Tainted Hearts

Triviality Leads To Argument

"W-wh.."

Our ghost protagonist awoken up, but not at the place he expected to be.

"W-where am I.."

"Alex!"

"Alex!"

"Hey, Al!"

"C'mon! Let's go!"

A bunch of disembodied familiar voices called out to him.

"Go.. W-where..?" He asked them.

"C.. Me.... On!"

"A... Ex!"

"Do no... O."

"Come... Wit... S.."

"Be not afraid."

"Aaaahh!"

He jolted awake, breathing rapidly.
His vision came to view a certain demon about to smash a bucket full of ice to him.

"Aah- wait!"

Andrew's movement came to halt.

"Oh, you're awake. You were squirming earlier and let out a noise like EeEe EEEE AEEE."

".. It's nothing."

"Taking me for a fool?"

Alex clicked his tongue, irritated.

"Tch, I'm just having a nightmare!"

He suddenly admitted unconsciously.

".. A nightmare?"

"Oh, don't tell me you have no knowledge about what's a nightmare."

"I know the term, but we demons do not experience such thing as dreaming or having a nightmare. I'm not that dumb."

"..."

"..."

A silence emerged.

"Are you just going to stand there, or we catch up to Denny now. She's playing with her annoying friends outside."

"Just.. Give me a moment.."

"Are you actually so affected by such unimportant occurrence that was supposed to be unreal and just a part of your ima-"

Alex balled his fist, clenching it.

"Lately, you've been irritating me so much.. Andrew."

"Huh? Really?? Or was it just you being easy to get upset by trivial things?"

"Trivial..? Your friend right here is having a problem and this is how you help them?!"

"Pffft, what? If it's your problem then it stays YOURS."

"Friends.. Are supposed to help eachother, you know that?"

"If you wanting to be friends with me just to comfort you, then you should just stop. I ain't made by God to comfort somebody, you'll have to stand all by yourself sooner or later. If you're done, we're waiting outside."

"..."

With that, the demon left the house. Alex's eyes burning crimson red as he started breathing heavily.

"Kill him."

"Don't forget who you are."

"The Vengeful Spirit."

"No."

Alex sighed and regained his composure.

"M-maybe he was right.. I think lately I'm easy to get mad.."

He walked towards the exit and left the house.
The ghost spotted Denny running around with her friends while Andrew was watching them.

"If Denny fell, I swear to-"

"Ugh, Denny! Let's just go somewhere else, this guy won't stop bothering us!!"

"Hey, I'm in charge to look after her!"

"Looking after someone, huh. I can see through that lie clear now, typical demon."

Alex muttered quietly, he walked towards nearing the area and made some distance from the demon,
He noticed this.

"Are you seriously s-"

"Be quiet, I don't want to hear another word from you directed at me. You said you didn't care, right?"

Alex interrupted Andrew, not looking at him.
The demon only scoffed in response.

The Writer really wanted to punch the demon, even though it means he's punching himself.
But it's a win-win for The Writer, punching his punchable character and ALSO punching himself.

Heheh

HHEHWHHWHEEHAH.

Back to the story.

They both stood in silence, not exchanging any word.
Andrew's void face was present whilst Alex had no eye pupils and mouth.
Both had no expression at all.

Denny seemed to notice this, they usually cause chaos or got into a childish argument every 1 nanosecond.
But when she glanced at them, that doesn't seem to be the case..
One thing that caught her the most was their distance from eachother and their expression.

'Something clearly happened.'
