Tale as Old as Time

An Added Debt

    Destiny

 I just heard Leanna walk out the door. She fell for the trick! I probably shouldn't do this... whatever it's not like it's inspection day or anything. "OH MY GOD, IT'S INSPECTION DAY!",I yell out.
I put down my book and run to my parents who are talking to each other.
"MOM, DAD, IT'S INSPECTION DAY!" I yell at them.
"That is correct, what about it?",Mom says.
"I TRICKED LEANNA", I scream angrily.
"Okay?
Why do you care about her so much? You never do.",Dad says.
Suddenly a soldier appears, walking to our house, carrying Leanna.
"I see.",Dad says. The soldier knocks on our door. I recognize this soldier!

"Leanna!" Mom exclaims, "What did you do to her?!"
"Ma'am, she is fine, she just passed out from shock.", The soldier says. "You listens to me you little-" She gets cut off by me.
"Mom, calm down, don't you recognize him?" I ask. She pauses to think, all the soldiers had helmets that mostly covered their face so I don't think she recognized him.
"Ah, Grimory, my apologies," she says. I stand corrected.
"Mrs. Winry, I am sorry to say, you have two debts to pay," he says.

     My parents turn to each other in worry, we never really had much money.

     Yes, we sell a lot of bread, but Leanna is a so-called, 'trouble maker' and well, that leaves debts.

     Wait, why do we have two debts? I pull out my book of rules. I read them, huh, the only rule she broke was leaving on Inspection Day.

"Grimory, why do we have two debts?" I say attracting my parents' attention.
"Yeah, why do we have two debts, Grimory?" Mom says.
"Ah, right. The reason you have two debts was that she also had a knife with her." Grimory says.
"Huh, all of our knives are in the kitchen. She must have bought one." Dad says.

"Well, I could pay off the debt for you," Grimory says.
"Oh no, it's fine," Mom says.
"LET ME OFF!"
Oh, Leanna woke up.
"Leanna it's fine. Grimory could you let her down?" Dad says.
"Oh of course." He lets her down,
"I will pay the debt for you."
"No, it's fine," Dad says.
"Too late," Grimory says as he starts running to the office. Leanna drops to the floor laughing.

I start walking to my room knowing my parents are going to start yelling at her.

Hello.
"What the."
Ah! Such foul language! I regret haunting you.
"Who are you?"
You do not know me?
"No..."
Well. Do you want to see me?
"Uh. Sure..."
    
     As soon as I say that. I see a... black person? No. Not like "that's racist" black. I mean pure black.

"Who are you?"
Goodness sake! You're blind!
"Well yeah, I need glasses for a reason you know."
Well. I am Princess Aries.
"How'd you die?"
How did you know I died?
"You told me that you haunted me. Only ghosts haunt people, and to be a ghost you have to die. So how'd you die?
Long story. Do you have any change of clothes?
"Uh, yeah take your pick I guess." Disgusting.
"Huh?"
these are worse than the peasants!
"I don't have that much money."
It's because of your forsaken sister, isn't it?
"Heh, yeah."
Well, give me one of her dresses. "Why?"

Trust me.

I just wanted friends. But Leanna, she, SHE GOT POPULAR INSTEAD OF ME! I AM HER SHADOW NOW.

I. AM. THE. DARKNESS
