I pull the key out of my hoodie pocket and unlock the door motioning for the man to come inside,

"come in I can get you a drink." I say.

The man glared at me and said.

"sorry kid I can't."

I felt the annoyance in his voice and I understood why but I had one last thing I needed to do.

"Please stay a while longer, I'm sure you're tired" I pleaded.

"Bloody hell fine you sure know how to get your way." he exclaimed angrily. He walked inside and leant against the wall looking as if as soon as he got the chance he would make a run for it, which made me a little on edge.

I got him a glass of water and sat down with my pencil and drawing book in my hand and got straight to work drawing him a small switchblade, he started staring at me with interest.

"hey Tsuki is it, what are you doing?"

"Oh I'm just drawing something." I say, surprised.

"What is it that you're drawing?" he said in a tone I was far from expecting.

"just a switchblade." I giggle with a hint of insanity. He nodded and had a small smile on his face.

"Heh I saw that." I say cheekily.

"is there anything else I can do for you while you're here?" I ask "nah I'll be ok thanks." he answered.

"Ok then." I smile as I finish the switchblade.

I put my symbol on the handle and put my phone number in small print on the blade. I dust the drawing over and admire my work.

"Ok done"

I sigh with relief. I looked up and reached over to the radio and turned it on in time to listen to the 12:00 news, the man who had found a spot on my couch gazed at me intently. The radio show started off

"On the west side of town a car crash was reported in Avi road caused by an small unlicensed truck there was no one driving the vehicle and four people injured, no one is sure how this happened let alone saw anything suspicious beforehand. Detectives say that there was a symbol imprinted on the drivers side door that is shaped like a crescent moon with a crucifix coming down from the top of it, the symbol has been found near many sights of similar incidences so please keep an eye out. Onto other news...".

The man looked at my drawing book that I placed down on the floor. I went to get him a refill of water along with myself, after hearing that news I started laughing remembering what I had done earlier that night.

I pass the man the glass and pick up the drawing book

"Tsuki... were you laughing before?"

"yes, why?"

"No reason, you just seemed to enjoy the news" the man pointed out.

"oh yea, The person who did it sure is audacious to pull a stunt like that" I exclaim excitedly

"now watch"

I placed my entire left hand over the switchblade and moments later the knife was in my right hand. I checked it over for imperfections as I put my stuff on the coffee table which I drew nine months back, same with everything else.

"Did you just... bring your drawing to life?" the man questioned.

"Yep I sure did"

I giggled as I outstretched my hand to him beckoning him to take the blade

"it's my quirk, you see".

He takes it from my hand and looks at the symbol that the radio station mentioned before.

"Are you the one who created the car crash?" he asked,

"ummm, what makes you say that"

I reply with a hint of sarcasm

"of course I did silly see the symbol on the handle"

I pointed it out to him.

He stared at me in shock clearly because he didn't expect such a seemingly innocent girl to do such a thing.

"Cat got ya tongue" I laughed,

"what no! May I ask what is your intention kid"

he questions with an air of empty impression.

"Oh my intention hehe I could ask the same from you... like how do I know you won't hold it against me?"

I say childishly as I revert back to being unable to entirely trust the man who I let into my home

"kid I mean Tsuki I'm being serious here I won't hold it against you, promise"

He says clearly annoyed at my childish demeanor.

"I don't even know your name so how am I to know that?"

I pout. I look at the clock and see that the time is 12:30

"oh shit I'll be late for the train tomorrow, and you should go too, its late"

I exclaim with a flustered tone.

"Ok well I'll be off then I suppose"

he sighed coldly.

Five minutes later I shut the door behind the man with a sigh of relief.

"What is wrong with me, people don't just bring strangers into their house, I know nothing about that man yet I told him so much about myself. What am I fucking crazy or someting... yeah I am"

I growl a lecture to myself after brushing my teeth and falling dramatically onto my bed, I then fall asleep immediately.

RINGGGG

"aghhh shit!!!"

I reach over to my alarm and see the sun pouring into the window. I then get ready to head off into north end in town. The train station is a 15 minute walk from here so I'll make it on time. As I am about to leave I take my drawing book, pencil and set off for another day of messing with people.
