Just so you guys know, Salmon's accent is a heavy southern accent. Not trying to make fun if southern people btw. Enjoy ~Nikki.

I woke up around 10am opening my eyes slowly stretching. I suddenly felt hunger in my stomach rising up.

I got up out of bed, slipped on a tank top and shorts, then padded quietly into the kitchen. I grabbed a bowl from my cabinet and pouring some lucky charms in. I started to eat my cereal and turned on a tv on the wall in the living room. I noticed there is a list on the tv of all sorts of movies and tv shows and stuff. I started reading down the list and figured that every tv and movie made must be on here! So I finally settled on an episode of Bones I hadn't seen yet.

I finished my cereal, and turned off the tv. Then, I walked into the bathroom and put on some ICP, slowly bobbing to the music I got dressed, wearing bright blue and dark blue tie dye ripped jeans, and a black tee shirt on it that said NO H8. I straightened my unruly hair and did light make up. Walked out into the kitchen grabbed my phone turned off the music and went out to make some friends.

"Harli!" I heard the familiar deep voice of Salmon.

"Hi-yah Sal. Whats up?"

"Tha sky is up liddle lady. Haha!" He laughed at his own joke, and I started to laugh with him.

"Good one! so you you know anyone I could be friends with? I don't really know anyone but you and the cards I met."

"Yuh, ill intruduce youh to myee friends."

We walked for about 10 minutes until we came up to a few rows of picnic tables and stuff, then I noticed there was a group of people, 2 girls, and 2 guys, sitting at the table waving at us. Well at Salmon.

"Yo Salmon! Whats up man! Whos the pretty lady with you?" Asked the guy with a huge green and blue mohawk. He had Stretched ears, snake bites, and an eye brow piercing, he was wearing black jeans and a green and black monster shirt. He donned bracelets all along his wrists, and a pot leaf necklace.

"Hullo Kyle! This is my new fr-and Harli. She's theh newbie." He stated proudly.

"Whoa!" Both of the girls said at once. As I got closer I noticed they must be twins, they had the exact same fish nets, and boots on. Then they both had the same exact punk-ballet shirt and corset top. One was in pink, and the other all in blue. The one in pink had pink cotton candy hair to match her outfit, and the other had blue cotton candy hair that matched her out fit too. They had matching name-plate necklaces. The pink haired one said Gabriella, and the blue haired one said Izabella. I assumed those were there names.

"No way," Gabriella started,

"that, that's the newbie!" Izabella finished. Great. They were thoose kind of twins.

"Damn. Hot and famous." The last guy said. He had black fringe hair, and wore all black clothes and boots with a leather jacket. He had a silver pentagram around his chest that matched mine. I snuck a glance at my own, and confirmed they do match. Thats weird.

"Aye shuddup Axel, she is newh dont scur her away."

"Alright pretty lady so whats your story?" Kyle, the mohawk guy asked.

I told them about everything that happened, for the first time ever, I opened up to someone about my family and life. They understood how I felt. We exchanged numbers and we spent the day hanging out, all of us. I had friends for the first time ever in my life.

We hung out, talked, and listened to music for hours. Finally it was 11 at night, and I was tired, ready for bed. I walked into my door to be greeted by a guy inside, he was dressed in a plain red tee shirt, black jeans and had an eye patch over his left eye. His hair was cut short and was a fire red color a little darker than mine.

"who are you?" Is all I could sum up.

"I am The Great Milenko, you can call me Ryker. I came to tell you about my job and what I do."

"Aha. Hi. Im Harli."

"I know," he replied seemingly annoyed, "lets get this over with. Im tired and it smells like mountain dew in here. I am basically a tempter. Im the snake in the garden of eden, telling you to eat from the tree of life. I convince you to do bad things, to give in and get you to do acts of malice and greed. I trick you, and if you don't have the will power to resist me, you go to hell's pit."

I was baffled. He seemed upset with his job, but I wasn't going to push him.

"Okay...anything else?" I asked sheepishly.

"No. Im leaving." He grumbled. He walked out and slammed the door, mumbling things to himself while walking out.

I decided to take a nice shower. After that weird incident, I could use some relaxing time. I got in and let the nice warm water flow down my back and in my hair. I was so relaxed.
