My Darkest Days

Princess Bitchy (Star)

After the day had ended and I went home, I went around town as I usually do, enjoying the desolate and quiet streets, shops closed, nobody in sight. I walked about my business, until I heard a creek of a gate. My eyes widened and I turned to see the graveyard gate.

A guy was standing there, his hand lightly touching the fence. I questioned this and then he turned his head away from the gate and look down to the left side of him. He had semi long black hair, pale complexion, dark clothing, somewhat small.Huh. Seems familiar.

For some god awful reason, I walked up to the guy, they caught a glimpse of me and frantically they scrambled away a little bit, kind of scared. I may have spooked the poor fellow.

"Ah! I-I wasn't going to go in there-! I-I swear!" They shouted, covering their face. Out of the kindness in my dark, shriveled heart, I walked up to the guy and kneeled down in front of him. He looked scared, trembling lightly from what I can see.

"Hey, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not going to hurt you." I spoke softly, lightly tapping my knee. The guy looked up at me very hesitantly.

"Promise...?" He held his pinky out like a child, covering half his face with his other hand. I was taken aback at this, he was scared like a child and now this childish act. This town gets worse by the minute. I rolled my eyes after a minute and wrapped my pinky around his.

"I promise.." I muttered, frustrated at this childish act. They smiled and pulled away from me, standing up after a second. I stood up and looked down at them, as I was clearly twice their height."I'm Bret." He held out his hand with a goofy grin that made me question.

"Star, you new here?" I shook his hand after speaking, wondering why I never saw him before.

"Just passing through. My folks and I are here for two weeks. I just arrived and I wanted to explore but-"

"But?"

"This side of town is really kind of...." He trailed off after a second, trying to make his sentence easy to finish.

"Scary? Dead?" I raised an eyebrow as he shook his head no.

"Desolate."

"Ah, maybe due to the dead tend to wander at night here." I said with half hearted sarcasm.

"WHAT!?" I covered his mouth and laughed at his remark.

"I was joking." He mumbled something into my hand and narrowed his eyebrows. I laughed a little again and moved my hand away from his mouth. "What was that?"

"You're fucking rude."

"You seem a little bitchy when you get joked around with or scared in general." I said with a laugh, earning a glare from him.

"That just makes me Princess Bitchy now doesn't it?" I laughed at this remark, more than I should've because he turned and walked a little bit away before stopping. He walked back over to me and sighed a bit, looking down.
