Shot in the Dark

[IceQueen]

Ruby nodded. "99 Regular, 1 of a witch." She said.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Shouldn't be too hard." He said, grinning at her.

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby scoffed. "Getting a witch soul is so hard."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"We'll see." He said to her, getting a little cocky. "I think finding one is harder than actually getting it."

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby laughed. "Alright then."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Picked anything yet?" He asked her.

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby nodded, taking one of the tiles off the wall.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"So were are we headed?" He asks her, following Ruby.

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby smiled. "Pretty far."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Want me to carry you, or would you rather ride my shoulders?" He asked, holding her hand. "Maybe we should get you coffee, make you run faster."

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby laughed. "Shoulders."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Without saying another word, he lifted Ruby up and put her on his shoulders, laughing out loud.

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby smiled, leaning on his head.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Which direction should I walk?" He asked, smiling at Ruby.

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby smiled. "To the left."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

He followed, very much like a robot. "So, what are we hunting?"

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby smiled. "A few souls."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"How many is few?" He asked, grinning as he ran faster.

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby smiled. "3."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Should be easy. You're so light." He said, smiling up at her.

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby smiled. "I know."

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"But not everything about you is light." He said, giggling.

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby whacked his head.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Ouch!" He said, rubbing the back of his head. "What was that for?!"

 

[IceQueen]

Ruby smiled. "For calling me heavy."
