Post #2507900 in The American Dream, a roleplay on RPG

KORBIN&VEE

Everything thing was a blur except for her face and of course the all too familiar dagger. These dream was all too real, the terrified feeling coursing through him. He knew exactly what was happening and yet had no control.I fucking fell asleep. She came in close, her emerald eyes all full of hate and anger. “Hello Korbin.” Shit. Shit. Shit. Her face flew back and the silver rune encrusted dagger appeared, within seconds pierced through his skin and into his heart.

“NO!” He screamed flying off the chair landing face first on the cold metal grate of the fire escape, which however painful was nothing more than relieving from the sweat that was pouring down his face. He took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down and rolled to a sitting position messing his hair back up so it wasn't clinging to his face.

“Nightmare?” a voice squeaked.

Korbin managed a smile looking at Vee slumping in the window sill a worried look horribly trying to be hidden. “I’m fine.” he said reassuring her.

“Good, cuz i’m not,” she perked up fluttering to his face. It has been nearly 24 hours, and I haven’t had a single piece of delicious...mouthwatering...sugar.” She dragged on, slowly falling to her knees.

Shooting his head back in complete confusion he grabbed his pocket watch from around his neck, the only thing he still had that tied him to 1600’s. “For one, it’s only been nine hours since we came and two you had almost an entire box before we came here.”

“oh yeah.” she said slowly rolling her eyes to the left.

“I told you to save them.”

“N-”

“But you clearly didn't listen.”

“Bu-”

“And now you’re complaining, just like I said you would.” He smiled victoriously. Vee was pouting, she had nothing else to say due to the fact that more often than not she would tend to win these little arguments, this was one of those rare occasion she had not. “Gimme a minute.” Or maybe she didn't. He groaned stumbling through the window. “Let me change, I smell of the road and that mishap just then didn’t help any.”

“Yeah, wasn't gonna say anything for fear of hurting your ego.” she teased as Korbin flopped into the window and onto his back. “Why’d you go in head first?” she asked flying over his face.

“Give me five minutes.”

“I’ll hold ya to it.” Vee winked as she flew off.

Korbin slung himself up and quickly changed into a pair of jeans and a black long sleeve shirt. Every new place begins with a cookie run. “Lets go Vee.” Almost on cue she immediately dropped onto his head. Korbin was most likely related to a taxi when it came down to it thanks to the unfortunate accident of her wing breaking making it so she never flew the same. Although it was different now she still flew, it was just never long distances.

As she sat on his head he felt her begin to slow tap his head, something she often did as a way to pass the time which turned into a little jam session with her humming as well as keeping the beat and his harmonica. A little over fifteen minutes went by and Vee gave up the beat to simply lay on his head soaking up the sun as Korbin stayed with his harmonica. That is, up until Vee shut up, yanking on Korbin’s hair. He let out a subtle wince “The Hell?”

“Do you smell that?”

“What?”

“The sweet smell of sugar,” She had a smile from ear to ear as she peered through the window. “finally.” she said slowly moving under his shirt and to the back of his shoulder with her head sticking out, a spot she proclaimed to be her “hiding spot” when it comes to being in public. As they were looking at the arrangement when a man came out of the store, almost on instinct Korbin grabbed it as it was closing and walked in. “We must buy one of everything.” she whispered.

“Like hell.” he said louder than expected as he stepped in line, completely unaware of his surroundings.
