The Day The Town Got Killed

ProtecTION

Chapter 3

[Richie, worn out from running, finds himself at Eddie's home, which is conveniently spotlighted by the bright Cuban moon.]

Richie- Here.

[The distant sound of sea shanties echoed from the house. Richie wondered if this was the right place]

[Richie sees a tall woman inside, she was dancing around happily. It reminded him of when Daddy used to play Chopin at 10 am for him]

[Richie makes eye contact with the woman, her eyes a piercing blue]

Richie- Shit.

[The woman opens the door]

She-Ra- You there, little boy, who are you?

Richie- Um, I'm here for uh...

She-Ra- Oh! I must seem pretty threatening right now, give me a sec.

[Suddenly, a blur of bright light surrounds her, it was brighter than the Cuban sun, and a smaller woman emerged from the light]

Adora- There, is that better?

Richie- Oh um, yeah.

Adora- Well there's no use being out here in the cold, come on in. Are you here for Eddie? Is he finally making friends?

Catra- [Appears in the doorway, light surrounding her like the hot Cuban Sun.] Dora, who is it?

Adora- I think he's a friend of Eddie's.

Richie- Yeah um, I have something to tell him, it's urgent.

Catra- Yeah, he's in his room. Down the hall to the right.

[The hall was filled with many framed photos of magical looking people. There was a shorter woman with purple and pink hair, a tall boy with a bow and arrow, a girl who seemed to be held up by her hair, someone with claws for hands, and many other strange characters. Richie was especially fascinated by the picture of Eddie with a scrawny blonde haired boy. Was that Kyle?]

Richie- [knocks on the door] Eddie? Can I come in?

Eddie- Richie is that you? Come in!

Richie- [Opens the door, Eddie's room was covered in band/artist posters such as Earth Wind and Fire, My Chemical Romance, Nsync*, Queen, and Whitney Houston. Eddie sat upon his bed in a striped silk pajama set, with light blue slippers adorning his feet. The bright Cuban moon peaked through his curtains. ] Hey Eddie. Is that a My Chem poster? I love those guys!

Eddie- Oh yeah haha!

Richie- Wow, I uh, had no idea you liked them.

Eddie- Oh haha, it's no big deal. What are you doing here exactly?

Richie- I have to warn you about something.

Eddie- Why? Is something wrong?

Richie- Yeah, you know my friend C right?

Eddie- I'm familiar.

Richie- He told me he wanted to um, kill you?

Eddie- What.

Richie- Yeah he just like, told me. I wanted to warn you.

Eddie- Richie stop fucking around.

Richie- I'm not fucking around.

Eddie- I think you need to leave, you're being crazy.

Richie- No Eddie just believe me I'm trying to protect you.
