Day 8: Meeting a Mummy

You woke up groggy. Your hair really needed to be brushed out as you ran your fingers through it. You had completely forgotten you and Devin had slept on the couch until you had that annoying pressure on your chest when you sleep on that floor. Wait. You only get that on the floor though? .. you had fallen off. You looked up to see your pillow up on the couch. You sat up leaning your head up onto the couch cushion. You closed your eyes and sighed. "Wakey wakeyyy~" Devin said. "What do you need?" You responded. "Get up, todays gonna be cool." He said, preparing some eggs for both of you. "Like what?" You got up to brush yourself off and start getting ready. "Well, Joey invited me over to his house today." He said. "So we're going to his house for today? His room smells like a pig sty." You jokingly said, rounding a corner and going to head upstairs as Devin called out. "Ah ah ah. IM going to his house. Your going to hang out with your buddy today." "My buddy?" "Gonner? Did you already forget about him?" He said. You peeked your head back around the corner." Wait, why?" You Said. "You obviously don't want to be home alone, so you guys are going out together today." "Don't phrase it like that." You said, going upstairs to brush your teeth, hair, the tiniest bit of makeup, a new outfit, etc. you wore some light blue pants with a beige sweater that puffed at the sleeves. It had a pretty flower design that you liked. You put on white socks and a chunky ring your father had gifted you for a special occasion of sorts. You had forgotten what for though. You ran downstairs, almost tumbling down them while missing the second step. You laughed and made your way to steal devins plate of eggs. "Hey, you scoundrel." He jokingly said as he put the other one on a plate and turned the stove off. He sat down as you both ate. "So. Me and Gonner spoke this morning." Devin said. "He came over this morning?" "Yeah, we both watched you fall off the couch, I laughed so hard, even he started to snicker too!" "Dudeeee" you said, getting red." Anyways, we discussed how today would go, since I have to go somewhere today. Me and Joey are going to go get jobs. " "really? Wow." You said. "Yeah, so today your staying with Gonner. He said he had to meet up with someone today though." You were surprised to hear that. It might've been the girl you spoke to yesterday.. "hey, you here?" Devin said, waving his hand in your face. "Huh?" You said. "You zoned out. By the way, if we do get the job at the 7/11 next to our school, you gotta head over there after classes to see me. It'll be soo dreadful." He said." Fine." You got up to put yours and devins plate away. You said you wanted to get some stuff for today and pack it. You got a spare backpack once again and got your phone, keys, water, some snacks, a flashlight, and snuck another knife of your fathers just in case anything were to happen where you needed protection. You got your shoes on, and looked noticeably higher. Just by a bit though. These shoes were plain looking though. Might aswell paint them later. You raced downstairs, turning the corner so fast you fell down. Devin started laughing as he helped you up and continued tying his shoes. You and Devin decided to go out the back door. "You don't know the way to where gonner stays, do you. " "nope" devin said. "That's why I woke up at the dead of midnight to get youuu.." he went behind the shed. "Your own bike!" He said, pulling out a fairly nice looking bike out of the back. "No way." "Yes way" he said. You squealed a squeak so loud you thought mars could hear you. "Try it out on the lawn." He said as you got on. You were a little wobbly at first but got the hang of it soon after. " Finally, I can run over Dixie " you said, making car noises as devin laughed hysterically. "Okay okay, you good to go by yourself?" "Yeah. Thanks so much for the bike though, it's awesome." You said, getting off to hug devin. He hugged you back, saying it was no problem. He locked the back door and headed to the side to get his bike as you both said goodbye. You rode off to the edge of the woods. You got your flashlight out and shoved it into a place in the bike facing forward so you didn't have to hold it. You got over the curb and sped off, going slower after seeing a bunch of hazards. It was always dark here, no matter the weather. "Weird " you muttered to yourself. It had taken around 6 minutes to get the the sight of the graveyard. You didn't see a huge root sprouting out of the ground, Inevitably falling off your bike. You shouted as you face planted into the leaves ahead. You got up to see blood from somewhere. You looked at your hands, they were fine. You touched your face. You got to a spot on your left cheek where you felt a sharp sting. You looked at your hand. It was bloody. "Damnit." You said, getting up. You were dirty now. "Why me." You said, desperately dusting off your pants. You got your bike and parked it in the graveyard entrance. "Helloo, Gonner. I'm hereeee!" You shouted as you sat down on the log where you had met the zombie. After a while, you scrolled through your phone to see a number of comments on your post about Dixie being a jerk to you. " dang, never thought of her that way till now!" "Nice photoshop dingus." "Dixie hasn't changed to be honest, I've known her for a while." - school kids. You checked the time, it was around 8 now. You got tired of waiting. You got up and went to the second entrance of the graveyard, which you didn't notice was there until just now being curious. It was more dead trees, darkness and just. Yellowish greenish color in general. "Aye matey, I be sorry I'm late. It be hard to wake up sometimes after falling back asleep." You heard a familiar voice say. You turned around to see Gonner approaching you. He looked up to see your face. "Aye, what happened there lass?" He said, stopping and examining the cut you had sustained by the fall. "Just a cut, nothing bad." "Nothin bad? Tis be looking infected if not treated." He said. He had a point, it was probably super dirty from touching it. It also did burn a bit. "I guess.. " you said, grabbing the water from your bag and splashing a bit on the wound to get it clean a bit. "Did ye have a fall?" He asked, "yeah" you said, as you made the effort to not freak out due to the stinging on your face. "We do be busy today though. We gotta go see Isis, in the other graveyard." He said, as you put your water away.  "There's another graveyard?" "Yep, just down this pathway," the pirate said, gesturing down the pathway that you had not ventured out to before. "Oh" you said. " do I bring my bike with us or no" you asked. "Perhaps but the thing behind the tree there. It's big enough it hide em" Gonner suggested as you followed through with the plan. He started walking down the path as you did a slight jog to catch up with him. " so, what's isis like?" You asked to break the silence. The air had gotten colder and the sky had lost its green yellow tint, it now had a light blue tint to the forest. You found it pretty. "Ah, isis. She tends to have bad luck follow the lassie everywhere. I feel horrible for her sometimes, but I can't help but give out a chuckle every once a while!" He explained. "That must suck... " you said. It got quiet again. "I spoke to devin last night Y/N. The lad mentioned you undoubtedly had feelings for a pirate like me." Gonner said after a hard 8 minutes of silence and no noises. Only walking. "What?" You said, not knowing what to expect. " Ah it's nothin. We just friends anyway. I wouldn't want to ruin it for ye." He said, looking forward scoffing at himself. "... it's totally fine. I just.. I have mixed feelings, I don't want to be broken again like last time... he seemed nice but bam, tried to kidnap me.. look... I genuinely like you as a .." you didn't know how to phrase it. "I understand. It's hard for ye to say stuff sometimes but I know what you mean. It's my fault for bringing it up in the first place. " he said. "No it's not. It's just something we probably need to discuss when we're not going knee deep in muck unless we jump across.." you said. "Ah, didn't know that was here." Gonner said. "Might of been from a storm." You suggested. "Most likely. Can ye jump ?" He said. "Maybe. I'm not sure." You said. Gonner jumped across. It looked so easy. "Here, I'll catch ye." He said, stabling his feet and reaching his arms out. "Okay.." you said, you closed your eyes and jumped so hard across. You thought you didn't make it until you opened your eyes mid jump to see you would possibly make it to Gonners arms. You landed, but almost slipped into the muddy hole. Gonners arms wrapped around you as his feet had caught onto a root sticking out of the ground. "Woah there, don't want ye to be more uncomfortable then you already are lassie. " he said, laughing as you stared with a frightened expression on your face. He let you go once you both knew you were safe. You made a  face until Gonner spoke again. "It should be just up ahead me hearty" "cool" you stated. It looked more mossy then the graveyard you were familiar to. Gonner pushed the gates open, "I'm hereeee, Isissss!" He shouted. Before he went in, he told you to stay by the gates becuase she was very skeptical of people before getting to know them.  You peeked over the rocks you sat behind and saw a figure in a cloak. "Where were you! I had thought you left me you meanie!" The person shouted at Gonner, punching them slightly in the stomach which revealed their face. It was a girl, around your age atleast. She was undoubtedly pretty in a way. She looked like a mummified zombie. "AYE, I'm sorry! I met someone new! They needed help." "You mean the person we texted with what you called a phone ?" "Yeah. She's here actually." Gonner mentioned. You peeked around the gates to awkwardly give a wave to the new zombie you had met. She got tense again. "You brought ANOTHER MORTAL HERE?" She said. You awkwardly stood at the gate. "Not any mortal, the lass is really nice. Plus they like pirates-" "That doesn't matter, you know what happened last time with HER. you don't want that happening again, do you?!" She yelled. You assumed she was speaking about Dixie. "I'm not like Dixie, she's a jerk to me. I don't get why you assume everyone is mean. Gonners my only friend, I wouldn't give him up for anyone. " you stepped into say. " ... I'm sorry. I just don't trust people much. I probably came off rude. My names isis. Y/N, correct?" She said, holding out her hand to give a handshake to. "That's me, very nice to meet you isis. Might I say, you look outstanding!" You smiled as you took her hand and shook it firmly. "Oh, nobody's said that for alteast 300 years. Eheh.." she awkwardly said, obviously flustered at the out of nowhere compliment. "No problem. Anyways, is there anywhere to sit?" You said, taking a sip out of your water.
"My legs are killing me."
