The Gate of the Gothic

Chapter nine Pretty flowers cure lonesome hours

After the whole fiasco yesterday, everyone went to their homes and went to sleep. The morning was quite peaceful and i was waiting for Remira to show up like she usually does along with stealing food out of my fridge and sitting on the couch and watching Tv. I decided to make breakfast and turned on the stove, cracking the eggs and putting them in the pan and then putting toast in the toaster. After my food was done i walked over to the couch and sat down watching the show that was currently on. It was about a girl who had encountered a being that wouldn't leave her alone. It would always bother her until she would talk to the being. The world was different to Merin now. things she had not known existed had appeared, but it didn't faze her, why? Why was none of these creatures she had encountered bother her? Was anyone else seeing these creatures? It was all strange to her. My thoughts were cut off by Remirian opening the door. "Hello" he said sitting on the couch awkwardly. "Hey" i said finishing my toast. "Sorry for attacking you yesterday, i had seen Remira walk in this cabin and when she didn't come out for a while I assumed she was in danger." He said looking at the people on the Tv. "it's fine" I said. It wasn't fine, not in the slightest, But i didn't want to upset Remira or him so i decided to just get over it. "So- what's your name?" He said nervously. "Im Merin" i said. "Im curious about all the things that live in these woods. Just how many of your species are there?" I said eating some of my eggs. "Not many, but enough." he said looking at the eggs. "What is that?" he said curiously. "These are eggs" I said handing him the spoon. He put the spoon in his mouth and ate the eggs. "They taste.. Good?" he said chewing on the eggs. "Hey do you know how to play board games??" i said going to the pantry to get one of the many board games i brought with me. "No but i can learn" he said looking at the board game i had set down on the table. "Its called scrabble. It's where you have to line up letters to match a subject" I said getting all the pieced out. We played scrabble for a few hours and then we went onto the other board games. We played every board game until night fall. Eventually Remirian had to go back home, so he left and I was there alone watching Tv. The next morning, i noticed a piece of paper stuck in the doors where the entrance was. I walked over to it and grabbed the note. It read

"Dear Merin,

I enjoyed the board games you let me play yesterday, they were quite enjoyable. I hope to see you again.

-Remirian

P.S can i have

more eggs?"

I opened the door and saw a few flowers tied with twine. They were colors ranging from yellow to red.
