The Misadventures of Charlie Bombay

@inkstep

'You're right,Pixle.' Charlie stammered 'You can hear it too.' Charlie looked at the nurse, she was humming and seemed oblivious to what was going on. The odor increased, making Chalrie want to gag.
'Hmmmmm,' said the nurse 'It seems I need more gauze.' Standing up, the nurse turned to Pixle and sneered. Leathery wings sprouted from her shoulders. Her olive skin shrunk, covering her skeleton like cling wrap. Beady red eyes burning in thier sockets had replaced her brown eyes. The creature stepped away from the nurse's body, leaving her lying in a heap. It must have been able to pocess her until the time was right. Looking dazed and confused, the nurse began to stand, but a clawed fist knocked her down. The beast roared and barred its teeth. It looked like a winged bear, but its fur was replaced with leather-like scales.

Pixle's eyes widened a bit as she backed up, her hands shaking slightly, 'nnnhh...c-charlie any ideas!?' she stammered, her head begining to ring again as she stood against the wall, still shivering. the acrid scent stung her nose, and the side of her head was poinding 'besides run?' she muttered


@swimforlife hai

@inkstep hey, glad to see you!
'Running is a good of as in idea as any!' Rearing its ugly head, the beast stared deep into Pixle's eyes. It flicked its fork-like tounge. Charlie sprinted towards the door and jiggled the handle. It was no avail, it had been locked from the other side. 'Do you still have you knife, Pixle. We're gonna need it, the doors locked!'

inkstep • 28 February 2012 at 5:55 PM

@swimforlife you too ^^ Im gonna be slow, wrking on my cosplay costume for this weekend

'Why use a knife, DISTRACT THE THING THAT WANTS TO EAT ME!" she snapped, flicking a screwdriver from her pocket, she traded spots with charlie and started working away at the handle, keeping her ears open as she listened to the beast,

@inkstep
thats okay, whats cosplay? It sounds intersting!!

Charlie had taken several years of kickboxing when he was younger. Quickly remebering a few punches, Charlie swung a right cross to the beast's nose. Roaring in pain, the beast picked up Charlie, its sharp claws slicing his flesh. Remebiring the blue quartz, from his father's travels, was in his pocket, he swiftly sliced into the monster's head. Dark blue blood oozed from the gash.
'Stab its heart, Charlie' said a voice. The beast threw Charlie into the air like a rag doll. Aiming the crystal, Charlie released. The blue rock embeded in its chest. More blood oozed out. The monster collapsed in a heap and turned to smoke.
'Pixle, did you say something?'

inkstep • 28 February 2012 at 6:08 PM

@swimforlife http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay haha, basically costumes for conventions ^^

Pixle popped the door and looked back up at him 'no...why?; she muttered, slipping the screwdriver back into her pocket 'did you hear something?' Pixle looked back at the nurse and sighed, knowing it wasnt her fault, that beast had something to do with it

Deleted • 28 February 2012 at 6:15 PM

@inkstep cool!
'Someone told me to stab it in its chest with the quartz. It tought it might have be you.' The nurse seemed to have passed out during the confusion. 'What should we do with her? Class is about to start.' Charlie let out a deep sigh.

inkstep • 28 February 2012 at 6:28 PM

'I dont know...' she muttered, watching the nurse, as she was about to say soething, she was called to the other room, but she could clearly see her father standing there, filling out the transfer papers 'oh good gaw..' she muttered 'can I kill him?' she asked, looking up at charlie for approval

@swimforliffe thx ^^ and XD 'can I kill him?' is so innocent sounding in my head

Deleted • 28 February 2012 at 6:33 PM

'Pixle, trust your heart. He wronged you so many times...' He began to trail off. Nodding his head he asked 'As long as you don't get charged with murder.'
@inkstep ooooh the plot thickens!! 😊 kill him!!

inkstep • 28 February 2012 at 6:54 PM

@swimforlife hehe

Pixle swallowed tightly and nodded slightly, lowering her head as her hair hung in her face, hiding the marking, she flicked out yet another sharp thing- her brush - and walked up behind him 'you're here for what may I ask?' she muttered.
'Lift your head, nuicence ' he quipped 'Im transferring you to a charter school, obviously you cant even THINK on your own' he snickered a bit, glaring down at her, he smirked rather cruelly as he flicked her nose 'I said head up.
'Remind me why I should listen to you' she murmured, gripping the brush by her side
'because if you dont, I'll send you back to Slovakia where you'll be nothing but a scout for mine fields for the rest of your life' he hissed, making sure no one was around as he shoved her into the wall. That snapped it
'Burn in heck' she murmured, cursing at him in Slovakian, Pixle launched from the wall and slashed away repetedly with the brush, eventually knocking him onto the desk and plunging the weapon into his neck, backing up, her head echoing the voices as the blood dripped off of her hands.

Deleted • 28 February 2012 at 7:44 PM

@inkstep wow, impressive murder...I am a bit scared... sorry this is so late, had to eat, this will be my last post tonight...Good Night, see you tomorrow 😊 😊

Charlie watched in scilence, emotion flooding his body. He hadn't realized how horrible Pixle's father truly was. Looking at him with glassy eyes, Pixle smiled weakly. Charlie returned the smile and wrapped his arms around her. 'Are you alright?' he asked in a calming tone. 'What are we going to do with his body?' The bell for first period was to ring in 2 minutes. The lockers might be just large enough he thought. Today was shaping up to be very interesting. Charlie prayed that none of the teachers or office staff saw what just occured.

inkstep • 28 February 2012 at 7:53 PM

@swimforlife haha thx, and aaawweee, okkk =( ttyt (Btw, I probably wont be very active on thursday, the convention is from friday at 5 pm -saturday 11pm my time, thursday is touchup))

Pixle blushed a bit as she watched, he was breathing roughly 'he's not dead' she muttered 'call an ambulance, tell them he's delusional and killed himself...' she muttered, plucking her brush from his neck and wiping it off 'are you sure you dont want me to finish your hair though?' she muttered softly, slipping her brush back into her pocket, wondering what the day would turn out to be

hay7199 • 28 February 2012 at 7:59 PM

LOL some one catch me up

Deleted • 29 February 2012 at 4:02 PM

@inkstep, thats fine have fun at the convention!!Who/what are you dressing up as? Ill see you monday then. It would probably do me good to get outside. I start swim club and lifeguard classes in the second week of march. I know thats a little ways off but....

Charlie pulled out his cell phone and dialed 911. 'Ahhhhh' he said faking shock 'My friends dad came to shcool today and attempted to kill him self. I think he has a mental contion...' he muttered. Hopefully it was convincing. Sirens wailed and the paramedics lifted Pixle's father onto a stretcher. 'I'm not sure he's going to make it. If he regians contiousness, we will instutionalize him.' Said the paramedic, as the headed towards the ambulence.
'You wanna finish dyeing this out?' Charlie asked pointing to his head.

inkstep • 29 February 2012 at 4:43 PM

@swimforlife Aparently, now my parents arent letting me go, and SCA got in the way. so no convention, and depression and boredom instead *parties with a ghost* and that's pretty cool, I did lifeguard training last year, but for some reason, I only got to do anything OFF duty, when the older guys were just flirting with eachother while little kids fell into the deep end of the pool >.>


Pixle grinned a bir as she nodded, sighing 'thanks for that.' she muttered, walking back to the auditorium. 'I just need to bleach it and then darken it, I'll be back in a minute' she called back to charlie as she walked behind the curtains and into the side room that held all of their equipment. an odd feeling lingered though, as Pixle searched for the darkening cream, a soft skritching filled her ears as her vision blurred a bit, she could hear her heatbeat echoing in her mind, something was wrong, 'nothing unusual' she muttered to herself 'probably just dizzy from the fumes, I spend too much time around this stuff' she murmured, searching through the box for the right color

Deleted • 29 February 2012 at 4:50 PM

@instep awww. I'm sorrry. I'll ghost party with you but I hate parties so... Thats cool that you were a lifeguard 😊 I hope the kids in the deep end were okay

Charlie found Pixle bent over the box of hair dyes, her eyes glassy and skin pale. 'Are you alright?' he asked. She looked like she was going to throw up. Charlie could sense something was amiss, as hit tattoo began to burn again. 'Pixle, my tattoo...'
Charlie reached into his bag and handed the peice of blue quartz to Pixle. It was no larger than aping pong ball. It had an irridecent sheen. 'This is what my dad brought back from one of his travels.'

inkstep • 29 February 2012 at 4:55 PM

@swimforlife haha, it's k, and yeaq they were fine =P frazzled but fine

Pixle shuddered slightly, her head echoing everything, Charlie's voice was muffled, she could barely tell he was there,
'Charlie...where did he get that...' she muterd, her voice was raspy as she stared blankly, shaking slightly as she looked back at him, leaning on the wall a bit 'it's not from here, is it' she muttered

Deleted • 29 February 2012 at 5:02 PM

@inkstep
'I used to collect rocks, I always knew it was special because of its color, but it never crossed my mind that it migth not be of this world. Are you familiar with this type of stone?' Charlie rolled the stone between his fingers, it seemed to shimmer in the stage lights.

--Sorry I did receive your PM about the convention, I just got it now ☹️. My pings are slow today...

inkstep • 29 February 2012 at 5:09 PM

@swimforlife it's k

Pixle shook her head slightly 'no I'm not...' she muttered, snapping out of the glaze over her eyes, the rasp somewhat vanishing from her voice 'go sit down and I'll finish your hair before you're TOO late for class' she mumbled, picking up one of the bottles and walking back over to where they were set up

Deleted • 29 February 2012 at 5:24 PM

@inkstep
Bending his head over the basin, Pixle began to dye his hair. Charlie felt Pixle's slender fingers massage the cream into his scalp. This time she was able to finish with out clawing his scalp. Pixle rinsed out the bleach and darkened the hair. Glancing in the mirror, Charlie admired his sandy blonde hair.
'Wow, Pixle, this looks great!' He exclaimed 'You are amazing.' Charlie grinned, 'C'mon we're gonna be late for any monsters stalking us' Charlie joked. He walked towards the audiotorium doors, and pushed them outwards...

inkstep • 29 February 2012 at 5:26 PM

Pixle smirked and shrugged slightly 'top of the class for two years, it sets in after a while' she muttered, cleaning off her hands, the blood had stained, mixing with what stain from the dye was left, she sighed as she picked up her bag, looking down at the slip 'I think my suspension's done...not sure though' she muttered, following after Charlie.

Charlie walked towards the science wing. He turned into the classroom. Brenden's books were sprawled over Charlie's desk.
'Well if it isn't Charlie Blonde-bay. I'm so glad to see someone went to the beauty shop.' Brenden snickered and knocked Charlie's books from his hands. 'How immature,' thought Charlie. Gathering his things, Charlie noticed a strange mark on Brenden's forearm. It almost looked like a triange, the same one the man who attacked them earlier.
@inkstep

inkstep • 29 February 2012 at 5:34 PM

Pixle sighed, dropping the paper and realizing there was a whole other side 'perfect' she muttered, running to the classroom, stopping as she got to the door, lowering her head, and glaring slightly. 'go figure' she mumbled to herself, pulling one of the brushes out of her bag, it's sharp end reflected a bit of the light as she walked up next to charlie 'Can i kill him?' she asked for surprisingly the second time in one day
@swimforlife hehehe

Deleted • 29 February 2012 at 5:52 PM

@inkstep
Before Charlie could answer Pixle, Brenden sent a Nike shoe into Charlie's chest. Charlie collapsed into the chairs. Brenden seemed surprisingly powerful. Leaping on top of Charlie, Brenden grabbed his classmate in a chokehold.
'So you thought you could run. Its all in the stars Charlie, this was bound to happen.' Gasping for breath Charlie reached out for Pixle. He hoped that was enough of a signal for her.
--Yes killing does seem to be a reoccruing theme today XD!

inkstep • 29 February 2012 at 6:00 PM

@swimforlife lol

Get off of him you fat slug!' pixle snapped, twirling her brush and running at brent, plunging the end deep into his shoulder and slicing down his back before she shoved him into the wall and held him there, she punched him square in the face, making sure to atleast fracture his nose 'you try touching him one more time and I swear on my heritage I will skin you alive and feed you to my rat. Understood' she hissed lowly, glaring into his eyes as she dropped him, backing up and panting slightly

Deleted • 29 February 2012 at 7:22 PM

@inkstep
sorry this is late...GAAAAAH....studing for impossible bio test...last post tonight

Brenden drug himself across the ground, leaving a bloody trail. 'This isn't the last time we will meet.' he hissed. He flashed something and was gone. 'I think he's one of them Pixle,' Charlie sputtered, neck sore from Brenden's hands. Purple tendrils circled his neck. 'Are you alright' No one was in the classroom, not even the teacher. Charlie looked around, the school seemed deserted. Plunging his hand in his pocket, Charlie discovered the crystal was not there. 'That slug took the crystal!' Worry spread over his body. The crystal was important, if it fell into the wrong hands, who knew what would happen.
'You have impressive reflexive and defence Pixle!"

inkstep • 29 February 2012 at 7:24 PM

@swimforlife aw, it's k, ttyt

Pixle nodded slightly and sighed 'why would he have taken it' she murmured, a chill spreading down her body as she looked over at the blood trail

Deleted • 29 February 2012 at 7:31 PM

@inkstep
one last post 😊

Charlie followed her gaze, the blood was a shade of dark blue. Smoke wafted from the shiny liquid. 'What the...?' Charlie stammered. The tattoos began to sear again. Charlie's phone rang, it was the hospital; Pixle's father had died. Charlie poked his head out the door, not a single living being was in the hallway. 'Where had everyone gone?' Suddenly, the rancid smell filled his nose. 'Pixle, I think we've got company coming!' Charlie heard the grinding of something, the sound of bonebreaking...

Good night!!

inkstep • 29 February 2012 at 8:02 PM

@swimforlife aw, night

Pixle looked up sharply, her brush clattered to the floor as she dove into the shadows like a cat 'that's the only disturbing sound I've herd, ever!' she quipped, watching the half open doorway

Deleted • 1 March 2012 at 5:37 PM

@inkstep hey! Cramming for (impossible) bio test tomorrow, Ill be on and off... How are you??

Chalie slid into the shadows. Something was coming, he could sense it. Jut then, the door crept open. The man with the tattoo and Brenden slipped in.
'Carlie, we know you're in here. You and Pixle can't hide forever. We aren't going to hurt you, we just want to talk.' Charlie didn't buy that.'Pixle, I think we have the element of surprise' Cahrlie wispered.Some horid beast roared in the distance and the pungent odor returned.
'If you don't reveal yourselves, I'll have my pets drag you out,' the man cackled.
