The castle is falling apart, but that will be put to rights soon. As soon as the inheritance is officially hers she will fix it up as good as new again. Just like how she remembered it whenever she visited her grandfather. Everyone called him an old kook but he was always nice to her. She'll make this castle his legacy. She won't let him be forgotten.
The dull clank of the staff against the rusted metal grated on her nerves in a way she couldn't explain. It wasn't like it was an especially loud or screeching sound like nails on a chalkboard. Maybe it was the fact that she couldn't stand the sight of the rust. She never liked the color of rust, being blood-like and all.
The spring had sprung its last. The boy yanked his mattress off his bed and threw it out the window. It was that incident where his parents thought their son needed an activity to get rid of excess energy. So they sent him to the Military Academy. It was one of the best schools in the country, and best of all it was free.
He crouched down and hid behind the crumbling wall. He could only make out a few words that the strange men were saying to each other, but he knew they were up to no good regardless. He grasped the pendant under his shirt without thinking about it. His good luck charm was going to be working overtime and it was only his first week as a detective.
The pouch contained all that he needed for the last leg of his journey. It's been a long, hard road but he had finally made it back to his hometown. It sat practically on the edge of the world. He patted the old, weathered pouch and grinned to himself. The herbs and medicines he brought should help a lot of needy children.
The hover vehicle sputtered to a stop and smashed into the ground with a jerking motion that made his stomach lurch. Well, this was the worse escape plan ever. He should have made sure he stole a car that worked. He jumped out of the motionless automobile and ran.
The clipped tone that she spoke with disguised how nervous she really was. She didn't expect to take over a manager position when she applied for a job at the small firm, but she couldn't turn down the pay when the opening came up. She hardly felt qualified, but when opportunity knocks...
The offer was a disaster to begin with. He didn't know what he was thinking except that he had to offer something that no one would suspect he'd give, even if it was something that someone else already put on the table. He knew the shock factor would be in his favor. But when he saw his senpai smile in a most chilling fashion, he had the sinking feeling he should have backed out when he had the chance.
The umbrella clattered to the ground, forgotten in the heat of the moment. He always thought his first kiss would be spur of the moment, since that's just the kind of guy he is. He even dared say that everyone expected it, too. The only thing that was different from the scenario in his head was that he thought his first kiss would be with a girl.
The sinking feeling in her stomach matched the sinking of the ship on the television. She knew it was a bad idea to watch the Titanic after some idiot she didn't know brought an Ouija board to the party. She told her friend it was a stupid idea to have an open party. Now there were freaky ghosts all over the place and nothing to serve them!
