Monsters of the Night

♪☆Dragon's Flame♪☆

Sky barely noticed Ty walk in. "Ty~" Sky sang. "Where have you been~?"

Ty sighed. "Out~" He sang, his voice going all pitches. Sky went into hysterics, interally, that is. He wouldn't do that to Ty.

He inhaled. Cinnamon. "Ty... why do you smell like cinnamon...?"

"I... uh... I ate a cinnamon pretzel..." He said nervously. His lip twitched. He does that when he's lying.

"Ty. Tell me the truth." Sky scolded slightly.

"I ran into a girl that smelled like cinnamon." He said. Something that looked like blood started to trail down his lip. Ty licked his lips quickly. He thinks I didn't notice.

"Ty, why did you just lick up your own blood?" Sky asked.

Ty's face fell. "Do you know why I never show my teeth or go near mirrors?"

"I just asked why you licked up blo-- oh." Sky realized. "But then why don--"

"Contacts." He responded, a matter-of-fact tone underlining his voice.

There was a beat of silence.

"Uh..." Sky mummered to himself. "Awkward silence..." He whispered.

"Yeah." Ty whispered back.

"Hey, Ty." He whispered again.

"What?" Ty asked softly.

"Why are we whispering?"

Ty looked at him straight in the eyes, Sky expected him to say, "I don't know." Instead what came out of Ty's mouth was: "You're a dumbass, that's why."

Then again, Sky didn't know why he expected Ty to say something else.

"I get a head start." Ty announced.

"What?"

"I. GET. A. HEAD. START."

"For what?!"

Instead of an answer, he got ignored as Ty bolted up the staircase.

"BULLSHIT! I CAN'T RUN AS FAST AS YOU!" Sky screamed after Ty, sprinting up the flight of stairs.

"Get better then. Nub." Ty taunted. "By the way, did I finally get a friggin apprentice?"

"Some girl named Chasity Dallis, never heard of her. Hey, why'd you stop?" Indeed, at the mention of 'Dallis', Ty had for froze up.

"Chestnut hair, green highlights. One red eye, one hazel eye?" The vampire turned to face Sky.

"How did you-- you know what? Fuck it, I don't wanna know."

"Cinnamon girl." Ty stated simply.

Sky didn't know what the hell Ty was talking about. "Her name's Chasity, not Cinnamon Girl." Then he realized. "She's the one you ran into." It was a statement, not a question.

"Yeah." He confirmed. "Pretty sure she's a half-blood."

"She'd better watch out for Voldemort."

"..."

"What? He hates half-bloods. It's a reasonable concern."

Sky couldn't tell whether or not Ty got the joke. "You have no sense of humor." Sky said.

"No, it'd just be funnier if she was actually killed by Voldemort." He was pokerfaced.

Sky momentarily wondered how he and Ty became friends on Runescape. He quickly banished the thought. "Ty, you're one fucked up dude."

"I've noticed." Ty stated, bolting up the stairs again. "Going to bed!"

"G'night!" Sky called after Ty. He inwardly sighed.

It was eerily quiet. Sky thought he was paranoid when a distinct sound of a plate dropped. His heartbeat sped up.

He calmed his breathing, "It's probably just one of the maids or something." He didn't entirely convince himself.

Only when a girl -probably a bit younger than Sky- stepped out of the long, dark hallway. "'Ello. Name's Dragon. I fear we have to leave soon, if you don't want to die, that is."

Then Sky noticed how fucked he really was when a blue-haired boy dropped from the ceiling. "'Fraid she's right."

Time slowed down for him.

Which was really frustrating since he couldn't exactly move quickly.

So, he took time to look at them.

Dragon has, quite literally, blazing orange hair, golden eyes and tan skin to pull the picture together.

The guy also has flaming hair, only difference is that it's blue. Electric blue eyes and his pale, olive skin was in contrast to Dragon.

Time resumed normally. "Don't even think of running. We welded the door together." The boy said. "Don't think of calling for help either, we put everyone here in a trance. Even that boy that just left, Ty, was it? He has a stronger build, mentally and physically."

"In case you were wondering, this is Flame, he's my big bro! Also, it's not like we're giving you our real names." Dragon said.

In light of this, Sky asked the most stupidest question, "Do I get last words?"
