order, but the answer was always the same; "I'm not ready yet, sorry for the inconvenience." If today was a normal day, she would have noticed how cute her server was, or his angelic golden hair. However, today was not a good one for her. Her cousin and the roybel, sat at a table farther from her. Their tables were seperated by a wall and foliage.
"So, what's going on with Malice?" Poppy asked. "Everyone's super worried about her."
"Its not my place to say. You should've just asked her."
"As if she would tell any of us." Poppy scoffed. "I mean, we ARE friends, right. We are just worried about our other friend, can't you tell me about it."
"This is private and personal." Charon said, sitting back in his chair. "You'll just have to trust me in this one."
Poppy leaned forward and grabbed Charon's hand. She gave him a sympathetic look and a shy smile.
"C'mon Charon, how bad can it be?" Poppy asked.
Just as Charon was about to tell Poppy about Malice, a wave of golden energy flew over to him, turning him into a puppy. Malice then ran towards the table scooping her cousin up into her arms.
"What are you doing here, Malice?" Poppy asked, a bit angry.
"Stopping this idiot from telling my personal business to a complete stranger."
"We aren't COMPLETE strangers, we hung out for a week." Poppy stated, sounding proud.
"A week." was all that Malice said, leaving.
"I'm just worried!" was all Poppy said chasing after Malice.
"Then don't go running to Charon acting all lovey-dovey with him!"
As Malice stormed out of the door, Poppy couldn't help but ponder in her words. Was it that obvious that she liked Charon? Sh he slumped her shoulders and sat back down. Maybe if she started acting and dressing like they do, the two of them will accept them.
Meanwhile...
Somewhere, a child ran through the night, barefooted. Her long red pink Kari flowed around her and her scarlet eyes welled with tears.
"Big Brother, where are you?" she cried.
A/N: Hey people, school will open so that's why I'm talking so long with the updates. Especially since I have to attend school early for orientation and crap. The next few chapters will be more interesting and action packed as we explore the dark...never mind. I won't be a spoiler. Anyway, see ya! Review.
