Night Shift

I was swinging my scythe at the air. Tommy was sharpening his axe. We were right outside the palace walls. Normally Ponk and Punz would guard here buttttt, Punz kinda needs a new assistant. I watched as small creatures came and went through the dark. I watched as Tommy danced in place slightly. I groaned. "I told you to go before we left." "Oh come on! How'd you fucking know?" I pointed at him as he did his little dance. There was a murmured shit after I pointed out the dance. "Go ahead."

 I watch as Tommy runs down to the edge of some trees. I went back to swinging my scythe in the air. Something landed at my feet so I picked it up. "The hell..?" I picked it up, it was a piece of paper so I slowly unfolded it. 

The field behind the palace. A week from tonight. Don't be late, Bitch boy. Be here six in the morning.

I read the note over and over again being extremely confused. I heard Tommy coming up the hill so I quickly put the note away trying not to think about it. I watched how Tommy was walking. He was walking all cocky ass with his axe over his shoulder. "Nice piss ey?" I could faintly see Tommy's figure nod. "How'd ya know?" "You're walking all cocky and shit. Like you normally do after you take a good shit or piss." I could tell Tommy was looking at me all janky. "I- well I am a dirty crime boy!" I leaned my scythe against the palace wall and turned to Tommy. "What crimes have you committed?" "Death." "What?" "Nothinnnnggggggg." I glared at Tommy and rolled my eyes. I picked my scythe back up and swung it around a couple times. I must've swung it too close to Tommy cause he jumped back and made a strange noise. "What time is it?" Tommy fidgeted with his sleeve to look at his watch. "We have about an hour left." I groaned, time to wait until Fundy shows up.

I look over at Tommy. His feet are in the air and his head was on the ground. He was leaning up against the wall. I saw two approaching figures and somehow Tommy hadn't. I walked over to Tommy and whispered to him. "There's two people coming. Go stop them." Tommy hopped up and started screaming running towards them. I tried to hold in a laugh. I obviously knew it was Fundy and Punz, but where's the fun in telling Tommy that! Fundy let out a yelp and slapped Tommy. Punz shook his head. "Wil get your weird child away from me!" Tommy suddenly pivoted and ran towards me. I screamed in lowercase. 

Yes lowercase. Ya know? Like 'ahhh', not 'AHHHHH'. Well now you know if you didn't before. Anyways! Where were we? Ah yes, Tommy being a shit.

Tommy punched me in the side. "You bitch! You knew it was them!" "Well duh. I mean, where's the fun in telling you it was them?" Tommy grumbled then stretched. "I'm ready to go the fuck home. I mean we have nothing tomorrow because of how we ran two shifts today." I nodded agreeably with Tommy. "Alright! Have fun Fundy and Punz!" Fundy smiled and held his giant double axe over his shoulder. Punz nodded and adjusted his grip on his trident. "We'll do our best sir." I saluted slightly then grabbed Tommy. We teleported back to the house, which made me even more tired.

I stretched as we appeared in the house. I could hear Phil snoring upstairs. Tommy nd I both slowly and carefully took off our armor. We silently put the armor in the closet below the stairs. Tommy slipped off his shoes and ran to the kitchen. I quickly slipped off mine and ran after him. I sat on a barstool as Tommy grabbed two glasses and filled them with milk. He slid my glass across the counter and I started drinking it. "Thanks dude." My voice was at a whisper trying not to wake Phil. Tommy nodded then grabbed the banana bred from earlier out. He took a knife and chopped a couple pieces off. He handed me a piece. "Thanks." I ate my piece relatively slowly, I mean I had a long day so I was tired. I finished and put my dishes in the sink. "Don't eat too much. Or at least eat something healthier." Tommy looked up at me. "What are you doing?" I yawned. "Going to bed. Also don't stay up too late after that." Tommy rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah. I'll probably watch something on the tv." I nodded and started walking away from the kitchen. 

I arrived in my room and flopped on my bed. Did I feel like changing? Hell no. Was I tired? Hell yeah I was tired as fuck. I raised my head slightly and threw my beanie on the floor. I threw my small pendant on my night stand. Well I mean it was my scythe, but it takes form of a pendant after use. I flipped over and looked at my ceiling. I could hear small noises and a 'fuck' come from down the hall. Tommy must've ran into something on his way to his room. I looked ack at the ceiling. I knew the dream was gonna come but I was so tired from all my work today. I turned onto my right side then quickly to my left. I fucking hated laying on my right side. I stared at my closet. My eyes slowly but surely got heavier. I ended up closing my eyes and slipped into my awful night terrors.

I loved adding the screaming in lowercase bit because why not lol. Also the Tommy having to take a piss bit killed me lol.
