The Misadventures of Charlie Bombay

Deleted • 26 February 2012 at 8:41 PM

'I don't know, but something tells me she can fend for herself' he told Pixle. Charlie hit the gas, hard. 'Where should I drop you off? If you want you can crash in Piper's room, I don't think she'd mind'

Pixle shook her head 'I..My home is the larges one at the end of the road behind the school' she murmured, looking down at her phone, she completely forgotten she was grounded and her dad was trying to chew into her 'I...my dad's....mnh..' Pixle watched the mirror as the house faded into the distance, runnning over everything in her mind 'what WAS that' she thought to herself, confused and worried.
@swimforlife I gg in 10 min or so

@inkstep yeah me too gotta shower and get some sleep what time do you plan to be on tomorrow

Charlie passed the school, and turned the street directly behind it. He pulled into the driveway of a large house. He said nothing about its size. 'Good night Pixle, don't the the stars bite!' He waved and watched her walk towards her front door. He wondered where the red stars went during the day.

inkstep • 26 February 2012 at 8:51 PM

@swimforlife Online schooling, I'll be on ALL day =)

Pixle smiled slightly, she quickly kissed him lightly on the cheek-subconsciously- and ran up the driveway, having to knock, she waved solomnly as her dad jerked her into the dimly lit house.

@inkstep
REALLY!!?!? So jealous, I hate high school!

Charlie smiled and rubbed his cheek. He had never been kissed before. He hoped Pixle was okay, he dad looked cross. He shifted the car into reverse and headed home...

inkstep • 26 February 2012 at 9:00 PM

@swimforlife hahaha, what grade? I'm in 8th/9th =P

Pixle sighed as she got inside, rushing up to her room as her dad yelled at her, Trouble burrowed into her sleeve

Deleted • 26 February 2012 at 9:03 PM

Yeah, Charlie a bit older than me. My birthday's in the summer

Charlie lay on his bed thinking of Pixle and the crazy night
Nighty-night! See you tomorrow--highlight of my day!!

Deleted • 27 February 2012 at 5:17 PM

@inkstep
Ahhh, crazy! Im on a block schedule so I only have 4 classes per half year. Yep 80 minutes of classes can make your day move like molasses. My honors bio teacher is SUPER smart, she treats us like college kids...you're happy when you get a C....
Do you want to start?

inkstep • 27 February 2012 at 5:27 PM

@swimforlife Wow, sounds harsh, haha XD I love how you discribed it though
and sure


Pixle sighed as she walked around the back side of the school, the side of her face and head were still throbbing from her father's punishment, she couldnt hide the bruises too well either, so she figured, using her supplies, she could just cover it up with a stable. Sneaking in through the auditorium back entrance, Pixle sighed as she finally got back in side 'Back to prison' she muttered under her breath as she climbed onto the catwalk, something was different, the air was filled with an acrid, burning scent, none of the lights were on. 'must be early' she thought to herself as she walked over to her chest, popping the lid open, she pulled out the stable and a mirror, the second she tried to hide it though, pain racked through her body, the bruises were too deep to even be gentle with. 'oh life,' she muttered with a sigh 'how you hate me so' Pixle sighed as she sat in the dark, on the edge of the catwalk, watching the stage far below.

LONG POST IS LONGISH >.U

Deleted • 27 February 2012 at 5:35 PM

@inkstep gotta love long posts, at least I do

Charlie awoke to the sound of his alarm. Slapping the clock, it fell on the ground and shattered. 'Wonderful' he muttered. Showering quickly, Charlie noticed Piper/Primrose hadn't come home. He wondered what had occured with the deserted house and Kingdra beast. Scouring the house for answers, Charlie came up almost empty handed. Primrose's room held no clues to his past or future. Before he left for school, Charlie checked his dad's office. It was the only place in his house he did use on a regular basis.
A paper on his desk read 'Samuel D. Bombay, International Affairs' 'What an understatedment' he thought. His dad was rarely home, almost always on bussiness trips, which made him wonder where his dad really went.
Charlie hoped Pixle was alright, as he dad was fuming when she got home. Popping the lock on the Bug, he remembered the rat. He shoved Trouble's carrier into his backpack.

inkstep • 27 February 2012 at 5:44 PM

@swimforlife yesh, I lurve em XD

Pixle sighed, lowering her head a bit as she stared at the long red scrape allong her face and temple, there was a massive bruise that started on her forehead, and she could feel it going all the way over to her ear, she still wondered why her father acted the way he did and how he hadn't been arrested before. Pixle sighed and cringed slightly, the acrid scent flooded her nose as she inhaled, 'Im blaming the science lab for whatever it is that smell is' she muttered to herself, loking back at the mirror, contemplating. If any of the teachers called her father, he would say she fell down the stairs, and when they got back home he would attack her more. If she tried to run away, he'd get the police to hunt her down, even if she went home like it was a normal day, there was a pretty strong chance she would get in trouble, she probably was punished just for living. 'if he hates children so much, why'd he take me' she muttered, looking down at the window and sighing a bit, going back to scanning the mark, Pixle let out a weak yawn and leaned forward, not the brightest idea for someone sitting on a skywalk, but she didn't care at the moment.

@inkstep
Thrusting open the doors to the auditorium, Charlie spotted Pixle on the catwalk. Shes covering up a thick purple streak on her neck with make up. Pixle glanced towards the window, Charlie ascened the ladder slowly. Placing her arm around her shoulders he said 'Oh my god, Pixle! Are you alright, its all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go back home. Piper/Primrose didn't even come home last night.' A salty tear trickled from his eye. Pixle was the most important person in his life, he didn't want to lose her.

inkstep • 27 February 2012 at 5:53 PM

'Charlie..I'm fine..' she muttered, pulling away 'im used to it...Why didn't your "sister" come home last night?' she muttered, looking up at him, her eyes were dull and dimmed down as she watched him 'think she's alright?I mean...alive might be the correct term...' Pixle sighed, looking down at the stage.

@swimforlife I was so tempted to write 'she leaned forward, the blood slowing a bit as she passed out and fell off the catwalk' XD Im so tempted to push someone off of something high today

seaangel • 27 February 2012 at 5:56 PM

@swimforlife is it too late to join??

Deleted • 27 February 2012 at 5:57 PM

@inkstep awwwww, I dont want her to die, unless your getting bored of this, if so thats okay, but I really miss you

'I don't know for sure, Pixle. I'd like to think she was okay. If its not safe for you and me, its not safe for her. She probably went into hiding. This morning I put something together. My dad works in international affairs, that might have something to do with this, if "international" is used lightly.' Charlie swore her heard something rustle on the catwalk.

inkstep • 27 February 2012 at 6:02 PM

@swimforlife I wont kill her XD I dont think it's possivle to get bored of this =3

'mnh...' she sighed, looking down at the mirror and back up at him 'what do you mean...' she muttered, 'we cant travel...' she muttered, sighing a bit, 'I cant even think...Lastnight when I was trying to sleep...there..Charlie my window is on the third floor, and there was someone tapping on my window, I pulled open the curtains and when I did, the person fell back and into the pond...I don't know if it was relateed to this...but...' she sighed and shook her head slightly 'it just didn't seem real...' she muttered, her hearing pricked slightly at a light scritching 'what would be up here' she thought to hersef, looking back at the shadows.

seaangel • 27 February 2012 at 6:04 PM

@swimforlife ummm hello?

Deleted • 27 February 2012 at 6:07 PM

@inkstep awww. thanks you're right

'I believe you saw something, Pixle. This is getting more twisted by the day. Did you see anything in the pond this morning? My dad does lots of work in diffrent countries. Im begaining to think those countries might not be on this planet.' Charlie followed Pixle's gaze. Someone or something was defintley there. A dark figure move between shadows.

@seaangel
Yes. Have you been following this? It changed a lot from the begining. @Inkstep and I can fill you in if you still want to join...

inkstep • 27 February 2012 at 6:10 PM

'I forgot to check, I make a goal to get up and out the door before my dad remembers I exist...' she muttered, getting to her feet 'maybe you're right...does he ever bring anything back with him?' she asked softly, backing against the railing and sneaking a knife into her hand allong with a flashlight, she tossed the light to charlie, pulled up her hood, and snuck into the shadows, watching the sillhouetted being

@swimforlife ^^
@seangel yea we'd be happy to fill you in ^^'

Carlie caught the flashlight and clicked it on. A dark shaped bolted behing the curtain. Charlie looked at the knife in Pixle's hand. 'Smart' he thought. 'I think he brought me a peice of blue quartz or something like that. I never thought anything of it before. I forgot I even had it.'

inkstep • 27 February 2012 at 6:18 PM

'Stay put' she muttered 'I'm the oone who mapped the plans for the catwalk, there's a hidden pathway that goes up above the lights, it's for when we have to do lightshows or fix a bulb...' she muttered so only he could hear 'just follow' she muttered, climbing onto the railing and keeping her ballence, walking slowly to the curtain, she grabbed a rope and tugged it lightly, the curtain fell to the stage far below, revealing a ladder 'Im guessing he went up' she looked back at charlie and shrugged, jumping onto the rickety latter and hurrying up the rusted rungs.

Obediently, Charlie followe without a word. Pixle's talents seemed endless. The rust peeled off as Charlie ascended. More rustling followed, Pixle swung herself over the passage. Charlie paused to scan the auditorium and followed her.

@swimforlife
Pixle leaned back slightly, watching as Charlie made his way up 'careful, ' she muttered
the catwalk up here doesnt have railing' she hissed, watching the Sillhouette 'well I guess we've got him cornered then,' she slowly made her way across the catwalk, careful not to trip any of the wires

@seaangel

Basically what has happened so far...
Charlie meets Pixle in Drivers Ed. They become fast friends. Charlie passes out one day during lunch, when he revives he finds a mysterious tattoo of 3 red stars. Pixle and Charlie are looking for the mystrious origin of the tattoo. Charlie's older sister turns out not to his sister. Pixle was adopted by a rich man. She also stabbed a girl with a pen. She is awesome at drawing and stage makeup. They investiage a rundown house and are chased away by a beast called Kingdra. Pixle's father hit her after staying out late. She and Charlie are in the auditorium investaging a shadowy figure.
