Making the News is A Bad Thing
Chapter 3: Making the News is A Bad Thing
Doom’s POV
I was seated on the couch next to Iris as we watched the picture radio, what the woman on it was saying wasn’t good.
Woman: “there have been many strange Happening tonight, people have been reporting sighting of a two headed what seems to be a teen age boy with blue and green skin, and a girl with one eye in the middle of her head, and we have an interview with a man who claims he was bitten by a skeleton. Steve Murphy has more on this.”
the screen then move so that a husky man was now in the middle.
Steve Murphy: “Thank you Dianna. These sighting started about two hours ago after an odd lightning storm, where a young man with supposedly two head was spotted in the park,”
“their talked about us Len” Frank said with a smile on his face
“Ya but why did they say young man? Where to different people” Len added, didn’t these two get that this was bad.
Steve Murphy:“ the second sighting was of a young girl running down the middle of the street with only one eye, and now we have an interview this an officer who says at he was bitten by a Skeleton.”
Another screen popped up making the other screen small so that they each toke up the haft the screen. This one also had a man in it only he was fairly thin and wear dark blue.
Officer: “well me and my partner had just gotten a call from a trucker who had said the he thought he hit some kid who was standing in the middle of the freeway, we drove over the spot the trucker had said and that’s when we saw it. At first we thought it was some kid in a mask, but when my partner when over a started dragging it over to the car it started to struggle then it’s hand just can off like that, my partner throw the hand back at it hitting in the head and started panicking. I got down on my knees and moved over to it saying that we didn’t mean it no harm, I should have pulled back when the thing sent a glare my way, anyway I put my hand on it’s head the it grabs me and Bites me. I pull back and my partner puts a bullet in it’s arm, bet that’s the last time it tries to eat a human. Then it starts runnin towards the city.”
The second screen Disappered causing the other to get bigger. the man at the desk was then replaced by a film of my skeleton friend running down the street and into the city, and it was obverse that he was injured from the bullet in his arm.
Steve Murphy: “This some footage that our news copter caught just after this happening”
I looked up and over at Skull Boy, he wasn’t wearing his shirt but still held it in his hand, his upper left arm was bandage up and he had just a little bit of dry blood on his bottom jaw. He started to walk away from the living room, moving with out a sound, probe wished to get out of the room before he was asked a bunch of question. It wouldn’t be the first time he did so. Well he’s not the only one who can move without being noticed. I jumped down off the couch and started to follow him. It wasn’t long before he noticed I was there, I’m must be losing my touch or he was getting better. Then agene not many could take either of us by surprise only if where both really distracted.
“Oh hey Doom” He said turning to me as he opened a door the closed it “I’m just looking for the bathroom.”
It was odd for him to be looking for the bathroom other then when he was brushing his teeth or having a shower.
“I need to get the tasted of that human off my tongue. That and I don‘t really want to answer any question that I know well come my way.” I stated get the look I was giving him.
The two of us walked down the hall opening doors until we finally got to the bathroom. Skull Boy entered and Closed the door be hide him. I walked away going back to the living room, now that I knew what the skeleton was up to I was going to find out what everyone else was doing.
I knew Frank and Len, Poe and Scaredy where in the kitchen, and Ruby, Iris and Misery where still in the living room making some sort of battle plan for traveling around in this world.
“okay so I think it’s a good Idea if only Misery, Doom, Scaredy, Poe and I travel around outside since we weren’t seen” Ruby suggested, it was a good Idea to say the least.
“I agreed with Ruby” Misery said.
“That’s no fair I want to explore” Iris argued.
“Iris you where spotted, it might put us all in danger if you where seen agene.” Ruby tried to explain why she shouldn’t go out. “Besides you’ll have Skull Boy and Frank and Len to keep you company.”
“if you say so, Ruby” Iris sighed.
“well tell the others tomorrow morning.”
It’s wasn’t long after until I herd the dull thump of bone on wood. Skull Boy was coming from the bathroom and it sounded like he had taken his shoes off. He either wasn’t not truly focused on being quit or he really didn’t care if people herd him or not.
I looked over at Ruby, who’s face was beat red. She must have also herd Skull Boy coming down the hall.
I thought it was funny that they both had a crush on each other and NO ONE but me knew about it, well I think Frank and Len might know about Ruby’s crush on Skull Boy, but I know that I’m the only one who knows about Skull Boy’s crush on Ruby. I’m look at the way he acts around her, he gets vary shy and some times trips over his own words, he’s move confided when he knows he has her backing him up, the boy nearly fainted during Poe’s version of Romeo and Joliet, Oh and don’t forget the look of pure horror on his face when Ruby said she would pose beside the Luna Monster. She probe would not have come running back to the house if she knew that Skull Boy would have slain the beast if it even looked at her the wrong way.
Any-who, Skull Boy walked in to the room when Ruby finally got the bush off her face.
“So what’s the game plan?” Skull Boy asked causally, trying to use as few words as possibly ah, don’t want to trip and stubble over them do we.
“Ah.. We all should get some rest, we’ll fill everyone in tomorrow” Ruby answered, good one Ruby can’t tell your uneasy at all. Man, she’s been like that ever since she toke that thing from Skull Boys arm.
