Skipper sighs "Well it could be worse. You could have been forced
to wear a dress and high heels... She said those were the only
cloths that she had that would fit me... The dress is a bit to big
for you so that is not why I am not offering you the cloths she
gave me.".
Magma sighs and gets ready to get up "I was trying to be
unpredictable. Well... remind me in the future to NEVER get small
building toys even if it was a gift for a child. I refuse to allow
those things anywhere.".
''they did buy me shoes with heel's.... but i keep my flat heeled
shoes under the bed, so they didn't end up being thrown away.. i
still have my original clothing, just... i keep them hidden in case
they try to throw them away..... better to be safe then sorry..''
she sighed.
~~~~~
''well glass hurt's worse then those little building blocks... if
we got out child the huge plastic building blocks that aren't
swallow-able, then they wouldn't end up hurting your feet since
they're so big'' he said, tying a dry washcloth over her foot
before he got up and helped her up.
he pulled her into a hug and smiled, sighing quietly.
''you don't know how long i've been waiting to have that little
moment with you..... i just wanted to wait until you were
comfortable about the idea... i love you so much magma, and i don't
ever want to loose you.....'' he murmured softly.
Skipper blushes "I threw away the high heels Spirit gave me... well
I donated them to a little donation place where you can help out
the comunity by donating stuff to help the homeless. I commonly go
there once I out grow something witch strangely can be common. I
guess I just keep growing a bit since I turned into a human."
Skipper goes over to Scarlet's side of the table and sits next to
her "Also, why dont we go shopping next time? I know a great little
store with some nice cloth. Nice casual cloths. Nothing fancy.
Nothing tight. Mostly lose and a bit bigger shirts. Great stuff.
Also it is very cheap so we can buy twice as much then you would in
most other stores." skipper hugs Scarlet.
Magma blushes "Ok. Now why dont you get changed? It is getting
late. Very late... i think you might even have work in a bit and so
do I. I promised Aura and Mystic i would work tonight while they
hunt the city for some person that they find evil and mean. I think
they might be a friend of Strike's.".
''r-really? go shopping..? can we go shopping in the morning?''
scarlet asked, looking up at him excitedly.
~~~~~
''they aren't strike's friends anymore... they betrayed him, and
they think he's evil with the power's he has...'' matthew mumbled.
Skipper nods "Sure. Anything you want." Skipper blushes like mad
and giggles like a little girl.
Magma sighs "I mean who they are going to hunt down. They said
something about a allie of 'A guy who seals hearts'. they said his
name is Chaos and I think this Chaos might just be a friend of
Strike's.".
she smiled brightly and hugged him.
~~~~~
''ah... alright..... well i'm gonna go get dressed.. be careful on
that foot alright? put a sock on to keep the rag in place'' matthew
said, then headed for the bedroom.
Magma nods "Alright." Magma thinks and then gets ready to do her
job.
3 Days Later. It Is Late In The Afternoon.
Magma had yet to return back to their room since she had left 3
days ago.
Suddenly a strange person in a black cloak covering their whole
body smashes threw the bedroom window in Matthew's room. They give
off a very dark aura. They drop a bag sealed shut on the ground and
walk to the kitchen and then go into the fridge.
Skipper works extra hard to find someone new to hire in place of
Mystic and Aura, both of them he had fired.
matthew was in the bathroom at the time brushing his teeth when he
heard the crash and was looking toward the door, his toothbrush
still in his mouth before he spat the toothpaste into the sink and
rinsed, then put the toothbrush away and went to the door after
drying his hand's off on his tank top.
he summoned a shadowy dagger with blood red streak markings and
stepped out of the bathroom, then headed to the bedroom to check it
out real quick.
he snapped his finger's and the glass returned to it's unshattered
state, then picked the bag up, hooking it to his belt before going
to the living room.
~~~~~
scarlet was humming as she helped skipper some new people to help
work with him and had borrowed the computer that was in the safe
room to do so.
The strange cloaked person goes out to the living room and looks
over at Matthew "Please put my bag down!" The person sounds very
upset and then uncovers their face. As soon as they do the dark
aura disappears and it turns out to be Magma. She huffs and walks
over and hugs him,trying to take her bag back while doing do "Sorry
I have not come home in a while. Got very busy with my new job.
Dusk hired me to help keep the city safe and well... I got caught
up in it a bit and could not return home for a bit." Magma starts
to take off her cloak and folds it up.
Skipper sighs ~This is hopeless. No one so far as shown to be up to
what I need.~.
matthew blinked and sighed, making the dagger disappear before he
hugged her back and handed her the bag.
''magma next time come through the front door, it would've been
unlocked anyway so you didn't have to break through the window....
and i'm sure the building's door was unlocked as well'' he said,
running his hand through his just below shoulder length shaggy
raven feather black hair, since he let it grow out the past few
year's instead of cutting it to it's shorter length.
~~~~~~
scarlet went downstairs after a little while and came up beside
skipper, looking down at him.
''no luck i take it....?'' she asked.
Magma sighs "I sort of lost my key and thought the door would be
locked... also I tripped while rushing back and had to do a
controlled fall threw the window." Magma giggles "Now that I think
about it... maybe I can say sorry by cutting your hair! My cloak
could use more of your hair..." Magma throws the cloak on Matthew
and rushes to get scissors.
A mysterious shadow appears in the room and is near Matthew. A
man's voice begins to come from it "I will always obey my queen's
orders but I will not be happy... She knows I dislike humans and
monsters... both of which this world seems to have plenty of... and
I see a monster now..." the voice clearly just called Matthew a
monster.
Skipper sighs and nods "Yes. It is so hard to find someone who is
perfect for the job...".
matthew pulled the cloak off and folded it, simply ignoring the
voice.
he then went off and disappeared into the bedroom.
~~~~~
''i've been trying to help and looked through applicant's with the
computer upstairs in the panic room'' scarlet said.
The shadow follows Matthew "I am just glad none of these people can
see me or the kingdom. Only those who can see threw the vale can
see us and the kingdom, which is very rare in other worlds. They
would not stand a chance if they could see us and tried to attack
our kingdom..." the shadow seems to be more then a simple shadow
now.
Skipper sighs "I know and I thank you for that, but no one is what
I am looking for so far...".
''don't underestimate a demon prince who want's nothing to do with
his father's throne...'' matthew muttered, leaving it at that as he
put the cloak in a drawer that belongs to magma in the dresser.
~~~~~
''at least i'm trying to help.... since it the only other way i can
repay you for letting me stay here...'' she mumbled, putting her
arm's around her neck and hugged him from behind, her arm's just
crossing over his chest instead of his neck since she didn't want
to end up choking him.
A man in a lighter armor comes out of the shadow "So. you can see
me, monster. You best not underestimate me, a Shadow Walker
guardian to the lost kingdom. I have lived as long as I have for a
reason." The man holds a dark shadowy sword, but it is clear he is
not planning to attack.
Skipper blushes "I still feel like I got the better end of the deal
with you staying here to be honest..." Skipper thinks again "Maybe
I should offer a higher pay to attract better people...".
matthew glanced over his shoulder and glared at the man standing
there, a murderous gleam entering his gaze.
''i've been alive a lot longer then you have bud, so don't p--- me
off, cause i'll snap your neck if you do'' he said, a little
annoyed.
~~~~~
scarlet blushed and put her head on his shoulder, laying against
her arm.
''the amount you pay is just fine, there are just people not
experienced enough to handle this kind of job... and they just have
to be trust worthy unlike the other two.....'' she mumbled.
The man shows no emotion "Well you do appear to be a demon, so you
are in fact a monster. It is just a simple known fact. You are not
a humanoid as no other worlds have humanoids from what we have
seen." The man bows gentally "I am Mare by the way.".
Skipper blushes so much his face turns pink "You are right."
Skipper closes his eyes.
''matthew.... son of lucifer, who is also the son of satan
himself... i come from a very powerful bloodline..'' matthew
muttered.
~~~~~
scarlet stood up and stretched, then looked up at the clock to see
what time it was.
''hey, i'm gonna go walk garnet and digger'' she said, then went to
go upstairs and get the two from her room.
Mare looks slightly unimpressed "Well, I have served 100s of great
queens to my kingdom. I even served the great queen. As a Night
Marcher I am but a Ghost of a warrior who died in battle. I keep my
pride from my living days. My blood line is not important. Who I am
is." Mare raises his sword, but only to look in the blade "I once
showed emotion... to a boy I treated like a son...".
Skipper nods "I best go to bed..." Skipper rushes to his room.
''i don't have a child yet, so i wouldn't know the feeling.. but
i've been tortured from childhood to my teen years, been on the run
ever since i managed to escape, but my father seem's to always find
me...... so annoying...'' he muttered rather bitterly on the last
part, but wistfully on the first part.
~~~~~
''it's not dark out yet skipper'' scarlet said, a little confused.
