My heart drops. Mochi is frantically squirming as he is held high in the air by his scruff.. held by Nacht. My eyes shake. I can't even believe what happening.
"Welcome home kitten" he winks at me dropping Mochi. Mochi runs off, probably to find a place to hide. My breathing finally starts up again. It's shaky, uncoordinated. Nacht leans against my couch. His grin taking up most of his face.
"Aww c'mon, don't ya recognize me?" He purrs. I shutter, to startled to move. Nacht clearly sees me shaking in my boots and starts to slowly approach me. I panic whisking around to open the door. I turn the handle and pull but something stops me. I look up and see his hand on the door. Stopping it from opening. His body is practically on mine as I shrink in fear. All he does is laugh at my struggles then, with a couple of cracks. Starts to rust my door. He doesn't rust away all of it. Just enough so I can't open it. I turn around. He looks down at my face with a toxic smile across his face, his arm incasing me in this refine space. His other arm is Down by his side, holding his rusty old bat.
"W-w-what do you want?" I say, my voice showing all of my weakness. He looks at me for a while. And for just a moment it seems his expression softens.. but it disappears into the sickening grin once more.
"Well I was just strolling through.. thought I'd stay awhile. Say you wouldn't know where a fella like me could crash for a couple nights would'ya?" He says drawing in closer. "I don't know! I'm pretty sure no hotel would want you in there rooms" I hiss.
He gives me a sarcastic pout as if I hurt his feelings.
"Aww that's too bad.. guess I'll have to stay here then." He laughs, finally backing away from me and turning his back.
"WHAT?!" Oh no, no no no, you are NOT staying here"
"Oh really? And who might stop me? Ya got lucky last time kitten but I can easily rust away you and all your friends." I recoil a bit at his words. It's true he's probably recovered from our last fight and is a lot stronger. I watch him plop down on my couch.
"So... if I let you stay here you won't hurt me or my friends?" I nervously ask.
"Sure thing kitten, under one circumstance, don't tell any of em im here" I stare at him for awhile. And sigh heavily
"There's a problem with that... I told them about the can, they know you're in the area." I said, trying not to get him angry.
"Well whatever, as long as you tell em there's no other sign of me from now on I think I'll let it slide" he smirked. I sigh in relief. Then we wait in silence. For one very uncomfortable minute.
"Kay well.. if your staying here you'll have to obey some of my rules too." I say trying to sound in control. He smiles widely nodding his head down slowly.
"Rule number 1 DONT touch Mochi ever again without permission" I say angrily. He laughs at me.
"What that little puffball? Sure, I don't like him anyway." From a distance I hear Mochi hiss. I roll my eyes and continue.
"Don't come in my bedroom... unless you need to use the restroom cuz the only one is in there" he smirked at that rule but didn't say anything.
"Finally, Don't use your damn rust to ruin my things" he licks his lips and snickers.
"Will do kitten, don't get too feisty on me" I groan at every word he says. I can't believe this.. I have to let guy live with me or else he'll kill everyone I love.. I look outside at the night sky. I start to walk to the kitchen to make food for Mochi, I poor him his food but he doesn't come out. I shake the bag of treats Graves gave me and he slowly walks out, his eyes piercing Nacht.
"Sorry Mochi.. just stay out of his way.." I whisper and hand him the treat. Sadness takes over me remembering how kind and earnest Graves was to me when he gave these to me. I slowly stand up and heat up leftover pizza in the microwave. I look back at Nacht who's currently watching TV. Should I make him some? No.. what am I thinking he's an unwelcome intruder. I grab the plate and make my way to the living him. I REALLY don't wanna sit next to him.. god I should buy a table to eat dinner on. I nervously sit next to him, his magic wreaks and I hug my body Against the side of the couch. I can feel his eyes on me and I turn to look at him. He's just watching me, grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
"What?" I ask annoyed
"My new roommate won't be kind enough to fetch me a snack?" He coos
"1 im not your roommate and 2 go get your own food." I wince, turning my head.
"I see Graves still hasn't taught you manors" he says standing up and walks towards the kitchen. He leaves his bat on the couch. I look at it. The rust that has consumed it. The danger it holds.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
