I Share My Home With Killers

Shy

Carrie shivered as she walks through the large crowd of the killers. Even though there is enough room for everyone some like Carrie still felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Make room make room!" Tiffany demanded as she lead Carrie through the hall.

"Carrie!" Ivory jumped off Stu's lap and ran up to her. "Carrie, come meet everyone!"

Ivory grabbed her hand and started pointing everyone out.

Carrie tried not to show too much fear but most of the killer's targets were teenage girls.

"These are my brothers, Billy and Stu. You all seem to be around the same age right?" Ivory asked.

"Yeah kid." Billy nodded. "We're all highschoolers."

"Can Carrie be my sister then?" Ivory asked.

"If she wants." Stu chuckled.

"I.." Carrie stuttered.

"Oh Carrie are you shy?" Ivory asked.

"I am." Carrie admitted.

"That's ok! I know just who you need to meet." Ivory took her downstairs and lightly knocked on the wall. "Brahms, come meet Carrie, I think she would like to be away from the crowd too."

Brahms hesitated before slowly coming out of the wall.

"Brahms this is Carrie." Ivory introduced them. "She's very nice but she's shy." Ivory turned to Carrie. "This is Brahms, he's also very nice and shy. He can talk but not much, if you need space I'm sure he'll be fine sharing his space with you. Right Brahms?"

Brahms meekly nodded.

"I'll see what Tiffany is cooking." Ivory told them before skipping away.

Brahms and Carrie stared at each other for just a moment before Brahms allowed her to follow him.

"I hate dark tight spaces." Carrie admitted.

Brahms held out his hand to her gently leading her into the wall. Carrie closed her eyes as she allowed Brahms to lead them deeper until he tapped her shoulder to show her he made a perfect private area that even had a window. Ivory helped him gather a few things around the shop that have been there forever so he had a table with a comfy chair, books to read and Ivory brought them a few games to play.

"Tiffany said we'll have dinner soon but I brought you some snacks." Ivory ran in. "Wanna play with me and Brahms?"

"Sure." Carrie said after a while.

Ivory smiled and let Carrie have a beanbag before handing her some dice. "You can go first since you're new to my family. Don't be afraid of everyone here, some might look scary but their looks don't make us family. I'll go get us something to drink!" Ivory disappeared into the small tunnel.

Carrie turned to Brahms who was staring back at her.

"We protect that child with all our strength." Carrie gripped the dice her knuckles turned white.

Brahms shoulders relaxed as he nodded his head and let Carrie roll the dice.
