In Memoriam

Keep Out

Rickey laid on his bed in his room, after having slammed his door shut hard enough to rattle the windows. Metal music blared throughout his room loudly enough to be heard through the house. "Didn't peg you for a death metal fan." he heard a woman's voice say beside him. He jumped slightly and looked over to see Meri kneeling on his bed. She placed a hand gently on his chest and pushed him back down. "Chill, I'm not here to hurt you." she said while smiling. He looked down at her hand and quirked. "Doesn't mean I won't hurt you. Don't fucking touch me." he said, as he looked up at her angrily. Meri pulled her hand back and tilted her head to the side. She sighed and looked around his room. "God I wish my house was as nice as your room." she said. He rolled his eyes and sighed heavily, making sure she would know she was annoying him. "Why are you in my room? On my bed? How did you get in, anyway?" he asked. She bounced slightly on his bed, catching him off guard and causing him to sit up. "I came in when you came in. Not my fault you don't pay attention." she said. "It's weird that you're on my bed. Get off." he said quickly, motioning for her to leave. A wicked grin crossed her face and she moved quickly to sit on top of him, straddling him. "If you insist." she said. A low growl came up from his chest and throat as he glared at her. He placed his hands on her waist and moved closer to her face. She smiled slyly and moved closer to him, her eyes beginning to shine. Without warning he flung her to the side and a loud thud was heard as she landed on the floor. "Gross." he whispered loudly. She stood up angrily and stared at him, he gave her a side glance in return. "Get out." he said flatly. "This isn't over." she said. She turned from him and began walking to his door, flinging it open without unlocking the locks and chains that had kept it shut tight, breaking each one as the door ripped open. Rickey glared at her as she walked out.

Rickey's broken bedroom door opened again and Raven walked through, shutting it behind him. "You have to hide me." Raven said. Rickey sat on the end of his bed, his head in the palm on his hand. "I fucking hate all of you. Get out of my room." Rickey said. Raven ran to the other side of Rickey's bed and kneeled down, trying to hide behind it. Rickey looked behind him at Raven and put his hand out in confusion. "What are you doing?" Rickey asked. Raven pointed to the door, "It's that girl. Did you see her face?" he asked. Rickey narrowed his eyes at Raven. "Oh, you mean the Jaws shit going on? I thought you guys were getting on wonderfully?" he asked Raven sarcastically. Raven shook his head quickly. The bedroom door flung open and Meri stood in the doorway, her face twisted and contorted. Rickey screamed loudly and rolled backwards off his bed, falling next to Raven. "What the FUCK, man?!" Rickey yelled. Raven remained hiding behind Rickey's bed and Rickey began punching Raven in the arm, who in turn punched his brother back. "Boys, there's no need to fight over me." they heard Meri say. They looked up to see her standing on Rickey's bed above them, her mouth gaping abnormally wide in an open smile. Evil was walking by Rickey's room and looked in, seeing Meri standing on Rickey's bed. "What's going on?" Evil asked. Meri turned to him, her face still distorted and smiling. Evil jerked upright at the sight of this. "Uh-uh." he said, as he shook his head and continued walking past the room. Taking the chance, Rickey grabbed Raven and threw him at the window. Raven quickly open the window and jumped out of it. Rickey stood and began to head for the window as well, but Meri grabbed him by his hair and pulled him back. "Shit. You stupid bitch-" he started to say. She threw him forward, as he fell into the large clawed bathtub in his room by the window. She jumped from his bed and landed with each foot on either side of the tub, standing over him.

Rickey looked up at her and sneered up at her. He gave up and stretched out in the tub, placing his arms up on either side of the tub and shrugging. "You got me." he said. She smiled down at him and her face began to change back to its normal shape, her mouth returning to a small pout. She leaned down and put her hands on either side of the tub, pulling her legs in and sitting on him. She stared at his face, her green eyes shining again. Rickey rolled his eyes. "Look, if it keeps you away from Raven, do whatever." he said, looking off to the side. Meri moved closer to his neck, baring her fangs. She felt something cold against her neck and pulled herself back. Rickey noticed her pull away and looked forward to see Raven holding a karambit knife against her throat. "I like you, Meri. But, if you touch him, we'll find out if you can survive decapitation. I think you've worn out your welcome." Raven said. She stood up in the tub, as Raven kept the knife against her throat. "You're right." she said. She looked down at Rickey, who was smiling up at her. Raven pulled her out of the tub and lead her toward the bedroom door. Rickey waved at her as they left, then got out of the tub, looking at his broken door locks. "How do you fairy proof a room?" he asked himself quietly. Raven walked Meri to the front door and opened it. "Get out." he said, looking into her eyes furiously. "I thought you would want me to stay? Your sister said..." she said. Raven shook his head. Evil walked up to them. "It doesn't matter what Ami says. This is my house and I'm also telling you to leave." Evil said, crossing his arms. Meri turned to Evil with an obvious plea in her eyes. "I don't know why I keep going after him, there's something about him that just...he makes me so angry and that makes me hungrier than I've ever been. Just being around him makes me angry." she said, trying to explain. Evil looked at Raven and quirked. "All the more reason for you to leave, Meri." Raven said. She kept her eyes on Raven as she walked out of the front door and whispered "I'll find you." to him before the door was closed.
