"Hey, what time are you getting here?" Dojiis' roommate asked. Dojii was still on the bus route that stopped directly down the street from the apartment. "Just a few more streets. I'm close. What's wrong?"
"The place is freezing and I believe a demon is gonna get me." This caused a chuckle from Dojii, "It's not funny! If I wind up dead, you'll regret that lil ha ha." Dojii had to laugh it off or she'd feel the same way Kamari does. And she knew that wouldn't help anyone. So, instead, she pushed her fear aside and reassured her friend.
It wasn't comforting that a string of deaths was happening in the neighborhood. Each victim's house being almost completely frozen inside. The victims themselves, as well. *. *. *. *
Just a few minutes later Dojii had got off the bus and started her way down the street. However, for some odd reason, the nights' weather was chillier than normal. This made her regret not wearing a jacket.
Soon she made it to the building. Granny Choi and her grandson Akio were hanging out behind the lobby desk. She never really knew why the building that was a bit small had a lobby or even a lobby desk.
"Is it cold to you guys?" She asked. Granny and Akio shook their head no. "But people have been complaining about their homes being cold around here. I couldn't find anything wrong with the pipes of the building. I've talked to other landlords and the same thing."
Confusion was in Dojiis' face as she listened. She could see the stress in Granny's dementor. "Is your apartment cold too, DD?" She asked. Dojii didn't want to worry her any more than she was already. So for the time being she lied a little. "Yeah, but I think it's because I keep leaving my window open before I go to sleep!" Dojii flashed a smile.
This bounced back onto granny. "Well, tell me if anything's wrong, ok?" Dojii just shook her head and headed up the stairs.
"Oop. Before I forget." The girl on the stairs started to rummage through her Jean pockets. "Akio, catch." She threw caramel pieces of candy at the little boy. He looked up from his game he was playing and then tried to catch all three pieces at once. "Don't worry DD-sama I'll catch them all next time! And then I'll win the bet!"
All Dojii did was let out a light laugh and head to her apartment. * * * *
The sun's warmness hit my face. It felt good, contrasting, that the room was cold. The hardwood floors didn't help either. I didn't want to move from my spot. I was about to go right back to sleep before there was a knock at the door.
