Arkwood

Chapter 15

I tried to keep my breathing normal at all costs. No wonder this place was deserted. No wonder those people kept looking at me funny. I tried not to show fear on my face. There was definitely a reason why his eyes are red. There was definitely a reason why his skin is pale.

" Uh-I'm looking for somebody. " I spoke up gazing at the guy before me.

" Oh. Who?" He asked still with a genuine smile on his face.

The way he spoke so flawlessly even made me panic even more. I tried thinking of solutions why he would have those fangs-perhaps he bought it at a costume store but no- if he could speak perfectly like that. It also looked too real. Way too real.

" I-I don't know his name but he-he has pink hair and bu-blue eyes. " I said still trying to hide my fear.

" Uhm , let me think. " He drifted off into thought.

" Judging by your descriptions , is he a fairy? " He asked staring deep into my eyes.

The sketch Sebastian drew showed the pink haired dude having wings. So I think in this world , he'd pass on as a fairy.

" Uh ye-yes. " I nodded , still trying to breathe properly.

" Hm. Fairies are rarely around this part of the town," He drifted off into thought again.

" Wait , are you from around here?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.

I didn't know what to say. If I say yes , he would probably send to do something and I wouldn't even know where the heck that place could be. If I say no , he'd probably kidnap me.

" Yes , I'm from around here. " I said with the most bravest face I could.

" Oh , then go to the other antique shop a few steps from here. I believe the guy there would help you.  " He said with a smile.

" Oh , thank you so much. You helped me so much. " I said before walking towards the exit of the shop.

Then I heard him chuckling.

Then it became into an audible laugh.

God , if I'm dying today , please forgive all my sins. I know I may have been mean to Jay but please forget all of that. He's an entire angel.

I turned around with a confusing expression on my face.

" What's funny?" I said , trying to keep a straight face.

He left his counter chuckling until he reached a few steps away from me.

" Please-ease don't do anything stupid. " I said already showing my fists in display. I was ready to show punches within a few seconds.

" You know you could have just said you are not from around here. I wouldn't have killed you for telling the truth. " He said trying to keep himself from laughing again.

" Wha-at? I am from around here!" I said still showing my fists.

" Then tell me , which other antique shop do you know besides this one in this town? Cause from what I know , the antique shop you're in , is the only antique shop in this town."

Oh flippin' nuggets. He really got me. But I won't back down.

" I thought somebody built a new antique store. I don't go to-to town often. But I know where other shops are. " I defended myself.

He raised his eyebrows then nodded.

" Where is the butchery then?" He asked with a serious face then.

" I won't let you bombard me with questions! " I shouted back , my fists covering my face this time.

" Alright. Let's get this over and done with. What are you doing here in Arkwood?" He said crossing his arms.
