Karma's POV
Steven yelps awake, getting the attention of the people around us on this bus.
"Steven, you're awake!" I smile sarcastically.
This is the second time this has happened. Poor dude needs some sleeping pills STAT
He looks my way, still getting used to his surroundings.
"What happened? You and- we saw that t-thing...right?" Steven questioned me.
"Yyyyep" I say, matter of factly.
"Oh bullocks, what is happening.."
"Listen, after you blacked out-again-you...changed? I don't know how to explain it. You went from you to this other person."
Steven stared at me quizzically, pondering the words I just said.
But before I can utter another word, both Steven and I see the thing/bird from last night. It stared at both us, unmoving. Nobody around it acknowledged it was even there!
"We've got to go. Now"
••••••
We step off the bus and look around for the bird thing again. But just when we turned around, I see a man stare back in Steven in shock. He steps closer but the bus drives away.
"Oh, my God. He's real" Steven says, astonished.
"Is that the guy, Steven?" I ask.
"Yep, that's him".
••••••
We entered the museum, high alert on both the bird thing and the Harold guy. We spotted J.B at the front entry, watching-yet again-otters.
"Hey, J.B, how you doin', mate?" Steven introduces himself.
J.B looks up from his phone and greets Steven and I, calling us by the wrong names.
"How's it going, Scotty? Heya, Carmen All right, mate".
"It's Steven." "It's Karma..."
"Are you watching otter videos again?"
"Yeah, they're adorable, mate"
The way I could simply destroy his love for those monstrosities with fur with just one fact....But I won't
"Great, yeah. Cool, listen, man," Steven starts. "I need you to keep an eye out, 'cause I'm being followed."
"Really, mate?"
I wouldn't let him talk to you if we weren't, dumbass
"Yeah. Will you just, like-not let anyone in, yeah?"
J.B gives him a weird look before replying,"It's a museum, bruv. That'll be difficult."
Steven back tracks and tries explaining how B.J should look out for anyone "dodgy". But B.J counters that, saying that "anyone who wants to come in, can, and it's free".
Before Steven can argue further, Donna shows up suddenly behind us. She immediately puts merchandise in his arms and demands Steven to take it downstairs in the storage room.
"Donna wait-" I started but she completely ignored my presence
This fucking snake in heels, I swear to God i-
Steven tries bringing B.J back into the conversation but the dude is already walking away, calling his "mum".
"Stevie, takes these downstairs, please!" Umbr-I mean Donna quips at him.
